Your Partner is Your Biggest Career Decision

Weddings, work, and the “soft life.” Cass and Ciarra unpack why your partner may be the most consequential career decision you’ll ever make—and how to choose love that amplifies, not extracts. They dig into emotional labor in cis-hetero dynamics, what’s different in many queer partnerships, and the realities of going from solo to building a business with your person. Then they redefine success beyond hustle, talk nervous-system-friendly ambition, and share “sacred descent” practices for finding joy along the way.

✨ Highlights
• Partnership that accelerates (or stalls) your career
• Emotional extraction vs. equitable love
• Soft life energy without abandoning purpose
• Solopreneurship, layoffs, and scaling together
• Sacred descent: joy pockets, community, and self-worth beyond metrics
