Why You Fight About Money (It's Not About the Money)

In this episode, I explore the complex dynamics of money arguments in relationships, emphasising that these conflicts often stem from deeper emotional and nervous system responses rather than the financial issues themselves. I introduce the concept of Money Story Types, which are shaped by early life experiences, and discuss how understanding these types can help couples navigate their financial conversations more effectively. The episode provides practical strategies for reframing discussions about money to foster collaboration and acceptance between partners.
