Joshua Wright is a certified financial counselor and relationship educator with over fifteen years of experience helping couples transform conflict into collaboration. His work focuses on the psychology of money—how childhood experiences, cultural conditioning, and communication patterns shape the way partners handle finances—and translating that understanding into practical, judgment-free systems.
Joshua holds a Master’s degree in Financial Planning and a certification in couples counseling from the Gottman Institute. He has developed workshops for major employers, including Microsoft and Deloitte, teaching employees how to navigate financial stress in their personal relationships. His first book, *The Money Talk That Works*, won the Indie Book Award for Personal Finance in 2019 and has been used as a training resource by marriage therapists nationwide.
As the founder of the CoupleMoney.com platform, Joshua hosts the top-rated podcast *Money, Love & Everything In Between*, which has been downloaded over three million times. He has been featured in *The New York Times*, *The Wall Street Journal*, and *Forbes*, where he writes a recurring column on financial intimacy.
When he is not speaking at conferences or coaching clients, Joshua lives in Portland, Oregon, with his spouse of nineteen years and their two children—all of whom regularly remind him that even the best financial plan requires grace, laughter, and the occasional pizza delivery. He is a passionate advocate for making financial literacy accessible to underserved communities and serves on the board of the Financial Health Network.
Joshua believes that every couple, regardless of income or background, can build a financial partnership that strengthens rather than strains their love. He is available for keynotes, private coaching intensives, and media appearances through his website, JoshuaWrightBooks.com.
