I’m Adeline Niyonsaba, the founder of Adeline Financial & Career Coaching, a podcast host, and an international motivational speaker. I grew up in a middle-class immigrant family where financial education and budgeting weren't prioritized. Through personal experiences, including making mistakes and unintentionally being in a financially abusive relationship, I eventually had to file a consumer proposal after leaving that situation. Late-night discussions with my friends revealed that many of us struggled to navigate the financial system, often finding that banks provided inadequate advice. Motivated to break the cycle of living paycheck to paycheck, I took the initiative to educate myself about finance. By learning effective money management strategies, I was able to transform my finances from a source of stress to a means for achieving the lifestyle I wanted. I aim to share my knowledge and empower my community to pursue financial success.
