Episode #945
What do you do when you're committed to personal growth, but your partner isn't? How can you encourage them without making them feel judged or pressured?
In this episode, Doug and Chris break down a common struggle for men—wanting their wife to invest in herself but not knowing how to support her in a way that actually works. They reveal why pushing too hard can backfire, why leading by example is the most powerful strategy, and how to create a space where growth happens naturally.
They discuss the difference between sharing your journey with excitement versus telling your wife what she "should" do. Doug opens up about his own experiences, the lessons he's learned, and how he's seen transformation happen in relationships when men focus on becoming the best version of themselves first.
If you've ever felt frustrated watching your partner stay stuck while you evolve, this conversation will give you the clarity and tools to lead in a way that inspires—not pressures.
Listen now and start leading by example.
