What is Money Coaching?  Money Coaching is a rapidly growing field and new paradigm.  Bridges two worlds, the financial services industry and the field of psychology.  Works with people around their unconscious patterns, beliefs and behaviors around money through a step-by-step process.  Helps to create new levels of awareness from which positive financial change can occur.

What is Money Coaching?  Identifies underlying “hard-wired” patterns.  Determines “core” money behaviors that stem from this patterning.  Helps clients gain awareness into their unconscious patterns, beliefs and behaviors and how they influence their financial life.  Coaches and supports clients through positive change and helps to become financially empowered.

Common Issues with Couples who Work Together  Conflicting money & work patterns  Unconscious roles assumed  Unclear agreements  Boundary issues  Unexpressed emotions (anger; resentment)  Differences in communication styles  Clash of values & priorities  Issues of control and power

Key Fact: Money is a core survival issue. One that most have little, if any, preparation for.

According to the Center for Financial Social Work, money issues are: The # 1 Stressor in peoples’ lives. The # 1 Cause of divorce. A major source of depression, anxiety, and insomnia An emotional roller coaster that diminishes decision making and coping skills.

How Can Couples Change This?  By moving beyond the “money taboo” and learning to talk about money openly.  By accepting that many of our money beliefs may be flawed and need to be re-calibrated.  By recognizing that as an adult, we have the power through awareness to change our patterns and challenge our beliefs.

Work Together Harmoniously  Understand your core money & work patterns  Creating clear roles and agreements  Establishing healthy boundaries  Learn to speak your truth, communicate clearly  Respect your differences  Become aligned in your vision & value  Learn to empower, rather than control one another.
