And so it was important for us to find a coach who was not only knowledgeable, but who made me feel comfortable within the first uh few minutes of our Zoom consultation with Jeff, he had created an atmosphere of friendliness that was relaxed and that made me feel like I could open up and be vulnerable and be transparent about why I get scared to look at my finances or why I don't want to change my money habits.

I had tremendous anxiety when my husband suggested we find a financial coach for me, I feel very vulnerable when discussing money. And so it was important for us to find a coach who was not only knowledgeable, but who made me feel comfortable within the first uh few minutes of our Zoom consultation with Jeff, he had created an atmosphere of friendliness that was relaxed and that made me feel like I could open up and be vulnerable and be transparent about why I get scared to look at my finances or why I don't want to change my money habits. Um And I think, I think that's what sets him apart from other finance coaches out there. Is he cares about your long term success? He doesn't just want to know about your money habits. He wants to understand how you think about money because he gets that for most of us, money is a visceral thing. It makes us feel emotional and we can have blockages that prevents us from long term success with our finances. He takes you from maybe feeling shame or fear about finances to being excited and empowered with your money. He's also very passionate about what he's teaching. Not only is he knowledgeable, but he's excited about it. And that is infectious and overall, a coach that cares who's knowledgeable and who's rooting for you beyond your co coaching sessions with you. That, that is worth a lot.

And what bringing Jeff in what happened was he's a, he's very reassuring and he's very calming and having that third party change the dynamic of the conversation so that my spouse and I could on both sides communicate better of, oh, this is what we want to do and this is how we want to do it.

So, something that I was worried about in being coached in finance is like, I'm a full grown man. I've done just fine in life. But my spouse and I, we were stuck in the same conversations we had used mint. We'd used like a Google doc. We had done a few things um to try to take a hold of our finances and just take a hold, meaning just make sure that the dollars were going towards the things that we want to go to. So we could have the fun things that we wanted to have and maybe not eat out so much that we can do the go on the trip that we wanted to. All those things. My wife and I, we were stuck in the same conversation cycle. And what bringing Jeff in what happened was he's a, he's very reassuring and he's very calming and having that third party change the dynamic of the conversation so that my spouse and I could on both sides communicate better of, oh, this is what we want to do and this is how we want to do it. And that was just huge, a very calming presence every time that we met to answer questions and help us think about it differently so that we could just have better conversation. It sounds like it was like a, like we were going through therapy, which is funny. It, that's not the case, but it was therapy for money just helping us communicate differently.
