About

abundance and prosperityHi, I’m Kate Phillips, founder of Total Wealth Coaching. I’m a wealth educator, investment coach, author and musician with a travel bug!

My mission: To help you live a deeply fulfilling life free from financial stress.

I combine and financial education with personal development, prosperity training, creativity, and (often) community to help you transform your relationship—and results—with money.

I’ve been called a Financial Therapist, a Prosperity Coach, and a ‘Money Healer’. There is no perfect label for what I do, but from the response I’ve had, I know that I am filling a long-empty void. 

Financial plans, business strategies and other tools are only useful if your mindset supports you in taking the actions you know to take.

Once we have our thoughts and feelings truly aligned with what we want and who we are, miracles can happen. My greatest joy is watching clients experience freedom, joy and abundance where once there was fear, regret and limitation.

My clients often experience large changes faster than they imagined, such as:

  • getting out of debt
  • growing their income
  • purchasing first homes or rental properties
  • investing (profitably!) for themselves, or
  • becoming givers to (or even founders of) charitable organizations.

Using what I teach, I not only “survived” as a single mom, but thrived. I funded my dream of living in #YearRoundBeauty, moving to the country, professionally recording a cd of original music, and creating non-traditional work that allows me to travel freely.

I have made multiple six-figure profits as a real estate and stock market investor. However, it’s been the lessons learned in times of financial struggle that have shaped me most profoundly.

It’s easy to feel “abundant” when money rolls in and you look like a “success.” But where the rubber meets the road is when your outer circumstances look bleak and you have to TRUST.

I share my personal story (the good, the bad, and the really ugly) along with with some of my biggest lessons in a 22-page download:

What makes me a “Wealth Coach”?

Since 2005, I have helped hundreds of people through my coaching and courses, including Living in Abundance (for women only), Rewrite My Money Story, Wealth School and popular events for Northwest entrepreneurs.

I have also written newsletters, books and blogs for more than 7,000 investors for an Investopedia Top 100 Advisor. In 2021, Kim D. H. Butler and I published the Amazon best-seller on generational wealth, Perpetual Wealth.

However, my work is about much more than just financial “information.” It’s about transformation. I help people shift how they perceive themselves—and their money. I love harnessing the power of creativity, intuition, music and community.

In 2008, I became a certified Life Coach through Coach Training Alliance in Denver, recognized as one of the top coaching schools in the world. Prior to that, I received my Workshop/Seminar Trainer’s certification through Peak Potentials, a premiere personal development company. Additionally, I have completed Landmark Education’s Curriculum for Living and coached for Landmark Education (the Self-Expression and Leadership Program).

I have mentored with best-selling authors Robert Allen and transformational teacher Dr. Barbara DeAngelis, partnered with best-selling author Patrick Snow, and coached with internet marketer Ryan Lee. I hold a bachelor’s degree in Educational Ministries.

Based in central Washington State on the sunny side of the Cascade mountains, I love to hike, travel, do yoga, and play music.

    Hey Kate,
    Missed seeing you and the whole clan this summer at Woodsong. i truly hope that it’s not the end of that era. We made some great freinds it was a highlight of our year .. I’d rather give up Christmas (not Jesus ..just the tree and the stuff) I guess 30yrs in retail took a toll.
    Great encouraging site, funny video from the Conan Show, we are surrounded by a bunch of folks who can readily slip into ingratitude at the drop of a hat.
    I appreciate the portion of your interview discussing your current mission/carreer choice and your confidence in your direction .. as counterintuitive as it may sound, Its why I went into realestate, and hopefully why our lives will continue to grow and prosper.
    My skills as a salesman have always included advocasy for my client. Applying that to the purchase of a persons home (especially first home buyers) is both a big responsibility and privelage far beyond the sale of shoes (7 of my 18 yrs at Nordstrom) or even Guitars (more fun but lots of picky weirdos).
    Wishing you a great Holiday Season

    Much love and mushy stuff from us
