If we could just tackle this 1️⃣ thing...
"Our relationship would be amazing if we could just tackle this 1️⃣ thing..."
What thing is that, at least what I hear most often? 🧐
Money. Getting on the same page. Having a shared plan. 💸
Whoa. That sounds great, but also like an overwhelming pipe dream, right? 🙄
Well, hopefully this helps. 🙏
I'm going to show the model I recommend to get the money conversation started in a healthy way. 🗣
If you want more guidance on how to fill in the brackets, you can sign up for the full guide here. 📰
Here's the model!:
"I've been thinking a lot about money lately, and I've been feeling [x] because of [event, concern, issue, etc.].
I acknowledge/apologize for [my role in things getting to this situation, i.e. getting defensive, not asking for this conversation sooner, etc.].
I really want [hopes and dreams for the relationship and your lives], and I think getting on the same page about money can help us get there.
When would work for you to start the conversation?"
