Emily Bouchard: Prenups and Why They Matter
In this episode Emily Bouchard, a family dynamics and money coach, talks to me about money and the difficulties that families often have in engaging in honest conversations about it.
Emily offers fascinating insights into why money can be such a hard thing to talk about, and tips for helping to get these conversations started. I asked her to be on my show because, so often, a long, uncomfortable silence falls across the room when my clients begin to sort out who owns what in a marriage, or how parents want their children to treat an inheritance. As Emily points out, avoiding open and honest communications about money (like avoiding the same kinds of conversations about death and illness) means a missed opportunity for learning about ourselves, our families, and our most closely held values and hopes. I hope you enjoy it.
