Real estate before marriage, financial independence, and building wealth are not just smart ideas
they can completely change your future. In this powerful episode of Bartelle’s Money Talk, we sit down with real estate investor and author Alex E. Edwards to uncover why getting your finances together before marriage is one of the most important decisions you can make.
If you’ve ever wondered how to build wealth through real estate, avoid financial stress in marriage, or create long-term financial security, this conversation will open your eyes. Alex shares practical strategies on buying property before marriage, using FHA loans and down payment assistance programs, and how owning multiple properties can reduce financial conflict and create lasting stability.
We also dive into real conversations about money and relationships—why finances are one of the top reasons for divorce, how financial independence protects women, and the importance of transparency, credit awareness, and planning before saying “I do.” This episode will challenge the way you think about love, money, and marriage.
You’ll learn how to use real estate as a wealth-building tool, how to manage debt wisely, and why having a financial plan before marriage can lead to a stronger, more peaceful relationship. Alex also breaks down powerful concepts like prenups as protection, using life insurance to cover debt, and how even government programs can help you get started in real estate sooner than you think.
If you’re serious about organizing your money, building wealth, and creating a life of financial clarity and peace, this episode is for you.

You make too much money to still feel this stressed, confused, and unsure where it all went and if you’re honest, it’s starting to feel frustrating, exhausting, and even a little discouraging.
In this episode, I’m breaking down the truth most women never hear: this is not an income problem it’s an organization problem. Your money isn’t missing… it just doesn’t have a plan.
I am Theresa, Certified Financial Coach, Certified YNAB Coach, and Motivational Financial Speaker, and my mission is to help women go from financial chaos to true financial clarity without shame, without pressure, and without needing to earn more money first.
If you are a woman who pays her bills, makes good money, and still finds herself wondering “where did it all go?” this episode will show you exactly why that’s happening and how to fix it starting today.
We walk through the powerful, practical system of zero-based budgeting (giving every dollar a job) so you can stop living paycheck to paycheck, eliminate financial stress, and finally feel in control of your money.
This is not just about budgeting it’s about biblical stewardship. God has entrusted you with resources, and learning to manage them well is an act of obedience, discipline, and faith.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
Scripture reminds us in Luke 16:10 that if we are faithful over little, we will be trusted with much. Financial clarity doesn’t start when you make more it starts when you manage what you already have.
🎯 Your next step (don’t skip this): In the next 24 hours, download the YNAB app and begin assigning every dollar you currently have a job. This one step can completely change the way you experience money.
You are not bad with money. You’ve just never been shown a system that works.
It’s time to organize your money, steward it well, and finally walk in financial peace.

Financial infidelity, hidden debt in marriage, and secret credit card debt are destroying relationships today. Many couples discover too late that one partner has been hiding massive financial obligations before or during marriage.
What would you do if you discovered your husband had been hiding six-figure debt from you?
Financial betrayal inside a marriage is more common than most couples realize. Secret loans, undisclosed credit cards, and hidden debt can quietly grow for years before the truth finally comes out.
In this episode of Her Money with Reese, certified financial coach and certified YNAB coach Theresa “Reese” Bartelle discusses the painful reality of financial infidelity and the devastating moment when a wife discovers hidden debt.
You’ll learn:
• What financial infidelity really is • The warning signs a husband may be hiding debt • Why secret credit cards and loans spiral into massive balances • The one question every woman must ask before marriage about debt • How hidden debt impacts credit scores, mortgage approvals, and financial stability • Practical steps couples can take to rebuild trust and recover financially
Money problems are consistently ranked among the top causes of divorce, yet many couples never talk honestly about debt before marriage.
Financial transparency is not just about budgeting. It’s about trust, honesty, and building a life together on truth instead of secrecy.
If you are dating, engaged, newly married, or rebuilding trust after financial betrayal, this episode will help you understand why open conversations about debt and finances are essential for a healthy marriage.
Because love should never be built on secrets.

If you’ve been told that the secret to building wealth is learning how to pick the right stocks or perfectly time the market, you’ve been told a lie.
In this episode of Her Money with Reese, financial coach Theresa “Reese” Bartelle explains why true financial power does not come from predicting the stock market. Real wealth begins with something much simpler and much more powerful your budget.
Many women believe they must become investing experts to build wealth. They feel pressure to find the perfect stock, predict market crashes, or chase financial trends. But this constant pursuit often leads to anxiety, decision fatigue, and financial confusion.
Instead of trying to control the unpredictable stock market, Reese teaches why focusing on what you can control your income, your spending, and your debt is the real key to financial freedom.

If you earn a good income but still feel financially stuck, you are not alone.
Many professional women making $85,000 or more per year feel confused about where their money is going. On paper everything looks successful the career, the home, the salary but inside there is still financial stress, uncertainty, and the quiet question: “Why am I not getting ahead?”
In this episode of Her Money with Reese, certified financial coach and certified YNAB coach Theresa “Reese” Bartelle shares five powerful biblical money principles that can completely transform the way you manage money.
Instead of following the world’s financial advice, we’re looking at what the Bible actually says about saving, debt, wealth, generosity, and financial peace.
You’ll discover:
• Why high earners often become expert spenders but amateur savers • The surprising wisdom of Proverbs 21:20 about building wealth • Why tithing first changes your financial mindset (Proverbs 3:9–10) • The powerful warning about debt as financial slavery (Proverbs 22:7) • The discipline lesson from the ant and proactive wealth building (Proverbs 6:6–8) • The ultimate cure for financial anxiety through trust in God’s provision (Philippians 4:19)
Mastering your finances is not just about spreadsheets and budgeting apps. It’s about aligning your heart, habits, and money with God’s wisdom.
If you are a successful woman who feels like she should be further ahead financially, this episode will help you move from financial stress to financial peace through biblical stewardship.
