Episode Summary:
Money and marriage. Health and wealth. We know they're connected — but most couples still struggle to talk about either. In this episode, we sit down with Adam Cox, a Sioux Falls native and seasoned financial advisor, to talk about the emotional, behavioral, and practical habits that lead to true financial wellness.
Adam works with high-level professionals and families every day, helping them navigate not just numbers — but the mindsets behind them. From building financial muscle like physical fitness to learning how to regulate money stress, this episode is a blueprint for turning financial fear into long-term freedom.
We explore:
Why financial stress mirrors physical burnout
How to spot early warning signs of financial unhealth
What couples really need to be talking about (but aren't)
How to build a 90-day game plan for financial fitness
Why income alone isn't enough
What true financial freedom looks like beyond just a number in the bank
Whether you're a young couple trying to get aligned, or a high earner who still feels financially stuck, this conversation will give you a better framework for wealth — and a stronger foundation for your marriage.
