Get off the income rollercoaster!

Feel like you make as much money as you do

When your income isn’t the same every month, paying regular monthly expenses can be stressful. Add unexpected things like home repairs or a car breaking down, and saving for goals can feel impossible. I help people like you create a plan for those unexpected things so you can feel confident paying for them AND spending money on fun things like vacation. You make enough money–start feeling like you do.

Fewer financial concerns

Your bills are paid, your savings are there, you’ve got an amazing vacation planned…life is good!

No money guilt

Back the premium board game Kickstarter, go through the drive-through to get your fancy coffee, buy your kid the cool toy they want for their birthday…AND have savings set aside for car repairs, taxes, and that annual bill you always used to forget about!

Advice specific to your life

A benefit to working with a coach is that we don’t have to spend time on topics that are irrelevant to you. We can focus on what’s relevant to YOUR lives.

How Coaching Works

Depending on what you’re looking for, there are several ways to work with me listed in order of investment (both financial and time spent together!):

If you’re DIY people (or one of you is!), consider signing up for Guided Budget Coaching to work with me using MyBudgetCoach. You’ll get an innovative budgeting platform where my avatar (not AI–handcrafted by yours truly!) will walk you through getting your budget set up. You can message me through the platform or book a call at a discounted rate.
If you were ready to create a budget yesterday and just want to dive in, get something made, and run with it, we can do Budget Springboard sessions. We’ll spend 90 minutes getting your budget set up in YNAB, then spend 30 more minutes together around the end/beginning of the next month to cover that pesky month transition.
Just want someone to set everything up for you and your situation? Add the optional Personalized Budget Setup onto your Budget Springboard. Fill out a few forms for me and I’ll get YNAB setup for you before we even have our first call.
If you’re looking for help building a budget with your partner and want to improve your relationship along the way, my three-month Comprehensive Financial Coaching package is the way to go. We’ll meet twice a month with one session focused on the budget, and one session focused on your relationship together.
