Financial problems contribute to 20–40% of U.S. divorces, but the real issue often isn’t the money itself, it’s how couples talk (or don’t talk) about it. In this episode, Priya sits down with power couple Doug & Heather Boneparth, co-authors of Money Together, to unpack the real dynamics behind financial conflict, partnership, resentment, “the Bermuda Triangle” of early parenting, and the habits that either make couples unstoppable… or quietly blow up their finances.

Whether you’re merging lives, managing uneven incomes, or trying to get back on the same team, this episode pulls back the curtain on what truly makes (or breaks) financial partnership, the subtle ways couples undermine each other’s autonomy, and the single biggest red flag most couples miss.

Takeaways:

• The #1 financial red flag isn’t debt.
• Risk-takers and savers can thrive together when they understand each other’s money stories.
• Many couples get stuck trying to split everything 50/50. The healthier (and more realistic) goal is equity, not equality.
• Your financial plan won’t work if only one person knows what’s going on. True partnership requires shared visibility, even if you divide responsibilities.

Gen Z isn’t waiting around for the old rules of wealth building and maybe millennials shouldn’t either. In this episode, Priya sits down with Taylor Price (aka Priceless Tay), the Gen Z money expert who turned a blog into a financial education movement. They dig into why buying a home isn’t Gen Z’s first wealth move, how younger investors think about risk and liquidity, why “investing without goals” is basically gambling, and the foundational habits every twenty- and thirty-something needs to master before chasing returns. If you want a fresh, modern take on money, you’ve arrived.

Takeaways:

• Gen Z isn’t waiting for the white-picket-fence moment.
• You can’t skip the foundation just because “investing feels sexy.”
• PricelessTay’s Foundation First Framework.
• Your habits scale with your income. Your paycheck doesn’t “fix” them.

Estate planning isn’t just for the ultra-wealthy. Priya and David Meister (CEO of Steward) break down a practical, values-first plan for your 30s: why a revocable trust plus pour-over will beats a will-only setup, how to pick trustees when family dynamics are messy, and the power of updating beneficiaries, granting trustee discretion, “cross-naming” trusted friends, and giving while living.

Takeaways:

• Get the core four in place: revocable living trust, pour-over will, durable power of attorney, and healthcare directive.
• Update beneficiaries across every account (401(k), brokerage, bank, insurance) and consider naming the trust.
• Separate “kid care” from “money care.” Guardians ≠ Trustees.
• Revisit your plan after major life events. Perfection isn’t required. Execution is.

If you’re making six figures but still feel like you’re spinning your wheels, you’re not alone. Too many high achievers obsess over the wrong financial details: tracking every coffee, juggling ten checking accounts, or chasing credit card points, while ignoring the big levers that actually move the needle.

You’ll hear a real client story, insights from Ramit Sethi’s “$3 vs. $30,000 questions,” and Natalie Taylor’s framework for “impact-weighted work.” By the end, you’ll have a clear path to simplify your money, reduce stress, and start making progress that actually matters.

Tune Into This Episode to Hear:

• Why activity ≠ progress when it comes to your money
• The difference between $3 questions (skip Starbucks?) and $30,000 questions (negotiate your comp?)
• How “impact-weighted work” can help you stop overanalyzing and start moving forward
• A simple framework to consolidate accounts, automate, and focus on big levers like income, savings, investing, and protection
