Lauren Gerber-Fleury | Certified YNAB Coach

I help folks shed money shame and ditch the “shoulds” by building a budget system that actually flows with your real life—not against it. With YNAB, we make space for both peace of mind and pizzazz, so you can trust your money and live a life filled with delight.

I come from a hospitality + service-industry background. I built my coaching practice rooted in compassion, anti-capitalist values, and real-world budgeting. I guide clients — especially creatives, tipped workers, and folks with irregular income — through building systems that serve their lives, not consume them. Fun Facts About Me: There’s a Dolly Parton concert category in my budget just in case. I have 4 different YNAB categories for my 5-year old red heeler pup. Pizza to me will always be the perfect meal. I paid off $58k in debt, and saved another $20k as a server in NYC.

I'm not here to shame you for past money missteps. We've all made mistakes or missed out on the learning we so desperately needed. SAVOR is a judgment free space, focused on co-creating something new together, not dwelling in the past. We build your YNAB system in a way that adapts to your shifting income, energy, and goals. Beyond coaching sessions, I’m here by text and email, to root you on, answer your questions, and help you make progress. My coaching centers self-trust, rest, agency — not hustle or shame.

After years working shifts and relying on tips, I know how financially draining and disempowering service work can feel. I started coaching because too many folks like me were told to handle money in a way that just doesn’t fit our lives.

I believe everyone, especially folks in hospitality, creative , and gig work, deserves a money relationship that feels liberating, not suffocating. My mission is to help people reclaim their money as a tool for freedom, not guilt; to savor how they earn, spend, and save without feeling stuck.
