Do money conversations with your spouse always end in a fight, a shutdown, or total avoidance? You’re not alone—and you’re not doomed. In today’s episode, we’re breaking down the real reasons why you and your partner keep clashing about money (spoiler alert: it’s not just about the numbers).

Whether you’re the planner or the free spirit, the saver or the spender, you’ll walk away with practical, grace-filled tools to communicate, create shared goals, and finally get on the same page financially. I’m sharing the exact steps my husband and I used to go from chaos to clarity—and how you can too.

💡 You’ll learn:

• Why opposites attract—and then attack—when it comes to money

• The role of financial baggage, fear, and control in your arguments

• How to talk money with curiosity instead of criticism

• Why vision must come before budgeting apps

• How to lead by example and start creating shared money goals

Plus, I’ll give you a free resource that’s helped dozens of couples stop fighting and start budgeting like a team.
