From secret shopping bags to unopened retirement accounts, we all have financial decisions we’d rather forget. But keeping those choices hidden can erode trust, increase stress, and quietly damage our relationships.
Join Anna and Tim as they break down the emotional weight of financial secrets, the psychology behind overspending, and the regrets that haunt so many of us. You’ll also learn Anna’s SAFER money framework—a practical, compassionate way to move from silence to healing, both in your relationship and with yourself.
This episode covers:

• Why money shame is more common—and more damaging—than we admit
• The emotional reasons people hide spending or debt from partners
• How inaction can lead to the deepest financial regret
• The difference between guilt and shame in money conversations
• Why chronic secrecy leads to emotional burnout and health consequences
• The SAFER framework to surface, assess, and repair financial secrets
• How financial transparency can rebuild intimacy and trust

Until next time, here's to deeper connections and personal growth.
Mad love!
