Real Financial Tea — Money, Relationships & Power

WealthMotley 8 Episodes Jun 11, 2026

Real Financial Tea breaks down real-life money situations and turns them into practical financial clarity. Each episode explores how money shows up in relationships, from lying about income, financial dependency, and remittances, to power, control, and unspoken expectations, especially within the African diaspora in the UK, US, Canada, and abroad. The podcast offers honest conversations without judgment or fluff for anyone navigating marriage, engagement, family pressure, or money stress.
