Ever felt like your partner just doesn’t get it when it comes to your business? Maybe you've heard things like “Are you working again?” or “How much are you even making?” while you’re building your dream between nap times and dinner prep.

You’re not alone.
In this episode of Coffee, Clients & Naptime, I am getting real about what happens when your partner doesn’t fully understand your business, and what you can do to bridge the gap with empathy, strategy, and clear boundaries.

Whether you’ve felt unsupported, dismissed, or just plain exhausted trying to explain your business dreams, this episode offers the tools and language you need to start building true partnership at home.
