Kathy Current, trauma-informed financial coach

For anyone who’s ever whispered, “God, I can’t do this anymore,” Filipino American coach Kathy Current offers faith-based healing from debt, divorce, and shame in Heal Your Money Wounds God’s Way.

When you’re drowning in debt, it’s not just the bills that bury you. It’s the fear. The shame. The ache of having to start over when you never asked for things to fall apart.

Kathy Current knows this intimately.

Once a respected mortgage advisor with a thriving career, Kathy was brought to her knees when her husband walked away from their marriage. The loss wasn’t just emotional—it was economic, spiritual, and deeply personal.

“I didn’t just lose a relationship,” Kathy shares. “I lost the future we planned, the lifestyle we built, and the confidence I once carried. Everything I trusted felt like it was collapsing.”

What came next wasn’t just about survival—it was about transformation.

When heartbreak meets hardship

In the wake of her marriage ending, Kathy faced a tidal wave of change. Her finances spiraled, her career momentum stalled, and her sense of purpose slipped out of focus. She was, in her words, “crushed but breathing.”

“People talk about rebuilding, but sometimes you don’t even know where to begin,” she says. “I knew how to help people buy homes. But I didn’t know how to heal a home that had broken from the inside out.”

That’s when she turned to God—not for answers, but for presence. And that’s when everything began to shift.

From real estate to real healing

In the silence of her struggle, Kathy began to see her clients—and herself—through new eyes. The people she had helped with mortgages weren’t just financially overwhelmed. They were emotionally exhausted. Spiritually disconnected. Carrying money wounds that no spreadsheet could solve.

And she realized: so was she.

That calling led Kathy to become a trauma-informed financial coach, guiding others through the very path she had walked. Her book, Heal Your Money Wounds God’s Way, is now a lifeline for people searching not just for financial freedom—but peace, forgiveness, and spiritual restoration.

Five faith-filled steps to heal your money story

Through her coaching and writing, Kathy offers a simple but powerful roadmap for those navigating both debt and despair:

1. Recognize the wound

You can’t heal what you won’t name. Beneath every financial mistake is often a deeper emotional hurt—abandonment, fear, scarcity, or shame.

2. Forgive yourself

“Your failures are not final,” Kathy says. “You are more than your worst decision.”

3. Invite God into the process

Healing isn’t about hustle. It’s about surrender. “You don’t need a miracle formula. You need God’s presence,” she adds.

4. Take small steps

Budget one bill. Cancel one unnecessary expense. Ask one trusted friend for help. Small faith steps open big doors.

5. Stay hopeful

The process won’t be instant. But you will grow stronger. “God doesn’t waste pain. He rebuilds purpose from it,” Kathy affirms.

When shame whispers, grace answers louder

Kathy often works with people who believe they’ve messed up too badly to ever recover. They’re in debt, in grief, or in the middle of divorce or depression—and they’re convinced it’s too late.

“Shame is a liar,” she says. “It tells you you’re finished. But God says you’re just getting started.”

If you’re at the end of your rope—tie a knot

Today, Kathy coaches others with the same tenderness and truth that saved her. She reminds them that walking away from what broke you doesn’t mean you’re defeated. It means you’re still alive. Still chosen. Still here.

“I thought losing my marriage was the end,” she reflects. “But it was the beginning of who I was always meant to become.”

Remember:

You are not your debt. Not your divorce. Not your disappointment.

You are loved. You are seen and God still has plans for you.
