What is Financial Coaching?

Financial coaching is a personalized, goal-oriented approach to managing money more effectively. A financial coach helps individuals understand their financial habits, develop better money management skills, and create action plans to achieve financial goals. Unlike financial advisors who may provide investment strategies, financial coaches focus on education, behavior change, and accountability, helping people build confidence in their financial decisions.

Who am I?

Hi, I'm Danelle Alexander! As a wife and mother of three amazing kids, I know firsthand the challenges and rewards of managing personal finances. My passion for financial empowerment led me to start my coaching business, because I believe everyone deserves the confidence and freedom that comes with financial clarity.

Like many families, we've made our share of mistakes—but through constant learning, adjustments, and a commitment to organization, we've found a path to better financial decisions. Now, I want to help you do the same, so you can take control and build the financial future you deserve!

Why Me?

I know what it’s like to feel overwhelmed by money—to be buried in debt, living paycheck to paycheck, uncertain of how to break free. Like so many, I once believed financial "normal" meant student loans for college, credit cards to build credit, car loans, home equity loans, and making minimum payments just to stay afloat. It was a cycle of watching our checking account dip dangerously low, over-drafting, maxing out credit cards, shifting balances around, and never having real savings. But then, we found a way out. We learned how to take control—how to get organized, eliminate debt, and finally stop living paycheck to paycheck. The sense of relief, the freedom, the ability to save and plan for the future—it’s life-changing. Looking back, I can’t believe we ever lived the way we did. And that’s why I’m here now. As a Financial Coach, my passion is helping others feel empowered, less stressed, and in control of their money. You don’t have to stay stuck. You don’t have to keep guessing. I can help you create a personalized financial plan that works for your life—one that brings clarity, confidence, and excitement for your future. Because when you have a plan, everything changes.
