Meet Your Coach
Hi, I'm Karen
I am on a mission to empower couples to discuss money openly and honestly. I believe that every couple can get on the same financial page — and that when they do, it transforms not just their finances, but their entire relationship.
My husband and I had been married for 18 years before we got on the same financial page. For almost two decades, we didn't talk about money — and our finances were a mess. We found ourselves in the overdraft by the 10th of every month, with no plan and no shared goals.
Our Story
When we finally started having honest conversations about money, everything changed. Together, we worked to pay off nearly $20,000 of debt. Being on the same page totally changed everything for us — we now keep each other accountable and show grace when things don't go as planned.
That experience is what led me to become a finance coach. I created Money & Marriage to be the resource I wished I'd had — a safe, judgement-free space where couples can learn to talk about money, build a plan together, and work towards their shared goals with confidence and faith.
As a Christian, I believe that God has a plan for our finances and that being good stewards of what we've been given is an act of worship. My coaching is rooted in faith, honesty, and practical action — helping couples honor God with their money while building a stronger marriage.
