How to Balance Business and Relationships Without Guilt

Feeling guilty every time the business wins and a relationship takes a back seat? This episode is for the business owner who wants big goals and good relationships, and is tired of being told to pick one.

Co-host Rebecca Kaufman, who also happens to be Amanda's sister, puts Amanda in the hot seat on relationships and business building. Amanda, founder of Clairvenu, hears some version of the relationship question on practically every call. She gets into the arenas of life, the seasons that change how available you can be, the boundary that defines every relationship, and the one-inch square that decides whose opinion gets a vote.
