Some weeks, there just isn’t anything left in the tank.
In this episode, we’re pulling back the curtain on what it’s really like to run a business, maintain a marriage, show up for other people, and still try to take care of yourself when you’re overwhelmed. We talk about the difference between pushing through and knowing when to rest, the pressure of keeping commitments, burnout, setting boundaries, hormone changes, and why sometimes the most productive thing you can do is absolutely nothing.
If you’ve ever felt like your brain has too many tabs open, this episode is for you.
About The Other Owner
The Other Owner is a podcast about what it really takes to run a business with the person you share your life with. Hosted by Todd and Alex Hess, co-owners of a family painting company, each episode digs into the honest, messy, and rewarding reality of being business partners and life partners at the same time—dividing roles, navigating conflict, making big decisions together, and keeping both the company and the relationship healthy. Whether you’re already running a business with your spouse or just curious how couples make it work, pull up a chair and hear it from the other owner.
