Frequently asked questions.
Who are you?
My name is Selomé and I’m a multi-disciplinary creative and financial coach. I arrived at this work after making countless financial mistakes of my own (see here). After going on a circuitous journey to get a handle on my money, I realized how badly this work was needed in the world. Money touches every aspect of our lives and dictates our freedom.
Everyone deserves financial wellness, but I’m especially drawn to those who have been traditionally left out of this work - including but not limited to creatives, entrepreneurs, and the QT/BIPOC community. I aim to offer a comforting judgment-free space to realign your relationship with money.
What is financial coaching?
We are multi-dimensional beings with varied life experiences so a one-size-fits-all approach to our finances just doesn’t work. Coaching offers focused and consistent conversations that offer accountability and guidance. We’ll work together to discover your existing money beliefs and then help you shift negative thoughts you have about money. You will often have assignments to complete in between sessions ranging from reading assignments to journaling exercises to somatic practices. You will arrive at a deeper understanding of yourself and your history with money. You will leave with practical and actionable tools to help you achieve your goals.
Don’t know what your financial goals are? We can work together to uncover those too.
