What’s it like being married to an entrepreneur? [Anonymous]
About this episode
What happens when your spouse's startup explodes and you're suddenly worth $20 million? The anonymous spouse of a successful founder shares the real truth about identity earthquakes, unconscious power shifts, and the loneliness of being the "hidden partner" in entrepreneurial marriages. She candidly reveals how couples navigate the psychological whiplash of going from breadwinner to background character and why entrepreneurs get divorced when they finally "make it.” [Episode 85] Photo by Kiwihug on Unsplash
