Describe a typical coaching session.
Sessions last 1 hour and take place remotely on video conference. During a session, we’ll learn how to use YNAB, get to know your specific goals, and work together to make progress on those goals. For example, if you’re interested in paying off credit card debt, we would create a plan using YNAB for you to pay off your debt.
