Most of us were never taught how to manage money. Not really. We figured it out as we went, picked up habits from our parents (good and bad), and somewhere along the way developed a relationship with money that we didn't entirely choose.
For a lot of women, that relationship is complicated. Anxious. Avoidant. Or just frustrating. They're earning well, working hard, and still feeling like something isn't adding up.
A financial coach (sometimes called a money coach) is not a financial advisor. And understanding the difference is the first step to knowing whether you need one. Financial coaching for women is one of the fastest growing areas of the coaching industry, and it's not hard to understand why.
A financial advisor manages your money. They help you make specific investment decisions, structure your retirement contributions, and minimise tax. They work with your actual assets and are regulated to do so.
A money (financial) coach works on your relationship with...well, money. Your patterns, your blocks, your beliefs, your goals. The psychology and behaviour layer that sits underneath the practical decisions.
Most people who struggle with money don't need more information. They need help understanding why they do what they do with money, and what would need to shift for them to feel genuinely in control.
"A financial advisor manages your money. A financial coach helps you understand your relationship with it. You might need both."
So much so, that it stops you from making standard day to day purchases.
The numbers coming in don't match how financially secure you feel, and you're not entirely sure how it happened.
Budgeting apps, spreadsheets, the envelope method. You start strong and fall off.
You've read the books. You know you should be investing. You know you should have an emergency fund. And yet, you struggle to put the plan into action. Money coaches help you dig into what might be blocking you.
Self-worth. Security. The way money was talked about (or wasn't) when you were growing up. These things shape how we earn, spend, save, and ask for more.
You want to build real wealth. You want to feel financially free. A financial coach helps you make the abstract concrete, building a path that's specific to your situation and your actual values rather than someone else's template.
You've been earning well for a few years. You've worked hard. And yet, your savings, investments, or net worth doesn't match what you thought you'd have by now. A money coach will look at your situation without judgement and help you create a plan you feel good about.
Most financial coaches work in sessions: weekly, bi-weekly, or as a one-off depending on what you need. You'll typically start by getting clear on where you are now, what your goals are, and what's been getting in the way.
From there, sessions are a mix of practical planning and working through the mindset piece - because the two can't really be separated. A good financial coach doesn't tell you what to do. They help you figure out what you actually want, and build a clear path to get there.
At Revie, financial coaches work across the full range: money mindset, financial independence, overcoming financial anxiety, building wealth, and navigating money in relationships. They've worked through their own complicated money stories, which means they understand yours.
One session won't fix everything. But it will give you clarity on what's actually going on, what's getting in the way, and what your next real step looks like.
The women who most need a financial coach are often the ones who feel most embarrassed to book one. Your coach has heard it all. There's no version of your financial situation that's surprising or shameful. That's exactly what the session is for.
