Emma Newman

My first career in my 20s was as a Senior Transportation Planner working in local government. I enjoying being able to help my community develop sustainably while funding my personal goals and investing to become financially independent.

YNAB plays a central role in how I think about, engage with, and use my money to support myself to live the life I want to live and contribute to my community. My personal interests in life coaching and personal finance paired with my desire to support people led me to my career as a money coach in 2020.

I have personally used YNAB for over 11 years. In the last several years, I have used YNAB to manage both my personal as well as my sole proprietor business finances. More recently, I have been managing my aging parents' finances with YNAB too.

I'll meet you where you're at. I love supporting people to see what's most important and then use YNAB to support you to fund your goals and live your values. I've trained as a life coach and enjoy incorporating broader coaching skills and tools into our money coaching sessions.

Let's get you to your dreams!

I love helping people. Over the last handful of years, I have enjoyed transitioning from helping communities with long-range planning projects to instead working one-on-one with clients to learn skills and produce tangible results much more quickly.

It warms my heart when money coaching supports my clients to produce the results they didn't think were possible in their lives, their family and relationships, and the broader community.

When people are supported and empowered, dreams and things that were once considered impossibilities start to become real: travel, charitable giving, stronger marriages, babies, healthy money practices that break generational trauma cycles, etc.
