You get paid, and a week later you're staring at your banking app wondering where it all went. Again. This show is about why that keeps happening I'm Alina, a money psychology coach, and every week I dig into what goes on in your head right before you spend: the boredom, the stress, the "I deserve this" moment after a shitty day. No spreadsheets, no affirmations, no woo-woo. Just honest, slightly too blunt conversations about the money stuff nobody wants to bring up at dinner New episodes every weekAlina Gematdenova Personal Development Personal Success

  • The Money Talk to Have Before the Ring (What We Talked About Before He Proposed)

    The Money Talk to Have Before the Ring (What We Talked About Before He Proposed)
    8 Oct 2026

    You know how your partner takes their coffee and what they're scared of at 3 a.m. But do you know how much debt they have?

    My fiancé and I talked about money long before he proposed, so by the time the ring showed up, there were no surprises on either side. In this episode I walk you through the money talk: why it matters, the 4 fears that stop you from having it, how to have it without a fight, what to actually talk about, and what to do after, because some things you can live with and some you really shouldn't ignore.

    In this episode:

    • why money secrets always show up at the worst moment
    • the 4 fears: looking greedy, being judged, hearing the answer, ruining the vibe
    • the reflection journal (paper, not ChatGPT)
    • how to start the talk without a fight
    • the 7 things to actually talk about
    • how it went for me and my fiancé
    • difference or red flag: what you can live with and what you shouldn't ignore

    Your homework (ask each other):

    1. What did money feel like in your house growing up?
    2. What's one thing about money that stresses you out right now?
    3. What's one thing you want our money to make possible for us in 5 years?

    Bonus, just for you: grab a notebook and write for 10 minutes: "Talking about money with my partner scares me because..."
