Blending Cultures, Money Stories, and Vision: Building
a Life and Business Together
What happens when two people from completely different worlds collide not just in love, but in business too?
In this episode of The Moxie Movement Podcast, Jonny and I open up about what it really looks like to blend cultures, money mindsets, and visions for the future. Spoiler: it’s not always smooth sailing. But it’s the lessons we’ve learned, the risks we’ve taken, and the shared vision we’ve built that made all the difference.
If you’re a business mama juggling multiple roles, wondering how to align your family, finances, and future this one’s for you.
The Clash of Money Stories
We all carry money stories from our childhood into our adult lives. Mine came from growing up on a New Zealand farm where resourcefulness was a way of life. Jonny’s came from an English family where budgeting and caution ruled. Put those two stories in the same house (and business), and you can imagine the sparks.
Here’s the truth:
What saved us wasn’t pretending those stories didn’t exist. It was talking about them, really seeing each other’s perspective, and designing a vision together that worked for us both
Blending Cultures, Money Minds,…
Here’s the truth:
- Your money mindset shapes how you see risk and security.
- Even siblings raised in the same home often walk away with totally different beliefs about money.
- Those differences don’t disappear in business they amplify.

The Power of Communication (and Complementary Strengths)
When COVID wiped out our tourism business, it could have broken us. Instead, it became a reset. We went back to the drawing board and asked:
👉 What kind of life do we actually want?
👉 What stories do we want Scarlett to carry into adulthood about money and business?
👉 How can our business serve our life, not steal from it?
That’s the shift. When you stop reacting week to week and start designing a shared vision, your business becomes the vehicle for the life you actually wantnot the monster that devours it

I’m a catalyst - ideas, energy, starting things. Jonny’s a connector - grounded, steady, focused on relationships and risk. For years, that balance felt like clashing. It wasn’t until we learned to value each other’s natural energies that we saw it for what it was: our greatest strength.
Here’s what we’ve learned:
✔ Your partner doesn’t need to be just like you in fact, it’s better if they’re not.
✔ Communication is everything. The moment you stop talking about money, dreams, or risks is the moment resentment creeps in.
✔ Shared vision isn’t static. It changes. With health scares, pandemics, parenting milestones everything. The key is to keep checking in and evolving together
