  • "You'll never be ready to buy a home"
    When newlyweds Chantal and Travis Lisback started searching for their dream home in Seattle, they weren’t entirely on the same page.

As the search dragged on, what began as a shared dream started to feel more like a standoff. This week, a story about how a big life decision can bring to light the money and communication issues you didn’t know were there. Plus, later in the episode, Chantal and Travis sit down with financial therapist Aja Evans to unpack what’s happening beneath the surface, and how to approach money fights with more care and intention. If you liked this episode, share it with a friend!
