GLOWING REVIEWS
“Taking a close look at my financial situation was a daunting task.
For the past few years, I'd been in a self-imposed 'money fog,' choosing to ignore my financial situation and coast along with eyes closed and fingers crossed. Eventually, I realized I was spending haphazardly and barely saving - I started to get a knot in my stomach every time someone spoke of retirement. With no idea of where to begin or what questions to ask, I needed someone to help me prioritize my money based on my values.
As all good muses do, Stephanie seemed to materialize out of thin air, just when I was truly ready to do the work. She helped me get a clear snapshot of my finances by asking thoughtful questions and listening for my values. She provided sound money advice & techniques in language I could understand, giving me ownership of my progress and process. Not only have I achieved some of my money goals in a short amount of time, I feel that Stephanie is helping me build a life-long foundation for more effective money management.”

“Stephanie, I want to genuinely thank you for your guidance! I hope you know that this isn't only helping me, but I will be passing along my learnings to my sisters and future generations!”

“I’ve worked nearly all of my adult life as an independent contractor or for small businesses that don’t offer any benefits, so I never really knew what to do with my money, and I honestly questioned how I would ever be able to retire. But that all changed with just a couple of short sessions with Steph the Money Muse!
After attending a workshop with Steph about Women and Money, I immediately opened up a savings account for my emergency fund and an IRA. During my private financial coaching session with Steph, she helped me figure out how to best utilize my IRA (and max it out!), and how much I should be saving each month. She’s also planted little seeds in my head that encourage me to cut down on unnecessary spending, and my bank account is so appreciative!
I am so incredibly grateful for Steph’s vast knowledge, but even more for her gentle and approachable demeanor when dealing with a topic that can be sensitive and a bit scary. I trust that I am in good hands with Steph, and will 100% be using her expertise in the future!”
—CARLY G, SEATTLE, WA
“Stephanie’s workshop, “Women & Money,” was a real eye opener!
I had no idea how financial fees affected my long term goals and wealth. Stephanie patiently and enthusiastically explained how to invest, when to start, how to create passive income, and the choices we could make using the funds we have now. She encouraged us to define what money meant to us (in my case, freedom to work when I wanted) and taught us how to align our investment strategy with our values and vision. Our group of female soon-to-be-investors left feeling in charge of our retirements, home ownership plans, and personal goals.
An empowering teacher and consultant, Stephanie is highly recommended.”

“Stephanie presented during our program’s 2020 Financial Literacy Workshop and everybody that attended was blown away by her presentation!
Many of our students come from low-income backgrounds and are first-generation college students so this presentation really explained the importance of investing strategically to create long-term security.
Stephanie explained how even college students can start investing for their futures while still enjoying life today. We received so much positive feedback about the information that she shared and many of the program’s alumni are asking when she will be back to present again! Thank you so much for sharing your story, Stephanie, and helping us break down social barriers for young women!”
—SENAIT H, SEATTLE, WA
“My primary goal when I launched my business was to do the work I love and pay the bills. Saving for retirement was on hold, but knew I needed a plan.
Stephanie helped me analyze my budget to plan for emergency and long term saving, invest in a target date retirement fund, and max out my Roth IRA - all in one session!
If you are ready to feel empowered and confident with your finances, call Stephanie now!”
—RACHEL C, SEATTLE, WA
“I recently visited Steph’s talk and workshop on Investing in Yourself, and I loved both events!
Steph makes talking about wealth and investing fun, even for those who are a little afraid of dealing with the topic in the first place (me) or those who think talking about money is boring (me again). She has a wealth of knowledge to share, and does so in such an open, relatable, and entertaining way that an hour passes by much too quickly.
I am excited to learn more from her in the future - booking a private consultation with Steph to go over my finances is definitely on my to-do list for the year!”
—MICHA, SEATTLE, WA
“As a college student who knew nothing about investing or personal finance, I was always very anxious and unsure around the topic of money.
Stephanie’s “Investing 101” Webinar completely changed the way I view saving and investing. I signed up for a coaching session with Stephanie, and she walked me through setting up my very first Roth IRA account! I immediately felt more confident about taking control of my money and motivated to invest in my future.
Thanks to Stephanie, I’m lucky enough to be starting early, and I can’t wait to see how my money grows! Stephanie truly is a money muse, and I strongly recommend working with her - especially if you're new to personal finance.”
—RENAE K, SEATTLE, WA
“Stephanie Xenos is a woman who delivers on her promise. Believe me, she will change your money mindset!
I’ve attended a few of her workshops, and have an endless list of good things to say, but here are three things I really enjoy about Stephanie’s events.
First, she’s able to make a tedious subject fun - she's hilarious! Second, she displays honesty and vulnerability in each presentation and connects with her audience in a unique way. And finally, the information she shares is always crystal clear! Aside from feeling like I just had a great time, I’ve always left her workshops with concise facts that I can easily use in my everyday life.”

“I recently had the pleasure of attending Stephanie Xenos' presentation on FIRE (Financial Independence, Retire Early), and I must say it was a truly enjoyable and insightful experience Stephanie's ability to make a seemingly dry topic like money engaging and fun was remarkable. Stephanie's humor and charismatic presence grabbed my attention from the start. Her ability to bring humor into a financial discussion made the entire experience more relatable and enjoyable for everyone in the room. She simplified complex financial concepts, making them easily understandable for all. Her passion and enthusiasm for helping others achieve financial freedom were contagious. Overall, Stephanie's presentation was a fantastic blend of education and entertainment. I left the presentation feeling motivated, empowered, and armed with practical knowledge to embark on my own journey towards financial independence. Highly recommend Stephanie for anyone interested in FIRE.”
