A Better Way to Money

Prenups, Postnups, and the Must-Have Money Talk Most Couples Skip

Want your relationship to go the distance? One of the best things you can do—especially if you’re getting married—is have an honest money conversation. Family law attorney and HelloPrenup founder Julia Rodgers joins host Jennifer Borget to show how prenuptial and postnuptial agreements give couples a powerful framework for doing exactly that. Julia reframes these contracts from top to bottom: not as legal protection against failure but as one of the most loving, intentional steps two people can take together. Plus: what they actually cover, and how to start a money conversation with your partner—wherever you are in your relationship.

Career Uncertainty Is Normal. Here’s How to Thrive in It

The career ladder you planned to climb? It’s looking a lot shakier these days. Host Jennifer Borget is joined by author Simone Stolzoff—author of The Good Enough Job and How to Not Know—to explore what building a career looks like when the old rules no longer apply and why learning to thrive in uncertainty might be the single most valuable skill you can build. Together, they unpack how to stay grounded when your work life shifts; why over-identifying with your job title is a liability; and how a strong financial plan gives you the foundation to take risks, make moves, and land on your feet. * How to Not Know: The Value of Uncertainty in a World that Demands Answers [https://www.amazon.com/How-Not-Know-Uncertainty-Demands/dp/1324089458] * The Good Enough Job: Reclaiming Life from Work [https://www.amazon.com/Good-Enough-Job-Reclaiming-Life/dp/059353896X/ref=pd_lpo_d_sccl_1/146-5292613-5446929?pd_rd_w=Iiye8&content-id=amzn1.sym.4c8c52db-06f8-4e42-8e56-912796f2ea6c&pf_rd_p=4c8c52db-06f8-4e42-8e56-912796f2ea6c&pf_rd_r=7M3SHJRV0A8WXY8X4MMZ&pd_rd_wg=v7jIA&pd_rd_r=c540f2a6-cc46-4019-a839-a89865b7ebee&pd_rd_i=059353896X&psc=1] Download your free Family Finances workbook and plan for a future you can’t predict TODAY: https://www.northwesternmutual.com/podcast/ [https://www.northwesternmutual.com/podcast/] Connect with Simone Simone’s website: https://simonestolzoff.com/ [https://simonestolzoff.com/] Connect with Northwestern Mutual Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/northwesternmutual [https://www.facebook.com/northwesternmutual] Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/northwesternmutual/ [https://www.instagram.com/northwesternmutual/] LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/northwestern-mutual/https://www.linkedin.com/company/northwestern-mutual/ [https://www.linkedin.com/company/northwestern-mutual/] TikTok:https://www.tiktok.com/@northwesternmutual [https://www.tiktok.com/@northwesternmutual]
