So, how do couples make their conversations constructive and create financial intimacy? Rick’s guest Deb Kaplan shares how to utilize the tools necessary for a constructive conversation: listen, suspend judgment, become curious, practice compassion, and focus on our own behavior. We also explore Money Scripts, IFS tools and how listeners can interview and dialogue with the part of themself that is engaged in a self-defeating money behavior.
