What if the way you communicate about money is affecting more than just your bank account?
In this episode of Becoming Emotionally Available, Dagmar Kusiak sits down with Jeff Stempel, owner of Stampede Coaching and Consulting, to explore the connection between financial habits, emotional patterns, and healthy relationships.
Together, they discuss how childhood beliefs, fear, shame, and avoidance shape the way we spend, save, and communicate about money. From overspending to holding on too tightly, these behaviors often reveal deeper patterns that influence our relationships.
The conversation also explores financial compatibility in dating, when couples should begin discussing money, and why having different spending habits doesn't necessarily mean two people are incompatible.
At the heart of this episode is a powerful reminder: Healthy relationships aren't built on perfect finances. They're built on shared values, personal accountability, trust, and the willingness to have uncomfortable conversations.
Because understanding your relationship with money may be an important step toward building healthier relationships with others.
