Welcome to today’s ICYMI, where we kick off the week with a quick game-changing tip from one of our guests that you might have missed. 

From discussing salaries and the cost of homes, to splitting the bill and vacation-planning, it’s NEVER easy to talk about money, whether you’re married or on a second date. But there are some super helpful questions and conversation-starters you can use to get on the same financial page as your partner (and parents) without all the stress. 

We’re throwing it back to some key advice from Alyssa Davies, the mastermind behind award-winning Canadian personal finance website and YouTube channel, Mixed Up Money, where she dishes out financial content for women who care about their money. 

Alyssa published Her first book, The 100 Day Financial Goal Journal, in 2020, and launched a personal finance podcast with her husband, Learn From Us, where they make talking about money feel less awkward and more relatable by sharing their own tough lessons.

Listen to our full episode with Alyssa here.
