Money and marriage, two things that can bring couples closer or tear them apart. In this episode, we’re joined by Jessica and Brandon Norwood, founders of The Sugar Daddy Podcast, to talk about the money conversations every couple needs to have if they want their relationship (and their finances) to thrive.
Jessica, a tech consultant and the breadwinner in her family and Brandon, a financial planner share their journey from friendship to marriage, how they navigated big money differences, and why they believe every couple should have a prenup or postnup (they call it “love insurance”).
Whether you’re dating, newly married, or celebrating decades together, this conversation is packed with real talk, relatable stories, and smart strategies you can put into action right away.
