Who is Ascend Financial Freedom?

Hi, I'm Jacquie, the owner and operator of Ascend Financial Freedom. As a Finance Broker, I geek out over numbers and love seeing my clients achieve their financial goals. I hold diplomas in Mortgage Broking, Financial Planning, Coaching, Hypnotherapy, and Neuro-Linguistic Programming.

Outside of work, I adore Italian and Japanese cuisine but won’t say no to a hangover kebab. I enjoy dancing for fitness, sipping sweet Moscato, and belting out karaoke tunes in the car, whether you want to hear me or not! I recharge my soul on grassy, tree-lined hills or in the embrace of my son.

My journey in the finance sector began in 2000, and ever since, I’ve
been passionate about making complex financial concepts accessible and
helping others take control of their finances. Through my Financial
Coaching services, I aim to help you sort out your grown-up finances
with ease.

However, my journey hasn’t been without its challenges. As a divorcee and domestic violence survivor, I understand the profound impact financial stress can have on individuals and families. This personal experience drives my commitment to assisting clients in achieving financial freedom and security.

With my extensive qualifications and personal experiences, I help clients
avoid common financial mistakes. I’m a straightforward person dedicated
to empowering women to conquer their confidence and live a kick-ass life
through my financial expertise and coaching.

What is financial literacy?

Welcome to the wacky world of financial literacy, where numbers come alive and money talks... well, kind
of. We're here to inject some humor and relatability into the oh-so-serious realm of finance. Buckle up,
because we're about to embark on a wild ride through the land of dollars and sense (see what we did there?!)!

Now,let's face it. Money can be a bit of a tricky beast. It slips through our fingers like a slippery eel, leaving us wondering where it all went.
But fear not! Our financial coaching is here to save the day, armed with knowledge, and a little wit.

We believe in making finance approachable, even for those of us who struggle with balancing the books
(guilty as charged!) we demystify the jargon-filled labyrinth of investments, budgets, and all that fun stuff.

Think of our financial coaching as your trusty sidekick, your financial superhero that fights off financial
fumbles and rescues you from the clutches of bad debt. We'll guide you through the ups and downs of the
financial roller coaster.

We take your financial well-being seriously. We'll equip you with practical tips and tricks to tame your
money monsters, and maybe even throw in a magic trick or two (abracadabra, debt disappears!).

So, grab a cup of coffee (or a latte if you're feeling fancy), cozy up in your favourite chair, and let our
financial coaching and support whisk you away on an inspiring adventure through the world of finance.

We promise you won't need a degree in economics to understand it all. We'll be your financial BFF, your go
-to guide, and your personal cheerleader as you navigate the wild and wonderful world of money.

Remember, when life throws financial lemons at you, grab some tequila and make margaritas.

Let our financial coaching be your go-to survival guide,
finance doesn't have to be boring. It can be a party. a weird, numbers-driven, but incredibly fun party. Cheers to that!
