Finances for Feminists - Watertown, Massachusetts

Julia Sullivan

Ariel is truly the best! She helped me so much and made me feel completely at ease. I was able to discuss my finances openly without any shame or embarrassment. Ariel is incredibly smart, knowledgeable, and professional, and her 1:1 approach is commendable. She genuinely wants you to succeed, and it shows in everything she does. Her business is unique because of how personable she is—she truly cares. I would highly recommend her to anyone!

I had a great experience working with Ariel. She not only helped me to understand how to manage my money, she helped me manage my emotions and relationship with my money and finances. Her non-judgmental approach and empathy helped me share my uncomfortable feelings about my finances and allowed me to understand my spending behaviors. I would highly recommend Ariel!

I worked with Ariel for 9 weeks on her Finance Fundamentals coaching package. The experience transformed my relationship to money, spending, investing, and debt. Ariel teaches a very reasonable budgeting model that helps me keep track of my money without feeling overly constricted. She worked with me to develop a plan to tackle existing debt and to begin saving alongside. Most importantly, Ariel is compassionate and offers advice and knowledge without judgment. I recommend her as a coach to anyone, but especially those who identify as feminists.

I found Ariel during a time where every aspect of my life suffered because of my finances. I knew I wanted to be in the driver’s seat when achieving my financial goals, but had no idea how to get there. Ariel’s approach is practical, realistic, and achievable. One of the most helpful aspects of the 9-week program was creating a financial plan tailored to me and incorporated the ability to spend on nonessentials in a way that still allows me to achieve my goals. Ariel’s patience is unmatched. Throughout our sessions, I uncovered some financial trauma which she took into consideration as we worked towards a plan. 100% worth the investment. I’m amazed with where my financial health is at today and I truly don’t think I could have gotten here without Ariel’s help.

Working with Ariel to better understand the basics of finances/investing and, most importantly, make it tailored to my own current situation (which is complicated!) felt like one of the most life-changing things I have done for my financial wellbeing. Ariel is kind, knowledgeable, and patient--all really important for what can be an overwhelming topic! I cannot recommend her program enough for women looking to take charge of their finances and relationship with money.

I just completed the 9-week Finance Fundamentals course with Ariel and am so grateful for her thoughtful and empowering approach. Prior to working with her, I felt like my finances were managing me versus vice versa, but Ariel helped me understand the root causes of my money worries and build short and long term paths forward in multiple areas: budgeting, building savings goals, and retirement. As a result of my work with Ariel, I now have a personalized financial action plan and I feel self-aware and confident to navigate my finances moving forward.

Ariel's "Finances for Feminists" program has been absolutely transformative for me. Initially a financial novice, our nine sessions together have provided clarity on my current financial state, outlined actionable steps for maintaining financial stability, and clear guidance about how to maximize my long-term financial potential.

What truly sets Ariel apart is her compassionate and encouraging approach, which transcends mere financial advice. She delved into the emotional underpinnings of my relationship with money, fostering a deeper understanding of my financial values and goals. This newfound clarity empowered me to align my financial values and behavior, engage in authentic conversations with my partner about our financial future and retirement, and budget realistically without shame.

Ariel's organized sessions, engaging demeanor, and accessible methods have made this journey not only educational but liberating. At the end of her program, I am left feeling empowered to navigate the complexities of managing my finances with confidence.
