Hustle vs. Balance: The Truth About Building a Business Without Losing Your Mind (or Marriage)

Listen Later

Ever wonder what really goes on behind the scenes of building a multiple-seven-figure practice and a marriage at the same time? In this week’s episode, we ditch the fluff and go all-in on the conversations we have off-mic—about business, mindset, growth, and what it actually takes to scale without burning out (or killing each other 😅).

We kick things off with a rapid-fire Q&A—no prep, no scripts—covering everything from:

  • What we wish we’d done differently with our first offers

  • The real answer to “10K followers or 10 loyal buyers?”

  • Why “hustle culture” isn’t toxic—it’s just misunderstood

  • The fastest way to double your revenue in a service-based business

  • What to do when refunds, team issues, or burnout start testing your mindset

    • Then we get personal—talking about marriage in business, learning to give feedback without burning bridges, and why communication (and coffee ☕) are our secret weapons.

    By the end, we circle back to what entrepreneurship is really about: choosing intentional imbalance, expanding your capacity, and remembering that success is built by those willing to grow through the uncomfortable seasons.
