116 | Feeling Like the Financial Parent? 3 Tips to Shift Your Relationship’s Money Management Dynamic


Listen Later

The emotional weight of being the “responsible one” in your financial relationship can feel overwhelming at times. If you're always the one initiating money conversations, paying bills, and planning for the future—while your partner avoids it all—you might be taking on the role of the financial parent.

In this episode, I share my personal story of navigating this exact dynamic in my own marriage—and how it left me feeling resentful, burned out, and alone.  What started as responsible money management quickly became a lonely job that I didn't sign up for.

In this episode I discuss:

  • Why financial parenting is so common—especially among women entrepreneurs and high-achieving women
  • How money beliefs from childhood shape your financial roles in adult relationships
  • The role of nervous system regulation in money dynamics and power struggles
  • How to stop “over-functioning” and start creating a true financial partnership
  • Why feminine energy, curiosity, and emotional safety are key to changing the pattern

Whether you're in a romantic relationship, a business partnership, or navigating both, this conversation will help you recognize your own patterns—and give you tools to shift from control to collaboration.
