Welcome to The Conscious Couples Podcast with Emilia Smith and Alan Lazaros.

What if money didn’t cause stress, fear, or distance in your relationship?

In today’s episode, Emilia and Alan speak to couples and singles who want peace, trust, and teamwork around finances. They share why money arguments are so common, how early life experiences shape financial behavior, and why most people never feel truly calm talking about money.

In this episode of The Conscious Couples Podcast, hosts Emilia Smith and Alan Lazaros pick up where the last episode left off and go deeper into the real role self-awareness plays in relationships. Part two unpacks why most people believe they are self-aware, why that belief is often misplaced, and how that blind spot quietly fuels conflict, disconnection, and stalled growth. The conversation centers on honesty, responsibility, and the unseen patterns shaping how couples communicate and relate.

If you care about building a stronger partnership, this episode will challenge how you see yourself inside the relationship. Listen closely, then decide whether comfort or clarity guides your next move.
