About Us

No matter your income, net worth, or the amount of debt you’re facing, NewLife Financial Coaching can help. Debt can feel overwhelming and place real strain on your life and relationships. If you’re dealing with collection accounts, judgments, or garnishments, I can help you navigate these challenges, negotiate with creditors, and often settle accounts for less than what is owed.

My coaching goes beyond quick fixes. I work with you to uncover the root causes of your financial stress and the habits that led to debt in the first place. From there, I provide a clear, practical path forward—one that corrects past behaviors, builds healthier money management skills, and supports a long‑term, debt‑free life.

Working with a financial coach not only guides you toward financial freedom—it equips you with the tools and confidence to manage your money differently for the rest of your life. Every session is confidential and completely judgment‑free. The reasons behind your debt do not define you. Whatever your circumstances, you’ll find a safe place here to speak openly, honestly, and without shame about the challenges you’re facing.

A debt‑free life is absolutely possible—and often closer than you think. You can do this. NewLife Financial Coaching is here to show you the way forward.

 All coaching is directly with 

Catherine Thompson

My mission is to guide every client toward healthy, confident money management. I use a biblical‑based approach to financial coaching, offering practical, compassionate guidance that helps people break free from debt and build lasting financial stability—no matter their background or starting point.

I’m a proud mother of two daughters and have called Utah home for more than 29 years. I love spending time with family and friends, and I’m grateful for the beautiful outdoors this state offers. When I’m not coaching, you’ll often find me golfing, riding horses, or working in my garden.

I’ve worked in the finance industry for over 30 years, and helping people get out of debt has been a passion of mine just as long. My own life experiences taught me early on that debt isn’t always predictable—life happens, and circumstances change. But living with debt long‑term is a choice. With the right support, tools, and accountability, you can take back control. That’s where I come in.

I’ve been a longtime supporter and listener of Dave Ramsey, and today I’m honored to be a Dave Ramsey Certified Master Coach and Endorsed Local Provider. My coaching combines biblical principles, real‑world financial expertise, and a judgment‑free, encouraging approach to help clients create meaningful, lasting change.

I’m grateful for the opportunity to walk alongside each person I work with. Together, we’ll navigate your challenges, rebuild confidence, and create a plan that truly works for your life.

​Thank you, 

Catherine Thompson

NewLife Financial Coaching is a proud sponsor of Holding Out HELP, Utah

Holding out HELP provides those from a polygamous culture the care, support and resources to become independent and self-sufficient.

Holding Out HELP (HOH) began after a family fled their polygamous community and ended up on our founders’ doorstep. She was shocked at what was happening in the United States of America in God’s name-right in her very own backyard. She learned of closed communities that had a prophet who told them what to wear, eat, read and whom they could associate with. Marriages were arranged, education was a low priority and child labor, and abuse were very normal and accepted. Sadly, when they leave or get kicked out, they lose their family, friends and entire social structure. The founder realized the importance of having an organization that could walk this path of freedom with them- someone that would listen, encourage and provide the many resources needed. The core of Holding Out HELP is unconditional love and acceptance that allows healing and hope while the client discovers what their new life will look like.  

It is estimated that there are 40,000-100,000 polygamists living in the Western United States, Canada and Mexico, with a majority of them residing in or around Utah. Each group, family and individual have a unique story – but most of the individuals HOH serve have faced forms of bondage and tragedy. When someone leaves or is kicked out, they often experience loss of family, financial ruin, feeling judged, abandonment and loneliness. HOH is a safe place for them, providing a loving and caring body of people to extend hope for a new and bright future.
