Money is often a major source of stress in relationships, yet open financial communication can feel hard. What if talking about money didn’t have to be awkward or overwhelming—but instead strengthened your partnership?
In this episode of The Mom-entum Podcast, I sit down with Melissa Murphy Pavone, a mom of two, Certified Financial Planner®, and founder of Money Matters in Marriage LLC. Melissa has spent 18 years helping couples navigate money conversations and is on a mission to flip the script on financial communication.
We dive into:
- How to host a financial date night that brings you and your partner closer
- Shifting from scarcity to an abundance mindset
- Fun and practical ways to teach your kids about money
- Why creating a “cash flow plan” is more empowering than budgeting
- The link between financial transparency and stronger relationships
Whether you’re navigating debt, feeling financially dependent, or simply trying to get on the same page with your partner, Melissa’s wisdom will leave you feeling inspired and ready to take action.
