Before we even got into the actual dollars, Pam spent a lot of time just getting to know us and finding out how each of us had dealt with money throughout our lives. She wanted to understand our experience so that she could give us advice that took our tolerance for risk and comfort with different ideas into account. She was VERY thorough in gathering all the information she needed, and continues to be very willing to answer the many questions that come up as we work through the process of making a financial plan for the future. The model she used to create a dashboard is very detailed and is giving us the information we need to make decisions. We could not be happier with the service she has provided and can happily recommend her!

My wife and I were looking for a second opinion on our financial plan a few months ago. Thankfully,…read morewe discovered Pam during our search. She is easy to work with, thoughtful, and very knowledgeable. Her initial approach is ideal and after hiring her to create our plan, we were pleased with her caring and detailed approached to gathering all the information needed to build our plan. She was able to walk my wife and I through our current and future goals ensuring our plan would meet our needs. We are so glad we got a second opinion, Pam was able to show us we were in a better financial position than we thought and was going to save us hundreds of thousands in taxes that we could use to improve the quality of our life style. The best part of the experience was when Pam was able to clearly show my wife that she could securely retire immediately. We had planned for her to retire this year, but she was anxious and unsure we were in a position for her to truly quit working. My wife has thoroughly enjoyed being retired this year focusing entirely on appreciating what life has to offer. Much appreciated Pam :)

Thanks to Garrett's support, instead of constantly trying to put out financial fires, I'm now on…read moretrack to be debt free this year, have an emergency fund, and more consistently align my finances towards my fiancée's and my values and goals. For context, I first found Garrett while searching online for a finance coach, and I resonated with his optimism and supportive tone on his website. I proceeded to have an initial call with him, and just like the tone on his website, Garrett was warm and friendly. He was attentive, curious, and professional, and he showed up with structured programs combined with a willingness to adjust and be flexible for my specific circumstances. He clearly had the training, experience, and skills, and I got the sense he walked the talk, invested a lot in himself, and put in the work to live authentically. I was eager to work with Garrett, but I still had my hesitations. I was on track to go deeper and deeper into debt. Did it really make sense to hire a finance coach and add on another expense in my life? At the end of the day, I had to conclude that I needed additional support. I tried reading books, getting support from friends and family, and making changes on my own, and I wasn't getting the results I needed. It's as if I had tried to heal a broken bone on my own and then realized I really needed to hire a doctor. I had to admit that I couldn't do this with my current approaches, and Garrett had been able to help many others before me. After discussing with my fiancée, Jasjeet, we hired Garrett to support us as a couple. I'm so glad we made that decision. Garrett continued to show up consistently with the aforementioned qualities, and after only 7 sessions, I experienced the following results. - Alignment with Jasjeet on our priorities and financial plan which includes being debt free this year and having an emergency fund - New tools for successfully talking about and getting aligned about finances with Jasjeet - A shift towards feeling more empowered and steady in my relationship with money Of course, Jasjeet and I also needed to put in the work to show up to the sessions and do the work in-between sessions. So much credit for our success goes to my fiancée. As our coach, Garrett helped guide us with a listening ear, honest perspective, tools, and strategies. Thanks again, Garrett, and I'm looking forward to continuing our work together!

While I have not yet chosen to work with Garret, our initial call was fantastic. He was extremely…read morepersonable and walked me through what working with him would look like in a very transparent and non-salesy way (this is coming from someone in sales). Garret took the time to understand my situation and then outlined our his services may help.

I could not recommend him enough solely based on our intro call.
