MEET YOUR FACILITATOR
20+ Years of Teaching, Coaching,
and Making Money Make Sense
Hi, I'm Katy.
Before I was a money coach, I was a teacher.
That means I know how to take something intimidating — like debt, budgeting, or building an emergency fund — and make it click for a room full of people, not just one person at a time.
Over the past several years, I've helped individual clients pay off more than $1 million in debt using strategies that don't rely on shame or restriction.
Now I bring that same approach to teams: practical, judgment-free financial education that actually changes behavior — not just another benefits PDF nobody reads.
I also host The Debt Payoff Podcast, with 38,000+ downloads, where I break down real financial strategies every week.

— HR Representative, Mascoma Savings Bank
THE FINAL WORD
After 100+ Clients and Thousands of Conversations, One Thing Is Clear
I've had thousands of conversations about money — with clients, workshop attendees, podcast listeners, and people who just wanted to ask a question.
Talk to that many people about their finances, and a pattern emerges.
It's rarely about a lack of discipline or intelligence. It's about never being taught how money actually works, and carrying shame about that silence into every financial decision since.
Your team isn't any different.
The employee who seems distracted, the one who's quiet in benefits meetings, the one who never takes PTO because they're afraid to lose the income — that's financial stress showing up at work, even when no one says the word "money" out loud.
What actually helps isn't another generic wellness webinar. It's someone who can explain money simply, without judgment, and give people a real plan they'll actually follow.
