In this episode of Becoming a Financially Confident Woman, Dr. April Murdaugh is joined by Dr. Freda Doxey, Licensed Mental Health Counselor, Certified Sex Therapist, and author of Live and Increase. Together, they explore how premarital counseling reveals blind spots that love alone can’t fix—from money habits and communication struggles to self-awareness and emotional readiness. Dr. Freda introduces her “HOT” framework—being honest about your expectations and fears, open to understanding your partner’s perspective, and transparent about your motives and money story.

They also discuss how early money memories shape adult relationships, the importance of flexibility before setting a wedding date, and why empathy and emotional maturity matter more than perfection. Listen to the end as Dr. Freda shares the one question every couple should be asking today.
