Helping You Take Control of Your Money So You Can Take Control of Your Life

If you feel overwhelmed, stressed, or unsure where to start with your money, you’re not alone. Many people were never taught how to budget, plan, or build healthy financial habits. That’s why Climb Higher Financial Coaching exists—to give you the clarity, tools, and confidence you need to move forward.

I’m Renee Chapman, founder of Climb Higher Financial Coaching. I specialize in helping individuals, couples, and families reduce stress, build structure, and gain control of their financial futures. My approach is practical, judgment-free, and focused on real-life progress—not perfection.


My Story: From Financial Struggle to Financial Stability

I grew up in a family where money was tight and uncertainty was constant. Later, as a single parent after divorce, I found myself facing many of the same challenges—stretching every dollar, feeling overwhelmed, and trying to build stability on my own.

Those experiences shaped me. They taught me the power of practical money management and the peace that comes from feeling in control.

Professionally, I managed tight municipal budgets as a Parks and Recreation Director, where I became known for rebuilding struggling departments and maximizing limited resources. That budgeting experience ultimately became the foundation of my coaching work.

Today, as a military spouse and mom of a blended family of nine, I understand the financial realities everyday people face—because I’ve lived them.

I started Climb Higher to help you break the paycheck-to-paycheck cycle and build a financial future you can rely on.
