Frequently Asked Questions

What is financial coaching, and how is it different from financial advising?

Financial coaching is about helping you create clarity and systems for your everyday money life. Instead of telling you what to invest in or selling financial products, I walk alongside you as a guide. Together we’ll look at your numbers, your habits, and your goals, and then build a plan that actually fits your real life.

Coaching isn’t about “fixing” you, it’s about helping you take control, reduce stress, and use money as a tool to support the life you feel called to live.

What makes Prosperous Nest different from other money programs?

Some programs are built around one-size-fits-all rules and a tough-love approach. While that works for some, it can leave others feeling judged, overwhelmed, or like they’ve failed if they don’t fit the mold.

My coaching takes a different path. I believe money should serve your values and your family’s unique mission. Instead of strict rules, we build a flexible system that makes sense for your life. Instead of shame or fear, we use grace, accountability, and encouragement. The goal isn’t just to get out of debt or stick to a budget, it’s to create peace with money and a system that lasts.

What happens in the Financial Snapshot Session?

The Financial Snapshot is a one-time deep dive designed for those who want clarity about where they are right now. I’ll give you a simple spreadsheet to help you gather your numbers ahead of time, and I review them before we meet. Then, during our session, we walk through your financial picture together, talk through what’s been weighing on you, and uncover some of the “why” behind your money stress.

You’ll leave with greater awareness and one or two small, practical next steps to help you move forward with more confidence.

What’s included in the 6-Month Money Map Journey?

The Money Map Journey is where transformation happens. We begin with a few weekly sessions to build your personalized money system. Once the foundation is in place, we move to biweekly sessions so you have time to practice, adjust, and strengthen your habits while still having consistent guidance.

Over the six months, you’ll move from feeling stressed and scattered to having clarity, confidence, and a system you can sustain long after coaching ends.

What’s the difference between the Financial Snapshot and the 6-Month Money Map Journey?

The Snapshot is a one-time session for clarity; it’s like holding up a mirror to your financial life so you can see exactly where you stand today. It often uncovers why you’ve been feeling the way you do about money and helps you identify a few simple next steps.

The Money Map Journey, on the other hand, is a process of transformation. It’s not just about clarity in the moment, it’s about creating long-term change, building a system that works, and having support as you walk it out. Many clients who start with a Snapshot eventually choose to continue with the Journey once they see the value of having a guide.

Do I need to do the Financial Snapshot before joining the 6-Month Money Map Journey?

No, the Snapshot isn’t required. Many clients start right away with the Money Map Journey if they’re ready for deeper transformation. The Snapshot is a great option if you’d like to get clarity first, want to test out what coaching feels like, or aren’t ready to commit to six months yet.

Why do you recommend 6-month coaching instead of month-to-month?

Lasting change takes time. While quick wins are encouraging, it usually takes several months to break old habits, build new ones, and start seeing the kind of peace and consistency you want with money.

Is financial coaching right for me?

If money often feels stressful, confusing, or like a point of tension in your home, coaching can help. You don’t need to have it all together or even know where to start. Coaching is for individuals and couples who want clarity, accountability, and hope with their finances.

If you’re tired of avoiding money or trying to figure it out alone, financial coaching gives you both the tools and the support to finally move forward.

What if I’m not good with numbers or budgeting?

That’s exactly why coaching exists. You don’t need to be a numbers person, the tools we use do the math for you. What matters is your willingness to be open and take small steps forward. I’ll make sure everything stays clear, simple, and doable.

Will I have to follow a strict budget?

Not at all. Strict budgets often fail because they ignore real life. Instead, we’ll build a flexible, values-based system that balances structure with freedom. You’ll have clarity about what’s available for bills, goals, and spending, without cutting out every joy.

What if I can’t afford coaching right now?

That’s a very real concern. But here’s the truth: financial stress is already costing you, whether it’s in fees, interest, missed opportunities, or tension at home. Coaching is an investment that often pays for itself many times over, both financially and emotionally.

And remember, you don’t need to do this forever. Six months of coaching gives you tools and systems you can carry with you for years to come.

How much time does coaching require?

Our sessions are usually 60 minutes, and between calls I’ll give you simple action steps. Most clients spend less than an hour a week outside of coaching. Over time, as your system gets set up, you’ll find that managing your money takes just a few minutes a week and a short monthly check-in, freeing up your headspace and reducing stress.

Do you work with individuals as well as couples?

Yes. I work with individuals and couples who feel stuck, stressed, or unsure about their finances. Coaching is customized to your situation, whether you’re on your own or sharing money with someone else.

How do I get started?

It begins with a free Q&A call. This is simply a conversation where you can share your goals, ask questions, and see if coaching feels like the right next step. From there, you can choose between starting with a Financial Snapshot or diving into the Money Map Journey.
