What happens when two of the OGs of financial coaching sit down for a chat about our industry? Magic! In this episode of the Money is Emotional podcast, I'm joined by Kelsa Dickey, the CEO of Fiscal Fitness Phoenix and founder of The Financial Coach Academy®. However, Kelsa isn't just a powerhouse coach with over a decade of experience, she's also a fitness enthusiast who loves to train in powerlifting as a hobby! (Double flex!)
Kelsa and I both know that other financial coaches are not our competition! There are countless people who need guidance with their personal and business finances. However, the financial coaching industry isn't standardized, which can make it a challenge for people to know who to trust for guidance.
Here's a summary of the gems we discuss in this episode:
Kelsa reveals how her family's struggles with money in her childhood shaped her behavior with money and her career path into financial coaching.
Because financial coaches have such a diversity of skills, training, and specialties, it can be hard to pick the right coach for you. Kelsa and I talked about the criteria that people should look for when hiring a financial coach.
Kelsa brings up a troubling trend she's seeing in the financial coaching space that she's concerned about, and wants people to steer clear of.
Nervous about reaching out to someone for help with your money? Kelsa speaks words of wisdom just for you!
Finally, Kelsa tells us what advice she would go back and give herself at the beginning of her financial coaching career. It wasn't what I expected her to say!
