“The litmus test for a terrific podcast has to be that you found yourself wishing you were ‘in the room’ for the conversation you're listening to, so you could participate. I had that feeling when Tony Steuer, CLU, LA, CPFFE and Bobbi Rebell Kaufman, CFP® were discussing the importance of understanding who you are taking financial advice from, and how much further in life just a little more intention can get you. Worth a listen!” – Karen Holland

The Power of Money Conversations: Emotions Over Dollars
On this episode of The Get Ready Money Podcast, I spoke with BatSheva Goldstein, creator of the Financial Date Discussion Cards, about why money conversations are really about trust—not just dollars.
💡 Key Insights:
🔹 Why money conversations are more about emotions than math
🔹 How childhood experiences shape how we talk about—and handle—money
🔹 The importance of shifting focus from dollars to the “why” behind them
📌 Why It Matters:
Money talks can strengthen relationships when they move beyond numbers into values, fears, and hopes. BatSheva shows us that clarity and connection—not perfection—are what truly build financial trust.
✅ Action Steps:
🔹 Try a values-based money conversation with your partner or family this week with the Financial Date Discussion Cards (see show notes for details)>
🔹 Reflect on what you grew up learning about money—and how that shapes your current mindset
🗣 Tony’s Take:
“Money is not a pass/fail test. BatSheva reminds us that real security comes from clarity—knowing what’s important and letting money serve those goals.”
