Through Plena, women and couples transform stress, confusion, and fear around money into peace, purpose, and unity. The Catholic Financial Wellness approach blends proven financial strategy with Christ-centered principles so families can flourish — spiritually, emotionally, and financially.
Christ-Centered Financial Coaching for Families
“Plena” (Latin: “full, generous, abundant“)
“I came so that they might have life and have it more abundantly.” (John 10:10)
You weren’t made to just get by.
Feeling trapped in cycles of money stress…living paycheck to paycheck… buried in debt…constant arguing over finances…
Jesus doesn’t want that for you.
He wants you to know His provision.
His peace.
His freedom.
Plena isn’t some prosperity Gospel.
It’s the support you crave to develop stable godly finances.
If you’ve ever felt stuck because of money, you’re not alone.
Finances are the top reason for divorce. Young people are delaying marriage and family due to crippling debt and financial insecurity.
Peaceful finances are essential for healthy vocations.
Change doesn’t happen by accident
Building healthy money habits takes more than just information. It takes formation. Living the practical, proven strategies that bring peace in your finances requires training in the right skills and mindset.
God cares about your money struggles
Have you bought into the lie that God is indifferent about your financial state? Your loving Father is invested in everything about you – that includes your money!
Faith-aligned approach
God has a lot to say about how to handle money so that it brings us closer to Him, instead of farther away.
At Plena, you can trust that the Catholic Financial Wellness approach is grounded in Scripture and faithful to the Catholic Church.
Plena is the clarity you’re seeking
when your next steps matter.
A reliable financial roadmap lets your whole family flourish.
God has entrusted you with a particular calling.
The state of your money will either help you succeed…
Or it will sabotage your whole mission.
Do you…
Feel like you’re “doing ok” with money…
but things could be better?
Have hopes for the future…
but feel confused about how to achieve your goals?
Feel overwhelmed by options and information…
and wish there was a straightforward path?
Do you wish you had more support and guidance to transform your finances?
Hi, I’m Emma!
I’m a Catholic wife and mom, and my life looks very different than it would if my family and I took a “normal” approach to money.
We don’t use debt. My husband and I feel free to have more kids than we can “afford,” according to society’s standards.
Our family has always been financially free to go where God sends us.
But it’s not because we’re wealthy.
It’s because God set us on a path of financial peace and we’ve never looked back.
We treasure the way we can live out our calling, thanks to the skills we’ve learned.
Money just isn’t a source of tension in our house. Not that we make more of it than average…we’ve just learned how to have unity, purpose, and confidence in managing what we do have.
Plena was born from my desire to help Catholic families experience true peace, wholeness, and abundance — not just in their finances, but in every part of life.
It kills me to hear people saying things like:
“We just can’t afford to have kids yet.”
“I shouldn’t even date right now…It would be unfair to bring all my debt into a marriage.”
“We feel called to mission…but have no idea how we’d make it work.”
“I want to stay home with my kids…but we couldn’t survive on one income.”
My mission is to equip other Catholic women and families to step fully into the abundant life God offers them. I help them break free so their finances don’t hold them hostage anymore.
