MY STORY
My journey with personal finance started in 2015, living paycheck to paycheck and working in the food & beverage industry. I had dreams and goals to live an abundant life, but I realized I needed a plan and a system to get me there. I started using You Need A Budget (YNAB) to keep things in order and flowing smoothly. After a few years of using YNAB and building my own support system, I experienced a newfound level of confidence, excitement, and fulfillment in managing my money. Yes, my income was still highly variable, but the philosophy and system I was using was smoothing out the roller coaster ride. I learned to take a holistic view of my well-being and apply that to my budget.
Then I met my wife, Courtney, and everything expanded! She was travel nursing at the time, and we struck out to travel together. This went on for about five years, with assignments in Arkansas, Hawaii, California, Idaho, Hawaii again, and finally, Kansas City, Missouri, where it all began. Our success in these ventures relied on using the YNAB method to track every dollar and make these moves happen with relative grace, along with ongoing personal and professional development. With each new adventure, we experienced great upheaval, perfecting our approach to change each time.
I now recognize that the know-how of working with budgets can be profoundly insightful as we work through deep layers of our inner being, approaching change with an open mind and a flexible plan. This ongoing journey is far more tricky than some math here and there, and ultimately, the mysterious natures of change and variation can make it difficult to find peace in financial life. I will teach you to harmonize these powerful forces.
As a Budget Coach, my aim is to provide you with a safe and supportive space to explore and understand your financial situation. This will help you make informed choices that are best suited to your needs. Together, we will analyze your circumstances and find a new path that leads to healing, joy, and peace. A brighter future awaits you.
