Why High Performing COOs Struggle at Home


Listen Later

You’re a COO in California.

On paper, everything is working. The company is growing, the team respects you, and the results speak for themselves.


But it’s 11:30 p.m.

You’re scrolling on your phone in the dark.

Your partner is already asleep.

And you can’t remember the last real conversation you had that wasn’t about logistics, work, or the kids.


In this episode of Successfully in Love, high-performance relationship strategist Katarina Polonska speaks directly to COOs and senior operational leaders who are exceptional at running companies but feel increasingly disconnected, tense, or lonely at home.


You’ll learn:


Why COOs are uniquely at risk for relationship breakdown


The three most common relationship patterns high-achieving men fall into and how each one quietly sabotages leadership, focus, and decision-making


How emotional disconnection at home shows up as fatigue, reactivity, risk aversion, and burnout at work


Why you can’t “optimize” your way out of relationship problems the way you do business problems


Katarina introduces The RESET Framework: Reveal, Engage, Set new rules which is a practical, no-nonsense approach designed for logical, driven leaders who want real change without blowing up their life or career.


This isn’t about work-life balance.

It’s about protecting your nervous system, your clarity, and your long-term legacy.


If you’ve ever told yourself, “I’ll deal with this at home after the next quarter,” this episode may be the wake-up call you didn’t know you needed.


You don’t have to choose between being a powerful COO and a man who’s actually connected and fulfilled at home.

You can be both.
