Description:

What does it really take to stay connected in love, life, and business—especially when you’re doing all three with the same person?

In this deeply personal and heart-opening episode of the Plenty Podcast, I’m joined by my favorite guest (and life partner), Mike Watts, as we celebrate 11 years of marriage and 14 years of building a life and business together.

We get into the real talk—what we’ve learned (and unlearned) about marriage, money, parenting, business, and our own healing journeys. From making the big decision to move to Nashville, to shifting from survival mode into what I’m calling the era of easy blessings, this conversation offers a behind-the-scenes look at how we’re evolving as individuals, as partners, and as co-founders.
Here’s what we dive into:

  • Why filling your own cup is essential before pouring into your partnership
  • The systems we’ve put in place to support—not strain—our relationship while running a business together
  • Mike’s health and healing journey, including his decision to have surgery to remove a titanium plate and what that taught us about listening to your body
  • What it really takes to co-parent while building a company (hint: it’s not about doing it all)
  • Insights Mike gained from leading men’s circles in our Relaxed Money community—and why men need spaces to be seen and supported too
  • How we’re redefining our relationship with success, rest, and what's enough

We also talk about the importance of clear communication (especially around finances), how modern fatherhood is evolving, and why it’s critical to create a nurturing environment for both our children and ourselves.

This episode is packed with honesty, laughter, practical wisdom, and love. Whether you’re navigating a new season in your partnership, craving more ease in your business, or simply seeking a deeper connection to your own truth—this conversation is for you.
