It is typical of today's 'coaches' to use psychological tactics to try to make people spend a lot of money to work with them. Some of the most common tactics used are:
1. Guilt tripping prospective clients and playing on emotions (IE- "If you care about yourself, your future, or your business, you would find a way to come up with the money to work with me")
2. Trying to talk prospective clients into spending money they currently don't have; encouraging prospective clients to go into debt to work with them; encouraging prospective clients to do unethical things to obtain the money (IE- Encouraging prospective clients to use the little money they do have saved up on the coaches's program; Encouraging prospective clients to put the coaches's services on a credit card; Encouraging prospective clients to ask an elderly or sick family member for the money)
Even if you have told Vanessa you are currently trying to fix your credit score and get out of debt, Vanessa and her team will still encourage you to try to get another credit card and put Vanessa's services on it.
In my opinion, an ethical person is not going to encourage you to put yourself into a deeper financial hole to work with them. Especially if it is a women's empowerment coach and/or a financial coach. The last thing they should be 'empowering' women to do is to dig a deeper hole financially or to do something unethical in order to obtain the money.
Below are two screenshots from a post found online, pertaining to Vanessa. The poster was encouraged to go into deeper debt in order to work with Vanessa.

Each example that I used for points #1 and #2 are things I have personally experienced through Vanessa's sales team. Her sales people are downright ruthless and will encourage you to go to your elderly grandmother to come up with the money to work with Vanessa. Vanessa and her sales team will encourage you to ask/take advantage of a mentally handicapped family member for money. They will encourage you to ask a sick family member that is living on disability for money.
Even if you have told Vanessa you are currently trying to fix your credit score and get out of debt, Vanessa and her team will still encourage you to try to get another credit card and put Vanessa's services on it.

What are your thoughts on this? Would you consider working with a person that encouraged you to go into debt in order to work with them?
