04: The Emotional Triggers Episode with Hazel Thornton

(a.k.a. Who Will Check My Email When I Die?)

Released Jan 17, 2017

I’m proud of this interview I did with Kate Stalter, on her America Talks Money podcast. She was inspired by a presentation of mine that she attended called “Who Will Check My Email When I Die?”. It’s Episode 04, and it’s called “The Emotional Triggers Episode” because the first 13 minutes feature Kelly Chisholm talking about how conflicting money personalities can affect a relationship. The rest is Kate and me (20 min).

PART 1: KATE & KELLY

EMOTIONAL TRIGGERS are very important when trying to work something out in a relationship, especially around money. Everyone has their own ideas and beliefs about money and this is what Kelly refers to as your Money Personality. It’s always different with everyone, yet there’s no right or wrong here. Due to these different personality types, it’s important for couples to take time to sit down and figure out their Money Personalities and then look at the problems they could be having with that. It’s necessary for couples to get onto the same page about money- and this is where professional financial help can really work.
