My journey toward financial wellness began after going through a divorce, which led me to file for bankruptcy. Not only did I have to rebuild for myself but also for my children’s future.

Over a decade ago, I embarked on a journey as a volunteer, teaching financial literacy to empower individuals with knowledge and tools to improve their financial circumstances. It was during this time that my passion for helping people navigate their financial challenges ignited and I began coaching.

Financial discussions can often be uncomfortable and accompanied by a sense of shame. However, I strive to create a safe and judgment-free space, allowing my clients to openly explore their financial concerns and aspirations. I firmly believe that by addressing our financial challenges head-on and embracing a growth mindset, we can overcome limitations and create a brighter financial future.

Adrian Hildebrand is an NFEC Certified Financial Education Instructor, podcaster, blogger, Financial Coach, and self-proclaimed money nerd with a passion for helping others realign their finances to live a fulfilled, rich life. Her and her husband, Kyle, reside in Columbus, Indiana with their two dogs, Milo and Marley. Her enthusiastic love of personal finance and serving others goes along with her principle that money talk does not require a degree, nor a high IQ; anyone can be successful at achieving success with the right tools.

Her faith-based principles, practical skills, and budgeting system allowed her to pay off over $20K in debt within two years’ time, even when her household income was just under $30K. By living off of 40% of their income, Adrian and Kyle see the miracle of giving and living below their means in action. From her own experience, she has developed a system to help others achieve their goals.

Her ideals show that the power of behavior can be transformed, habits changed, and mindset reconstructed in a way where financial healing will be a positive journey instead of a life full of “just getting by”. Using finances as a tool, her model is intertwined with intentional living, value-aligned spending, and Biblical stewardship. She enjoys teaching financial literacy to young adults and teens but also strives to provide free resources to anyone seeking changes to their financial situation. Her blog and podcast, Faith in Finance, reaches hundreds of people searching for a Biblical approach to heal broken financial situations, a little humor, and tangible tidbits leading to a rich life.

One of the main reasons I became a financial coach is because of my love of seeing clients’ faces light up when they accomplish their money goals! The biggest struggle that I see is the fear of facing your finances head on. Understanding each person’s individual story is a theory that I have used in all my financial coaching. Every person is different, and there is no one way to solve a financial journey.

After I graduated with my MBA in early 2014, I found myself with $70,000 in student loan debt. I felt like I had hit rock bottom with debt and my money. My anxiety was high for quite some time. Eventually, my now wife and I planned, and laid the hammer down. We knew something had to change.

I am extremely proud that in 2021, we paid off the rest of those loans.

Our money goals in the coming years are to take our ten-year anniversary trip, be debt free outside our mortgage in 2023, and live a fulfilled life without the stress of money.

My hopes are that through my financial experiences, I can pass my knowledge and guidance to others through coaching while having the mindset that each person has a different financial “why” story.

With a passion for personal finance and goal setting, I will be your guide as we create a plan, reduce your financial stress, and make your dreams a reality. Fourteen years ago after shoveling another round of snow and slush, I vowed that someday I would spend a winter in the Caribbean. Up until then, I was grateful to be able to afford an annual one week trip to somewhere warm where I indulged my love of snorkeling, photographing the reefs and wildlife, and doing my part for the environment.

Deciding to take this big leap required me to leave my good job and to commit, what I considered, a lot of money. There was no trust fund, no family money, no big paycheck, just a strong desire to do something I had only dreamed about. It required determination, a steady resolve, and supportive friends and family. But most of all, I needed to
get laser-focused on my financial life, reduce debt, and set up a spending and saving plan. Once I committed to these goals, my confidence grew. I was now operating from a place of knowledge and clarity. I had a plan and I worked it. I paid my house and car off, my savings were automated and my retirement plan was growing. Two years later I spent the winter in the Caribbean and the snorkeling was great.

I am a proud member of the AFCPE – Association of Financial Counseling and Planning Education – the organization that accredits financial counselors and coaches, and an AFC® – an accredited financial counselor – having met the “rigorous and comprehensive educational, examination, experiential and ethical requirements of the designation.” The course work included counseling, personal finance, retirement planning, and debt management. As an active member in networks of coaches and counselors, I keep up to date on best practices and tools.

I also have an extensive background in finance with a Bachelor’s degree in Business Administration. I have more than 25 years in the for-profit and not-for-profit sectors helping businesses navigate challenges and improve efficiencies and outcomes. Having worked closely with employees to understand and select benefits including medical, 401k, and more, it became clear that many would gain from personal financial coaching.

Melissa’s love of financial literacy was sparked while in an Economics class during her senior year of high school. This interest eventually led her to a career in helping others build savings and wealth through various types of financial assets.

Over the years however, early adult experiences helped Melissa learn that being responsible with money is only half of what is required to achieve long-term financial stability. She found that success and prosperity is also tied to the relationships and views we have about ourselves and money. When we realize it is our right and heritage to be prosperous in life, we can replace negative emotions and fears of lack with feelings of worthiness and plenty. This perspective will help us work to experience the more peaceful, abundant and successful lives we are meant to live.

Prosperous thinking has placed a deeper meaning on Melissa’s life and on the work she does with others. She has realized purpose in the challenges she’s faced and uses her experiences to be relatable and a resource for her clients. Knowing its importance, but unfortunate lack of awareness, she has also taken financial literacy and the power of prosperous thinking social through her YouTube and Instagram pages, @letsmakemoneymatter. Amongst other things, Melissa has experienced stress relief, weight-loss and more happiness as a result of being more deliberate about life and prosperity, and wants the same for others all around.

Melissa is still working one-on-one with clients. Her experiences with mutual and index funds, annuities, and different types of life insurance helps her provide the education people need to feel comfortable in participating in these types of investments. With a Series 65 license, Melissa is looking to provide independent, unbiased financial advice to eliminate the risks of conflicts of interest that can arise when advisors sell products for commissions.

When not working with clients or on social media, Melissa enjoys crafting, cooking and watching HGTV.

People often hire a fitness coach to help them lose weight and build muscle. I’m a coach, too, but I focus on fiscal fitness – helping people lose their money worries and build financial strength and wisdom. As your coach, I empower you to take responsibility for your financial decisions. Together, we begin the process by finding out where you are today, discussing your hopes, dreams, and most pressing concerns. As a team, we establish an action plan with achievable milestones. And I will be your accountability partner along the journey.

Major life changes have a way of helping you pinpoint what’s important in life. This happened to me when I went through a divorce and became involved in a support group with other individuals going through the same life experience. I soon realized I had a passion for helping people with their finances. I thought this is what I wanted to be when I grow up! It made so much sense, with my degree in Accounting and background in finance. Financial Coaching is the perfect intersection between my experience, my desire to serve others, and my goals and values.

In 2018, I completed the Dave Ramsey Financial Coach Master Training to learn how to best serve and inspire people who need help with their finances. Also, I studied locally at Fiscal Fitness Phoenix, completing its Financial Coach Academy program. Through my studies and training, I’ve learned the strategies and approaches that help people establish budgets, set savings and retirement goals, manage and pay down debt and more. It’s rewarding, fulfilling work, and I love what I do!

Serving The Woodlands and Houston Area & virtual clients nationwide Financial and Whole Wellness Educator & Life Transition Coach Valerie specializes in helping others achieve financial health inclusive of a livable budget, retirement, & getting back on track after a life transition. She has dedicated herself to helping others understand the importance and correlation between all three: healthy mind and spirit, physical health and financial health. She helps others create meaning in their own lives which results in the motivation to obtain the physique and energy they desire and achieve the career and monetary goals they once dreamed of. Before discussing money, she walks her clients through a journey of understanding their relationship with money and themselves that quite often is the cause of a repetitive “paycheck to paycheck” mentality.

She studied at University of Houston obtaining a bachelor’s degree in Economics with a minor in Business. She is an active licensed CPA in both Texas and Arizona. After an 18-year career helping large and mid-size corporations plan and achieve their financial goals, she turned her attention to individuals and entrepreneurs. She obtained her series 7 and 66 licenses (not active) so that she could transition into financial advising. Throughout her career, Valerie, like many of us, had to overcome common obstacles such as divorce, single motherhood, and funding her own education. She is now on a mission to help others to an all-encompassing healthy lifestyle inclusive of financial freedom. Personal Note: When she is not helping others achieve health in all aspects of their lives, she enjoys hiking, triathlon training, weightlifting, and roller skating. www.unlimitedpowher.com
