Hi, I’m Melinda!
It’s nice to meet you!
My husband and I live in Northeast TN with our two young adult children in college. I’m here because I love seeing the life changes that occur with financial coaching. Finances are a major aspect of our everyday lives and affect every decision we make.
We know how it feels to have the weight of debt and stress affecting your daily life. In 2007, my husband and I were living like many American households. We had one income, a mortgage, and two auto loans. We were not sure where our money was going when we unexpectedly had a 25% decrease in income.
We were homeschooling and trying to keep one parent at home to raise our young children. We soon realized that we needed a plan, and our current plan wasn’t going to work! I created a budget and began tracking every penny we spent. I found ways to cut expenses and earn extra money that began going directly to our debts. We started directing our money where to go instead of wondering where it went!
I received my certifications through the Ramsey Financial Coach Master Training and the Accountable Network-Coach Connections program. Before financial coaching and homeschooling our children, I worked in finance for Fingerhut Distribution Co. I have always loved working with finances and working with others to succeed financially!
Discussing your finances is extremely private and I understand most people aren’t comfortable talking about money. I work closely with individuals to learn what’s happening beyond the checkbook and credit cards. I also serve as a mentor for financial decisions and accountability partners for you. For married couples, the process of coaching helps you both find a place of agreement and serve as responsibility partners. With a plan, you can have peace and less stress every day.
From the convenience of your home or office, you can begin the journey to transform your life. I use Zoom or other video chat platforms for all of my meetings.
My consultations are complimentary. I would love to hear how I may be able to help you or support you with the right resources.
