Business and personal finances are so intertwined.  Today, I’m chatting with my client Alex.  In the last few months, Alex has hit his highest revenue in his business, stopped robbing Peter to pay Paul, and started to pay himself consistently. Tune in now to hear how working with a financial coach supported him with his business and personal finances.  Grab my free Money Journal (bi...

I’m not ready just yet , the last words I heard from Dayna after our consultation last December. BUT I have the opportunity to chat with her because she reached back out in March to do 1:1 coaching and that’s how she’s been hitting her goals ever since.   Maybe you’ve considered wanting to work with me to start making changes with your finances but you’ve told yourself not yet.  If...

If you’ve ever tried other financial programs or apps (like Dave Ramsey, Mint, Keep The Change, etc.) but haven’t found lasting financial success then you’ll want to tune in for the second Where Are They Now? series interview.   This is the second live interview with my client Andraéa, who worked with me and finally found a way to solve the cycle of spending her savings and paying off th...

In this conversation, I'm joined by my client Maggie who is celebrating her one-year anniversary of working with me. In less than a year, she’s paid off over five-figures of credit card debt, built and sustained an emergency fund, and set new financial goals so can refocus the money she was using to pay off debt. Maggie will tell you in college she got a credit card for a free t-shirt and that was...

Today I’m introducing you to my client Andraéa.  In this episode, we dive into how she worked through the heaviness and overwhelm that people often associate with budgeting so she could take the fear out of looking at her bank account. (You’ll hear her jokingly mention that she no longer fears getting email notifications from Bank of America because of the work we did in my 1:1 partnership.)&...

You can have all of the “right” things in the right place and still benefit from financial coaching.  When I work with clients, it’s not just about creating a budget it’s about changing your relationship with money.  This is the exact work I did with Kim because she wasn’t looking to have a solid debt pay off plan or even a solid savings plan- those things were already set.   She ne...

In this week’s episode of Money Files, I’m introducing you to my client Kim in a special two-part episode. I wanted to share Kim’s story in two parts because her story of transformation started before we even started formally working together.  In May, Kim joined Mimosas + Money Matters , a free group coaching call I host once a month.  From the outside looking in, she was joining a grou...

Brave is the word I’d use to describe the client that I’m chatting with this week in my Money Files series. After filing bankruptcy almost a year ago, Karen reached out to me because she wanted to rebuild her financial foundation. At the time, she was apprehensive about hiring a financial coach because she feared rejection and disappointment, something she’s experienced often and wanted to avoid a...

In this episode, Lynae candidly shares that when she first heard about my services, she wasn’t ready to start working together.  In fact, she told herself that because she had multiple degrees, she should be able to get it together (I’m sure you can relate to feeling like you should be smart enough to figure out your finances on your own!) So she continued reading financial resources and tryi...

This week I’m introducing you to my client Suzanne.  Prior to working together, Suzanne tracked her finances and felt like she was very conscientious of where her money was going but was still caught off guard by expenses. She would have even told you she had a budget.  In this candid conversation, she shares how she set goals about how much she desired to spend on groceries and made sur...

For years, Maggie made an annual goal to get out of credit card debt but despite her best efforts, the credit card debt increased year after year from $2,000 to over $16,000. When Maggie thought about what she needed to do to achieve her goals of paying off debt and saving money she wasn’t able to see beyond her reality, the reality that seemed to say that she’d be in debt forever despite her best...

When we first started working together, Marie would list out her bills in her planner and “x” out everything that had been paid with her most recent paycheck until she got to what was “left over”.  She viewed the money she had left as spending money until the next time she was paid. It probably sounds like Marie had a good handle on her money but this system wasn't working all that well for h...

Today I’m sharing a special bonus episode in my Money Files series. This conversation centered around business finances and I talked to my client, Brooke who felt unsure of how to manage the financial aspect of her business. Brooke is a mom of two and a business owner. After two years in her business, she decided she needed to get her mind right with her business finances and start paying more att...

Today I’m introducing you to Martha, a long-time friend of mine. Even after 10 years of lots of financial advice, she still saw reason to reach out and get more. Even after ten years of friendship and countless financial conversations, she decided to dedicate 30 days of her life in my one month intensive to start changing her relationship with money. Martha is married with two small kids and she t...

I can’t wait for you to dive in and meet Roselynn. You’ll hear Roselynn jokingly share that she found her “financial fairy godmother” as she shares the behind-the-scenes story of our coaching partnership. You’ll also hear that she waited a long time to experience that kind of support because she thought she needed to get things “in order” before we could start working together. In our conversation...

Today you’ll meet Lisa who has an incredible story of grace, forgiveness, and courage.  I can guarantee that you do not want to miss this episode - it gives me chills to hear her reflect on her growth and transformation! Lisa found me after she made a move across the country to start over after leaving an abusive marriage and her job behind.  She also had over $20,000 in credit card debt...

Today, I want to invite you to the second episode of my Money Files Series with my client Katie. Katie found me after she realized she needed help saving more and spending less and it led her to a Google Search for a financial advisor. She no longer wanted to be stressed out about how she was going to pay her bills and keep up with everything. Katie especially wanted to work on her habit of using...

Today, I want to introduce you to April.  When April and I started working together she was considering bankruptcy after a recent divorce.  She was also grappling with a money story she’d heard for years which she’ll tell you about in the interview. Here are just a few things you’ll learn when you tune into April’s conversation: How April went from believing that bankruptcy was her only...
