Show Notes
This week, Brad & Monnica dive into one of the most emotional parts of marriage: money.
From a running joke about Monnica’s Starbucks “Been There” mug collection to the uneasy 7/4 groove of Pink Floyd’s “Money,” they unpack why finances feel so personal - and how income, identity, and old stories shape power in a relationship.
They talk honestly about switching roles over the years, carrying the financial load at different times, and the “hidden hierarchies” that show up when paychecks aren’t equal.
What they discovered? Partnership isn’t 50/50 - it’s the balance of presence, honesty, and shared purpose over time.
They also share a family update in this week’s Hi/Lo and reflect on how real wealth is agency, trust, and building a life together on your own terms.
If this one hits close to home, send a message, they love hearing what resonates.
Stay kind. Stay curious. And may your coffee be strong and your conversations stronger.
