- 1:39Speaker 1: So this one's going to be navigating money talks and
- 1:45Speaker 1: essential communication skills. So communication is huge, right. We have masculine,
- 1:50Speaker 1: we have feminine, we have old, young kids, authority, we
- 1:54Speaker 1: have all different types of communication styles. We have quick short,
- 1:58Speaker 1: we have different from state to state, we have different
- 2:00Speaker 1: from country to country. So we're going to tie all
- 2:03Speaker 1: that down a little bit and we're going to give
- 2:05Speaker 1: you some tips and some tricks onto how to talk
- 2:08Speaker 1: about money, which of course relates to just communication. Right.
- 2:12Speaker 1: So I want some clarity, I want you to be
- 2:14Speaker 1: able to have some clarity, and I want you to
- 2:16Speaker 1: have some go tos and I want you to feel
- 2:18Speaker 1: more confident, because this is my feeling. Women do not
- 2:22Speaker 1: talk about money. We hide how much we make, We
- 2:25Speaker 1: hide how much we owe, we hie hide how much
- 2:28Speaker 1: we spend. Anse spenders out there. If we know about investing,
- 2:34Speaker 1: it's just not a topic that people talk about now.
- 2:37Speaker 1: Being a financial advisor that I am, and I talk
- 2:40Speaker 1: about this all the time and people talk to me
- 2:42Speaker 1: about it. So I kind of know thousands of people
- 2:44Speaker 1: I've talked to over the years, and I know what
- 2:46Speaker 1: they're thinking and they're doing around money. So I wanted
- 2:48Speaker 1: to bring that up here and say, Okay, how can
- 2:51Speaker 1: we talk about this. I'm also single. I have a
- 2:54Speaker 1: lot of single friends and when they meet that special someone,
- 2:57Speaker 1: when do we start talking about money? How do we
- 3:00Speaker 1: start talking about money. We don't want to do it
- 3:02Speaker 1: too soon, we don't want to do it too late,
- 3:04Speaker 1: we don't want to be in fear of it. And
- 3:06Speaker 1: we want to know about their money as well. I mean,
- 3:10Speaker 1: I'm in my sixties, so I need to know what's
- 3:13Speaker 1: going on in their world as well. So there's lots
- 3:15Speaker 1: of different areas that we want to talk about money.
- 3:17Speaker 1: So how can we do that? Here's the first one.
- 3:20Speaker 1: Now I know you might have heard this before. I
- 3:22Speaker 1: statement if we want to bring up the topic of
- 3:25Speaker 1: money using I for example, I feel a bit anxious
- 3:30Speaker 1: when we're going to discuss money or discussing our budget,
- 3:33Speaker 1: which I actually have my client say a spending plan.
- 3:37Speaker 1: I don't want to constrict women in spending money. I
- 3:40Speaker 1: actually want you to plan for spending it. We call
- 3:44Speaker 1: it a spending plan. But a I messages I feel
- 3:47Speaker 1: anxious when we're going to have our money date. I
- 3:50Speaker 1: also have my clients have a weekly money date individually,
- 3:54Speaker 1: and then as couples, we have that once a month
- 3:56Speaker 1: or once a quarter, depending on how we divvy up
- 3:59Speaker 1: the jobs around our finances and cash flow in our household.
- 4:03Speaker 1: So we can just be honest and say I'm feeling
- 4:06Speaker 1: anxious about our conversation around our money date. You could
- 4:11Speaker 1: even just say I'm feeling anxious because I don't feel
- 4:14Speaker 1: like I'm doing what I should be doing right. We're
- 4:16Speaker 1: putting shoulds on ourself, which we all know we're not
- 4:18Speaker 1: supposed to be doing that, but we do, especially around money.
- 4:22Speaker 1: So I statements I am very excited to have my
- 4:26Speaker 1: money date with you. I'm very excited to do that,
- 4:29Speaker 1: and let's talk about self talk. I mean being single
- 4:32Speaker 1: that I am, and we all have our own relationship
- 4:35Speaker 1: with money, regardless of who's in our household, who we're
- 4:38Speaker 1: in business with, who we have to share money with,
- 4:41Speaker 1: we have our own personal, individual relationship with money. And
- 4:45Speaker 1: guess what you are responsible with your relationship with your money.
- 4:49Speaker 1: And we can't guide that, and we can't sweep that
- 4:53Speaker 1: under the rug. We have to look at that because
- 4:55Speaker 1: that's going to come out in our communication. I hope
- 4:58Speaker 1: that makes sense. So my relationship with money, our theme
- 5:02Speaker 1: around my household growing up was work hard, make money.
- 5:05Speaker 1: We were business owners and we worked seven days a week,
- 5:07Speaker 1: three hundred and sixty five days a year. So when
- 5:09Speaker 1: I met someone that didn't have the same work ethic
- 5:11Speaker 1: as I did, that went to my resentment or discrimination
- 5:17Speaker 1: thoughts against them about work ethic because that all played
- 5:22Speaker 1: a part. Right, work hard, make money, that's what it's
- 5:24Speaker 1: all about. Then I came into coaching with my coach
- 5:28Speaker 1: and found out that no, I doubled my income the
- 5:31Speaker 1: year that I actually took more rest time and took
- 5:33Speaker 1: more me time. So it's not about work hard, make money. However,
- 5:37Speaker 1: that is the relationship belief that I had in my head.
- 5:40Speaker 1: We all have those beliefs that might not be accurate
- 5:43Speaker 1: any longer. So when we care about our relationship with
- 5:47Speaker 1: money and we look at that relationship and then we
- 5:50Speaker 1: reframe our beliefs, we can show up now currently in
- 5:55Speaker 1: our lives today and have great communication around money well
- 6:00Speaker 1: I statements for sure, and looking at our own relationship
- 6:04Speaker 1: with money and then be honest about it. I have
- 6:07Speaker 1: a group of friends that we talk all the time
- 6:09Speaker 1: and we say, you know, I'm feeling a little less
- 6:13Speaker 1: than right now because I've spent so much and I
- 6:17Speaker 1: need to pull in the reins a little bit. I
- 6:19Speaker 1: hear that a lot around the holidays or after the holidays,
- 6:22Speaker 1: I need to pull in the rains a little bit.
- 6:24Speaker 1: For some reason, with women, since we have that emotional
- 6:27Speaker 1: relationship with money, we start beating ourselves up about that.
- 6:31Speaker 1: Another reason why you want to have a spending plan
- 6:34Speaker 1: in place, so you already know I'm going to spend
- 6:37Speaker 1: this much at holidays. I know I'm going to do that,
- 6:40Speaker 1: so then after the fact, you won't be beating yourself
- 6:43Speaker 1: up about that. Hope that makes sense. So spending plan
- 6:47Speaker 1: I messages and your relationship with money. Okay, we also
- 6:51Speaker 1: want to acknowledge our emotions. Money is emotional, and it's
- 6:55Speaker 1: okay to acknowledge that. You might say, I know this
- 6:58Speaker 1: topic can be a little stress for both of us,
- 7:01Speaker 1: but let's be patient with each other. That way, when
- 7:04Speaker 1: you're when we're creating a safe space to be honest
- 7:07Speaker 1: around money. We can do this with our children, our
- 7:11Speaker 1: business partners, our spouses, the people that we might be
- 7:14Speaker 1: living with. You might have roommates or you know, just
- 7:18Speaker 1: house guests or whatever. Anytime you're talking about money at
- 7:21Speaker 1: any time. I go on girls trips a lot. When
- 7:24Speaker 1: you go away for the weekend, we have an app
- 7:27Speaker 1: that we put on our phone, and whoever pays puts
- 7:29Speaker 1: it in the app so that we split it evenly.
- 7:31Speaker 1: So we talk about money, we talk about Okay, this
- 7:33Speaker 1: might be a little awkward, so how can we do this.
- 7:36Speaker 1: I also believe that there's an energy exchange with money,
- 7:40Speaker 1: and so when someone comes over to want to do
- 7:43Speaker 1: something for me, that's great. I love that, but I
- 7:45Speaker 1: want to have some type of an equal exchange, either
- 7:48Speaker 1: you know, cook them dinner or you know, spend some
- 7:52Speaker 1: time with them, whatever it might be for them. If
- 7:55Speaker 1: it doesn't want. If it doesn't warrant a money exchange,
- 7:58Speaker 1: it still warrants an energy exchange. It could just be
- 8:01Speaker 1: a nice card. It could be a grateful thank you,
- 8:04Speaker 1: It could be a ride to the next event. Like,
- 8:06Speaker 1: there's no telling what it can be, and I just
- 8:09Speaker 1: always want to make sure there's a good exchange there.
- 8:11Speaker 1: I don't want to be the one that's always giving, given, giving, given, giving,
- 8:15Speaker 1: with no return, because then I'm going to get resentful,
- 8:18Speaker 1: if that makes sense. And I don't want someone else
- 8:21Speaker 1: to be given given giving to me without you know,
- 8:24Speaker 1: Like I have a neighbor that comes and feeds my
- 8:26Speaker 1: cat all the time. I love that. Of course she
- 8:28Speaker 1: doesn't want anythink I'm going to take her out to dinner.
- 8:31Speaker 1: I'm gonna get a little small gifts here and there,
- 8:32Speaker 1: because there needs to be an energy exchange. You don't
- 8:35Speaker 1: want to give and take on both sides. Hope that
- 8:38Speaker 1: makes sense. So when we're talking about money, we want
- 8:40Speaker 1: to say, hey, we want to be honest and create
- 8:43Speaker 1: a safe place. So what does that mean? Guess what?
- 8:47Speaker 1: You get to know yourself. We have to know ourselves
- 8:50Speaker 1: around money. Are we a spender? Are we a saveror
- 8:53Speaker 1: do we beat ourselves up around money? Are we in
- 8:56Speaker 1: money fear? Are we just stressed out around money because
- 9:00Speaker 1: that's the way your household was when you were growing up.
- 9:02Speaker 1: That very well could be the case. So just acknowledging
- 9:05Speaker 1: it and saying it out loud, it could be. Even
- 9:08Speaker 1: as adults we are, we can be talking to our
- 9:10Speaker 1: parents and we can say, hey, let's talk about money
- 9:13Speaker 1: a little bit. What did you learn about money? I
- 9:15Speaker 1: don't know why it seems to be such a taboo,
- 9:18Speaker 1: taboo subject, but it is. It's kind of like politics
- 9:21Speaker 1: and religion. Nobody talks about money, and we need to.
- 9:24Speaker 1: We need to learn from each other. We need to
- 9:26Speaker 1: learn the right way. Again, I'm all about the F word,
- 9:29Speaker 1: feminine financial freedom. So we think about money differently than
- 9:33Speaker 1: men do. And this is my opinion, my opinion, only
- 9:37Speaker 1: we have a relationship with money. I've have many, many
- 9:40Speaker 1: men clients and they're amazing and they can actually hit
- 9:44Speaker 1: a bump on the road, come back, shake it off,
- 9:47Speaker 1: move on. They don't take it personally as most women,
- 9:50Speaker 1: like us, we hit a bump on the road and
- 9:53Speaker 1: we beat ourselves up forever, like we made a huge mistake.
- 9:56Speaker 1: And that is not our fault. That is not your fault.
- 9:59Speaker 1: That has been out there forever. I mean, if we
- 10:02Speaker 1: look at it, women didn't even have our own bank accounts,
- 10:05Speaker 1: our own money or anything until like fifty years ago.
- 10:08Speaker 1: And I can tell you I was married in the
- 10:10Speaker 1: eighties and my husband had to come to the bank
- 10:12Speaker 1: to sign for me to have my own checking account
- 10:15Speaker 1: in the eighties. So in our lifetime right now, we
- 10:18Speaker 1: have just now starting to handle money on our own
- 10:23Speaker 1: and handle finances on our own. So we're little babies
- 10:25Speaker 1: at this, So we can't beat ourselves up for not
- 10:28Speaker 1: knowing or not feeling really good about it. I mean,
- 10:31Speaker 1: grandpa's don't pull the little granddaughters aside and say, hey,
- 10:34Speaker 1: let me teach you about stock. Let's go grab some
- 10:36Speaker 1: Disney stock or some eighteen tar or whatever they're doing
- 10:40Speaker 1: at the time. They do grab the grandson and say, hey,
- 10:44Speaker 1: let's talk about money. This is what money is. This
- 10:47Speaker 1: is how we're going to save it. This is how
- 10:49Speaker 1: we're gonna build it. We're going to buy stock, this
- 10:51Speaker 1: is how we create a company. Little girls get taught
- 10:54Speaker 1: to cook and clean and take care of the little
- 10:56Speaker 1: babies and the dolls and the barbies. We don't get
- 10:59Speaker 1: taught what money does and how to make more money.
- 11:02Speaker 1: Women just get attacked on spending too much purses and Starbucks,
- 11:06Speaker 1: which is all such maloney. Instead of saying, hey, create
- 11:09Speaker 1: your own purse, start your own line, you know, create
- 11:12Speaker 1: a business, make some more money, turn a side hustle
- 11:15Speaker 1: into some cash, we don't talk that way to women.
- 11:18Speaker 1: So this is a part of our heritage. So we
- 11:21Speaker 1: want to acknowledge that it's not all our fault and
- 11:24Speaker 1: now it's yours to deal with. So what do you
- 11:26Speaker 1: get to do? You get to educate yourself, right, educate
- 11:28Speaker 1: without shame, just educating with knowledge. Okay, So now we
- 11:33Speaker 1: want to recognize that we have a relationship with money
- 11:36Speaker 1: before we met anybody that we want to be talking
- 11:38Speaker 1: to money about. And then we have to honor that
- 11:41Speaker 1: another way. When we're talking with someone around money for
- 11:45Speaker 1: a relationship, it could be your business partner again, your parents,
- 11:49Speaker 1: your kids, your spousees. We want to focus on a
- 11:53Speaker 1: solution together so that one person doesn't feel attacked and
- 11:57Speaker 1: the other person doesn't feel, you know, like this vendor
- 12:00Speaker 1: doesn't feel ashamed or blamed. I keep hearing from women
- 12:03Speaker 1: all the time. I'm so tired of financial industry making
- 12:06Speaker 1: me feel like crap, Like they just I walk into
- 12:08Speaker 1: this big building and this man in this three piece
- 12:11Speaker 1: suit is I feel like he's wagging his finger out
- 12:13Speaker 1: me and tell me everything that I've done wrong. So
- 12:15Speaker 1: that's what's wrong with the industry. We're not doing that here. Absolutely,
- 12:19Speaker 1: you are perfect just the way you are as is
- 12:22Speaker 1: right this minute. And I want to applaud you for
- 12:25Speaker 1: being on this podcast and listening to the show, because
- 12:28Speaker 1: you are learning a lot right now. And it's not
- 12:31Speaker 1: just about the zeros in your account. It actually is
- 12:35Speaker 1: so much more than the zero's so looking at our
- 12:38Speaker 1: relationship around money, handling that, taking care of it, healing it,
- 12:43Speaker 1: loving ourselves through that with compassion and kindness. When we're
- 12:47Speaker 1: going to work together with someone, we can frame a
- 12:49Speaker 1: conversation such as, let's figure out a plan to work
- 12:52Speaker 1: together for both of us. How can we create some
- 12:57Speaker 1: a schedule or some spreadsheet or a process that makes
- 13:03Speaker 1: us both feel comfortable around our financial decisions. It's more
- 13:07Speaker 1: of a collaboration instead of you spend so much I
- 13:10Speaker 1: need to know what's happening, or you never want to
- 13:12Speaker 1: talk about money, or I feel like i'm in this
- 13:14Speaker 1: all by myself, right I statement, that's a good one.
- 13:17Speaker 1: It's an ice statement. However, it's on the negative side.
- 13:19Speaker 1: So let's say, instead of either one of us handling
- 13:22Speaker 1: things on our own, let's do this collaborative. What are
- 13:25Speaker 1: you good at? What am I good at? And let's
- 13:28Speaker 1: put that together? Makes sense? Okay. Next, we're going to
- 13:32Speaker 1: practice patience. We have to be patient with ourselves. We
- 13:35Speaker 1: have to be patient with others, especially if someone's just
- 13:38Speaker 1: learning finance, no matter what the age is. I'm also
- 13:41Speaker 1: a certified divorce financial analyst, and there's a lot of
- 13:43Speaker 1: times that spouses have never dealt with finances at all.
- 13:46Speaker 1: So we are educating them from the ground up. There's
- 13:49Speaker 1: zero shame and blame about that. They just didn't do
- 13:52Speaker 1: that in their life before, so now they're learning it.
- 13:55Speaker 1: So we want to remember that good communication takes practice,
- 13:58Speaker 1: and we want to be able to say, let's keep
- 14:00Speaker 1: talking about this regularly so that we can get comfortable
- 14:03Speaker 1: over time. Patience is key. The more we do it,
- 14:06Speaker 1: the more it becomes easier. Just like you know, working out,
- 14:11Speaker 1: it's a muscle. I call it your money muscle. It
- 14:13Speaker 1: is absolutely a muscle to learn about your money to
- 14:16Speaker 1: experience it and now to be able to talk about it.
- 14:18Speaker 1: One other thing I think is really good is setting
- 14:21Speaker 1: shared goals. So if dealing with money with someone, let's
- 14:25Speaker 1: have some shared goals. Like we had a downturn in
- 14:28Speaker 1: the market years ago, and a lot of people had
- 14:31Speaker 1: a lot of credit card debt, and so I would
- 14:34Speaker 1: have them put the bills on the refrigerator as a
- 14:36Speaker 1: family as they chick you know, put an X on
- 14:40Speaker 1: it every time one of the cards got paid off
- 14:42Speaker 1: or it got lowered or something, so the whole family
- 14:45Speaker 1: got a reward so everyone could see that. You know,
- 14:48Speaker 1: credit card back debt is not good. We want to
- 14:51Speaker 1: make sure that it's all paid off, but bring the
- 14:53Speaker 1: household into it. When I had my kids, we had
- 14:56Speaker 1: goals about what we were going to do when something
- 14:59Speaker 1: Happenedarly goals a couple, you know, because kids are young,
- 15:02Speaker 1: So you want monthly goals, quarterly goals, and so that
- 15:05Speaker 1: when we accomplish something that we get to go do
- 15:07Speaker 1: something or have a Friday night pizza party or whatever
- 15:09Speaker 1: it might be, trip to Disneyland, so that we're all
- 15:13Speaker 1: involved in the shared goals. So when we're talking about
- 15:17Speaker 1: setting our shared goals, especially when it comes to money,
- 15:19Speaker 1: it's really helpful to frame it as a collaborative effort.
- 15:23Speaker 1: Let's sit down and figure out what we both want
- 15:26Speaker 1: to achieve in the next year, whether it's saving for
- 15:28Speaker 1: a trip, paying down debt, or building an emergency fund.
- 15:32Speaker 1: This makes the goal setting as a team and a
- 15:34Speaker 1: collaborative and not just an individual task. How many of
- 15:38Speaker 1: you out there are handling your finances on your own.
- 15:40Speaker 1: How many of you out there are handling your finances
- 15:42Speaker 1: on your own and there's another person in your household
- 15:45Speaker 1: and you're still doing it all by yourself. That is
- 15:48Speaker 1: my main client is. I have so many women that
- 15:50Speaker 1: are running the household because the man's off busy, they're
- 15:53Speaker 1: busy doing and they just don't like it. So I
- 15:56Speaker 1: am that person's sound board and I'm collaborative with them
- 16:02Speaker 1: on building their wealth and planning for their future because
- 16:05Speaker 1: the other spouse isn't just it's just not interested in
- 16:08Speaker 1: And that's okay as long as we update them monthly
- 16:11Speaker 1: so that they know what's happening. It's okay for you
- 16:14Speaker 1: to not like any of this. However, if you are
- 16:17Speaker 1: solo like I am, you have to do it anyway.
- 16:20Speaker 1: So we want to make sure you can clear all
- 16:22Speaker 1: those beliefs out and get happy about it. Okay. We
- 16:26Speaker 1: also want to be able to navigate the difference of
- 16:31Speaker 1: how everybody handles money, what their money stories are, everything.
- 16:35Speaker 1: So when we're navigating differences, whether it's different financial priorities,
- 16:38Speaker 1: different comfort levels about talking around money, or just finding
- 16:41Speaker 1: common ground, you might want to say something like this,
- 16:44Speaker 1: It is totally normal for us to be different and
- 16:47Speaker 1: we have different perspectives on money. So let's focus on
- 16:50Speaker 1: what we can build from here and go through because
- 16:53Speaker 1: one of you, each of you is going to have

- 18:20Speaker 2: with your host and weekly friend, Jennifer Jos.
- 18:24Speaker 1: Alrighty, Rock My Finances Club is so amazing. Okay, we're
- 18:28Speaker 1: going to dive into our last subject, our last little
- 18:31Speaker 1: content here, empowering you to own your own financial knowledge.
- 18:36Speaker 1: So every time we talk about our financial goals, it's
- 18:39Speaker 1: not just planning for the future, but we're also becoming
- 18:41Speaker 1: more confident and comfortable with our financial decisions. So we
- 18:45Speaker 1: handle money ten times a day, and so we're making
- 18:48Speaker 1: choices every day, all day long around spending money, saving money,
- 18:53Speaker 1: sharing money, whatever we're doing. If we do not feel
- 18:56Speaker 1: confident in that, we're not making the best decisions for ourselves,
- 19:00Speaker 1: planning for our future is hugely important. We also need
- 19:04Speaker 1: to be able to clear out those old beliefs that
- 19:06Speaker 1: might be running our world right now. And the more
- 19:10Speaker 1: we talk about our goals, the more we talk about
- 19:12Speaker 1: communication around money, the more confident we're going to be.
- 19:15Speaker 1: And you can actually build your confidence and make sure
- 19:19Speaker 1: that you're making the right decisions for you at this time.
- 19:23Speaker 1: So the more we have the little money talks, we
- 19:26Speaker 1: build that muscle like I talked about around the financial confidence,
- 19:29Speaker 1: And it's like any other skill, the more you practice,
- 19:31Speaker 1: the stronger and the more self assured you become. We
- 19:34Speaker 1: also want to celebrate. We don't celebrate enough. I have
- 19:37Speaker 1: all my clients do a money dance. Here's my money dance.
- 19:39Speaker 2: Woooo.
- 19:40Speaker 1: Every time something amazing happens, we have a money dance.
- 19:43Speaker 1: I want you to get it in your whole body.
- 19:45Speaker 1: I love my money dance. It's so fun. It could
- 19:48Speaker 1: be simple as easy as I mean. I love to
- 19:52Speaker 1: find things on sale. I love, love love it when
- 19:54Speaker 1: I get a great a great deal or something, and
- 19:58Speaker 1: I want to have that money dance, im accomplishing a
- 20:00Speaker 1: goal of something's coming up, even if I just have
- 20:02Speaker 1: my money date weekly. Yes, I am celebrating myself. So
- 20:07Speaker 1: when we celebrate ourselves, we're giving ourselves serotonin and dopamine.
- 20:11Speaker 1: So don't forget to celebrate, y'all. We really want you
- 20:14Speaker 1: to do that. So thanks for coming to the show.
- 20:17Speaker 1: I hope to see you again. Check out all the
