Client Love

When my partner and I began our work together I had been in credit card debt my entire adult life. It felt heavy and stressful because in so many ways I felt successful but always had a dirty little secret. I had essentially encouraged my partner to accrue debt, too, thinking it would eventually be paid off. When we argued, it was always about money and while I knew how to make money, I did not have a habit of saving or paying off debts. Our work with Katy was life-changing and marriage boosting. After just ten months of working with her, we're out of credit card debt ($20,000 paid off), have moved through COVID financially at ease, thanks to Katy's coaching around grants we qualified for, and have an emergency savings, where before there was none, of $13,000. I feel abundance daily, my partner has gotten back to his joy of squirreling money away and together we know our future is bright and we're having fun deciding where we'll vacation to once COVID is behind us!

Working with Katy has been a game changer for me. She has fully expanded my thinking around money in my career. From values to negotiating contracts to actually personally refinancing my home, it's really, really critical to work with somebody who understands the entertainment industry and how it ebbs and flows with our money works and circles back into our values. It's been pretty life changing working with her. I worked with her through the pandemic, and I've had the best year possible in my business and in my career ever, and I owe a lot of it to Katy.

Katy Chen Mazzara is a financial expert who will advise you to make wise and lucrative financial decisions. But unlike a financial advisor, who works just with your money, Katy works with your heart. With her empathy and intuition, she will guide you to explore your money mindset and to discard limiting beliefs that have stunted your ability to live in abundance. During a year of coaching from Katy, I advocated for and received a pay raise, put an entire year's salary in savings, paid off credit card debt and lowered my mortgage rate. With ample savings, I was able to leave a job I no longer found fulfilling and take time off to decide the next step on my journey. Katy literally transformed my life, and I highly recommend her to anyone looking for positive, life-long transformation.

I began my first session with Katy January of 2020- I had just switched over from my cool, “looks great on paper” job to freelancing. 2020 was going to be my year! And then Covid-19 rolled through and created turbulence in every industry including in productions and events- my two main sources of income. I worked with Katy still through it discussing, dissecting, and clarifying my relationship with money. And by our final session, not only was I back fully immersed in film production, I grew a new level of confidence on managing my relationship with money. I am fully out of my old ways of having a scarcity mindset to having an abundant mindset! Working on myself with Katy has opened up the flow of income to allow me to hit my highest day rate to date in 2020 and get in line to meet my money goal.

I’m so glad I decided to work with Katy. Not only did she help me see the role money plays in my life, she also helped me negotiate a $17,000 salary bump during a pandemic. My guilt and the likability trap kept telling me to cave in and take whatever I was being offered and Katy helped me stand my ground! I’m so glad she was there to help me negotiate my value and ask for what I was worth!

In general, I have such a fraught relationship with money (impulse spending, giving more than I had for myself, taking less than I’m worth, and feelings of guilt). After my first few sessions with Katy, I started to really see the relationship between my personal experiences/mindset and my wallet and I could feel myself start to let go of the anxiety I felt around saving and spending. For the first time, I’m seeing the relationship clearly and feeling more confident about tackling it in my every day life. I have still have work to do, but the path is now much clearer thanks to Katy helping me bring all these feelings into the light!

Thank you for everything dear, Katy! I’m so glad to have you in my corner!

Working with Katy is a must for anyone looking to get their finances in order. Not only does she help work through any limiting beliefs one may have about money, she also helps you figure out your values and goals and how to align with them. Katy also teaches you about how to practically use your money to your advantage. Everything that we weren't taught in school about investing or spending, Katy teaches. Before working with her, I was concerned about where my money was going, that I wasn't making enough; I was stressed and anxious. After working with Katy, I managed to double my income and not worry about "slow periods." Katy genuinely cares about her clients and loves to negotiate and will help you step into your power. Highly recommend, I will be going to her for all my future financial needs.

Working with Katy was the absolute best thing I did for myself in 2018 - and I had a big year of leaving my 9-5 to start my own company. But still, working with Katy takes the cake. I honestly went into financial coaching as a skeptic. I had done years of personal development work and felt my self worth was at an all time high, but for some reason I was still struggling with personal finances. I wasn't sure what financial coaching would do besides giving me some practical steps to take with my money, but boy were my expectations blown away. Not only did I almost double my income and draw in unbelievable professional opportunities in my time with Katy, but I felt a profound and final shift into truly understanding my worth, deep down in my bones. I worked through childhood memories I hadn't thought about in years, released old stories, got clear on my core values and what it truly means to take care of myself, and was amazed as that translated into transforming all areas of my life - from my home to my health to even being ready for another serious relationship. I cannot say enough about the transformative power of Katy's work. If you have any small inkling that this might be for you, don't hesitate. I know it will reap the rewards of this investment for the rest of my life!

"Working with Katy has helped me build immense confidence in myself and my finances. I have had a thriving business for several years, but I did not have a financial plan and didn't start saving for retirement until recently. Other than paying my bills, I didn't have a solid money plan. Katy's deep knowledge on all aspects of money has helped me holistically, from healing emotional money blocks to planning for fluctuating revenue to growing future wealth.

What I love about Katy is she is really generous with her knowledge and truly wants the best for her clients. She goes above and beyond. I mean, anyone thrives in that environment!"

I've learned more from Katy than I have ever learned from my education. She's very eye-opening, knowledgeable and patient. She taught me how to switch to high yield saving account and earning over 32% more than I was originally earning from my old savings account. She also taught me how to open my Roth and Simple IRA accounts, negotiate car deals and learned how to spend my money to invest in my future. Thank you, Katy! You're amazing and I couldn't do it without you. I will be coming back to you when I'm ready to buy a house! Book her, you won't regret it. She has endless knowledge and have all the answers to your questions. Thanks, again!

I more than doubled my income from the previous year. Even though I had booked a commercial before we met, Katy was a major influence on helping us to allow that financial flow to exist, and really guided us on how to spend that money.

Within minutes of talking to her I knew Katy was a perfect fit for us. She put us at ease immediately. I was drawn to Katy because of her approach. She combines the practical side of finances with the artistic side. As an actor this was very appealing to me.

I am forever grateful to her for helping us tackle a huge amount of debt. During our time with Katy we paid off two credit cards and a home equity loan. This accomplishment, I believe, was achieved through a combination of financial planning, manifesting, staying positive and sticking to our goals - all things Katy helped us with tremendously.

My wife and I are now on the same page in terms of our approach to finances. While working with Katy we were able to speak open and honestly about a lot of our money issues. This communication with Katy and each other has given us a sense of calm and relief. My wife was a little hesitant before a couple of our sessions. After every session, we both always felt so much better. We both have a strong sense that there is a financial light at the end of the tunnel.

Before I started working with Katy Chen Mazzara, I felt financially illiterate. Growing up, financial decisions were taken care of for me, so I didn't understand the true value of money or how to make it work for me. I also had to figure out my family's business at a young age and would often feel overwhelmed, frustrated or angry. Working with Katy opened my eyes to profound shifts that have changed my life. She showed me where my money blocks came from, what my values are, my purpose in this life, and how to set boundaries, so I can be as generous as I want to be and not be taken advantage of. Because of Katy's coaching I was able to pay off a credit card and am bringing in more money, than when we first started working together. My relationships with family and friends are even stronger now! As someone who was an athlete for most of my life, having a coach really makes sense for me to get to the next level and increase my money performance. I can't thank Katy enough for giving me the skills I now use every day!

Katy's coaching program was one of the most supportive and impactful investments that I ever made in myself.

When I met Katy I had hit my financial "rock bottom" -- filing for bankruptcy and barely scraping by paycheck to paycheck. I was scared, ashamed, and knew that I never wanted to be in these circumstances again. So I took a leap of faith and hired Katy as my coach hoping that her program would be the financial solution that I was looking for.

Throughout the course, with compassion and expert instruction, Katy guided me in transforming my financial hardship into knowledge, action, and a future plan that gave me confidence. She helped me see that I could transform my financial loss into financial gain and that I didn't have to penny pinch and live in the world of scarcity to get there. She made the journey fun, playful, liberating, and joyous...all things I would have never said about my finances!

Less than a year later, I sit happily with comfortable savings, a good and getting better credit score, plenty of resources, a growing business and I have completely left debt and scraping by behind me! And while I am so proud of all of those accomplishments, the most important asset that I received working with Katy is the self-esteem to know that I am worthy of a life (financial or otherwise) that is richly abundant and wildly successful.

Thank you, Katy, for your dedication and faith in me. I have made 10 fold what I invested in this program and will continue to reap the benefits for a lifetime!

Where to begin with this one? First of all, I think I know everything and therefore don’t ever engage coaches! 😆. Not exactly … but let’s just say I came in kicking and screaming. I knew I needed the support as I’m going through some massive life changes in the arena of career and financial health and strategies. She impressed me with her strength and grace in the face of resistance. And the scariest times bring in a lot of it.

Working with Katy just got better and better. She has a strong program, consistent structure and style and real gifts and mad skills. I always felt she genuinely cared about not just my growth but about the values I wove into that growth. That I was true to myself. I’m a major doer. Always on the move. Tons of ideas and when I met her, going in several directions at once. Panicked and repeating patterns.

Now I’ve arrived at the exact career direction that integrates not only my values but the joy I feel helping women come grab ahold of their creative power to make anything happen. Especially, the impossible. I’m finishing up the finishing touches on my first in person retreat post pandemic and I have enrolled my first one on one client in this work. I feel more creatively engaged and freer in discovering my own unique brand of business, earning, and on purpose service. In the words of Brene Brown, Katy helped me claim the whole hearted life I have always felt in my heart.

Thank you Katy. I look forward to working with you again. You are a true gift.

Thank you for your wisdom and guidance regarding my finances. I am proud to tell you that I started 2021 debt free! Two and a half years and $30,000 dollars later, all of my credit cards have a zero balance! It is such an amazing feeling! So empowering! My coaching sessions with you allowed me to change my feelings/energy around my debt from fear and avoidance to gratitude and action. Your advice saved me thousands of dollars in interest fees, not to mention years of stress and the accompanying ill health. You and your coaching were such a gift and I am so grateful to have had access to your knowledge.
