Each episode explores how to have healthy money conversations, articulate what matters most to you, and use your money efficiently and effectively to support that. From money in marriage to teaching kids about finances, from navigating big decisions to understanding why modern financial life feels harder than it should — Jim and Cade bring real stories, practical wisdom, and a values-first perspective from their work with families at Intentional Living Financial Planning in New Braunfels, Texas.
