It’s great to meet you! I’m Tara.
I totally get it… finances and budgeting can seem really overwhelming, which makes it tempting to just ignore them altogether. But I’m here to help you turn that around!
Together, we can create a clear and intentional plan that empowers you to take control, get organized, and stay motivated on your journey to achieving your financial goals.
As your Financial Coach, I'll be right by your side, cheering you on as you move from just surviving to truly thriving!
My Story
I’ve always been one to keep things organized, but when it came to managing my finances, I was a bit of a hot mess. For years, I ignored the whole budgeting thing, and ended up marrying someone who... well, let’s just say organization wasn’t his thing.
After a while, we both realized that if we wanted to create the life we dreamed of, we’d have to make some serious changes. So, we jumped into Dave Ramsey’s program and finally sat down and put together our very first budget.
As life threw us curveballs, our goals and strategies evolved, and so did our budget. I know I’m not alone in being shocked by how high daycare costs can get… it's surprising, right? But we managed to tackle it with some creative thinking, careful budgeting, and a healthy dose of grace and prayer.
Now, I feel called to share what I’ve learned and cheer you on in your financial journey to thriving in the life you dream of.
My Experience
As a wife, mom, and household organizer, I totally get how chaotic planning and budgeting can be, especially with life throwing unexpected punches at us.
I've been on quite the journey myself, from being a financial hot mess as a single girl to figuring things out as newlyweds, and now managing our family budget as parents and entrepreneurs.
It hasn’t always been easy, but with some careful budgeting and a lot of hard work, we’ve achieved some amazing things.
We paid off three cars in just four years, got married without racking up any wedding debt, welcomed two beautiful babies without incurring medical debt, and navigated the ups and downs of homeownership… going from owning a home to renting and back to owning again.
It’s all about finding what works for you and rolling with the punches.
Thriving isn’t just about tackling debt, building your savings, and buying the things you want.
It’s about intentionally building the life you dream of, without stressing about money.
My Coaching Style
My best friend once told me that my endless optimism helps keep her pessimism at bay, and frankly, that’s what I want for all my clients.
I get it… setting and sticking to a budget can feel like an uphill battle, and finances can be super confusing. But guess what? I’m here to walk with you, keep the motivation alive, and be that calming presence amid the chaos.
Think of me as a guide on your journey to creating the life you truly want. Sometimes thats offering budgeting tips and helping you build and stick to that budget, and keeping things realistic. Other times, it’s about being your accountability buddy, cheering you on when it gets tough, or helping you tackle those unexpected financial curveballs life tends to throw.
As a certified Ramsey Solutions Financial Master Coach, I’m a big fan of the Baby Steps but also know they’re not the only way to achieving those financial goals. After all, everyone’s journey is unique. I’m also not here to manage your money… that’s where a financial advisor comes in. My role is to inspire and support you on this journey to chase your dreams through intentional and strategic financial coaching.
Together, we’ll pave the way to not just surviving, but truly thriving.
