S3_E39 Stop Being the Bank: Boundaries with Partners, Parents & Kids

We all think we’re supposed to look after everyone our partners, our parents, our kids, our grandkids. But what happens when that “responsibility” becomes a financial trap? This week I’m diving deep into the messy middle of money and relationships when love, obligation, and trust get tangled up with bank balances.

I’ll take you inside real-life stories from workshops and coaching sessions:

• When a partner’s business collapses and you’re the one propping it up

• When a sibling might be financially exploiting your ageing parent

• When kids (or the “Bank of Mum and Dad” culture) expect more than you can afford

We’ll talk about difficult conversations, long-term thinking, and why “no” is a complete sentence. Most importantly you’ll walk away with the tools and permission to protect your financial future without blowing up your relationships.
