On today's "with friends" episode we've got Dr Michelle Lappin, Certified Wealth Coach & Financial Strategist, 2x Best-Selling Author & Podcaster with us!
We talk the struggles of being an independent woman starting a new intimate relationship in her 40’s, dealing with past issues, and the challenges of communication in relationships. BUT THEN, we skip over to a different kind of intimate conversation as she shares her financial journey through hardship and how she turned that fight from debt into a thriving testimony to help others now pull themselves out of their own financial pits.
Key Takeaways:
-Balance personal independence and relationship dynamics with the investment of time and grace
-Overcoming financial difficulties using methods like support, budgeting, saving, and discipline
**”The Power of the Pause”**
-Dr. Michelle also highlights the emotional and intimate nature of financial discussions, drawing parallels between finances and personal spaces like bedrooms—both private and often messy, requiring trust and support to work through
