How is your relationship with your money?
Would your money want to date you if it were a person?
Find out how to improve your relationship with money as I chat with Nicole Iacovoni. Nicole is a Financial Therapist & Licensed Couple’s Therapist with seventeen years experience teaching women entrepreneurs how to make tending to their finances feel fun and flirty instead of boring and overwhelming.
We talk about how to date your money, how to navigate finances in a partnership, deal with your own money baggage and so much more.
“Focus on the seeking pleasure part instead of the avoiding pain part.” – Nicole Iacovoni
“Where we get hung up and where most of us find ourselves in debt is when we’re not clear on our values and we just spend money on everything.” – Nicole Iacovoni
“We bring all of our money baggage into any relationship that we’re in. So, we have to work through that money baggage. We have to process that. We have to heal our own relationship with money before we can have this healthy joint relationship in our financial lives that we share with our partners.” – Nicole Iacovoni
“In my previous partnership, I wanted to control my partner and money so badly and I’m ashamed to admit that but I’m just being honest. And, it took so much self-work to realize that the core of that was because I wanted to mitigate my own anxiety.” – Melanie Lockert
