Decode the Secret Language of Money: Stop Stressful Talks and Build Unbreakable Connections with Charles Duhigg

Have you ever felt like a money conversation turned into a minefield? Maybe it led to stress, silence, or complete miscommunication. Why is money so difficult to talk about—even with those closest to us? And how can we transform these moments into opportunities for deeper connection? In this episode, I’m joined by New York Times bestselling author Charles Duhigg, whose latest book, Supercommunicators: How to Unlock the Secret Language of Connection, breaks down the art and science of meaningful conversations. Together, we explore how to approach money talks with less anxiety and more clarity, no matter the situation. What You'll Learn: Why casual money talks can reduce stress and build stronger connections. The three types of conversations—practical, emotional, and social—and how knowing the difference can prevent miscommunication. Subtle but powerful communication techniques that show you're truly listening and engaged.
