What if every argument about money is really an argument about worth, safety, control, or love?

In SPENT, licensed therapist Jenny Pfeiffer, MA, LPC, and financial behavior researcher Michael J. Seiler, PhD, reveal why couples fight about money — and why standard financial advice never fixes it. Using an Internal Family Systems (IFS) lens, they map the parts driving your financial conflicts and show you a way through that actually works.
