There’s a fine line between building your business and jeopardising the relationship with your loved ones. We see two extreme habits that can quietly wreck your personal life when business talk follows you home.
On one end, there’s the Withdrawal Reflex – shutting down, bottling up stress, and leaving your partner completely in the dark. She starts feeling disconnected, and before you know it, her silence speaks louder than words.
On the other end, there’s Open All Hours Syndrome – where every dinner, every car ride, and even quiet moments in front of the TV turn into a never-ending business meeting.
We’ve been guilty of both, and we’ve coached countless business owners through the same struggles. We unpack how to avoid these traps and find a healthy middle ground, so your business thrives without your relationship paying the price.
In this episode you’ll learn:
🔨 Running a business can create tension at home if conversations aren’t managed well.
🔨 Small, intentional updates help maintain open communication without emotional overload.
🔨 Asking for permission before discussing business can prevent unexpected stress for your partner.
🔨 Being clear on whether you need advice or just a listening ear makes conversations more effective.
🔨 Reading the room and choosing the right time for business talk improves how discussions are received.
🔨 A business should enhance your family life, not come at its expense.
