Why does talking about money with your partner feel so loaded?

Why can financial conversations turn into full-blown fights?

And what if the real issue isn’t money at all?

In this episode, Alyson and I explore why finances are one of the biggest sources of stress — and even breakups — in relationships. We talk about how money has tested our own marriage, the hidden meanings we attach to it, and what shifts when we start to see what money truly represents for each of us.

Do you have someone in your life that, no matter what you do, it’s always your fault?

Do you often walk on eggshells, worried the next thing you say will set them off?

And at what point does “difficult” cross the line into a personality disorder?

Today, Alyson and I dive into one of the toughest, most confusing topics in relationships: personality disorders. Borderline, narcissistic, and other disorders can be hard to spot, until it’s too late. We’ll break down the red flags to watch for, the patterns that make these relationships so draining, and, most importantly, how to protect yourself when someone else’s behavior is dominating your life.

Have you chased success, only to realize it was shallow or meaningless?

And what happens when we finally start living in alignment with our soul instead of our ego?

Today, Alyson and I dive into success, comparisons, and the art of getting over yourself. We talk about who we are underneath the urge to protect, please, and prove, and why it’s actually a gift when our wins feel empty.
