What happens when a couple starts their life with over $300,000 in student debt—and builds a
business, a family, and a financial philosophy along the way? Heather and Douglas Bonaparth
join us to unpack the real conversations couples should be having about love, money, and
everything in between. From shifting breadwinner roles to losing (and finding) financial agency,
this episode explores what it really takes to be a team for the long haul.

Douglas Bonaparth is the founder of Bonafide Wealth, a financial advisory firm for high-
achieving millennials. Heather Bonaparth is a former corporate lawyer turned money writer.

In this episode you’ll learn:
Why financial intimacy—not just financial literacy—is the foundation of lasting partnership.
How role reversals, caregiving, and burnout can reshape power dynamics in marriage.
Why “getting weird now” about money might save your relationship later.
How to turn shame, privilege, and student debt into teamwork and transparency.
What couples should talk about before the wedding—and why it’s probably not joint accounts.
Whether you're building a life together or trying to repair one, the HelloPrenup Podcast gives
you the tools to talk about money with honesty, empathy, and strength.
