achieve lasting results


It’s 3am and you’re staring at the ceiling wondering how you’re going to pay that $800 surprise vet bill

You swore this would be the year you’d get your finances in order, but life got in the way. you….

  • Feel exhausted trying to make a plan when your brain is already fried from, well, everything else.

  • Wonder how it is you’re making a decent income but still end up with little to save.

  • Open your credit card statement with a pit in your stomach because you’re afraid of what you’ll see.

  • Keep draining your savings when life throws another curveball — wishing you were more prepared.

  • Feel frustrated with yourself - and sometimes with your partner - causing stress in your relationship.

IF YOU WANT TO STOP STRESSING ABOUT MONEY, YOU need TO CHANGE YOUR APPROACH

“i have so much more clarity and confidence than I did before.

At first, I wasn’t sure if hiring a financial coach was a smart use of money—or just me throwing more money at a problem. But I realized I needed support, structure, and a system to finally feel in control of my finances.

Working with Debbie turned out to be absolutely worth it."

— Jen Z. - Hypnotherapist

the reasons you still feel stuck

Most people fall into one of three camps:

CAMP 1: PARALYZED

You know you should do something about your money. But you’re overwhelmed and afraid of choosing the “wrong” approach, so you pick nothing. You keep promising yourself you’ll deal with it next month. And you stay stuck.

CAMP 2: WINGING IT

Money comes in. Bills go out. You hope there’s enough left at the end of the month to save. There’s no real plan — just mental math, crossed fingers, and reacting to whatever pops up next. You wonder every month why you can’t get ahead.

CAMP 3: PATCHWORKING

You have a system… kind of. A budget here. A savings account there. An old spreadsheet. A half-used app. A few rules you try to follow. But it all feels duct-taped together — and every unexpected expense knocks things off track.

Here’s what these approaches have in common: None of help you take control of your money.

That’s exactly what financial coaching does.

“My perspective has shifted from stress, overwhelm, and guilt, to feeling motivated, empowered, and encouraged.

I feel immensely relieved and excited about the plan we’ve created to reach our goals while still enjoying life!"

— Alix M. - Body Confidence Coach

taking control of your finances doesn’t have to mean giving up everything you love

“i actually celebrate the money i do spend on myself now.

I was operating from a place of scarcity, feeling like i didn't have money to spend on extra things.

Now, even if it is a small purchase such a coffee or a book, I feel a new freedom to revel in that spend and truly enjoy it, rather than letting guilty feelings zap my energy and joy."

— Lisa J. - Paint Color Specialist

a different approach to your money

Welcome! I’m so glad you’re here.

I’m Debbie, founder of Quest Financial Coaching. After two decades in finance helping thousands of people take control of their money, one thing is clear - the problem isn’t you. It’s very likely the system you’ve been using (or the lack of one).

What if rather than a restrictive budget and tracking every penny, you had simple systems and a clear plan for your money that was aligned with what mattered most to you? What if, once you understood your unique money psychology, everything finally fell into place?

I’d love for you to experience the sense of relief and empowerment that my clients feel once they finally feel in control of their finances. The joy of being on the same page as your partner, and the feeling of excitement as you move toward the goals that are so important to you.

Practical wisdom, personalized coaching, and a proven process.

There’s a reason you’re here

Something is nudging you to take action. Whether you’re paralyzed by the fear of a wrong move, winging it with mental math, or exhausted by a "patchwork" system that isn’t working — you likely know instinctively that it’s time for a change.
