This is Still an Uncomfortable Subject, but I am Getting There



Not too long ago, I found myself feeling overwhelmed and insecure when it came to financial matters. Money conversations were stress-inducing, and I often avoided them altogether. This avoidance, I now realize, caused me to miss out on numerous opportunities to optimize my savings and make informed decisions about my financial future during the early years of my career.


Money conversations were stress-inducing, and I often avoided them altogether.

I wanted to take a moment to share a transformative journey that has greatly impacted my life—my experience working with a life coach to create a solid financial plan. It's a journey that has not only reshaped my approach to money but has also empowered me to take control of my financial future.


Recognizing the need for change, I decided to work with a life coach who specialized in financial planning. Together, we embarked on a journey to create a roadmap for my financial goals based on my desired lifestyle. This process allowed me to set realistic targets and understand the resources required for effective financial planning.


One significant aspect of this journey was researching and exploring the various types of financial professionals in the market, from money managers to investment agents. With my life coach's support, I approached these meetings with confidence, knowing that I had a knowledgeable ally by my side.


Attending these meetings became an enlightening experience rather than a daunting one. Armed with well-thought-out questions, I explored my options without feeling pressured to make immediate decisions. Instead, I used these encounters as opportunities to gather information and insights, which I later evaluated during my coaching sessions.


Reflecting on my past financial decisions, I realized the importance of seeking professional guidance. The intimidation I felt towards financial help was rooted in a deeper understanding that my life coach helped me unravel. Understanding my hesitations allowed me to overcome self-imposed obstacles and move forward with a newfound sense of clarity and purpose.

While my journey toward financial goals is ongoing, the progress is undeniable. With the support of my life coach, I am now working on creating new streams of income and mitigating risks that I once took blindly. The insecurities and missed opportunities from my earlier years have become valuable lessons that fuel my determination to make informed choices.


I share this personal journey with you in the hope that it inspires and encourages those who may be facing similar challenges. Working with a life coach not only transformed my relationship with money but also provided me with the tools and confidence to navigate the complexities of financial planning.


For myself as much as others, I hope for a future filled with financial empowerment and informed decision-making.
