SF Money Coach - Palo Alto, California

My wife and I were on the fence about hiring a money coach - until we found Carrie two years ago. What a blessing.

As a couple we felt we were living beyond our means and our debt was unmanageable. Our finances were the nucleus of our stress together. Carrie has helped us with our financial communication hence we have noticed more clarity and intimacy in other areas of our relationship as well.

Really, everything has changed because of Carrie’s guidance with respect to attention and intention. We are on schedule to be completely debt free by the end of this year and our savings have also increased exponentially. We highly recommend Carrie. We only wish we had contacted her sooner.

Carrie has been so wonderful to work with! She is so caring, compassionate and understanding. I was having trouble setting financial boundaries in my personal life, while also trying to grow my business. Carrie helped me see the true impact of the choices I was making and allowed me to gently find my way. I am on the other side now and I have healthy boundaries with money and the people in my life and my business is booming! Having a safe space to work things out has made all the difference in the world.

Carrie, the fabulous founder of "SF Money Coach" is wonderful! I asked a friend for coach recommendations, and Carrie Friedberg was at the top from the start. She helps you create room for the things and experiences you love the most. My partner and I did a few sessions as a couple. We were, and are, struggling to simplify. I found working on my own, and as a couple with Carrie, she is always generous with helpful feedback. The initial results as a couple were positive. My partner wanted to re-engineer the application Carrie uses. That become a hurdle, so I chose to work solo. Throughout, Carrie brings empathy and humor, and is always responsive on email and phone follow-ups. Her billing and appointment reminders are fun, too! Individually with Carrie, I am defining what tools I need, how to ask for what I need, and moving ahead with a clear vision of why this is important for my family. The number one benefit for me is accountability and a North Star to help usher in abundance and joy. Thank you, Carrie!

I have been working with Carrie for a year. When we started our work together, I was hopeless in my ability to dig myself out of debt, build savings, and envision a life of financial abundance.

Throughout the past year, Carrie has helped me grow in so many ways, including learning the MoneyMinder tool, observing my spending patterns, identifying how to live within my means, and envisioning a financial life that brings in more means to support the lifestyle I want for myself. I was able to identify emotional triggers and templates that led to negative spending patterns and, through identifying them, manage them in healthier ways. And I even transitioned into a new job that created more opportunity for my financial growth as a result of her coaching!

I am so grateful for having had the chance to work with Carrie and am confident for the first time that I have the skills, ability and dedication now to build a healthy and sustainable financial future for myself. She has been a gift to me.

I'm so glad I took the chance and scheduled the consultation call. I was on the fence, and as soon as we started talking, and I learned how she works, I knew she was a great fit for me. Carrie has ushered me into become a first-time home-buyer, and continues to help catch me in my moments of despair. She always helps put my finances into perspective, and as she says, she "can make any numbers work!" She's also been a great bolster for talking about money with my husband, as a gentle nudger, holder of space, great listener, and always again with a greater perspective from her years of doing this work.

I've worked with Carrie twice now. Once when I was single then after my husband and I got engaged and merged our finances. Working with Carrie was wonderful and I am so grateful I had the opportunity to work with her.
