Most partnerships sail smoothly in the aspects of love and building a healthy family. However, the topic of money has become taboo, striking an unhealed wound on both parties.
Together with coach, author, and business strategist Leisa Peterson, we dissect our core beliefs in money management, the attraction to our “financial opposite”, and the right approach in initiating this tricky subject.
Tune in to this episode: Relationships and Money with Leisa Peterson.
Key points covered in this episode:
✔️ Cultivate mindful and intentional relationships with money. Leisa Peterson aims to discover the root cause of this disconnection with money and open people’s eyes to the cycle of playing off of your partner’s financial fears.
✔️ Money habits are learned. Remember how your parents handled money? You may have unconsciously picked up their habits, or intentionally done the opposite after seeing the consequences.
✔️ Establish safety in money conversations. Set some ground rules to maintain comfort in your dialogue. Go through these guide questions:
- “What does money mean to you?”
- “How does money make you feel?”
- “What makes you feel good about having more money?”
- “What worries you about not having enough money?”
Listen deeply. Compare notes. And see your partner through the lens of their money story.
✔️ Awareness is everything. Recognizing the sources of fears and tendencies slowly breaks down the problematic parts of your relationship. And those issues you thought would never be resolved are straightened out.
✔️ Your commitment should be stronger than the noise. Instead of Googling for solutions, work with an expert to finally escape the limbo. Also, team up with your partner in riding the waves of conflict and disagreement.
✔️ Be curious enough to explore newfound wisdom with your partner. As you’ve been enlightened, your partner may not be on the same wavelength. Don’t clobber them with information. Approach discussions like gift-giving.
