Embracing Our Sexuality As Essential For Success with Dana Myers (012)

Have you ever felt financially limited because you and your partner aren’t on the same page about how you spend money? Navigating financial disagreements can feel tricky, but it doesn’t have to leave you feeling powerless. In this episode, I’ll guide you through reclaiming your financial sovereignty and fostering more compassionate, productive conversations around money with your partner.
