Ah, Valentine’s Day. The day of love, heart-shaped chocolates, and—if we’re being honest—yet another reminder that you and your husband might feel more like co-workers than lovers. Sound familiar? If your business is getting all your energy, validation, and passion, while your marriage is running on fumes, then girl, we need to talk. The reality is, work gives you instant validation, while home feels like an endless list of expectations, leading to resentment on both sides. You start feeling unseen, and he starts feeling like he’s competing with your career. But here’s the truth—you fight for success in your business, so why not fight for your marriage too? Start acknowledging what he does, retrain your brain to see the good, and make space for him in your world the way you do for your work. Your career can’t love you back, but a strong, connected marriage can.

When Your Love for Your Business Competes with Your Man | EU 260

You’re exhausted.
Not just physically. Emotionally. You’re running a household, keeping up with your career, holding the family calendar together, and still somehow managing the grocery list. You’re the default parent, the peacekeeper, the one who never stops, even when you should be resting. And somewhere in between the laundry and the late-night emails, you’ve lost the version of yourself that wasn’t running on fumes.

I’m Veronica Cisneros, Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, wife, and mom of three. I know what it’s like to feel disconnected from your spouse, stuck in silent power struggles over household chores, and torn between excelling in your career and actually enjoying your family. I’ve been the people-pleaser, the overachiever, the one trying to “hold it all together” while anxiety worked overtime behind the scenes.

On Empowered and Unapologetic, we’re ditching the guilt and having the conversations no one’s having at the PTA meeting. Here, you’ll get real talk and therapist-backed strategies on:

• Navigating marriage when it feels more like a business partnership than a relationship.
• Breaking the cycle of over-functioning and learning to rest without guilt.
• Sharing the mental and physical load at home—without another chore chart that no one uses.
• Shutting down power-pleasing patterns that leave you drained and resentful.
• Managing the anxiety that comes from constantly being “on.”

If you’re tired of looking like you have it all together while feeling like you’re falling apart, you’re in the right place. This is your space to breathe, laugh, and rebuild connection, without having to compromise yourself in the process.

Let’s do this together.
