Genevieve Ponder, CPA — Money Stress Expert

I’m a financial wellness coach on a mission to help people come out of financial anxiety and take their power back—one budget at a time. A fifth-generation Floridian raised in Tampa’s Ybor City (shoutout to “The Bottom”), I turned my money smarts into a CPA career working for some of the biggest names in accounting.

Budgeting came easy—until life got REAL. Stressful jobs, toxic relationships, and burnout taught me what spreadsheets never could: money stress isn’t just about dollars, it’s about your emotional bandwidth. So in 2015, I founded Ponder Money to help folks heal their money mindset and rewrite their financial story.

Today, through workshops, coaching, and unapologetic truth-telling, I helps high-functioning-but-financially-frustrated folks find peace, clarity, and confidence. My signature programs—Ponder Peace, Ponder Power, and Ponder Prosperity—make room for both budgeting and boundaries.

I’m also the author of Master Your Money Identity, and use my voice to change the way we think, talk, and feel about money—for this generation and the next.  Ponder Money – Financial Power to the People.
