The number one question I get when interviewed about my new book, Breaking Money Silence: How to Shattor Money Taboos, Talk More Openly about Finances, and Live a Richer Life, is “How do I begin a money conversation?” Here are some creative tools to break your money silence.

Money Talk Cards by Ellen Rogin 

Ellen Rogin is a well-known financial advisor, speaker and author. She also happens to be a friend! This year she published her Money Talk Cards aimed at making meaningful money conversations easier. The deck contains 50 thought-provoking cards broken down into mindset, vision, and wisdom. I particularly like the wisdom cards as a way to share your values and beliefs about money with the next generation.

Let’s Talk Finances by Erika Wasserman 

Erika Wasserman is a certified financial therapist, speaker and soon-to-be author. We belong to the same networking group and love her passion for financial wellness. The Couple’s Edition of the conversation cards is a great tool for opening the lines of communication with your romantic partner. She also has a Divorce Edition, with a Family Edition coming out later in 2025. If you are looking for a fun way to bust through the money taboo, Erika’s conversation cards can help.

Money Talk Challenges

At the end of each chapter of the book, you will find exercise to assist you in integrating that chapter’s concepts into your life. If you are a financial advisor, there is also a Money Talk Challenge aimed at incorporating the human side of finance into your practice. Discover how to start conversations with your partner, adult children or aging parents. 

All of these creative tools are available on Amazon. If you don’t know which one to buy, I recommend getting all three because you can never have too many creative tools to break your money silence. 

The second edition of Breaking Money Silence will be published on January 14, 2025 and is available for pre-order now. If you order your copy before the official publication date, you will be invited to an exclusive virtual book launch party featuring an Author’s Q/A and raffle prizes including a free coaching session with me. 

Thank you in advance for buying the book, embracing creative tools to break money silence, and being part of the Breaking Money Silence revolution.
