Money Date Night Kit
Transform tension-filled money talks into meaningful conversations. This self-guided kit gives you everything you need to lead your first successful "money date" with your partner.
Lead Money Conversations with Confidence, Not Conflict
I help women guide their relationships toward financial harmony through practical frameworks that engage even the most reluctant partners. Transform money discussions from sources of tension into opportunities to build wealth aligned with your shared values, all while strengthening your partnership.
Take the Lead Without Becoming the "Money Police"
You're not alone if you've experienced the frustration of being the one who worries about your financial future while your partner seems less concerned. You want to create better financial habits together, but don't want every conversation to end in tension.
The Challenge: According to the 2024 Fidelity Investments Couples Study, women often take primary responsibility for day-to-day finances, yet 45% report money conversations still lead to arguments or avoidance.
You're ready for a different approach—one where you can lead financial discussions without sacrificing relationship harmony.
Do These Sound Familiar?
- "I feel like I'm the only one worried about our financial future"
- "We keep having the same arguments about spending"
- "I don't know how to get my partner engaged in financial planning"
- "I want us to be more intentional with our money, but I don't want to be the 'money police'"
- "We make good money but somehow still live paycheck to paycheck"
- "I want financial conversations that bring us closer, not drive us apart"
If you've thought any of these, you're exactly where I can help.

About Me
Hi, I'm Sage Cirillo
As a woman who once felt the weight of financial uncertainty and relationship tension around money, I understand the unique challenges you face when trying to create financial partnership.
For years, I struggled with how to engage my partner in meaningful money conversations. Traditional budgeting approaches left me feeling like the "bad guy," and discussions about our future often ended in frustration.
Everything changed when I developed a system that started with understanding our core values—not just diving straight into budgets and spreadsheets. Now, my partner and I actually look forward to our regular money dates, and we've built both wealth and a stronger relationship.
I created The Couple's Money Coach to help women like you transform financial stress into opportunity for connection. I focus on empowering you to lead financial conversations with confidence and create systems that honor both of your priorities.
Frequently asked questions
Who is this for?
My approach is specifically designed for women in committed relationships who want to take the lead in creating financial harmony without becoming the "money police" in their relationship.
What if my partner isn't interested?
You can begin this journey on your own. Many of my clients start solo and find their partners naturally become more engaged as they see the difference in approach.
I've tried budgeting apps before. How is this different?
Traditional budgeting tools focus only on the numbers. My approach starts with the emotions and values behind money decisions, creating a foundation that actually motivates both partners.
Do I need to be good with numbers?
Not at all! My frameworks make financial planning accessible regardless of your comfort level with math or finance. The focus is on values and communication first.
My partner and I have very different money mindsets. Can this still work for us?
Absolutely! Different money mindsets are actually common and can strengthen your financial approach when understood properly. My methods specifically help bridge these differences rather than trying to make one partner change. I've have experience with couples where one is a saver and one is a spender, or where one is detailed-oriented and one is big-picture focused, and helped them create systems that honor both perspectives.
We've already tried talking about money and it always ends in arguments. How is this different?
Traditional money conversations often jump straight to numbers and behaviors, which can feel judgmental. My approach starts with understanding values first, creating a foundation of mutual respect before discussing specific financial decisions. Many women tell me they're surprised by how differently their conversations flow when they begin with what matters most to each person rather than focusing immediately on spending habits or budgets.
