Leah Davis

I am a trauma-informed financial coach, on-camera financial educator, and curriculum designer with over ten years of experience helping people understand money in a way that connects with real life.

My work sits at the intersection of financial education and human behavior. I don't just teach people what to do with their money. I help them overcome the fear and shame that has been keeping them stuck, and I create the kind of learning environment where that shift can happen without fear of judgment.

On the content side, I have developed financial education video scripts, content calendars, messaging frameworks, and UGC-style concepts for fintech brands and personal finance platforms. I am comfortable in front of the camera and equally comfortable behind the strategy. I know how to take a topic like credit utilization or cash flow and turn it into something a real person, not a finance major, can understand and apply the same day.

On the coaching and curriculum side, I have designed and delivered financial wellness programs for nonprofits, community organizations, and companies including Oakland Promise, Brooklyn Defender Services, Native Women Lead, and WIC of Northern California. I scaled one program from 72 to nearly 2,000 annual participants, which taught me a lot about what actually moves people from learning to doing.

I hold a Financial Fitness Coach certification from Sage Financial Solutions, a Nichols Certified Facilitator credential from Motivating the Masses, and I am completing my Trauma of Money Practitioner certification, which deepens the trauma-informed foundation already built into everything I do.

What sets me apart is that I understand your user. I have spent years in community rooms and virtual workshops with people who are scared of their bank statements, overwhelmed by debt, and skeptical of financial advice because no one has ever talked to them like a human being. I know how to reach that person. I know how to earn their trust through language, tone, and content that meets them where they are.

If you are building financial education content, a wellness program, or an on-camera strategy that needs to connect with real people, I would love to be part of that work..
