In The Independent: Money, Stress, and the Holiday Season
I was invited to comment for The Independent Singapore on how financial stress, family dynamics, and the holiday season intersect to put pressure on relationships, and what couples can do about it.
The holiday period in Singapore comes with a unique set of pressures: gift-giving expectations, family gatherings, year-end financial strain, and the weight of social comparison. For many couples, this is when simmering tensions surface.
In the piece, I share practical strategies grounded in cognitive-behavioral principles for managing stress without letting it erode your relationship.
