Working with Debbie turned out to be absolutely worth it. I have so much more clarity and confidence than I did before."

The reasons Why you still Feel Stuck
Most people trying to “fix” their money fall into one of three camps:
CAMP 1: PARALYZED
You know you should do something about your money. You’re overwhelmed and afraid of choosing the “wrong” approach, so you pick nothing. You keep promising yourself you’ll deal with it next month. And you stay stuck…
CAMP 2: WINGING IT
Money comes in. Bills go out. You hope there’s enough left at the end of the month to save. There’s no real plan — just mental math, crossed fingers, and reacting to whatever pops up next. And you wonder why you can’t get ahead.
CAMP 3: PATCHWORKING
You have a system… kind of. A budget here. A savings account there. An old spreadsheet. A half-used app. A few rules you try to follow. But it all feels duct-taped together — and every unexpected expense knocks things off track.
Here’s what these approaches have in common: None of help you take control of your money.
You need a simple, strategic system that does the heavy lifting for you and someone that walks you through exactly what to do.
That’s exactly what Financial Coaching does.
“My perspective has shifted from stress, overwhelm, and guilt, to feeling motivated, empowered and encouraged.”
“I feel immensely relieved and excited about the plan we’ve created to reach our goals while still enjoying life! ”

taking control of your finances doesn’t have to mean giving up everything you love
Hi, I’m Debbie, Founder of Quest Financial Coaching.
For many, money represents restriction, stress, and a constant "financial fog." After 20+ years in finance, I’ve found that typical advice fails because it only looks at the surface. To get real control, you need to address the two things holding you back:
Your System: Most "money rules" are based on deprivation—saying no to lattes, vacations, and fun. My approach replaces restriction with intention. It’s not about spending less; it’s about directing your money toward what actually matters to you.
Your Money Psychology: We all carry "invisible scripts"—deep-seated beliefs that drive our financial actions without us even noticing. If you don't understand your psychology, even the best spreadsheet will eventually fail.
What if you finally had a clear plan for your money? What if, once you understood your unique psychology, the rest finally fell into place?
I’ve built a time-tested system to help you bridge that gap and move from money stress to clarity, confidence, and total control.
the missing pieces of the puzzle
“I actually celebrate the money i do spend on myself now.”
“I was operating from a place of scarcity, feeling like i didn't have money to spend on extra things. Now, even if it is a small purchase such a coffee or a book, I feel a new freedom to revel in that spend and truly enjoy it, rather than letting guilty feelings zap my energy and joy.”

Years in finance — making money simple to understand —and manage.
Clients’ lives transformed by a behavioral and practical approach to money.
Women, couples and solopreneurs finally achieving lasting results.
There’s a reason you’re here.
Something is nudging you to take action because you’ve realized that "trying harder" isn't the same as having a plan. Whether you are paralyzed by the fear of a wrong move, winging it with mental math, or exhausted by a "patchwork" system that never sticks—you know instinctively that it’s time for a change.
Money stress never stays "just" about money.
Left unchecked, financial friction eventually bleeds into your health, your relationships, and your peace of mind. If you’re feeling the weight of being "stuck," that is your timing speaking. You’ve told yourself long enough that it was time to get your finances in order.
Let’s see if we’re a fit.
I’ve spent 20+ years helping people take financial control with a strategic, simple plan. Schedule a 20-Minute Conversation to explore if coaching is the right next step for you. It’s a casual, thoughtful discussion—not a high-pressure sales pitch.
