    Ep 115-The Money Secrets for Your Marriage

    ⁠Register for FREE to attend the Money Secrets for Marriage Summit ⁠ In this episode, Bob and I go deep into why money feels so hard for so many couples. We walk through the reality that money problems are rarely math problems—they’re emotional, relational, and deeply tied to one's fears, confidence, and past experiences with money. We talk honestly about why couples either fight about money or avoid it altogether, and why silence can be even more damaging than conflict. We also unpack the biggest misconceptions that keep couples stuck, starting with why alignment on goals has to come before financial decisions, and why understanding yourself is essential to understanding your spouse. We connect the emotional roots of money to practical shifts in communication, mindset, and teamwork that create real change with your money and marriage. At the end, we wrap up by inviting you to take that momentum further through the Money Secrets for Marriage Summit, a free, virtual event designed to give you and your spouse clarity, shared language, and a clear starting point for building confidence and unity around your money.

    Ep 114 - Setting Your Sights on Stewardship w/Jared Sorensen

    This week, Jared Sorensen from Ag Steward joins the show for a meaningful conversation about responsibility, mindset, and stewardship. He shares his personal journey with money, the lessons he learned the hard way, and how taking ownership—rather than blaming circumstances or other people—became a turning point in both his finances and his life. Jared unpacks what stewardship really means and why it’s such a powerful, yet often misunderstood, principle. From generosity and giving to simply taking care of what’s right in front of you, we explore how money isn’t something we own, but something that flows through us.
