Growing Yet Grown

Money is one of the most common sources of tension in marriage—yet it’s often the hardest conversation to have.

In this episode, we unpack the real role money plays in relationships and why avoiding financial conversations can quietly damage a marriage. We dive into financial transparency, money mindset, and honest communication, and how each one shapes trust and partnership.

We discuss navigating debt, managing family financial expectations, prioritizing careers within marriage, and how financial contributions can influence power dynamics. We also explore the purpose of prenups and why they’re not about mistrust—but clarity.

Whether you’re single, engaged, newly married, or years into marriage, this episode offers insight, perspective, and practical wisdom for healthier conversations about money.

Welcome to the Growing Yet Grown Podcast, with Doyin and Simone.

Growing Yet Grown is a podcast hosted by two friends in their 30s. We explore the reality of growing after you’re already grown - careers evolving, relationships changing, money decisions getting heavier, identities shifting, and expectations colliding with real life.

Each episode is a candid, thoughtful conversation about the choices and tensions that define modern adulthood - no easy answers, just honest reflection, lived experience, and practical insight.

This podcast is for anyone who knows that adulthood isn’t a finish line - it’s a phase of continuous growth, questioning, and becoming.
