This weeks Unburden Your Business podcast is FIRE!

I have guest Megan Buckley, a relationship mindset coach, talk to us about being working professionals and building deeper connections.

She breaks down the typical struggles business owners face and how to start working on building or healing them.

Go give it a listen! Let us know what you loved or what you'd like to hear more about. I'd love to have her back to help you more ❤

Giving yourself permission to focus on your relationships are as important as the focus you give to your business. Put in the work.

As a business owner, it's so easy to get immersed in our work, our "business baby."

We tend to let other relationships, whether romantic or business connections, fall to the wayside. We have to stop pouring ourselves solely into the business and then waking up one day to find ourselves feeling empty in other areas.

How do you tap back into those deeper connections after skirting by giving the bare minimum for so long? You acknowledge you're not happy or you're seeing red flags and you're ready to fix that. If you just keep going on the same as you always have, things can spiral. You could become resentful to yourself or your partner. It can get so bad it might be something you can't come back from... so why not act now?!

Start giving over some focus and attention to the relationship you're wanting to build or fix. Either way, you need to start by opening a line of communication. This can start with recognizing you're a damn good business owner who clearly has the skills to get shit done. So write down your strengths and use them! Then note your partner's strengths and make sure you bring those out too.

You're going to have to work on your conflict resolution to get anywhere. Don't assume you know what your partner is thinking. You're going to need to ask questions! And don't assume your partner understands where you're coming from or what you have to say. Ask them what they heard, that way you can clarify any gaps of miscommunication.

This isn't specific to people with romantic partners. This goes for any type of relationship where you're feeling like you're not aligned with who you're trying to communicate with. If the relationship is feeling off, it's time to decide whether or not you need to give it more focus.
