Episode notes

The chapter explores the challenges of starting a business with a life partner, emphasizing the importance of clear communication, setting shared goals, and emotional regulation. It delves into the struggles of maintaining intimacy while balancing professional success, facing societal norms, and personal upbringing. The conversation underscores the significance of emotional resilience, self-care, and sensory moments for founders to enhance relationships and productivity.

Dr. Jessica Gold (@blissscience) helps founders live an intentional and passionate life — which ultimately impacts their entrepreneurial success. She wants to put intentional self-care back on the map in a field obsessed with productivity and tracking metrics.

In our conversation, we dive deep into vulnerable places: from romance, passion, and love to dealing with stressful interpersonal conflicts. Dr. Jessica exposes the do-it-(for)-yourself frameworks that can help founders to stay level-headed when challenges seem insurmountable.
