Money Club: How to Talk About Money with Your Family

Location: Mac Market, 1140 NE Alpine Avenue, McMinnville, OR 97128

Money can be hard to talk about. But it doesn’t have to be.

At Money Club, we believe financial freedom starts with honest, heart-centered conversations. Not just with your business coach or bookkeeper, but with your family.

This month, facilitators Kristen Winter and Malee Ojua invite you to a powerful conversation about one of the most overlooked (and emotionally loaded) parts of entrepreneurship: talking to your loved ones about money.

Whether you’re just launching your business or deep into scaling, your family dynamics shape how you make your decisions in business, sometimes in ways you don’t even notice.

Maybe your parents don’t understand your drive.

Maybe your partner is stressed about inconsistent income.

Maybe your kids are starting to ask big questions about wealth, work, and worth.

At Money Club, we’ll unpack all of that together.

In this emotionally safe and judgment-free space, Kristen and Malee will guide us through a conversation filled with storytelling, self-reflection, and practical strategies that help bridge the money gap at home.

Because entrepreneurship isn’t just a solo journey. It’s a family affair.

Why does this conversation matter?

✅ It will help us navigate tough money talks with clarity and compassion.

✅ We will hear from our peers how they steered “the talk” with spouses, siblings, and elders.

✅ We get to explore how family beliefs around money impact how we run our businesses.

✅ We get to reframe money talk from a source of conflict into a catalyst for connection.

Whether you’re setting up boundaries, co-creating budgets, or planning a financial legacy, this session will give you the tools and the courage to speak about money with your family from the heart.

It’s time to change the conversation.

For yourself, for your loved ones, for the future you’re building together.
