IN LOVE: How are you trekking in your relationship as a couple in business? Are you respecting each other? Are you finding it hard to toe the line between business and home? Do you squabble like husband and wife like you do at home when you are in 'work mode?' It is not easy to maintain a relationship and business at the same time. But the relationship should be #1 at all costs! Learn how to improve on this.
IN LIFE - do you have one or is your business taking over? Many couples need permission to actually have a life. The tradie thinks if he doesn't work he doesn't get paid - but you need some semblance of balance too. So how do you strike it?? First you need to be clear about what you want and how you want your life to look both now and into the future. Otherwise - you can just wander aimlessly with no real plans as to what you want your business to provide.

Why Early Retirement Didn’t Work for Me (and Why Changing Your Mind is OK)
This week, Kate Muldoon, founder of Ladies with Tradies, sits down with Ops Manager Megan Jackson for a raw and honest conversation about the challenges of early retirement and the lessons learned from stepping back from the business she built.
Kate shares her deeply personal journey of navigating mental health struggles, rediscovering her purpose, and the power of trusting yourself in a world full of conflicting advice. This episode is packed with insights for anyone who’s ever questioned their path, struggled with burnout, or felt the pull to make a change.
In this episode, we cover:
- Why early retirement isn’t always the dream it’s made out to be.
- The importance of setting boundaries to protect your energy and mental health.
- How vulnerability can lead to growth, connection, and resilience.
- Why it’s OK (and necessary) to reassess and change direction in your business and life.
- Tips for building a support network that lifts you up when times are tough.
Key Takeaways:
- It’s OK to change your mind: Life evolves, and so should your choices. Don’t be afraid to realign your goals to match your current needs.
- Trust yourself: External advice can be helpful, but ultimately, you know what’s best for you and your business.
- Vulnerability is a strength: Asking for help and leaning on others can lead to profound growth and deeper relationships.
- Set healthy boundaries: Learn to say no, protect your well-being, and prioritise what truly matters.
