How to Communicate about Money with your Partner
Fri Feb 06 2026
In this episode of Manifesting Money, Anita is joined by her partner and co-host Mikael for an honest, real-life conversation about money, relationships, and communication.
They explore how different backgrounds, cultures, and belief systems shape the way we spend, save, and talk about money—especially when dating or building a life together.
Through personal stories (including a $10 Target disagreement 👀), Anita and Mikael unpack:
Why money feels so emotional in relationships
How unspoken expectations create tension
The importance of communicating before resentment builds
Why money is deeply personal and intimate
How to talk about finances without blame, guilt, or shutdown
This episode is for anyone navigating love, money, and self-growth—especially if you’ve ever wondered:“Am I asking for too much?” or “Why does this feel so uncomfortable?”
✨ Key takeaway: Communication isn’t about fixing—it’s about understanding.
Money carries emotional and relational weight, not just numbers
Cultural and personal money beliefs shape relationship dynamics
Small moments (like spending $10) often represent deeper values
Silence and shutdown can be more damaging than disagreement
Healthy relationships require ongoing, honest money conversations
