Episode 17: Keeping score in your relationship? Here’s how to approach “fairness”.

When I say the words “fair exchange” – what do you think of? For a lot of people, the first thing that comes to mind is money.

While you may think that’s less true in relationships than say work, money undoubtedly can become a bone of contention in a relationship. Especially if the breadwinner sees themselves as “being owed”, or the one being supported financially has wounding or trauma around receiving money.

Fair exchange is not about keeping score or tit for tat. It’s a feeling of being in balance with another person.

In this episode, we talk about:

•  How to think about fair exchange within a work context (it’s about more than the exchange of money for services). So, you can feel more in balance when you think work is treating you unfairly.
•  Programming around women and financial independence. How discomfort around being supported financially can be more to do with safety and trust (in a healthy relationship).
•  Thinking about fair exchange within a relationship laterally
•  How to get back into a feeling of fair exchange when you’re feeling out of balance
