Welcome to another episode of Visibility Talks where I am delighted to be joined by our first ever international guest – live from New York, it’s Selomé Samuels! We met in the comment section of a brilliant woman Simone Grace Seol, had an initial chat on a call and discovered that we would have a great conversation all about that VERY taboo topic – MONEY.
What has this got to do with visibility?
I do love talking about why money is such an issue and how to start tackling it (long time listeners may remember an early episode – Making Money + Making Mistakes). I think it’s a massive hindrance to getting more visible for some women because let’s not forget, in the great scheme of things it’s still a new concept for women to earn their own money. As a consequence there is a severe lack of education around money, and so our nervous systems have not had the chance to learn how to regulate and essentially it can turn into a giant mess of push-me-pull-you about whether to earn more money and then what to do with what’s required when you do earn more money and then the stories we tell ourselves about money and what we’ve learned. It’s big! The idea that we feel we are bad with money is not actually true. I loved talking with Selomé because as you can hear – she tell us that we are not uniquely broken but we have some behaviours that are unhelpful.
