Michelle Hall, CEO & Christian Life Coach

Meet Michelle Hall, CEO of The Esteemed Life, LLC & Certified Christian Life Coach and Financial Coach.

I’m passionate about helping women, especially those 5-10 years pre-retirement, take control of their financial future and create the retirement of their dreams. My own journey to retirement planning opened my eyes to the importance of knowing all the resources available, from maximizing employer-sponsored retirement plans to understanding Social Security benefits. But beyond that, I realized how crucial it is to plan for the kind of lifestyle we want to live in our retirement years.

I have been interested in personal finance since my early teenage years.  My family did not have much but I vividly remember how diligent my mother was about paying her bills on time.  She passed the responsibility on to me from time to time and it stuck with me.  I pursued a degree and career in accounting and became a Certified Public Accountant.  I held my license in good standing for over 20 years and recently became inactive when I left full-time employment.  

Retirement isn’t just about reaching a certain age; it’s about ensuring we can continue living abundantly and joyfully. That’s why reducing debt and effective budgeting are key components of my approach. By stewarding our finances wisely now, we can free up more funds to contribute toward retirement, ensuring that our future is secure and aligned with our goals. Through my work, I aim to empower other women to confidently step into their retirement years with the financial freedom they deserve.
