Podcast
Written By

Do you ever feel like your husband has become simply a roommate? Or your relationship is more of a business partnership? Does your spouse complain that you care more about your business than him?Today I chat with Susie Miller, a relationship coach for entrepreneurs, about how relationships are an essential form of self care, starting with your relationship with yourself and then radiating outwards to your marriage and family.

Susie and I talk about how to prevent your marriage from becoming a business partnership, the three self-care acts she used to feed hustle during her book launch, and what you need to know as a woman to turn off your business brain at the end of the day and be fully present in your relationships.

Susie Miller, known internationally as the Better Relationship Coach, is an author, speaker, and coach. She is dedicated to helping you create better relationships in 30 days or less! For over 20 years, she has helped people reduce stress, improve communication, increase intimacy, and create meaningful relationships through tried and true methods for long lasting results. Susie is the author of Listen, Learn, Love: How to Dramatically Improve Your Relationships in 30 Days or Less! Susie has been married to her best friend, John, a lifelong entrepreneur, for 32 years and has three grown children.

This conversation came at a critical time in my life as I prioritize my own relationship and make sure that when I look up from all this hustle a couple of years down the road, my marriage hasn’t faded away.

“When we take time to invest in our relationships, we are better as our whole best selves.” - Susie Miller
