Snag Our Simplified Budget System!

If you’re the one handling the bills, making the spreadsheets, remembering all the passwords (and maybe even doing coaching solo), while your spouse is more hands-off — we see you. And we’ve got your back.

This episode is all about getting your partner on the same financial page without nagging, begging, or feeling like you’re carrying the weight of your family’s money goals alone. Spoiler alert: you don’t have to do it all by yourself. 💛

We’re sharing:

1. Why sharing the numbers (literally printing the budget out!) can change everything

2. How to approach these convos without sounding like a tiny barking chihuahua 🐶

3. What to say (and how to say it) when you want to include your spouse in big money decisions

4. Real client stories that show how shifting your approach leads to huge mindset shifts

5. The power of scheduling budget talks on purpose — not yelling numbers across the kitchen

6. The secret weapon: framing budget convos around dreams instead of doom

✨ Whether your spouse is deep in the spreadsheets or couldn't care less about interest rates, this episode is full of tips that help you work together — without turning into the budget police.
