Before meeting with Carey and Andrea, we were paying our bills on time, but we weren’t prepared for emergencies or future expenses like vacations, home repairs, or unexpected costs. Financial conversations between us were often tense and something we dreaded.
During our sessions, Carey and Andrea were incredibly patient, knowledgeable, and affirming. They created a safe space for us to learn and grow and were always kind, understanding, and responsive to our questions between sessions. As we’ve learned how to live with a plan—aligned with our goals and within our means—our conversations have become easier and far less stressful.
We’ve started to see that we actually have more money available to be generous and to help others, which feels deeply consistent with our Christian faith and our personal values. As self-employed individuals, we’re now able to rest without the constant pressure or fear of how taking time off might impact us. We no longer carry a lingering, elusive anxiety but rather clearly understand how much we need to earn and work to meet our goals. For the first time, we feel confident that we can care well for ourselves and even begin planning for the things we enjoy. ~ married 31 years
