We've been taught to chase love — but nobody teaches us how to protect ourselves inside it.

In this episode, Soraya and Jasmine are joined by financial advisor and coach Peta-Kay, known as Your Finance PT, for an honest, no-filter conversation about what really happens when love and money collide.

Whether you're newly dating, in a long-term relationship, or rebuilding after a breakup — this episode is full of practical advice and real talk you won't hear anywhere else.

✨ What You’ll Learn

• The money red flags to look out for when dating (hint: it's not just about job titles)

• Why financial independence is the most important form of self-love

• How to protect your assets if you own property before getting married

• The truth about the 50/50 split — and why it often fails women

• What to do if you take time out of work to raise children

• Should you take out credit in your partner's name? (Spoiler: think twice)

• How to handle a partner with a gambling addiction or hidden debt

• Practical steps to start building your own financial safety net today

• Budgeting as a couple: date nights, savings pots, and money conversations that actually work

Peta-Kay also shares her personal experience managing finances in a 7-year marriage, and the one thing every woman should have — no matter how much you trust your partner.
