If you've ever pulled a price out of thin air, matched a competitor without context, or quietly dipped into your savings to sustain your business, you're not alone. Many entrepreneurs struggle not with numbers, but with the stories and habits they've learned about money. Financial behaviorist, coach, and creator of Pricing Made Human®, Jacquette M. Timmons, understands this deeply—and built her work around helping people see the emotional and behavioral patterns tied to their financial choices.In this episode of Branding Room Only, Jacquette and I unpack the real drivers behind pricing, business development, and confidence. She shares how a blunt question from her CPA—“When are you going to stop mortgaging your life?”—forced her to confront her own money patterns, even with an MBA in finance and years managing high-net-worth portfolios. We explore how upbringing, identity, and the desire to be chosen show up in how you charge, negotiate, follow up, and build a sustainable business.If you've ever hesitated to raise your rates, struggled to explain your value, or felt vulnerable during a pitch, this conversation gives you language, context, and strategy to shift how you approach money. You'll walk away with new insight into your relationship with pricing, the role your personal story plays in your financial decisions, and what it takes to protect your financial future while growing your brand.1:41 – What personal brand means to Jacquette, how she (and I) would describe her, her favorite quote, and the musical genre (and DJs) that gets her hyped4:46 – How Jacquette's childhood experiences and environments shaped and influenced her8:35 – Jacquette's surprising early career path and how curiosity about human behavior fueled her focus on money psychology15:16 - How Jacquette helps her clients navigate their relationship with money17:24 – The pivotal question that inspired Pricing Made Human® and how one moment of truth redefined Jacquette's business philosophy24:23 – Two mistakes people make when it comes to pricing or knowing their value26:53 – How business development triggers our insecurities 29:55 – The “five and five” exercise and how relationships influence money and business decisions32:26 – Examples of Jacquette's impact on clients' relationship with money in business development36:49 – The connection between confidence, money, and how you show up professionally38:48 – How Jacquette approaches business development for herself and what she wishes she'd done differently43:12 – What I learned about money and business development from working with Jacquette45:52 – How Jacquette refuses to let the world steal her joy47:19 – Jacquette's commitment to focusing on money's human side and warmth as her magical assetMentioned In Pricing Is Personal: How Your Money Story Shapes Your Personal Brand with Jacquette TimmonsJacquette TimmonsPricing Made Human®More Than Money with Jacquette TimmonsSponsor for this episodePGE Consulting Group LLC empowers individuals and organizations to lead with purpose, presence, and impact.

Maya produced both Shelby and Joel's debut solo albums this year; Joel and Ethan play in Maya's band; and the two couples (Joel & Shelby are married and Ethan & Maya are partners) are all very close friends. They met in Nashville, where Maya & Ethan still live, while Joel & Shelby live in Charleston. Joel talks about the huge gesture Shelby made in leaving Nashville behind for his hometown of Charleston. He also talks about the elated feeling they both got when Shelby, who also used to tour with Della Mae, got the chance to play upright as a member of Molly Tuttle & Golden Highway.Big themes of this friend group include trust, lifting each other up, and being one another's "vibe coaches." In our conversation we talk about choosing love, connecting with your music friends in non-musical ways, and, of course, the most epic hair in Americana: Joel Timmons and his mullet. The group shares insights on how they are still close and able to connect and spend time with each other despite the distance. Short flights and drives are worth it when you've got friends like this.Follow Basic Folk on social media: https://basicfolk.bio.link/Sign up for Basic Folk's newsletter: https://bit.ly/basicfolknewsHelp produce Basic Folk by contributing: https://basicfolk.com/donate/Interested in sponsoring us?

In a world where adulting seems to dominate every hour of the day—deadlines, responsibilities, bills—it's easy to forget that play isn't just for kids. But when it comes to relationships, a playful spirit might just be the secret ingredient to lasting love.Playfulness in romance isn't about acting childish or dodging serious conversations. It's about injecting joy, curiosity, and spontaneity into the everyday. It's about sharing inside jokes that make no sense to anyone else, laughing at each other's ridiculous impressions, and building a connection that can weather the storms of life by dancing in the rain, metaphorically or literally.What Exactly Is Playfulness in a Relationship?Playfulness is the art of keeping things light. It's not a rejection of maturity but rather a bold commitment to finding joy together. It might look like tickle fights in the kitchen, goofy texts in the middle of the workday, or creating absurd nicknames that only you and your partner could ever understand.Research shows that couples who share these light-hearted moments report higher satisfaction, stronger emotional bonds, and even greater resilience in times of stress. In other words, a well-timed joke or a burst of shared silliness can be just as powerful as a heartfelt conversation.I find in my current relationship, and in relationships in the past, the more we are laughing, the better our relationship is doing. The less laughing, things got worse or they were already bad and we just stopped trying (that's past relationships - we are trying to play all the time in my current relationship). The Science Says: Play Is Serious BusinessPlayfulness might sound like fluff, but psychologists have found that it does some heavy lifting behind the scenes in relationships.According to several studies, playfulness strengthens emotional bonds by creating positive associations. When partners laugh and joke together, their brains release dopamine—the feel-good chemical that enhances connection and trust. It also helps defuse tension during conflict, offering a “reset” button when conversations get heated or misunderstandings pop up.Play also opens up space for creativity in communication. When partners feel safe enough to be silly or spontaneous, they're more likely to approach problems with an open mind and a collaborative spirit. This is critical when you've got kids as they present a challenge into themselves.How to Invite More Play Into Your RelationshipSo how does one actually be more playful in a relationship? It doesn't require a clown suit or a full-time comedy routine. It just takes intention and a willingness to break out of autopilot.Here are a few simple ways to get started:1. Embrace the Art of the Inside Joke Every couple has their own language—those shared references, silly phrases, or code words that trigger a smile or an eye roll. Cultivate those. They create a sense of intimacy that feels like a shared secret.2. Create Micro-Moments of Fun You don't need to book a weekend getaway to bring in some levity. Make funny faces across the dinner table. Add a ridiculous twist to your daily routines. Challenge each other to a sock-sliding contest down the hallway. It's the little things that add up.3. Don't Take the Mundane So Seriously Not everything has to be optimized, scheduled, or turned into a life lesson. Dance while doing the dishes. Narrate your errands in the voice of a sports commentator. Be willing to let go of being “normal” in favor of being fully present and absurdly joyful.4. Reconnect With Childhood Joys Board games, old cartoons, blanket forts—there's magic in revisiting the things you loved as a kid. Shared nostalgia not only sparks playfulness but can also lead to surprisingly meaningful conversations about who you were and who you've become.5. Keep the Flirt Alive Flirting isn't just for the early days. It's a playful way to say, “I still choose you.” That wink across the room, the spontaneous compliment, the playful teasing—it's all part of keeping the spark burning bright.The Role of "Ludus Love"Psychologists have identified a type of love known as "Ludus," which centers around play, teasing, and lighthearted flirtation. While it's often associated with more casual relationships, elements of Ludus can be essential even in long-term partnerships. By incorporating humor, spontaneity, and a touch of the unexpected, couples can avoid the trap of predictability and keep things feeling fresh.Playfulness, when paired with trust and emotional safety, can create a dynamic where joy becomes part of the foundation—not just a fleeting mood, but a shared value.What Playfulness Isn'tIt's important to clarify what playful love doesn't mean. It's not sarcasm at your partner's expense. It's not ignoring hard conversations or using jokes to avoid accountability. True playfulness comes from a place of connection, not criticism. It's about lifting each other up, not tearing each other down under the guise of “just kidding.”Why It Matters More Than EverIn an age of chronic stress and over-scheduled calendars, couples often slip into routine. Days blur into weeks, and romance becomes another task to manage. But play cuts through that fog. It reminds us that love doesn't have to be so serious all the time. That joy isn't a luxury—it's a necessity.When couples laugh together, they stay connected. They remember why they chose each other in the first place. They build memories that are filled not just with milestones, but with moments—spontaneous, weird, wonderful moments that don't need to be captured for social media to matter.The TakeawayPlayfulness is more than a nice-to-have. It's a relational superpower. Whether it's through a goofy dance, a made-up game, or a shared laugh at the end of a long day, injecting a little fun into your relationship can deepen your bond, improve communication, and keep the romance alive.So lighten up. Let go of the need to always be productive or polished. Make room for play. Because sometimes, the key to lasting love isn't grand gestures—it's being willing to be a little ridiculous, together.ReferencesAun, Wong, (2002); Antecedents and Consequences of Adult Play in Romantic Relationships; Personal Relationships 9(3), 279-286. https://doi.org/10.1111/1475-6811.00019Baxter, (1992); Forms and Functions of Intimate Play in Personal Relationships; Human Communication Research, 18(3), 336–363. https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1468-2958.1992.tb00556.xBrauer, Proyer, Chick, (2021); Adult playfulness: An update on an understudied individual differences variable and its role in romantic life; Social and Personality Compass; 15(4). https://doi.org/10.1111/spc3.12589 This research paper is summarized in the article How Playfulness Improves Relationships; Psychology Today, August 15, 2024Gold, Timmons, et al (2024); A day in the life: Couples' everyday communication and subsequent relationship outcomes; Journal of Family Psychology, 38(3), 453–465 https://doi.org/10.1037/fam0001180 This research paper is summarized in the article How Playfulness Keeps a Romance Alive; Psychology Today, April 18, 2024.Metz, McCarty, (2007); The “Good-Enough Sex” model for couple sexual satisfaction; Sexual and Relationship Therapy 22(3), 351–362https://doi.org/10.1080/14681990601013492 Proyer, Ruch, (2011); The virtuousness of adult playfulness: the relation of playfulness with strengths of character; Psychology of Well-Being 1(4). https://doi.org/10.1186/2211-1522-1-4 This is a public episode.

"Toxic empathy" is in the news, the idea that we can cause harm by being over-sensitive to others. But, wait: Jesus was known for his empathy, even though he wasn't easy on sin.
