Terry Banks specializes in guiding professionals to efficiently manage their finances so that they can shift from being frustrated with living paycheck to paycheck to achieving their definition of financial freedom. Terry started Bank On It Financial Coaching after heeding encouragement from friends who benefited from years of her informally sharing what she learned along her journey to financial freedom. Through trial and error, she pioneered her way from not knowing if she would ever be able to retire to having the option of retiring early. When she’s not helping others conquer their money fears and tap into their dreams, Terry enjoys standup comedy, reading, gardening, investing, and savoring tequila.

“We’ve seen wellbeing lists that's like, Oh, do these 10 things, everything will be better. Take a bath, sit in a quiet room, and these things that. For some folks, yeah, it works. For other people, I know that it's not going to work.” - Kyle Johann-Baker

 

“This is a continued conversation. We're working with each other for three months, multiple times over those three months, and we're actually talking about building systemic change.” - Kyle Johann-Baker

Tweetable Quotes:

 

“We lose a job or we get a new home, or we lose a pet, or we lose a part of ourselves, or we leave a relationship. All of those are versions of ourselves dying and being reborn.” - Shiv Narang

 

“We're moving through things and healing through things, not just for ourselves, but for the people who came before us and for the people who are yet to come.” - Shiv Narang

 

“There are people who've done this before, who found their way in this before. And yet there's only me. I'm the only me ever. I'm the only me with my kind of grief ever. And both are true” - Shiv Narang

 

“The blood is moving, and sometimes we just have to let the blood move, you know?  I think a lot of people resist the quiet and the silent or things are trying to sort themselves out.” - Shiv Narang
