"I’ve gained a new perspective on spending: investing in what I love, cutting back on what I don’t, and finding a true balance"
Before starting the Certified Money Coach program, I was confident in my financial knowledge—I’m an accountant and actively invest. However, I had no clue how to coach. I expected a structured framework I could learn, apply, rinse, and repeat.
While the sessions did have structure, I quickly realized that every outcome is different. More than just money, coaching is about the mindsets, experiences, and emotions we associate with it.
On a personal level, I learned that while investing is great, cutting costs just to invest—at the expense of enjoying life—isn’t the best approach. I’ve gained a new perspective on spending: investing in what I love, cutting back on what I don’t, and finding a true balance.
On a professional level, I discovered that as coaches, our role isn’t to give answers but to ask the questions people don’t ask themselves. We help them think outside the box and uncover what’s truly holding them back.
Now, at the end of this journey, I feel not just knowledgeable, but empowered to guide others in transforming their relationship with money. It’s been a truly eye-opening experience!
