058 | Friends with an entrepreneur – an honest conversation with my best friend about how my work impacts our relationship

Something I’m all about exploring here on the podcast is not only the impact running a business has on us as business owners, but also how it can affect those closest to us. It’s safe to say that the dynamics of my friendships have shifted since I started my business. Through experience, I've discovered that expecting friends to be followers/supporters of my work is an unhealthy line to draw, for both them and me. It can be all too easy to begin associating how a friend feels about you to how involved they are with your business and this is something Bec and I have really worked through over the years. The truth is, over time (and trust me this has been a learning curve) I’ve found so much joy in having my friends stay in their lane and look for specific business in support in those who 'get it'. In this episode, my best friend joined me to explore how it’s looked from her perspective; it really was a fascinating episode to record and one I think so many of you will resonate with! Be warned - it’s a VERY chatty conversation so if that’s your thing, then you’re in for a treat… _____ Enjoyed the episode? I’d love to hear your thoughts and get connected with you over on Instagram.
