This playlist features full episodes of Real Financial Tea, a podcast where we break down real-life money situations and turn them into practical financial clarity. Each episode explores how money shows up in relationships — from lying about income, financial dependency, and remittances, to power, control, and unspoken expectations, especially within the African diaspora in the UK, US, Canada and abroad. If you’re navigating marriage, engagement, family pressure, or money stress and want honest conversations without judgment or fluff, this playlist is for you.

    I paid over £250,000 of his debt… then he said he never loved me.

    “I paid over £250,000 of his debt… then he said he never loved me.” If you share bills, a mortgage, or a life with someone—this episode could protect you.In this episode of Real Financial Tea, Sholz breaks down a real story about secret debt in marriage: a woman paid over £250,000 of her husband’s debt, sold her own house to clear it, and then he admitted he never loved her and used her for money and papers. We cover what to do when a partner’s debt threatens your mortgage, your credit score, and your children’s stability—plus the exact 24–72 hour moves: what to say to your lender, how to get free UK debt and housing support, and how to separate finances quickly. We also tackle a second dilemma: credit card debt spirals in immigrant households—multiple cards, buy-now-pay-later traps, and high monthly repayments—how to stop the cycle without turning your partner into your police officer.
