Do you avoid talking about money with your partner because it always ends in tension, shutdowns, or shame spirals? You’re not alone—and it doesn’t have to be that way.
In this solo episode, I’m sharing how you can turn money conversations from a source of stress into one of the most life-giving, intimate practices in your relationship. Whether you’re dating, partnered, or married, learning how to talk money with your honey is one of the most powerful ways to co-create a life of alignment, abundance, and love.
I’ll walk you through the four foundational steps to have clear, connected, and empowered financial conversations. From healing your money stories to creating shared abundance agreements, we’re covering what it takes to get on the same financial page—without sacrificing your individuality or values.
I’m also pulling back the curtain on how Mike and I navigate our own finances, including what works for us and why. Spoiler alert: It’s not about doing it “right.” It’s about doing it consciously and together.
If you’re ready to stop avoiding the money talk and start using it to deepen your connection, this one’s for you.
In this episode, I cover:
“When there’s secrecy of any kind—especially around finances—it leaks the energy and eats away at the foundation of your relationship.” –Kate Northrup
