Meet Vivian
Fourteen years ago, my life changed in a way I could never have imagined. My husband was dying of colon cancer, and in the middle of my grief, I discovered something almost as devastating — we were in a severe financial crisis, and I didn’t know it. I had trusted that everything was “handled.” I didn’t ask questions. I didn’t push for conversations. I believed the cultural story that said, “He takes care of money. I don’t have to.”
Standing in a bank while my world was already falling apart, I learned just how dangerous financial silence can be.
That moment woke me up.
As I rebuilt my life, I realized something obvious: money conversations aren’t about numbers. They’re about honesty, trust, safety, and partnership. They are about love. And when couples avoid talking about money, they aren’t avoiding spreadsheets — they’re avoiding vulnerability, power dynamics, fear, shame, and deeply held beliefs.
And the cost of staying silent is enormous.
Today, I dedicate my work to helping couples do what my husband and I couldn’t: talk openly about money before life forces the issue. I help partners replace avoidance with understanding, hidden fears with shared reality, and secrecy with connection.
Whether I am speaking on a stage, leading workshops, or guiding couples through structured conversations, my mission is simple: To help couples have the money conversations that save relationships.
My approach blends practical guidance with emotional truth. I help couples uncover what money means to each partner, talk about it without blame or fear, and build a financial life built on transparency, respect, and shared responsibility. Because when you can talk about money, you can talk about anything — and your relationship becomes stronger, safer, and more resilient.
If you are ready to stop hoping things will work themselves out and start having the conversations that build a secure future together, I’m here to help.
