Before working with Marisa I had a very difficult time understanding where my money was going. Since I’ve started working with her, I have a greater understanding of how and where my money is being spent. The skills she taught me have me in a much better position to pay off debt, while still being able to spend money on things I want.

Marisa Stephens
Your Financial Coach
Hey! I’m Marisa, and I know what it’s like to be caught between paying off debt, building savings, and striving for financial freedom. The pressure. The guilt. The grind. The tug-of-war between wanting to enjoy life now and still build for the future. I’ve worked with single professionals, young families, solopreneurs, and everything in between. Some barely getting by, others managing multiple income streams. The truth? Almost everyone feels like they ‘should be doing better.’
After navigating my own financial challenges, I built a solid money strategy that pushed the boundaries of what I thought was possible. And gave me options I didn’t know I had. Now, as a wife, mom, and first-generation millionaire, my lifestyle is both fulfilling and financially secure because my money works on purpose. And I’m on a mission to bring that same freedom to you, and help you strategically and effortlessly use your money to live a more satisfying life – on your terms. Because I get it. And I got you.

Financial Freedom is More Than a Number
Coaching isn’t just about what’s in your bank account. It’s about the life you get to live when the money part is finally handled.
- Unlock More Choices: You gain the power of having options. The option to travel. The option to rest. The option to confidently say “yes” to what matters and “no” to what doesn’t.
- Change How You Show Up: We don’t just talk about budgets, we remove the weight of financial stress. So you can be more present in your home, more confident in your relationships, and more at peace with yourself.
- Start a New Legacy: You might not have been handed a financial blueprint, but you’re the one building it now. We’ll break generational patterns and build a new legacy of wealth and knowledge.
