Kathleen and Julie discuss what happens when both individuals in a couple are not equally involved in finances, how to handle expectations, and improve effective communications around money. Listeners walk away with tips on how to reframe the money conversation, decide who is better equipped to take the lead on execution vs. vision for finances, and how advisors can help draw both individuals into the discussion. </span></p><br> <p><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: 12pt;"><a style="color: #bbc288;" href="https://www.absoluteengagement.com/about"><strong><em>Julie Littlechild</em></strong></a> <span style="color: #000000;">is a speaker, writer, and researcher.
