Saved Seats - Replaying Libby Leffler on Protecting Your Future Self: Your Marriage and Money

June 9, 2026·1h 17m
Episode Description from the Publisher

This is a replay of an earlier episode with Libby Leffler of First. Libby Leffler built an entire company around the conversation most couples never have. As founder and CEO of First, a platform making prenuptial agreements accessible to modern couples, she's reframing the prenup not as a divorce document but as a partnership design tool - the first legal agreement a couple makes, not the last resort. In this episode, Alexis sits down with Libby to explore what it actually means to build a financial foundation before a marriage, why money is harder to talk about than sex, and what the $80 trillion great wealth transfer means for women right now. They also go deep on integration over balance, raising daughters who watch you work, focus as a superpower, and what it looks like to lead a startup while showing up as a parent. What you'll learn in this episode: Why nearly 50% of millennials now get a prenup — and why women are initiating that conversation at the same rate as men. How a prenup protects the future you, not just the assets you have today — including your business equity, IP, real estate, and even your social media handles. Why money is the last great taboo and what it will take to normalize financial conversations the way we've normalized talking about sex. - What "partnership design" actually looks like when couples approach a prenup as a joining point. How Libby integrates running a high-growth startup with raising young children — and why she's replaced "balance" with seasons.
