#64: How to talk about money, finances, spending habits - Relationship Series Part 2 with Mike and Ellen Melon

Dear listeners, pardon my absence! After taking a year off of the podcast, being pregnant, buying a house, having a baby, getting engaged, I am back and ready to share some new content on the podcast.

This season on To Hump a Pillow, I invite my fiance Mike to the podcast in a 7-Episode Relationship Series to discuss challenging conversations that occur in couple-hood. We'll deep-dive into 7 deliciously uncomfortable topics:

1. How to talk about envious and jealous feelings
2. How to talk about money and finances, spending habits
3. Sex life - how it's changed over our relationship and how to ask for what you need
4. On taking things too personally
5. Maintaining individualism and ensuring alone time
6. Day to day compromising
7. Coparenting in a blended family

In this episode, Mike and I discuss difficult feelings and values around money, like:

1. Money mindset
2. How money was discussed in our homes, upbringing
3. Our challenges with talking about money
4. As a woman, making my own money to be able to make empowered decisions
5. Spending money seperately, together, and on large purchases
