Money Talk: What Clients Have to Say

“Where do I begin? Daynel has helped me bring organization, hope, and relief to my finances which has poured into other aspects of my life. Working with her around budgeting has been an absolute blessing! I felt pressure lift off my shoulders after our first session together. I hadn't realized how much my finances were stressing me mentally and physically until working with Daynel. She's an excellent financial coach: Patient. Understanding. Meets you where you're at. Has a plan. Supportive. Listens to your personal financial goals. Informative. And shares the joy of breakthroughs with you! I plan to continue working with Daynel until I feel ON TRACK and ORGANIZED while reaching my goals one by one. The accountability aspect is a game changer for your finances. I highly recommend working with Daynel as a Financial Coach!”

“Beware of Daynel Brown, you will leave with more than just an understanding of your finances. My husband and I were not just coached but counseled. We learned each other's money mindsets, we learned how to communicate financially which helped us smash our financial goals and create new ones before the end of our 3-month program with Daynel. In just 3 months, we eliminated high interest debt and transferred our emergency savings into a high-yield savings account that will earn us 112% more in interest each year. My credit score increased, we learned where our money was going, and several more goals. But the most important thing we gained was becoming more comfortable discussing money with one other, which drew us closer in the process. Stronger in more ways than one after the process. Thank you Daynel!”

“I always thought that budgeting was about rules…don’t buy this, say no to that. So instead, I just got by – until I didn’t. And that’s when Daynel’s financial coaching program completely changed my life. She changed my perspective on how I can be a good steward of the money and resources given to me. She showed me that managing my money well is less about not letting myself do things and more about choosing which things I actually want to do, whether that's buying a coffee or buying a car. And she gave me the tools I needed to not only plan a budget but stick to it – and discover in the process that I have more money available to me when I’m using what I have in the right ways! I’d recommend Daynel’s program to anyone, from the person who feels pretty good about their finances but wants to see if they could be doing more to the person who is literally afraid to look at their bank accounts for fear of what won’t be there.”

“Financial Coaching with Daynel has been everything that I prayed for. In 2021 and 2022, I began to incur much unexpected medical debt. Also, in the spring of 2022, I moved from Seattle, WA, to Nashville, TN. As the medical debt continued, I felt any joy of life slipping away. It took another year and a half before I contacted Daynel. Honestly, before contacting her, I had contacted two other companies. Those other companies focused more on my investments than on helping me set up a budget and get out of debt. The first meeting with Daynel, I knew this was different from the others. I jumped into financial coaching with Daynel in the summer, and as we began to meet regularly, my mindset around money and finances changed. It was terrific; I was excited to work on a budget to track my spending. My perspective on spending was changing, and I was setting short- and long-term goals for my finances and my life. It felt great to think about furnishing my condo and planning for trips. We even set up a savings plan for me to host Thanksgiving at my place in 2024, and when life took another swing at me, we just moved those finances to take care of life. Even now, as we step into 2025, there is so much change in my life, including my finances. It is excellent to know I have an honest cheerleader in my corner, advising me on my financial decisions and even just holding space for the grief I’m walking through. This has been the best decision for my life.”

“Daynel helped these first-timers get a budget set up, implemented, and succeed! She is full of wisdom and knowledge about all things money, and able to share that with a gentle and calm spirit. She helped us to be peaceful about our money and with each other when discussing money. Highly recommend Daynel and her amazing Financial Coaching! Thank you, Daynel!”

“What a life-changing experience it has been learning to utilize investment techniques as a means to maximize our earnings. There's a lot of information, but Daynel was very organized and detailed. She was able to present the info in a way that was completely palatable to new investors like ourselves! The trajectory of our family's financial future is forever changed. Thank you, Daynel!”

“Money is such a vulnerable topic that is difficult to discuss. This is why I was so grateful to find someone like Daynel to talk to about it. Her genuine care and concern about my success with money made it comfortable for me to share my goals and my setbacks. She lives what she teaches and has been an inspiration to me and my family. Her simple tips and tools were easy to follow and have helped me tremendously. This is not just a help for me today but for future generations. Thank you, Daynel!”

“I highly recommend this service as it has changed my outlook on money management forever. Daynel is an absolute gem and gives a holistic, 360 approach to financial coaching. It was very hard for me to save money but with Daynel's wealth of knowledge and creative saving ideas, I was able to see the light and felt supported throughout the process. When it comes to getting help with budgeting, saving, and debt management, she is definitely the woman for the job! She is passionate about helping others, which helped me stay on track. My only regret is not hiring her sooner!”

“Daynel’s coaching has provided much needed consistency, accountability, and relief. Thanks to Daynel, I now have a plan and a system for my money each month. It gives me assurance that I won't overspend, which really takes the pressure off. Now, I can truly enjoy spending my money.”

“My husband and I are all set for retirement but wanted to find a way to enjoy our money now. We also wanted to grow our money to gift to our children as they get older. Daynel's one-on-one program was the perfect step by step way to understand how money works in this day and age. Everything is changing so fast in this world, especially post-pandemic, and we didn't want our money to fall between the cracks. Now we can get the most for our money now, later, and enjoy being there financially for our kids.”

“Daynel was super helpful with tips to save money. She broke down my expenses with me. She took her time to explain everything and made sure I understood everything. Daynel went out of her way to create a list of recommendations for how I can save money on my expenses in ways that would fit my life and lifestyle. She's amazing!”

“Daynel helped me to see the positive side of my finances when they felt hopeless and to set goals that were realistic and attainable! And I saved so much money just by taking a closer look at where my money was going! I am so grateful to her!”
