About Me

Hi, I'm Hannah Bell. I graduated from law school in 2016 with over $60,000 in student loan debt. I knew so little about personal finance and as someone with 20 years of education, I felt ashamed I didn’t know more. It seemed like everyone else knew what to do. I didn’t know how to manage money, how to pay off the debt I had accrued, and I didn’t know what decisions to make to secure my financial future. But, how would I know? I never had taken formal classes on financial management and having debt and spending money was such a normal part of my culture. (Turns out a lot of people are in this situation!)

Early in my law career, I had an epiphany. The way we were living and the amount of debt we had meant we were going to be trapped in an ongoing cycle and wouldn’t be able to forge the life we wanted. My husband and I teamed up and paid off over $90,000 of debt in a matter of 26 months. I learned everything I could about budgeting, paying off debt, living debt free, and having a solid financial plan to create the life I envisioned for my family.

Through this process, I discovered the freedom of living debt-free and the importance of creating financial stability and practicing mindfulness around money. I also learned that the way I spend money represents what I value, and have been able to create an intentional lifestyle around my goals, values, and passions.

By combining my passions of financial literacy, mediation, and teaching, I help my clients have difficult money conversations, adopt a practical budget, and find the framework to afford a happier life.


I became a financial coach because of the impact learning about finances had in my own life. I wanted to make the same financial education accessible to anyone else seeking it.

Aside from financial coaching, I’ve found great joy in practicing and teaching mediation. I teach mediation three times a year at the University of New Mexico School of Law. Mediation deeply informs my practice as a financial coach, particularly when working with couples and those in business partnerships.
