Some key moments in our conversation:

• Sheeshum left a job that wasn’t working for her despite the fear of not knowing what’s next
• “I’m trying to reevaluate my relationship with the universe. I have a zero to zero or 1 to 1 relationship with the universe.”
  • Hear about Sheeshum’s unique experience and understanding of how what she puts into the world relates to what she gets back
  • She can do what she needs to do and trust that the rest will take care of itself – which hasn’t been a path of perfection or zero disappointment but rather a way to stay on her own track.
• Her focus on language learning, creating a group for teaching financial literally and combat taboos around money, and her focus on having a little more fun this year than last year
• What it’s like being in the financial world related to her intersections of identity
• Tools:
  • Her community of loved ones, friends, and mentors – “as though the universe conspires to have someone there for me.”
  • Feedback on her various projects
  • Planners to organize tasks and priorities – “a roadmap to walk on”
  • A focus on progress rather than what’s left undone
  • Drawing inspiration from techniques that worked for her from her own past
• Highlight: Kiva, a worldwide crowdfunding platform to empower people in their own lives and communities
