Today we continue our conversation with Anna Sale, host of the popular podcast Death, Sex, and Money and author of bestselling book Let's Talk About Hard Things.

On Part 1 of this interview, Anna goes into the nitty-gritty of talks about sex and death—why they are so hard to have, and how to make them easier. On Part 2, she delves into money. She talks about something called financial vigilance, and how people who have historically felt the need to over-control their money can have a hard time down the road when financial decisions have to be made, as well as other pit-falls that can crop up in any relationship that has to do with money. Bottom line: we all have to talk about money from time to time—might as well learn how to do it.

Be sure to listen to Part 1 first.
