27 | Tavianna’s Growing Money Confidence

When I started working with Tavianna, she was living paycheck to paycheck…even though she was making plenty of money. The issue wasn’t necessarily her income—though she does have bigger income goals now—it was the fact that she wasn’t paying attention to where her money was going. Through working with me in my five month coaching partnership, Tavianna learned how to implement spending goals, why it’s important to give specific purposes to each dollar she earns, and how to be prepared when unexpected expenses pop up. She discovered how to communicate clearly with her partner about finances, ditch the installment plan lifestyle, and manage her finances in a way that moved her intentionally forward, instead of falling back into old habits. This money knowledge and confidence has helped her to build up how much money is in her accounts, to choose consciously where she spends her money, and to think strategically about how and when she gives money to others. These changes to her mindset and conversations around money allowed her to focus more clearly on her financial goals and dreams.
