Client Story from our Coaching Program:

A was stuck in a cycle of taking out a payday loan and then needing to take out another to pay the previous loan off without ever getting ahead. Through coaching, A was able to learn about different options for managing her debt to help her break this cycle. With the support of her coach, she was able to create a plan for dealing with her debts and enroll in a debt management plan to make some of her debt payments more affordable and put some money back into her budget each month. A was able to learn about resources to help her lower her expenses and implement budgeting strategies, like automating her bills, to help make managing her money easier. A reports feeling relieved that her finances are more manageable now.
