How do we begin?

This is A safe place

This is a space for sensitive conversations—money, identity, family, health, and work realities you may keep private elsewhere. We lead with self‑compassion and privacy; you choose the pace. The goal is simple: help you feel empowered about the next few steps. 

  • A gentle first step (Fit Call, 15–20 min): We listen. If coaching is a fit, we’ll confirm scope and next steps. 
  • Breakthrough 120 — (two parts): We map your month, find 2–3 easy wins, and set first auto‑transfers. You leave with a one‑page Purpose Budget, a short “unnecessary expenses” list, and a calm next‑steps plan. 
  • Coordination with your pros: We’ll prep crisp question packs for your CFP/CPA/attorney/HR/benefits and, if abroad is in play, immigration and tax specialists. Neutral referrals available; no referral compensation.
