“i have so much more clarity and confidence than I did before.
At first, I wasn’t sure if hiring a financial coach was a smart use of money—or just me throwing more money at a problem. But I realized I needed support, structure, and a system to finally feel in control of my finances.
Working with Debbie turned out to be absolutely worth it."
— Jen Z. - Hypnotherapistthe reasons while 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. But 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.
That’s exactly what financial coaching does.

taking control of your finances doesn’t have to mean giving up everything you love
“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."

Welcome! I’m so glad you’re here.
I’m Debbie, the founder of Quest Financial Coaching. After two decades in finance helping thousands of people take control of their money, one thing is clear - the problem isn’t you. It’s very likely the system you’ve been using (or the lack of one).
What if you finally had simple systems and a clear plan for your money that was aligned with what mattered most to you? What if, once you understood your unique money psychology, everything finally fell into place?
I’d love for you to experience the sense of relief and empowerment that my clients feel once they finally feel in control of their finances. The joy of being on the same page with their partner, and the feeling of excitement, of moving toward the goals that are so important to them.
