Kara Monroe

She/Her/Hers

I want to help you promote financial wellness. Using YNAB as a tool, we'll help you find ways to alleviate money anxiety, develop financial habits that bring you joy, and get on a path to a life filled with joy.

My Background

After spending 25 years in the traditional workforce, I wanted to pursue a life that better aligned with my values. I launched Monarch Strategies LLC to gain more freedom and act with integrity every day. The journey to get here wasn't easy and this journey is still hard. Which means, I've learned a ton along the way about using my wealth to create the life I want. And, I keep learning every day.

Why Work with Me

I've failed at YNAB and I keep coming back. That might be a weird thing to say about why you should work with me, but the truth is it defines why you should work with me. I want to find what works for YOU! Rather than pushing my way onto you, I'm going to dig in with you and figure out what works best for you. And, because I've failed so many times, I know lots of different ways to try to make things work.

Why I Coach

I love helping people grow in areas they want to grow in. I love digging into how I can make myself do the things I really want to do - even when they are incredibly hard. I'm constantly experimenting on myself (mesearch instead of research) to find out how I work best. I fail at a lot of those experiments because they don't work for me - but along the way I learn tons of things that might work for others. And all I want to do is help you learn more quickly what will work for you and how to grow.
