Together, you’ll unpack common myths about budgeting, how mental health practices like meditation can support financial clarity, and why everyone needs at least one financial confidant.The conversation also goes deep on relationships and money—including how family history and financial trauma can show up in marriage, what it really takes to align goals as a couple, and practical strategies to prevent the big blow-ups before they start.In this episode, you’ll learn:Why money feels so emotional—and how to move from avoidance to empowermentThe myth that “budgeting means you’ll never have fun again” (and what to do instead)Carrie’s concept of a financial confidant and why it can change everythingThe #1 hidden issue couples face: different money histories + unspoken expectationsHow to align financial goals while still honoring individual dreamsA practical savings framework (three distinct savings “buckets”/accounts)How to set spending agreements that reduce conflict and build trustResources mentioned:Carrie Friedberg’s website: sfmoneycoach.comBook: At Peace With Money: A Holistic Roadmap to Financial Wellness (pre-sale available on Amazon & Barnes & Noble)Email: carrie@sfmoneycoach.comFree tool: “Financial Partnership Questions” (downloadable on Carrie’s website)","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/rQVqPizYN5G2GJB3cFVoOcb2PbpBLfoZ7dSFvdRgES8/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS8xOWNi/MzY1ZmY1ZmRmY2Q4/ZmU4ODM1MmY4YjRh/NDA1YS5qcGc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
