EP98: In today's episode, we’re diving into the often awkward topic of money, especially when moving in with your partner. Why is it so hard to talk about finances? Many of us weren't taught about money, and there's often a lot of shame or embarrassment tied to it.

I’m not a financial professional whatsoever, but for some reason I get a lot of finance questions from my audience so decided to dive into it.

We'll discuss key conversations you need to have: how much you each make, your credit scores, budgeting, and how to split expenses. Whether you’re a 50:50 kinda person (you know my stance on that), one person covering everything, or a percentage-based approach, we’ll explore what might work best for you.

We’ll also cover the pros and cons of joint accounts, and avoiding feeling financially taken advantage of. Plus, we'll share tips on understanding each other’s spending habits and ensuring both partners feel secure.

EP86: Let’s be real—your twenties are often hyped up as the best years of your life, but they can also be some of the most challenging. In today's episode, I'm going to open up and share a mix of experiences, from the wildest birthday parties to those moments of reflection where I wonder, “What was I thinking?”

Your twenties are meant to be a struggle. We have all been there. Dating mistakes, money problems, major hangxiety, outgrowing friendships, and feeling like we don’t fit in. 

We've all had our fair share of dating mistakes, financial struggles, and times when we’ve felt like we just didn’t fit in. I'll delve into my own journey, discussing moments of confusion, the pressure to please others, and why embracing your true self is so important.

If you are feeling lost, you are not alone. It is a decade full of uncertainty. So grab your headphones, and let’s get into it.
