Episode 10, Season 2: Money, Marriage & Faith: What If It’s Not About the Money? With Special Guest Clint Jasperson

What if your fights about money… aren’t actually about money? In this honest and eye-opening episode, Dr. Sarah Hensley sits down with special guest Clint Jasperson, Certified Financial Planner™, RICP®, and father of two, to explore the hidden layers beneath financial stress in romantic relationships. Clint brings a unique blend of expertise in psychology, education, and financial planning, helping clients and couples build clarity, confidence, and purpose into their financial lives.Together, they discuss how your relationship with money—shaped by childhood, values, trauma, and attachment wounds—often determines how secure or strained your romantic partnerships feel. From feeling unseen or unsupported to power struggles around spending, saving, or planning for the future, financial tension is one of the leading causes of disconnection and divorce.Clint shares his team’s approach at Thrivent and PDW, where financial security is rooted in meaning—not just numbers. They help clients navigate everything from day-to-day planning to estate transitions and legacy goals, through a values-based model grounded in provision, contentment, and joy. This episode goes beyond traditional financial advice and into the deeper psychological and emotional realities of how couples can heal, unite, and build lives that feel aligned, safe, and full of purpose. In this episode, you’ll learn:Why your money story starts in childhood—and how to change itThe emotional toll of financial imbalance in relationshipsHow to create a shared financial vision rooted in your valuesWhy “financial compatibility” is more about safety than statusHow faith and generosity can reshape your relationship with moneyThis conversation is especially powerful if you’ve ever felt like one partner carries the financial load, or if you and your spouse just can’t seem to get on the same page.
