Your Business Is Booming But Your Relationship’s on Life Support

24 July

Show Notes

Most people think the biggest risk to their business is a market downturn or a cashflow squeeze. But for many business owners, the real risk is closer to home, it’s the strain it can quietly take on your relationship.

It’s not just the late nights or long hours. It’s decision fatigue. Competing priorities. That creeping disconnect between your calendar and your connection. And it doesn’t happen overnight but keeps silently building up bit by bit.

Let’s get to the core of what it really takes to stay connected when you're building something big together. We unpack decision fatigue, conflicting energy cycles, unspoken resentment, and how to get in sync without turning your relationship into another task on the to-do list.

You’ll walk away with tangible strategies for setting boundaries, building relationship-focused rhythms, and creating a success plan that works for both your bank account and your home life.

If you’re in business with your partner - or even just bringing work home every night - this one’s essential listening.
