"I would highly recommend working with Justine on your personal finance! She is very helpful, supportive, tells it to you straight, and she genuinely cares about your success! She uplifts you and motivates you in your money mindset. She figures out ways to improve your finances and where you put your money and how. She answers any and all questions you have and never makes you feel like you’re asking a dumb question. All questions are welcome and can even be a way for you to come up with solutions."

LOVE NOTES FROM EMPOWERED CLIENTS

“I recently consulted with Justine to address my debt and budgeting challenges. I was struggling to create an effective debt repayment plan, but Justine guided me through two approaches to tackle my debt. Thanks to her assistance, I now feel more confident and organized in my budgeting efforts, and I have a solid plan in place to pay off my debt. Before this, I often felt anxious and unable to make progress on reducing my debt. Justine's advice and support have equipped me with the necessary details, plan, and confidence to achieve financial success."

“Before meeting with Justine I was lost, scared, and a little embarrassed about my finances. I knew I had debt (student loans, dental, credit card) but I was overwhelmed and didn't know where to start. I landed a new better paying job and didn't know how to manage my money. Since working with her, I have less worry and stress about finances. My relationship with money has improved and I'm more confident and financially literate. It was nice to have a non-judgmental & unbiased person to sort my finances with. I have more control over my money, I'm paying off debt, and most importantly I have a plan! I never would have gotten here without Justine and her uplifting and empowering demeanor. Thank you Justine!"

"Before our first session, I was living a life I could not afford. Justine really put things into perspective and helped me reevaluate my financial situation. Since working with Justine, a good portion of my debt has been paid off and I’m on track to be debt free. Since January, my credit score has gone up. After our sessions together, I feel more confident in my financial situation. I’m more conscious about where my money is going and how I’m spending it."

“Justine’s workshop was a game-changer for me! Not only did she provide invaluable financial guidance, but she also inspired me to take immediate action on my goals. Her expertise and energy are unmatched—she makes financial empowerment feel accessible and achievable. After attending, I felt a massive shift in my mindset, and I finally started tackling my tax debt with confidence. If you’re looking for someone who truly cares about helping people break free from financial burdens, Justine is the real deal! Freedom is on the other side, and she’s the person to help you get there!”

V.P.S

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

E.S

"I have benefited tremendously from the Ignite Your F.I.R.E program! I was able to learn along
with my students and even though I wish I could have learned this earlier in life it's still better
late than never. Thanks to this program I have now opened a high yield savings account with
Ally Bank, like Justine recommended. I have also opened an E-Trade brokerage account and
have invested in about 10 different ETFs like I learned to do thanks to this program.

Like I mentioned earlier, thanks to the Ignite Your F.I.R.E program I have opened a HYSA and a
brokerage account. If I continue to save and invest into these accounts monthly like I learned in
this financial literacy program then I am very confident that I will be much better financially set
for my future. I am looking forward to the results I will see 5 - 10 years in the future thanks to the
Ignite Your F.I.R.E program!

I ABSOLUTELY recommend this program to other high school students! I believe it is students
that come from impoverished backgrounds, like myself, that would benefit the most from this
information. Even at my adult age I do not personally know of many people who have the
financial literacy that I have now thanks to the Ignite Your F.I.R.E program! If more students who
grew up similar to me are exposed to this information at such an early age, then that can open
so many more opportunities for them to better themselves financially as they get older.
Hopefully, those students can spread the word in their communities to help ensure that we
support each other in creating better futures for ourselves

Thank you again Justine for educating us and helping us become financially set for our futures!"

Here are 5 reasons why taking your financial education into your own hands is a powerful act:  1️⃣ You learn at your own pace—without shame.  No pressure. No rush. Just you, your curiosity, and your commitment.  2️⃣ You begin to unlearn harmful money beliefs.  Most of us weren’t taught healthy financial habits—we were taught survival. Learning lets us rewrite that.  3️⃣ You get braver about asking for help.  The more you know, the more confident you feel in naming what you don’t. Self-education builds that bridge.  4️⃣ You reduce the risk of being financially manipulated.  Knowledge protects you—especially if you’ve ever had someone else control your money.  5️⃣ You start trusting yourself again.  Every page, podcast, or practice is a quiet reminder: You’re capable.  You don’t have to be perfect. You don’t have to know everything.  But you do have to believe that learning is worth your time.  And I promise—it is.  Stay empowered, Justine ❤️
We all carry our money stories and internal narratives around money—some handed to us by others, some shaped by our experiences.  But here’s something I want you to know:  Just because a story has been said, doesn’t make it true and permanent.  You see—we have the ability to change our narratives and stories.  You can decide what to claim as truth and what actions to take to rewrite a story that you believe.  When we rewrite our money stories, we reclaim our power. We reclaim ownership.  We are in the driver’s seat of our lives, Fam!  If you’re looking to rewrite your money story and want guidance and accountability, I GOTCHU!  I’m taking new clients in June! DM me if you’d like to save your spot.  Stay empowered, Justine ��
I said what I said.  Your money story is NOT PERMANENT!  Just like how you may have learned about money one way, you can UNLEARN old habits and learn new ones ����  So start rewriting your money story today by doing this one action:  TURN YOUR NEGATIVE BELIEFS INTO POSITIVE ONES.  “I’m not good with money” ➡️ “I’m learning about money one step at a time”  “I’m bad at managing money” ➡️ “I can trust myself with money”  Before we start making changes with our money, we start with making changes with our money mindset �� ��  Ready to rewrite your story and build the confidence to make healthy money decisions for yourself?  Let’s work together!  DM me “TRANSFORM” to take advantage of my 1:1 trauma-informed coaching packages! Everything is 37% off until July 27!  Rooting for you always ��  Stay empowered, Justine ����
Fam—financial confidence isn’t about having it all together…  …it’s about trusting yourself to make healthy money moves, even when they’re small.  We are often told that we are bad with money.  And when we hear that over and over over again, we start to believe it.  And it becomes our internal narrative.  Part of building financial confidence starts with unlearning this limiting belief then telling yourself “I trust myself with money.”  You’re not bad at money, fam.  I’m here to tell you that you are more than capable to learn about money.  So let me ask you—are you ready to take that first step towards building financial confidence?  If yes, share below what’s ONE financial decision you made recently that you are proud of ����  You got this!  Stay empowered, Justine ��
There are VERY SNEAKY ways someone can mask financial abuse.  One way—through gaslighting phrases  Gaslighting is a common tactic used by abusers to MANIPULATE and CONTROL their victims, especially in financial abuse situations.  Here are 5 common phrases to look out for:  ➡️ I just want what’s best for you  When someone uses this phrase, they’re implying that they know better than you do about what you need or want  ➡️ Why do you need your own account? Are you planning to leave me?  This phrase discourages financial independence and creates guilt.  ➡️ If you love me, you’d trust me with the finances.  This phrase manipulates your emotions and reinforces their control over you.  ➡️ You don’t need to worry about the bills. I’ve got it covered.  This phrase keeps you isolated from being involved in the finances.  ➡️ Don’t tell anyone about our finances. They wouldn’t understand.  This phrase isolates you from outside support or advice from friends, family, and professional organizations.  As you can see gaslighting is a powerful tactic, used to control and manipulate a financial situation.  These phrases are designed to make you doubt yourself, your capabilities, and your perception of the situation.  If you try to get involved in your finances but are constantly denied access to them, that is a deep red flag that should not be ignored.  If you are a DV survivor, who is ready to reclaim not just their financial autonomy, but also develop the confidence to advocate for yourself, the best way you can start is by investing in yourself.
