Quotes
"We both want the same thing emotionally. We're conflicting because there's a mistranslation of what we're trying to say or what we're trying to do or what we're trying to communicate."
"If you're calm internally and you're in a good emotional state, somebody else cannot be in a combative state with you if you remain calm."
"It creates problems when the spender judges the saver or the saver judges the spender."
"Don't talk about money when either person is stressed about it."
"Make sure that when you talk about finances, you do it in a safe space, a space of no judgment, of relaxation, of no stress."
"So much money gets wasted in divorce that can go to kids and the well being of both sides from stress and negative emotions."
"When you're overstressed, you make terrible financial decisions."
