When we're in a relationship...oh, boy. But there\u2019s a silver lining: We can create more intimacy, trust, and connection by opening up about our money story -- and also being curious about someone else's money story and experience. Still, when and how do you bring up the topic of money? What if it\u2019s a new relationship - you don\u2019t want to scare them away, right? Today\u2019s guest, Kim Nicol, is a life coach with expertise in mindfulness and leadership. She is here to share tips about how, when, and why to bring up finances, especially when dating or in a new relationship.
