Recently, I noticed that I was doing many things because they "make sense" or they are a good strategy. But I wasn't really feeling inspired about them. To move from a place of inspiration is what this idea of being tapped on the shoulder is all about. It's this voice, this idea that comes to you and asked for you to take it in and spend time with it and allow it to inspire you t...

As they say, money is never the problem, your relationship with it is. Money itself is neutral, it’s whatever you make it to be that makes us a magnet or a repellant for money.

Selomé is a certified trauma-informed Financial and Life Coac...

Welcome to today's episode, where we’ll be exploring what it means to be human. At our core, we all share the same desires for connection and love, and we all know that we will eventually pass away. While we're alive, we have the opportunity to make the most of our circumstances. However, we can be quite hard on ourselves and engage in negative self-talk, so it's important to allow our...

This episode is about the rhythm of life, its cyclical nature and things coming to an end to make space for a new beginning. It’s beautiful and painful at the same time.

Something I've been sitting with lately is this idea of taking the pressure off. We experience so much pressure in our day to day, in our jobs and our relationships; these expectations to do things really fast.
