Because money management doesn’t have to be boring and building your dream life shouldn’t feel out of reach.
What is Financial Confidence?!
It's being able to sleep at night because you know you are not blowing your budget.
It's understanding everything that is going on in your financial life and feeling prepared.
It's knowing your "why" - from the purchases you make to why you get up every morning and go to work.
It's defining what your best life means FOR YOU and then knowing what to do to make it a reality.

Meet Marika,
The Financial Confidence Coach
Welcome to my world at The Financial Confidence Coach.
I’m a Certified Life Coach, Accredited Financial Counsellor Canada® (AFCC®), and host of the Keys to Financial Confidence Podcast. I currently live in Canada with my husband, our two teenage daughters, and our lively Havanese dogs.
Before all of this, I was a hairstylist. I worked in salons around the world, listening to people share their stories—dreams, struggles, relationships, and more often than not... money. It didn’t take long to realize that finances were a major source of stress for so many people, no matter how successful or capable they seemed.
That’s where my curiosity began.
I grew up with a positive money mindset and a strong I can attitude—something I later realized wasn’t so common.
While most young adults were focused on trends, school, or just getting by, I was reading money management books and learning how to make my money work. I started taking financial risks early—some paid off, some didn’t—but every experience taught me something. That curiosity turned into a lifelong obsession with building confidence and clarity around money.
When I left the salon industry, I knew I didn’t want to become a financial advisor. I didn’t want to sell products or push people into plans that didn’t feel right for them. I wanted to help people build financial confidence from the inside out.
So I became a life coach. Then a financial counsellor. And now, I’ve built this platform to offer tools, resources, and support that help real people manage money in a way that works for them.
Because everyone deserves the options and opportunities money can provide.
Feeling frustrated that you're not where you thought you'd be by now?
Let's connect and start changing your financial future together.
