He talks candidly about the difference between &quot;business Mitch&quot; and &quot;relationship Mitch,&quot; why he doesn&#39;t bring every work frustration home, and how oversharing the small stuff without context can unintentionally create friction or resentment in a relationship.</p><p>Erina brings a different perspective, having navigated a past relationship where her time and work weren&#39;t fully respected, compared to now being with a partner who understands the demands of running a business firsthand. Together they unpack the power of clarity, communication, and setting expectations early, plus why protecting your energy is just as important as protecting your time when you&#39;re the one carrying the business.</p><p>If you&#39;re a trade business owner trying to balance a demanding business with a healthy relationship at home, this episode is full of honest, practical takeaways.</p><p>Follow the hosts:<a href="https://www.instagram.com/mitchvan_/">@mitchvan_</a><a href="https://www.instagram.com/erinaroxx/">@erinaroxx</a></p><p><br></p><p>We&#39;ve got the tools you need to scale your business, automate, hire, and delegate. <a href="https://upscale-coaching.com/upscale-discovery-call-rr">Book your call</a> with our team to talk strategy and learn more about our program.</p><p><br></p>
