“My mission is to provide a safe and confidential environment for you to learn how to relate to money without feeling shame or guilt. Together you'll learn to refocus, gain control and create a plan in order to achieve your financial goals.”
I am passionate about my clients, and I understand that their decisions with money impact not only their lives, but also impacts the lives of their children and their future. Often our decision making can be overwhelming and even confusing. Whether it is buying a home, paying for college, career changes, life situation changes such as a birth, divorce, death or other losses - they can all impact your money decisions each and everyday!!
Clients often say:
"I never learned this in school."
"I make good money, but have squat to show for it."
“I have no savings, if something happens to me, I'm screwed!”
“Our credit card is maxed out and that scares the hell out of me!”
“Where does my money go?”
"My life is a financial disaster ..."
These statements are the reason why I strive to help my clients make wise money decisions by learning how they really relate to their money.
I guide them to: Reset, Gain Control, and Create an Achievable Plan.

About Me
As a single mother, I probably faced many of the same struggles you are facing. I divorced when my children were 4 and 6 years old. For a short time, we lived with my mother and just two years later, I was able to purchase a home of my own.
Like many of you, I lived paycheck to paycheck. Sometimes I would send the electric bill to the cab

Like many of you, I lived paycheck to paycheck. Sometimes I would send the electric bill to the cable company just to buy me some time.
(Does this sound familiar?)
After twelve years I remarried, and just ten weeks later I lost my husband to lung cancer. It was so surreal and heartbreaking. I felt crushed and beaten down and alone.
I watched every penny I spent and lived way below my means. I worked hard and saved harder. I put my son through college and helped my daughter to have the wedding of her dreams. I hated owing anyone money and whatever extra money I made went straight to my mortgage. It was a wonderful feeling to pay that stupid thing off! I rolled around in the grass celebrating this accomplishment!
Now, I am happily married and enjoy traveling with my husband, spending time with our friends and family, and of course spoiling our grandchildren.
I really enjoy my life and helping others to succeed and gain confidence in handling their money. I love watching my clients gain control of their financial lives.
OUR personal story update - March 23, 2023
In September 2022, our lives were turned upside down by a cancer diagnosis.
"It's not the reason you want to get out of debt or be financially secure - but if it happens it does alleviate the financial stress."
Think about how ready you would be with an emergency situation. Could you afford a leave of absence?
Please keep us in your prayers through this battle with cancer ~ Karen & Toby

About making money behave and coach karen
Experience and Training
I am a proud member of the Northeastern Connecticut Chamber of Commerce, and a graduate and active member of Coach Connections LLC and the Accountable Network. I am also a graduate of the Ramsey+ Financial Coach Master Training Program. I have led 19 classes of Financial Peace University, where the participants paid off over $359,994 in debt and cut up 92 credit cards. I continue to work one on one with many of these families.
My goal is to guide each of my clients to achieve financial success for themselves. Whether they are paying down their debt, paying off their student loans, crushing their mortgage, or funding their retirement with everything they can. When you have a clear plan in front of you, you will accomplish so much more.
Frequently Asked Questions
Please contact me if you cannot find an answer to your question.
Money/Financial Coaches – Teach/Look at YOUR own money behaviors and how you interact and behave with your money, how to save, and have the money to be able to work with an investor. (That's Me!)
Financial Advisors – Look at the behavior of money and how to invest it and manage a financial portfolio (ex: Edward Jones, Fidelity, etc.)
I work with individuals and families like you, helping you to understand your own behavior and interactions with money. Once we have an idea of how you are currently handling money, we then refocus, gain control, and create a workable plan tailored to 'YOUR' situation. No two families are identical and we focus on what is important in YOUR situation.
I will answer your questions about the coaching process, provide clarification on how the process will get you moving towards success, I provide you the chance to share your situation to see if coaching is right for you, and you'll have the opportunity to meet me via a zoom video call to learn more about my coaching style. You may even leave with a tip or two!
What you will NOT experience is a high pressure sales pitch or the feeling that you are being judged.
Although I mostly work with professionals, I also work with singles, married and engaged couples, and college students too!
You may not realize it but your supervisor at work often benefits from financial coaching; they may earn more, but they may be broke at a different level and not know how to make their money behave.
Send me an email and tell me more about your financial goals and needs. I look forward to hearing from YOU!
