WEBINAR DESCRIPTION
Clean Up Financial Confusion
Ready to do some financial “spring cleaning”? No matter where you are in your personal and professional life, it’s important to take time to address your financial health and wellness. Too often, busy veterinary professionals are left unsure and confused about how to make good financial decisions regarding their budget, savings, and paying off their debt. Further, many of us have been socialized to believe we’re “bad” at managing money, or that smart money decisions are only possible with the help of a financial planner.
During this mini-retreat, Accredited Financial Counselor, Dr. Grace Kim, and Certified Life Coach, Julie Squires, will lead you through a systematic, thoughtful approach to your money, so you can gain clarity and control over your finances. Over the course of 6 sessions, you will gain greater awareness of your current financial situation, debunk misguided beliefs about your own ability to manage your finances, and come away with practical and actionable steps to achieving your personal financial goals.
This workshop will include a reflective self-assessment, worksheets, and spreadsheets that we’ll complete together as we move through each session, to help you understand your priorities, create a budget, and take charge of your financial wellbeing. Dr. Kim does not sell financial products - she coaches you to feel confident managing money on your own!

WHAT IS A FINANCIAL COUNSELOR?
Dr. Kim is an Accredited Financial Counselor - not a financial planner! This means her goal is education. She’ll help us improve our beliefs about money, strategies for saving, and confidence in setting budgets and managing debt. She does not sell investments, insurance policies, or other financial products. She’ll give us the tools and confidence needed to manage our own finances.
As a veterinarian who found herself completely bewildered by the idea of managing her own finances after graduation, she set out to become the expert - and to train others to do the same! Learn more about Dr. Kim and her mission at Richer Life DVM.
MEET OUR SPEAKERS
Help Us Welcome Veterinary Coaches, Dr. Grace Kim and Julie Squires!
Grace Kim, DVM, Accredited Financial Counselor
Grace Kim, DVM, AFC®, CSLP® is a financial wellness coach and educator for veterinary professionals who want to stress less and find more joy with their money without feeling overwhelmed in the process. She is a strong proponent of financial literacy, financial wellbeing, and financial empowerment for all veterinary professionals.
From Dr. Kim:
“When graduating from veterinary school with six-figure student loan debt and very little financial literacy, it was easy to ignore money. As long as the bills were getting paid and I wasn't going (further) into debt (thanks, six-figure student loans!), I figured I was doing okay.
Fast forward to getting married, having children, owning a home, dealing with one too many unexpected expenses… All of a sudden it wasn't so easy to ignore money. I started asking questions like:
How do we pay off our student loans faster?
Where is all of our money going?
Can we afford (fill in the blank)?
Are we on track for retirement? Were we being responsible with our hard-earned money?
These seemed like such easy, basic questions, but I couldn't find anyone who could answer them (without trying to get me to buy more insurance products or manage our assets). So I decided to start with the basics.
Then surprisingly, I actually started LIKING personal finance. It got to a point where I wanted to share this much needed, valuable information with my veterinary colleagues so that they don't have to make the same mistakes I did. So I decided to become a financial coach and educator as an Accredited Financial Counselor (AFC®).”
