In this heartfelt and refreshingly honest episode, we sit down with Tracy Proud, founder of Nest Counselling and specialist in relationship therapy, to talk about the unique challenges that come with working, living, and raising a family alongside your partner. Tracy shares why communication breakdowns are so common, especially for couples who work together and offers practical advice on how to protect both your relationship and your business.

We dive into:

• Why traditional weekly therapy might not be enough (and the power of immersive retreats)
• How to set clear boundaries between work life and home life
• Strategies to manage resentment and avoid emotional burnout
• The "Four Horsemen" communication habits that can harm your relationship and how to fix them
• How to keep the romantic connection alive (even when the laundry and business admin pile up)

Tracy also opens up about her personal story: from growing up with adversity to building a thriving practice that helps couples reconnect and rebuild.

If you work with your partner, feel stuck in endless work-talk loops, or just want to strengthen your connection, this episode is packed with wisdom, humour, and tools you can start using today.

In this powerful and deeply honest episode, Verity sits down with Nathalie from Spine Tingling Marriage—a coach for married mothers—to unpack the raw, often unspoken truth about what happens to relationships after babies, businesses, and burnout enter the chat.

Nathalie shares her own story of losing herself after motherhood, the unrealistic expectations we place on our partners, and how matrescence, a term few have heard but every mother has felt, impacts intimacy, identity, and emotional connection in marriage.

Together, they explore:

• Why resentment builds silently in so many relationships
• What matrescence really is and how it affects every area of a woman’s life
• How to reconnect with your partner when you’re both exhausted
• Why scheduling your marriage is as important as any job or invoice
• Tiny shifts you can make today to rekindle love, teamwork, and appreciation

Whether you’re a tradie wife balancing the books, kids, and emotional labour or just feeling like your marriage has taken a backseat this episode will remind you: you're not alone, and there is another way.
