Shelley Denise "GED" Certified Life Coach


Welcome to From Welfare to Winning!

I’m Shelley Denise… also known as the GEDCertified Life Coach. 😄

Listen… I’m not coming to you with a college degree, a perfect life, or a “made six figures overnight” story.

I dropped out of high school at 17 and became a single mom at 19. Welfare helped me survive for a season, but I always knew I wanted more than just surviving.

I made some bad decisions, struggled financially for years, and spent a long time stuck in survival mode. Now as a Gen X woman, I’m rebuilding my life, getting out of debt, and trying to prepare for retirement without pretending I have it all figured out. 😂

This channel is for the people who are where I've been, people who feel behind in life. The ones trying to rebuild after bad decisions, hard seasons, financial struggles, survival mode, and starting over… AGAIN.

We talk about budgeting, finances, inherited and learned money habits, rebuilding after setbacks, and proving it’s not too late to change your life.
