What makes Color My Credit different
Credit empowerment, not credit repair
You learn it yourself
Instead of paying someone a monthly fee to work on your credit for you, you learn to read your own credit report and choose your next step.
If you can color, you can do this
The Color Key turns your credit report into a coloring page, so you can see which accounts are helping you and which need attention.
No shame, no jargon
Plain-English lessons, real-life stories, and a little humor from a mortgage professional and former TV producer.

Halftime Adjustments
One-on-One Credit Strategy Session
An hour to pause, see where you are, and choose your next play. We focus on your current situation and work through one Color My Credit method, such as Debt Pinball or Easy As 1-2-3, so you understand how to use it. No shame, no jargon. This is a focused strategy and teaching session, not a full review of all three credit reports.
Your Credit Game Plan
Three-Session Credit Coaching Program
A full look at your credit team, with three 45-minute coaching meetings over six months. I review your three credit reports and put together a rewritten report and a game plan for each player: who to add, who to cut, who to stop focusing on, and who may be retiring soon. Across the three sessions, we cover your credit roster, homebuying questions, and buying a car or another goal that matters to you. Topics can shift with your needs. This is the complete offer for someone who wants a full report review and coaching over time.
Come on your own, or bring a partner: a friend, sister, daughter, or someone else you want learning alongside you. It does not have to be a romantic partner.

The Adulting Kickoff
Give them a starting point, not another lecture. A 45-minute one-on-one money session with Alisa, plus a signed copy of Color My Money Club and a pack of crayons, for a new 18-year-old learning how credit and everyday money decisions work. Alisa ships the book herself after the call, personalized the way they ask for on the call.
Color My Credit provides credit education. It is not a credit repair service and does not provide legal or tax advice. No one can promise a specific credit score result; your results depend on your own credit history and choices.
