Love and money are deeply connected—even when we avoid the conversation.

In this episode of Money Without Math, Karen Coyne sits down with attorney and Love Richer creator Jackie Combs to explore how women can set themselves up for financial success at every stage of life—single, dating, engaged, or married.

From subtle money conversations you can have on a first date, to the truth about prenups, to recognizing financial red flags before they become real problems, Jackie shares the legal and practical insights many women don’t learn until it’s too late.

You’ll also learn why “doing nothing” is still a financial decision, how to build true financial intimacy in a relationship, and the four-part framework that can transform how you talk about money with a partner.

This episode is your guide to building a relationship where you feel informed, protected, and confident—because love can feel good and make financial sense.
