Before we ever combined bank accounts, we had to ask a bigger question: what was our relationship with money before we met?

In this episode, Aleya and her fiancé, Gabs, pull back the curtain on the money mindsets they both inherited. They talk about what it means to be a “yes” couple — always saying yes to travel, experiences, and opportunities — and how they're now learning to be a “no” couple.

From navigating three layoffs together, to building an emergency fund and finding a rhythm for budgeting that still leaves room for joy, this conversation is about more than just money, it’s about growth, communication, and redefining what wealth means in partnership.
