Running a business does NOT happen in a vacuum. As business owners, our personal lives and working lives are deeply intertwined — each affects the other. So can you grow your business without sacrificing your relationships?
In this episode of the HerBusiness podcast, I’m sitting down with Life Coach and Relationship Expert Sharon Pope to explore the intersections of business and love. We’re talking through power dynamic shifts, outearning your partner, muting ambitions to ‘keep the peace’, and how to fill your own cup.
If you have ever felt torn between growing your business successfully and navigating your personal relationships (because it is a struggle to balance both!), this is the episode you need.
Here’s What You’ll Discover in the Episode:
- Why you can’t separate your “business self” from your “personal self” as an entrepreneur (even though we all certainly try!)
- How to prioritise yourself first, before both the business and others, so you’re never pouring from an empty cup
- What to do if you’re evolving in life and business… but your partner isn’t
- The hidden dynamics that come to play when women start outearning their partners, and how to navigate them
- How to have the hard, but needed, conversations that create connection rather than conflict in relationships, while running a successful business
- Why your business community is so crucial when your friends or your partner don’t fully understand the business journey
