From RN to Your Financial Advocate

It was 3 PM in the breakroom. I was a “young” RN, and I was surrounded by brilliant, burnt-out nurses who were all experts in care... and all terrified of their finances.

  • Hi, I'm Huyen "Monica" Myers.

    For over five years, I am a full-time Registered Nurse. And if you're a nurse, you know exactly what that means.

    I've lived the life. I've clocked the 12s, I've managed the code carts, I've juggled shift differentials, and I've felt that deep-in-your-bones burnout.

    I've also seen a silent "symptom" running through our profession: financial stress.

    I saw brilliant, compassionate colleagues who could run a chaotic trauma room with perfect precision... and then confess in the breakroom that they were terrified to look at their debt balance.

    I saw seasoned, six-figure-earning nurses who had no idea if they were on track for retirement.

    We were all so busy caring for everyone else that we had no energy left to care for our own financial futures. We were surviving, not building.

  • The "Pivot"

    That feeling—of being stuck, of having a great income but nothing to show for it—made me angry.

    I knew there had to be a better way. We're a profession of brilliant, data-driven, and gritty professionals. We're trusted with people's lives, but we're often set up to fail with our money. Our pay is variable, our debt is massive, and we're too exhausted to decipher the 403(b) paperwork that's written in a language no human understands.

    My passion for finding a real solution for us became an obsession. I realized that complaining about it wasn't enough. I had to become the resource I wished I had as a new grad.

    So, I pivoted. I dove into the world of finance, not to become a Wall Street 'guru,' but to become a translator.

    I got my Life & Health license and my LUTCF® (Life Underwriter Training Council Fellow) designation. I am now a candidate for the AFC® (Accredited Financial Counselor) to master the art of coaching. And I am on the rigorous path to the ChFC® and CFP® (Certified Financial Planner) credentials to ensure I can provide the highest, most ethical level of expertise to my community.

  • My Philosophy: We Don't Need Another 'Budget.' We Need a 'Financial Care Plan.'

    I founded Shift 2 Wealth Coaching for one simple reason: to be your advocate.

    The traditional "finance bro" advice was never built for us. It doesn't account for our income, our schedules, or our unique "caring" mindset.

    My mission is to change that. I help nurses using the same process we already trust:

    Triage: We assess your "financial vitals" with no judgment.

    Diagnose: We identify the root cause of the financial stress.

    Plan: We build a "Financial Care Plan" that is simple, clear, and built for a nurse's life.

    Follow-up: We use coaching and community to keep you healthy and on track.

    My goal isn't just to be your coach. It's to be your partner in building a life where you are as financially healthy as the patients you work so hard to care for.

    You have the skill, the grit, and the income to build an incredible life. You just need a plan.

Ready to Start Your "Financial Care Plan"?

You don't have to do this alone anymore. I'm here to help.
