He explained that the fire was the costliest in US history and the worst natural disaster in California's history. Arjang also discussed the financial challenges many in the community faced, as insurance coverage was insufficient and government aid was delayed. He mentioned that some people had no insurance, and even those who did were underinsured, covering only a third or a quarter of the value of their homes. Arjang also highlighted the issue of not having access to their equity in the building for an unknown period. Dr. shared their experience as a therapist and their understanding of how people cope with different types of disasters. They highlighted the importance of community support and the resilience of individuals in the face of adversity. Arjang discussed the emotional impact of losing possessions during an evacuation. He shared his experience of losing oil paintings, Persian rugs, and other cherished items, emphasizing the importance of taking as much as possible during an evacuation. He encouraged everyone to allow their emotions to surface and to face them, as he has done with his family. Arjang shared his experience of losing his home to a wildfire and how he managed to stay calm and focused during the crisis. He used his coaching skills to support a client during a session and then proceeded with a seminar on maintaining peace and happiness despite his challenges. Arjang emphasized that emotional state is a personal choice and that he had used tools and insights to cope with the situation. Arjang emphasized the importance of understanding that our emotions are not solely determined by our circumstances but rather by how we interpret and think about those circumstances. He shared that this understanding gives us control over our emotions and responses rather than being at the mercy of external factors. He encouraged using this inner power to handle any challenge, as he believes that we are all capable of handling any situation that comes our way. Arjang emphasized the importance of spiritual connection and gratitude in overcoming these challenges. He shared a personal experience of losing his home to a fire and how the outpouring of love and support from the community and government agencies helped him cope. Arjang also highlighted the significance of focusing on the good and blessings in life rather than just the challenges. He suggested practicing gratitude and acceptance to foster happiness and resilience. Arjang discussed four fundamental keys to resilience: accessing inner power, focusing on what one is grateful for, accepting challenges, and using challenges for personal growth. Dr. emphasized the importance of focusing on resilience and the power of love and generosity in healing and supporting others.

In this episode, we explore the challenges of financial conversations in relationships, focusing on the importance of mutual understanding, confidence, and emotional awareness. We discuss how emotional factors, like the mental load of managing finances, can impact these talks and share ways to help both partners feel involved and informed. Our guest, Adam Kol of The Couples Financial Coach, brings valuable insights on how to navigate these conversations. Tune in to discover how empowering both partners with financial knowledge can transform your relationship and finances. Meet Adam! Adam Kol is The Couples Financial Coach. He helps couples go from financial overwhelm or fighting to clarity, teamwork, and peace of mind. Adam is a Certified Financial Therapist-I™, Certified Mediator, and Tax Attorney with a Duke Law degree and a Master's in Tax Law from NYU. He is a husband, dad, and musician, as well. Adam's wisdom has been shared with The Wall Street Journal, the Baltimore Ravens, CNBC, NewsNation, and more. “Your partner wants to connect with you about finances. It may seem like they don't, and you might convince yourself that they don't. They do. They may not realize that they're avoiding it or why, but they do because it has such a profound effect on the lives that we live. I mean, it really touches every aspect, from how we raise our families to what we do for jobs, to the kind of food we eat, to the kind of things we have, etc. So your partner does want to feel like they can connect with you. It's just that people don't feel confident in that a lot of times, partly because it is true that money is still a taboo. But keep in mind that this is something where you both will feel a lot better if you're on the same page.” - Adam Kol Book Recommendation: * Financial Intimacy for Couples: How to Achieve Clarity, Teamwork, and Peace of Mind With Your Money, by Adam Kol.

Why would someone with decades of experience as a family law attorney and family court judge choose to pursue training as a divorce coach? We invited Chandlee Kuhn, a student in our current cohort, to share her perspective and give you some insights.Chandlee J. Kuhn is the retired Chief Judge of the Family Court for the State of Delaware. Chief Judge Kuhn recently joined the Family Law Advice Center (FLAC), a limited representation law practice. In her legal role, Judge Kuhn evaluates legal matters and advises clients regarding their Family Court matters. She also coaches her clients to navigate the ups and downs of the legal process and life after Family Court. Judge Kuhn is a Certified Mediator for the Delaware Family Court and the Delaware Superior Court and has devoted her career to serving the community through numerous local and national boards and organizations, including as a Director of the National Council of Juvenile and Family Court Judges, the Executive Committee of the Supreme Court of Delaware, the Delaware Court on the Judiciary, the Child Protection Accountability Commission, the Domestic Violence Coordinating Council, and the Criminal Justice Council of Delaware.Those are some serious credentials, so we had to ask ... why divorce coach training? Not only does Chandlee have a love of learning, but as she transitions her work with clients to a limited law practice that doesn't litigate, she wanted to have the ability to both approach her cases from a new perspective and market her practice differently.As an attorney, she is used to giving advice and telling clients what to do. She says one of her biggest AHA moments so far has been that in divorce coaching we teach our clients to navigate for themselves. She's looking forward to letting the client lead their own journey of self-discovery and trust that they have their own answers.Chandlee was attracted to the DCA certification program because we are aligned with the ABA definition of divorce coaching as a method of alternative dispute resolution. She recommends coaching training to other divorce professionals because she believes it will allow them to get more satisfaction from a field that can be extremely draining.You can reach Chandlee at: cjkuhn@flacdelaware.comYou can learn more about DCA™ or find out about any of the classes or events mentioned in this episode at the links below:Website: www.divorcecoachesacademy.comInstagram: www.instagram.com/divorcecoachesacademyLinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/company/divorce-coaches-academyEmail: DCA@divorcecoachesacademy.com

[Explicit Content] Today, Ed is joined by Adam Kol, The Couples Financial Coach. He helps couples go from financial overwhelm or tension to clarity, peace of mind, and teamwork. Adam brings experience as a Certified Mediator, Tax Attorney, and Financial Advisor to his financial counseling for couples. He graduated from Duke Law and has a Master's in Tax Law from NYU. He also hosts the Couples Financial Coach Podcast. In this conversation, Adam breaks down his process for determining where a couple is on their journey to a healthier shared relationship with money, and then getting them to the point where every discussion around money feels safe and inviting. His goal with every couple he counsels is threefold: to change how they see themselves, to change how they see their partner, and to change how they see their relationship. The key to seeing these changes comes down to developing a greater understanding of self and other. Adam encourages couples to create the space to be vulnerable and imperfect with each other, all while taking care to not blame one another for any money-related issue. In other words, it all it starts with taking 100% responsibility for our words and actions. Finally, Adam also shares that, despite differences in financial backgrounds or cultural attitudes toward money, the most important thing that couples can do to heal their relationship with money is to share with each other, and listen intently. Key Topics: Making money conversations feel safe and inviting between partners (04:50) Men, money, and overcoming unconscious biases (10:28) The negativity bias (19:47) Money and trauma (24:31) Taking 100% responsibility for your words and actions (30:10) Complementing each other in your shared money relationship (38:22) Counseling couples in cross-class marriages or with different financial backgrounds (45:14) Key takeaways (52:18) Resources: Learn more about Adam Kol at www.couplesfinancialcoach.com The Couples Financial Coach Podcast Healthy Love and Money Resources: Healthy Love and Money Website The Couples Guide to Financial Intimacy Healthy Love and Money Facebook Healthy Love and Money Instagram Healthy Love and Money LinkedIn The Healthy Love & Money Way: How the Four Attachment Styles Impact Your Financial Well-Being (book) Stop Fighting & Start Talking: Gaining Peace and Perspective on Family Finances (book)

The list of what women were allowed to do in the professional world sixty years ago is limited to secretarial duties. Fortunately, there were those emboldened and audacious few who ignored all the limitations of the time to carve new inroads for their own fulfillment, and leave doors open behind them to give access to the women who would follow. Jane Bradley was raised on a sprawling, working ranch in New Mexico and empowered by her cowboy father to go places no woman of her time had ever gone. You can't command those prices for your paintings, you're a woman. But she did. You can't open a gallery on the world-famous Canyon Road in Santa Fe, you're a woman. But she did. Tired of having to drive all the way to Dallas for art supplies she opened an art supply store, that in its first year became the anchor store in what was then, Santa Fe's newest outdoor mall. From being one of the earliest Executive Directors of Genesis Business Incubator, University of Arkansas, to moving to Russia to manage a Russian football team, to remaining in Russia during perestroika and working with technology transfer, to returning to New Mexico to found a series of successful businesses, Jane has always made her own rules and done it her own way. Along the path she has spent many years sharing the wisdom gained as a serial entrepreneur by mentoring those who would come up behind her. Join Lesley and Jane for a fascinating conversation into everything from the power and necessity of mentoring to daring to create new pathways. Jane Bradley is a third generation New Mexican. The love of art and a natural talent made a BFA a natural choice. After success as a studio artist and gallery owner in Santa Fe, Jane became intrigued by the process of business. This interest led to additional education followed by other varying and successful business endeavors. The ability to teach and share has been ongoing and a constant in Jane's life. Curiosity is the one word that most clearly defines Jane's life. This curiosity has led to many personal and professional successes. From moving to a small hamlet in Arkansas with prince charming - to becoming the Executive Director of the Genesis Business Incubator at the University of Arkansas - to moving on to Russia during perestroika and working with technology transfer - to returning to the much loved and missed New Mexico, each new challenge was attacked with enthusiasm and determination . Jane was honored and humbled to be named one of the Most Influential Women in New Mexico in 2016 and to have been awarded the governor's award for Outstanding woman - 2009 Certified Mediator for the Municipal court system working with Juvenile offenders and Parent/teen conflict resolution.

My guest today, Deborah Ivanoff is a Master Business Coach, Certified Mediator, Speaker, Author & Facilitator. She helps people resolve the delicate "business in their heart" so they can "get back to their business" in the world. Her signature approach addresses the root challenges that keep high-achieving people from the success and fulfillment they know they deserve. With her “inner to outer” approach, Deborah's happy clients and fans lovingly refer to her as “The Being Coach.” “Negative” emotions are not bad—though many of us have been taught the opposite—but, as Deborah says, “they will keep you stuck where you've always been, until you learn how to use them.” We discussed ways to coach ourselves through those bad times, like so bad you think you can't breathe bad. Deborah's divorce took seven long years during which time she had to raise two little kids and support herself. In the worst of the chaos she had a spark of genius—or intuition. She realized that if she wanted to have the kind of relationship with her children that she'd dreamed of, she would have to find a way to get up out of the pit of anger and despair she felt. And she did and it became her life's work to help others do the same. We talked about how the mean girl is always on call and how to tame her or at least shut her down rather than allowing her to run the show. Deborah actually has conversations with hers but speaks to her as she would anyone who needs attention or help; kindly and as a coach. You can do this on paper if talking to yourself isn't your thing. And often this mean girl is running the same song over and over. Deborah says it's a pattern. And most of the mean girl taunts, or negative things we play over and over were given to us by someone when we were young. We don't question these limiting suggestions, like “Who do you think you are?” or “You're not so smart.” The importance of the question, “is this really what it seems to be?” In the heat of a moment things can feel insurmountable. Are they really? We talked about releasing emotions, positive and negative and being comfortable doing it. Oh, and about the time I threw a chair an an ex… What do you do to release stress, reconnect with your happy place? For Deborah it's nature. Me too! But I also love Brain.FM and Headspace for guided or unguided short meditations.

In this episode, Adam tells us about how many couples make common mistakes such as trying to go straight to the numbers rather than looking at them in the context of goals. Money is one of the leading causes of divorce, especially in blended families. "You want to create a sense of trust and safety when talking about money." "The number one blended family financial mistake is trying to figure out everything all at once--instead pick one topic/priority and get clarity on that first." "When having these conversations, start with a common point of wanting what is best for the kids." Begin a money talk by sharing your experiences with money: what did you like/dislike? habits? etc. Then get clear on your financial situation. Finally, look at your financial goals and how to prioritize them. Links: Website: https://ahkcoaching.com/ Free Diagnostic Quiz: https://ahkcoaching.com/quiz

Recent disasters and the growing number of open insurance claims are creating renewed interest in an alternative to costly litigation in resolving claims disputes: mediation.While claim frequency is down, claim cost is way up – more than five times what it was 20 years ago. Unnecessary and abusive litigation, including Assignment of Benefits (AOB) contracts, has contributed to growing claim cost in Florida.Host Lisa Miller, a former deputy insurance commissioner, sat down with Bruce Blitman, a Certified Mediator, Arbitrator, and Umpire, to learn what role mediation can play in successfully resolving these claims. Show NotesBruce Blitman was one of the first Florida Supreme Court certified circuit-civil mediators and has practiced since 1989. He was an associate with several law firms prior to becoming a mediator. “What really makes this process work is that you have all of the decision-makers present at the same time, at the same place, in the same room, much earlier on in the process before all of the time and the money and aggravation have been invested in the case. So there's a tremendous opportunity to resolve cases when you're getting to them earlier on in the process,” said Blitman on the podcast.Mediation in Florida dates back 30 years. Initial skepticism has given way to acceptance over the years, as lawyers on both sides have gotten more practiced in the mediation process, according to Blitman.“Lawyers found they were able to either put more money into their clients' pockets at an earlier stage of the process or if they were insurance carrier representatives, they could save money by putting that money into the plaintiff's pocket without litigation costs,” Blitman said. As a result, mediation has become a way to more efficiently move claims and for courts to move dockets.Host Lisa Miller was an insurance regulator during 1992's Hurricane Andrew and the eight hurricanes in 2003-2004 that also struck Florida. She suggested in the podcast that state officials initiate formal mediation centers sooner after major hurricanes strike. “After a storm hits, we should consider having immediate mediation on the disputed amount of the claim,” said Miller.Florida law requires insurance companies to pay the undisputed amount of a claim to the policyholder within 90 days of receiving the claim. Blitman said he's a proponent as well of pre-lawsuit mitigation in such claims, a process that worked “very well” through a catastrophe mediation program set-up in Miami-Dade County following Hurricane Andrew.“There was an enormous amount of claims considered. Not every case was resolved at mediation, but many of them were,” he shared. “And by getting through that vast volume, people were able to get on with their lives much more quickly.” Blitman also noted that many insurance companies became more proactive with mediation going forward.Miller referenced recent Florida legislative committee testimony that almost 40-cents of every dollar involved in a litigated paid claim goes to the plaintiff's lawyer, not including court fees and the cost of defense counsel. Blitman said such plaintiff contingency fees are typically only 20% to 25% if the claim doesn't go to litigation. Mediators, he said, are paid hourly, ranging from $150-700 per hour based on the complexity of the case.“If you can resolve a case within five hours of mediation, with both parties splitting the mediator's fee, those fees are relatively small in comparison to what it would cost to litigate that case endlessly,” Blitman said. He noted that the Florida Department of Financial Services has a roster of mediators available to help resolve different kinds of insurance claims disputes.The podcast also addressed Florida House Bill 337 which was signed into law last spring and becomes effective on January 1, 2020. By raising the dollar threshold of disputes (from $15,000 to $30,000), it will shift court cases that are now heard in circuit court to be heard instead in county court. Miller and Blitman discussed the impact of having a lot more insurance disputes going into civil court, which generally have more limited resources than circuit courts. In fact, 31 of Florida's 67 counties only have one county court judge. Many of those counties are in the Florida Panhandle and there is concern of logjams created by the 150,000 Hurricane Michael claims. “I think it's in the best interest of all consumers that we do everything we can to keep claims out of the court system,” said host Miller. “Mediation, with the right attitude and skill set going into it by all parties, can be a very useful approach to create a ‘win-win' by all parties to an insurance claims dispute.”Links and Resources Mentioned in This Episodewww.BruceBlitmanEsquire.com Mediation and Neutral Evaluation Assistance (Florida Department of Financial Services Division of Consumer Services)Ten Tips for Getting the Most Out of Your Mediation Process (by Bruce Blitman, Esq.)Court Jurisdictional Limits (Florida HB 337, now law)Insurance Research Council Report Finds Rapid Increase in Cost of Homeowners Insurance Claims, Despite a Drop in Claim Frequency (The Institutes, September 30, 2019)Assignment of Benefits (AOB) (Lisa Miller & Associates)** The Listener Call-In Line for your recorded questions and comments to air in future episodes is 850-388-8002 or you may send email to LisaMiller@LisaMillerAssociates.com ** The Florida Insurance Roundup from Lisa Miller & Associates, brings you the latest developments in Property & Casualty, Healthcare, Workers' Compensation, and Surplus Lines insurance from around the Sunshine State.

Uh, which is, I specialize in working with couples who as you said, I mean they're in a relationship, things are going pretty well. Um, just money is a difficult topic for them. I mean I've also worked with couples who are having more avoidance or fights around money. Um, I've even had couples come to me on the verge of divorce, as intense as that and I've been able to help them get back to being best friends again while also paying off a ton of debt and getting businesses restarted and all kinds of wonderful outcomes. Uh, my goal is to help people and couples come together, get closer, more intimacy, more connection, more love and more partnership. And I actually do that through working on their money stuff, helping them talk about money, helping them understand their own relationship to money. And I like to use art as well to help people kind of draw out their own interrelationship to money so that they can use that to further their partnership with their significant other. Yep. That's great. Because, you know, we each have to work on our own money mindsets, but then when you're with a couple of, you know, you, you have to work, you both have to work on the individual mindset and then work together. So that's a pretty, um, pretty big task to try and work on your own mindset and then drain other on it. So, so what is the number one thing that couples can do to work together on their finances? Yeah, I mean, the number one thing is, is talk and listen, right? Like, um, the money is an area of life and relationships. Just like so many others in our minds, it's, we kind of separate it and make it as if it's somehow really distinct. Maybe because we're afraid of the numbers and maybe because we didn't grow up talking about money. It's a taboo topic. We're afraid of it. There's some shame around it. All of which is very common. Um, but the biggest thing is to talk, so your partner, share your thoughts, share your fears, share your hopes and dreams and ask them about theirs and listen to theirs. Right. And, um, a lot of times what I see is that couples will get caught up in, uh, some something on the surface level. Like, oh, we shouldn't have spent $45 on this item. And what's really missing is that they are not align, they're not on the same page. And the way to get there is through that talking and through that listening. And so I always tell people to, you know, dream together. So just like you said, you know, make sure or work on your goals and have the same like big goal. Um, and you know, a lot of times, and um, correct me if I'm wrong on your aspect and how you see things with working with couples is, um, I totally where I was going with that. Oh, compromise. You know, sometimes you just have to compromise a little bit because you know, especially if both people think that they need to be right or their way is the right way. Um, and it is just kinda like compromising a little bit, giving a little bit both of them so that they can come together and work on the [inaudible] bigger picture. And so like you said, you know, worrying about like the smaller amounts but focus on the big things. Yeah, absolutely. And of course each situation is different. And for some couples, the, you know, the smaller things may be important if you're living paycheck to paycheck or really struggling. Um, and that happens a lot to families in the u s uh, but it's like about having that, like you said, those shared dreams. And um, I once said like, there's not right or wrong in relationships. There's just intimacy and you know, there's this point where you're like, well, what is right? What is wrong? Like, who, not to be all philosophical, but it's like, is that really what matters? Right? We get caught up in it because we're human and we have an ego and it's our blessing and our curse. And yet like to be able to step back and say, okay, is how I'm showing up right now in service of the kind of partner I want to be in, the kind of relationship I want to have. Right? And it's okay if the answer's no because again, you're human and we all have times where we show up, not the self we really want to be. However, to be able to be in that inquiry, that self reflection, notice it and then step back and be able to be like, whoa, take a breath. Go to your partner and be like, I'm sorry I was kind of being a butthead. Right? And, um, can we revisit this? Because you love your partner, you have shared, you want to live your best lives individually and as a couple and as a family if you have one. Right? So the point is to get over there, right? Not to necessarily be right or wrong. Um, and that just the best way to get there, like I said, is just to take a breath, step back, take a look at your behavior. As I once saw someone say like, am I in like a space of love right now? Am I coming from love or am I coming from like fear? Right? And if you, the more you can come from love, the better your is going to be. And then by the time you get down to the budgeting, then it'll be seamless to implement the expertise of whatever you're doing in your budget or someone like your programs. Because if you're on the same page and there's no resistance, now it's just a matter of doing the work. Absolutely. So where, where should couples start when they can't agree on how to manage their money or their budget? Like when they're just butting heads. Like what is some advice that you would give a couple that comes to you and they just cannot seem to agree on how to handle their money? Yeah, it's a great question and it's very right. And this is something that cuts across the income and like class categories, no matter how much people are making or not, they will often still have this struggle. Um, and the first place that I like to go with couples is to have them each do a little bit of digging into their own money mindset and then share that with each other because it's a safe entryway to the money conversation. See, a lot of people are used to either not having money conversations or when they do, they're like super awkward, super uncomfortable. They may lead to a lot of arguing or tension. And so I like to get it started by getting a healthy conversation under your belt. And when you're just talking about your own history with money in your own past, there's not really anything to argue about. It's just kind of like, here's how it was for me growing up. This is some of the messages I internalized about money based on Xyz, based on my family, based on my gender or my race or whatever, and the societal norms and stuff like that. You know, I find that to be a pretty safe conversation for people to get started with. Um, and the other thing is to just have the courage to ask for a conversation with your significant other. And to frame it in a constructive way. Like it's not like, hey, we need to talk about our budget. Right? It's actually like, you know what, I love you. I want to have the best possible life together. We can. And money I know is an important part of that. And I'm a little bit anxious because we haven't been talking about it or are actively managing it. So like when can we have a conversation about that? Right. Something like that that actually frames it. So they see that your teammates, right. Cause a lot of times, like you said, they're having trouble managing their money together. It starts to feel like they're in opposition to each other. Like they're kinda not rowing in the same direction and just reasserting like, hey, we're talking about this because we're teammates because we're looking to both have great lives. Like, I want a great life for myself and I want a great life for you as my partner who I love. Um, so really just creating that context is powerful. Yes. I love that. That's really great advice. So what tips, um, just to kind of flow into the next topic, this is kind of related then, is what tips would you have for couples to kind of goal plan together? So once they get like on the same mindset or they, you know, maybe understand each other's mindset a little bit better and then moving forward to the next step, you know, goal planning so that they are working together toward the same goal. Yeah, just like be inside of like love and curiosity within four and about each other. Like, because it's very common for people to not even, we don't even know what we want, knowing what our partners want. Um, and that's an inquiry that is ongoing and changes over time. Um, so just really creating the space to have that conversation. If you've never had it before, you know, it doesn't have to be painful or exacting. It's just like whatever intimacy looks like for you and your partner, you know, do that. Some people, it's light a candle or open a glass of wine or have a nice meal or just cuddle on the couch, you know, whatever it is, create that space where your care for each other as present for both of you. And then just talk about it. Um, and one thing I've been playing with and just kind of an idea that I've had that I tossed out to my girlfriend recently came out of one of my coaching calls, um, is to play with different scenarios. Like be like, what if we did this? Because sometimes I feel like we have this pressure that we have to just somehow magically know what our top choices, like what we want. And it almost like we have to call Alessa out of thin air versus being like, okay, what if we like worked 50 hours a week now and then retired when we were 55 versus like, you know, working 40 hours a week now and like retiring when we're 65. Like how do you think about those two? Right? And it's not that life is necessarily gonna go exactly that way, but it's always powerful to have a plan and you can always adjust. But like, you know, actually kind of sketch out some different ideas or scenarios and then talk through what are your thoughts on something like that. How does that make you feel? What would be not so good about that? What would be really awesome about that? Right. And ask these like, I like to call them, well they're called open ended questions where it's not like a yes or no question because it's like you want to retire at 55 is like a yes or no answer and that's fine sometimes, but it's like, what are your thoughts on retirement? Or like, tell me about how you think about when you want to retire or like what are the important considerations for you around retirement, right. You give the other person this like expansive space where they can really think for themselves and, uh, get a richer response. Yeah. And just kinda dream together. You know, my husband and I, um, you know, with building my business and really wanting to make this like a fulltime thing possibly even for both of us and you know, we sit and we dream about what if we got an RV and just traveled out west and just traveled the country and you know, just having the freedom to be able to do whatever we wanted to because you know, with, with my job in podcast and a blog and all that, I can, you know, as long as I have a computer and Internet I can go anywhere. So, you know, just being able to like dream with your partner about different ideas of what you might want to do or do want to do in the future and Kinda like how to make that happen. I think that is great. Absolutely. I love what you're visioning as well with your husband and you know, I encourage listeners, I give yourself and your your significant other like complete latitude, like even ideas that might seem ludicrous or like, oh I don't know, we can't do that. Just dream. Just let them just let the words flow, let the ideas flow. Even if all you get is a temporary feeling of excitement and like that excitement and nervousness and the liveliness, right you've been, that is a beautiful thing to experience. But um, just let the ideas flow. You never know. I mean, I was, I have a couple I'm working with. They came to me like their relationships great, but money is uncomfortable for them. They've been slacking on tracking it. Um, and so they wanted some support in that area. And where the conversation actually flowed was too, that each of them is underpaid in their current jobs. And in having them examine that and uh, get coached to the point where they can go have a conversation with their boss. It's just like transpired. All these different things have transpired and now the wife is like, I actually don't know if I want to stay at this job. I might even want to change careers. There's some interest in starting my own business or even going back and taking some classes and then, yeah, that's true. We're not tied to the bay area anymore. If I'm not gonna work at that job, we could go wherever we want, like our husband's job. There's opportunities for him everywhere. And now they're just like thinking, right. They're like, maybe we're gonna get like a beach house in Monterey and go live there and like, awesome. And I don't know where it's going to go. It's up to them. Right. But they have now seen so much of what's possible doing this work. Yeah. And they're excited about it now where when they came to you, they were, you know, stressed out and fighting and now they are dreaming together and seeing what's possible for their future. And that's, you know, that's what I want for people. That's so exciting. Yeah. In fact, like, you know, there's folks like, you actually were like the budgeting experts and while I budget with my clients, my expertise is really on that emotional communication mindset, coaching piece of it. And like what tends to happen with my clients is like, I'll send them a budget template to fill in, but then they just do it themselves. And like with this couple that I was referencing though, I was like, yeah, now like when I do the budget, I'm, I'm super excited. It's not like stressful anymore. I just do it cause it's like I know that it's helping us achieve our goals. I'm like, okay, awesome. Great. Yeah. Cause the, you know, it's really just the foundation or the stepping stone to getting, you know, what their big picture, their dream, you know, and that's, that's awesome that it's not stressful and overwhelming now because they have something to look forward to and something that they're working for. That's awesome. Yeah. Yeah. I love it. They're awesome. So what, um, so I get this a lot. Like even when, um, you know, somebody, they come to me, we're working on managing their money. Um, they get the budget done. They, they are excited about it, but then their spouse just is so reluctant they won't get on board with the budget. They sabotage it. Like they still take the debit card and they go to the gas station. Like they're still spending, even though you know, they need to work together. What is your advice for somebody that's like working really hard to do what they've done? The ground work, you know, they've laid it all out, the PR, you know, the spouse may be like, okay, I'm good with that. But then they turn around and they sabotage the budget anyway. Like what is your advice for a couple that is, that is dealing with that they're just one, one partner is just completely sabotaging it or not. I'm not, they're not on the same page, but they're just recklessly spending still. While one is trying really hard to manage the money better. Yeah. Yeah. Great question. And I mean there's almost like a couple of questions in there. Um, but if the, you know, I guess I'll, I'll answer kind of like two questions that I heard. The first one is if one partner is struggling to have like the other person's not on board in general, then that's really where some of the things I've been talking about through this call and some of the other things I talk about, like on my youtube videos there are just really helpful for getting the conversation started. Because my recommendation is always, especially if you share funds with your partner, if you two live together, if you're planning a future together, then have like get them on board, right? These are conversations you should be having with both of you as far as creating your goals and your visions and your budget to implement that. So that, you know, that's really the first place and that's just where getting in their world, understanding what's going on for them. And even if you have to, like I said, that framing of, look, I want to have a great life with you and I know this is an important part of it. Um, so when's a good time to have the conversation? Not like, do you want to talk about it? Like we need to talk about it. And you know, there's, I was at a, on a panel earlier this week and, or I guess it was technically last week now I got asked a very similar question to this and I said, you know, we need to expect our partners to be on board for these conversations just because it's been a taboo topic and past generations that doesn't work because we're missing out on our opportunity to thrive. And it's creating anxiety and resentment and fear and worry and tension and fighting. It's number one cause of fights and relationships. It's the number one or number two cause of divorce in every study I've ever seen. Uh, at least for like us marriages. And this is a country with a huge divorce rate. So this is not some small beans, small potatoes, whatever you want to call it, kind of issue. This is something that needs to be tackled. And so you like, you got to come at it with that, right? The same way you come at it with like talking about where to live or where to have children or if there were challenges in your like intimate life. Like if those things, the same degree of seriousness with which you take those because of how much they matter to the integrity of your relationship, I think money's the same way. And you know, there's no one way to do it, but holding your partner to account, like, look, we gotta be talking about this. This is an essential issue that touches every aspect of our lives. You want to buy a home? How are we going to do that without being on the same page financially? You want to have kids, how are we going to do that without being on the same page financially? You want to retire? How are we going to do that without being on the same page, financially start a business, et Cetera, right? It is that important. Um, and of course every day we're spending money. Every day we have bills to pay. Every day we buy lunch or groceries or whatever. So my, it's like we need to be holding our partners to account like, we need to talk about this. Right? Um, and you know, if they're hesitant, of course you want to bring compassion and love, you know, like why, you know, what comes up for you around this? Why, you know, where do you think your hesitancy comes from? Or like, why don't you like it? Um, you know, and there's, that's where having them do some mindset work and understanding their money story can be really powerful because there's a reason they don't want to talk about it. You know, like for example, men, we're socialized that our value is in providing for our family. And so if we feel like a conversation is implying that we're not doing that job well, um, not at a conscious level even, but like unconsciously, it just triggers like a sense of shame. Like, we're not good enough. We're not doing what we're supposed to do as a man. And that becomes like an existential crisis. Even though the man may be completely unaware that this is what's happening for him, it's nevertheless often what's happening. And so, you know, to be able to traverse that bridge and get to the other side is not always easy, but it takes some listening, some questions, some empathy, some understanding and some patients, um, and uh, of course women have their own ways that they're socialized about money. And that's like I said before, it's not just about gender, it's about race and sexual orientation. All of this stuff plays into how we see ourselves and how other people see us money. And so, uh, it takes a nuanced approach to really break through those barriers. Um, but the number one thing is to keep bringing your love, your empathy, your curiosity to that person. And it's honestly the same answer as if they're sabotaging the budget even if they agreed to it. Right. Cause if you just got them like you agreed to this budget and now you're sabotaging it, I mean you can, you know how that's going to go. It's not saying you shouldn't hold them accountable right in that spot. It's more like, hey, you know, I feel really like you want to kind of own your feelings. Like, I feel really anxious when I'm ICU using the debit card because we had agreed not to and this plan is really important for our future. So I get scared. We're not going to be able to have the life we want. I'm like, can you tell me what's going on there for you? Right. Like, ask an open ended question again. Like, can you tell me what's happening there for you? Like, or you know, like in a non accusatory way, just as much as, as neutrally as possible. Right. Because there's a reason they use that debit card. They may not know it, but there's some sort of reason that they did. Right. Um, maybe they just don't like being told what to do. Right. And again, that's an unconscious thing. And so they're acting out kind of like a teenager, but that's cause it's like, you know, childhood crap that, Ooh, excuse my language, but childhood that hasn't been, uh, hasn't been dealt with. Right. Um, and so there's a lot of important work to do around mindset, which is a lot of the work you're doing, which is why it's so great. It's really important to examine that stuff. That's great. I hadn't even thought about some of the subconscious things like that, so I'm really glad that you mentioned that. Um, so do you have any resources that you would recommend for couples? Um, either your stuff or you know, stuff that you highly recommend to kind of maybe help them work together to get on the same page? Books or workbooks or anything like that? Yeah, absolutely. So, uh, one place that you can find me is I have a Facebook community. It's totally free and there's, we're having all kinds of conversations like this all the time. It's called money and marriage, but instead of the word and it's not written out, it's the like symbol, the ampersand, some money and marriage a and for sure if you go and join there, let, let me know that you heard about me through this podcast and uh, that'll be exciting to see. And I partnered there with another financial coaches and expert with couples and she's more the tactical and practical expert and I'm the more emotional and communication experts. So we provide a real full spectrum of content there. Um, and I have, uh, another thing, uh, that I put together and perhaps we can link to it in the show notes or something like that is a, I call it the essential money conversation checklist. And so it's just eight steps that you want to take in each money conversation and you know, they're not what you'd think up front. You might kind of have a feel for what they are after listening to me speak here. But it's about like getting connected to your partner, making sure you're hearing and validating their feelings and then sharing your own and making sure that they understand where you're coming from. And then from there, once you two are actually on the same page emotionally and you're actually in partnership, that you really from there start to look for what compromise might be like, um, rather than trying to jump to it. You know, that's the number one thing I see couples want to go straight to the action items. And a lot of times there's some work beforehand that could really make it more powerful and more long lasting. So I'll definitely put that link out there for you all. You got the money and marriage Facebook group and if there's anybody listening who's like, you know what, I'd really love to work with Adam directly. I work with couples in a wide range of situations. Like I said, even people come to me where it's a really serious challenging topic that's leading to a lot of fights, intention, happy to work with you. Also couples who are like our relationships, great. Money's just a kind of difficult topic. We don't know a lot about it. Um, also work with those couples and uh, have specific content for engaged couples to plan the wedding, make sure that they are sticking to their budget, talk to the family about the spendings and families usually chip in and uh, also to help them merge their finances with their fiance. And then I have also a specific content for a first time home buyers to be able to get on the same page with their partner for what's gonna be the biggest and longest purchase of your life. You know, you want to make sure that front end. So I help people get on the same page with that and get on top of their finances. Oh, that's great. I will link to all those in the show notes as well. And just one last question. I like to always ask people what their favorite nonfiction book is. So whether it's, you know, related to couples of money or just something, um, you know, some kind of self-help improvement life improvement book. Uh, I probably should've warned you before so you could think about it. In college I took a course, I minored in philosophy and I took a course on the philosophy of science and I read a book called the structure of scientific revolutions. I think it's Thomas Kune and it was such like an incredible study of how scientific theories, uh, evolve and become the accepted theory. And then when the data starts to not, uh, fit, then how there's like this kind of interesting process that seems to repeat itself. And uh, then they eventually get replaced by a new theory that fits the data better. And I don't know, something about the way the world works and the way humans operate and like how there's like the zealots of the old theory and they try and cling to it even though the data's no longer fitting it and they try and change it to fit the data. And it's like, it just is a fascinating study of human psychology for sure. Um, but also right now I'm like reading, let's see how far into it I am. I just picked it up off of my table like maybe a quarter of the way through this book called the wisdom of insecurity by Alan Watts. And it's a remarkable piece. Like I can only read a couple pages at a time. It's just such a, so much depth of [inaudible]. I don't even know the book. It's really, it's really just about the nature of how life is fundamentally insecure and like, and uncertain and how we grasp for certainty and how that actually causes so much of our pain and suffering and about that we can actually live in love live in the moment live now if we relinquish that desire. And for me, someone who has dealt with a lot of anxiety and desire for security, that's a big, a kind of growth edge as they call it these days, like a place for me to expand. So I'm really getting a ton every time I pick up that book. That sounds really interesting and we're going to have to check that out. Yeah. Well thanks for coming on today. Do you have any last words of wisdom? You know, um, my pleasure. Again, thank you for having me. Um, what I really want to impart to the world is that having these dialogues can bring you closer in your relationships and people kind of stay away from the money conversation because they think it's going to go poorly and, um, they're going to just end up uncomfortable or fighting. And the truth is right. Like if you don't talk about it, that's what's going to eat away at your intimacy in your relationship, let alone your finances could very well be worse off. But it's by having these conversations and having them in a constructive, productive way, which is what, of course I am to support people in doing that, you can actually have a better life, stronger relationships, more freedom financially, and actually live in a line, a way that's more aligned with your values and your goals. That's awesome. Well, thank you so much for coming. It was such a pleasure to talk with you. My pleasure as well. Thanks, Ashley. Thanks. Special Guest: Adam H. Kol, J.D. .
