Hello- I’m Grace Kim, a veterinarian turned 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.

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®).

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

What is Financial Coaching?

Most people are familiar with financial professionals who provide advice regarding investments, insurance, retirement planning, and tax planning. They are commonly referred to as financial advisors or financial planners.

 

But what if you’re looking for advice about how to make (and stick to) your budget? Paying off your debt? Figuring out how to save for all those life events, big and small, that aren’t related to retirement? 

 

Or what if your finances look good on paper, but you’re still struggling with a lot of worry and stress that take up too much of your mental energy?

 

This is where financial coaching comes in, and it’s where I love to help veterinarians the most!

 

Whether you’re a brand new grad who is trying to figure this out on your own or you’re thinking about whether you can afford to make some major life/career transitions, financial coaching is an absolute game changer!

 

As an AFC® (Accredited Financial Counselor), I help you create better financial habits and strategies so that you can be the veterinarian you want to be AND live the life that you want without letting your finances get in the way. 

 

You’ve dedicated yourself to caring for the health and wellbeing of your patients. Now it’s time to focus on the health and wellbeing of your finances so that you can fully THRIVE in your career and in your life outside of work!
