My first job out of college and I was making $33K in the DC area (!), had managed to amass $55K in debt, and felt like I was drowning. I hadn't grown up with great examples of money management and watched people around never save, declare bankruptcy, and constantly fret about money. Forget financial literacy - there was too much shame and cultural baggage around the topic of money for me to have learned anything useful. In stepped Shazia, who may as well have been wearing a cape - because she saved the day, and probably my life as a result of what she gave me. It wasn't just clear guidance on how to create a plan to pay off debt (it wasn't easy but it worked and I was debt free in two years!). It wasn't helping me set up a spending spreadsheet which, yes, decades later, I still use. Rather, it was the gift of power and confidence around money that had the greatest impact on me. I learned from Shazia that I didn't have to be a "victim" of money, but rather that I could control it to make it work for me. My life today is a far cry from the scared woman drowning in debt: I own two properties (one paid off), have investments for retirement, pay my bills every month never paying a penny in interest, and travel whenever I want. What's even better than all those things is today I feel empowered about finances and money, and can give my own children something I didn't have: a positive example and financial tools and literacy, all thanks to her coaching.

Before I started coaching with Shazia, I was scared of my finances. I paid as little attention as possible to the money I had in the bank and I was always afraid there was never enough. I was also in considerable debt and had no investment accounts to speak of. I felt ashamed and embarrassed. My situation was not because I was negligent. It was because I grew up without much and I was never taught anything about money. Within just 1 year working with Shazia, I had shifted everything. I have substantial money in investments, I am almost debt free and I am ready to buy my first house! Of course, this isn’t about the money. It is about the energy behind it. Shazia supported me with understanding that it was important for me to have a relationship with my money and to give it a job! Money is a precious energetic gift that can be used for incredible purpose. I am beyond grateful for my time working with Shazia, her coaching was invaluable! I’d recommend Shazia's program to anyone who is ready to shift their relationship to money and themselves. Not only do I feel empowered and excited about my finances now, I also feel more joy and abundance than ever! Thank you dear Shazia! You changed my life forever!

I had this assumption that I couldn't afford to work with someone to help me with my wealth building and mindset. After working with Shazia, I realized how could I NOT afford this? I needed help. I felt like money was always pouring out and I could never get ahead on some goals I had. I realized first things first - I needed to work on my mindset. Add that to some great logistical guidance and before I knew it I was passing my goals and setting new ones. In the time we worked together, I tripled my income (yes, you read that right!), raised my credit score 50 points, paid off about $60,000 in debt, started several savings/retirement accounts, automated much of my finances so I didn't have to spend so much time thinking about it all each month, and best of all - I stayed open to the many miracles that just kept showing up after I made the decision to invest in myself at this level - like my $75,000 worth of student loans that were magically forgiven. So if you are on the fence about getting support with your money mindset and living your dreamiest wealthy AF life, then get off the fence and sign up with Shazia. It'll change your life forever.
