Creative Money Coaching

Never Worry About Money Again

Embracing Van Life On Less Than $1k/month

Business Owner, By

Tracy Jenkins had a very clear goal — she wanted to live off the grid and earn enough from her online coaching business so she could travel the country in a converted Sprinter van. After several sessions together, I asked Tracy to share more about her experience.

What stood out to you during our initial sessions together?
Financial counseling is not an easy topic for many to venture into (myself included) especially with a stranger. Claire however has such a genuineness about her that from the moment you sit down with her, you feel like you’re simply chatting with your best friend.  She comes to the table with so much excitement to help her clients gain success that she leaves no room for judgment. Claire is in a category of her own in comparison to any other counselor I have ever worked with.   
What were the main things you wanted to accomplish when it came to your finances?

I wanted to get my monthly spending down as low as possible, and raise the income from my online business by increasing my client base so that I could live on the road.

How have these sessions changed your relationship with money?
Claire helped me to understand that our financial health does not stand alone. One of my biggest takeaways from working with Claire was a deep understanding that as I improved and gained control over my finances, I gained control over many other areas of my life.  She pushed me to tap into my money story, helping me to connect the dots to other areas of my life and realize how important it is to look at things from a whole systems perspective. I’ve carried this new mindset with me since working with her and have seen amazing improvements throughout many areas of my life. 
Is there anything else you would like to add?

Claire is honestly one of the most engaging individuals I have ever had the opportunity to converse with. She is a wizard when it comes to financial organization and counseling, but she doesn’t stop there! Claire is amazing at creating space for you to speak about what’s important to you, she genuinely listens and her feedback is both thoughtful and practical. She digs deep and gets excited to really know you as her client.

Note: After working together, Tracy purchased and completely renovated a Sprinter van, grew her business exponentially through Instagram and traveled extensively. Today she is building a tiny house community and plans to rent it out on AirBnb as a side stream of income. With her low expenses and high savings rate, she is currently on track to be financially independent in just a few years.
