Toronto-Based, Globally-Minded Financial Coaching for Women
Over my 15 years working in Toronto’s
Over my 15 years working in Toronto’s financial district as a financial coach for women – and expanding my expertise across the U.S., Singapore, and Hong Kong, – I’ve witnessed a striking pattern among career women in major financial centers.
These are confident, accomplished professionals who lead teams and roll up their sleeves to get work done—and yet when it comes to their personal finances, that confidence evaporates.
The financial insecurity I have observed in Toronto’s high-achieving women through my recent work extends its impact to more than investment losses and delayed retirement goals. Through Toronto financial coaching for women, I’ve helped these brilliant, capable individuals overcome the lack of financial conviction that holds them back from promotions and leadership positions. The team members generate creative concepts yet face difficulties when attempting to create financial models and business justification documents from these ideas.
The financial discussions about these accomplished women become more difficult because they need to show their financial expertise at all times. The cost was enormous: personal financial stress, career stagnation, and imposter syndrome in leadership roles.
What most women miss is that the disconnect has less to do with intelligence or capability, and everything about having financial knowledge and actually implementing it with confidence.
And when this gap exists in your personal finances, it inevitably shows up in your professional life too. How can you confidently present budget proposals, evaluate investment opportunities for your company, or lead strategic financial discussions when you’re uncertain about your own financial decisions?
Personal financial confidence is the foundation for professional financial credibility.
The Mental Roadblocks Keeping Successful Women Stuck
The most successful women I coach often share similar stories: they’re confident leaders at work but feel uncertain about their financial decisions. They’ve achieved career milestones yet worry they’re not doing enough with their savings.
This is a result of centuries of conditioning.
For generations, women have received subtle and not-so-subtle messages that money management is complicated, risky, or “not their strength.” The current social standards function to maintain women in a state of economic dependence which leaves them exposed to various risks. Even today, despite our professional success, these unconscious beliefs can sabotage our financial confidence.
I help you identify and remove these mental obstacles through my work as a financial education professional and coach for women. You will identify the emotional triggers that cause financial paralysis, understand how past experiences shape current money decisions, and develop new neural pathways and strategies around wealth building. This psychological foundation is essential because all the financial knowledge in the world won’t help if you’re unconsciously working against yourself.
A lot of my clients come to me thinking they’re doing the right thing by playing it safe with their money — but they soon realize they’ve been on financial defense when they should be playing offense. They’re saving heavily in low-interest accounts because investing feels “too risky,” and they often avoid conversations about ROI or career growth because they don’t fully trust their financial judgment. That’s where financial coaching for women — particularly in Toronto — makes a real difference. It helps shift both mindset and strategy.
The cost compounds over time, affecting both their bank accounts and their career trajectories.
What Financial Advice Alone Cannot Address
Financial advice tells you what to do—coaching helps you actually do it. Traditional financial planning focuses on strategies, products, and numbers, but it doesn’t address the psychological and emotional barriers that prevent successful implementation. This is why so many smart, capable women know they should be investing more, saving differently, or taking specific financial actions, yet somehow never follow through consistently.
Financial coaching bridges this critical gap. Through coaching, we don’t just discuss financial concepts, we bring in behavioural economics so you understand why certain strategies feel overwhelming, what past experiences are influencing current decisions, and how to build the confidence needed to take meaningful action.
I integrate financial education directly into the coaching process, teaching concepts through a mentoring approach that amplifies your chances of success.
This is why I don’t coach without education, and why education without coaching often fails. Knowledge alone isn’t enough—you need the psychological foundation to implement that knowledge effectively. When you combine financial expertise with coaching methodology, transformation becomes not just possible, but inevitable.
“Strictly Money Collective” for Career Women: Where Coaching and Education Unite
Our Strictly Money Collective membership is built on the understanding that coaching and financial education are inseparable. Coaching is an integral part of every aspect of the program—from how we introduce new concepts to how we work through implementation challenges. It’s coaching as the foundation that makes everything else work.
Through the membership, you gain access to my proven 360 Financial Freedom Framework™, but you’re not learning it in a silo. Every financial concept is taught through a coaching lens, with ongoing support to address the mindset shifts, behavioural blocks, and confidence building needed to turn knowledge into action. Whether we’re discussing investment strategies or debt elimination techniques, coaching is woven throughout the process.
This integrated approach is what my 25+ years in finance and global perspective have taught me works. We don’t just build financial strategies—we build the confidence, skills, and mindset that create lasting wealth and peace of mind. And this transformation creates ripple effects that extend far beyond their personal portfolios. As they develop unshakeable financial confidence, they show up differently in salary and vendor negotiations, present business cases with authority, and pursue leadership opportunities they previously thought were beyond their reach.
Through the Strictly Money membership, you also gain access to a carefully vetted network of smart experts—from negotiation specialists to leadership gurus to business strategists—who understand the unique challenges successful women face. Our mission is to make you unstoppable in every area of your life.
The women in our community often tell me that the confidence they’ve gained with their personal finances has transformed how others perceive them professionally. When you truly understand money—how it works, how to make risk and reward decisions—that confidence becomes unmistakable. In a world where men are still (and naively) given the benefit of the doubt in financial discussions, this unshakeable financial confidence becomes your competitive advantage.

Strategic Investment Approaches for Canadian Women
For Canadian women, getting smart with investing often starts by making the most of tax-friendly accounts. Your RRSP is great because it gives you immediate tax breaks while helping you save for retirement—making it a solid tool for the long haul. TFSAs are super flexible, too, letting your money grow tax-free whether you’re saving for something soon or way down the road.
If you have kids, RESPs are definitely worth thinking about. They come with government grants and let your money grow tax-deferred, so you can build a nice fund for your child’s education over time when managed right.
The solution needs to develop an investment strategy which recognizes the various financial circumstances that women usually encounter. The goal is to develop adaptable investment methods which respond to real-life situations including maternity leave periods and eldercare responsibilities and household management and wealth accumulation. Women who wish to invest wisely need to create career transition plans and investment timetables which unite their financial goals with their family care responsibilities.
Risk management takes on particular importance for women investors. Research indicates that women encounter criticism for being too cautious but they demonstrate superior performance in risk assessment activities. In other words, they’re “risk aware”. The ability to think ahead can be used to create investment portfolios that combine growth opportunities with stability through dollar-cost averaging and systematic investing for steady wealth accumulation.
Building Wealth While Building Careers
Women who get comfortable with investing and building wealth in the U.S. and Canada tend to be more confident negotiating their salaries, are more likely to step into leadership roles, and often take the leap into entrepreneurship.

That’s exactly what our Strictly Money membership is all about—giving women the financial know-how and tools to succeed both personally and professionally.
