Chelse Hounshell

She/Her

My mission is to help my clients create and implement a spending plan that prioritizes JOY and aligns with their life goals. Whether you're navigating a career transition, experiencing a major life events like marriage or divorce, or simply seeking to escape the paycheck-to-paycheck cycle, I'm here to support you.

My Background

I started budgeting in 2019 when I learned my job of 20+ years was being eliminated as part of a reduction in force. It became serious that we needed clarity around how to spend our money on what mattered most. In 2022,   I became a YNAB (You Need A Budget) Certified Coach to help others make budgeting a part of their life and make it easy.

Why Work with Me

If you are ready to make a change and are committed, available and coachable.  I will meet you where you are to help you create a spending plan for your money, without judgment of your life circumstances, financial decisions, or spending decisions. I will help you gain confidence and feel secure in managing your finances.

I will work with you to simplify your spending decisions, establishing daily habits and routines that lead to success, all without sacrificing the things you enjoy.

Why I Coach

I coach because I genuinely love helping people and teaching what I know. I coach because I've seen many folks beat themselves up over money, even those who earn well but still struggle paycheck to paycheck.  It's way more common than people think.  I've been through tough times with money and I get how stressful it can be.  YNAB changed everything for me and my family, making our finances feel manageable and freeing us to spend joyfully.  I want others to feel that same sense of relief and empowerment,.  I'm here to guide them through it, no judgement, just support.
