We don’t talk enough about how your partner’s income impacts your future. Not because you’re shallow, but because you’re ambitious.

In this episode, Priya Malani unpacks the emotional and financial weight that income differences can bring into a relationship, especially for high-achieving 30-somethings. From carrying the financial momentum to feeling unsupported or unable to take risks, she makes the case that talking about money with your partner isn’t transactional. It’s essential.

Whether you’re dating, engaged, or deep into a long-term partnership, this conversation will help you reframe the way you think about compatibility, ambition, and financial alignment.

Tune into this episode to hear:

• Why “I make enough for both of us” isn’t a long-term strategy
• The subtle resentment that builds when one person carries the financial load
• Key questions to ask yourself (and your partner) to avoid future friction
• Why financial intentionality, not income equality, is the goal
