180: Productivity, business and relationships and PRIDE with Kate Ciurej (my partner!)
Today I have something really, really really special for you. And that is a conversation with my partner! My spouse, my wife, my significant other, my BEST FRIEND… Kate Ciurej.
It’s been on my mind to do an episode with Kate for a while, but this episode comes out in June, and it’s PRIDE month, so I thought – what better time.
Kate has been my #1 supporter in my business in just about every way you can imagine, some of which you’ll hear about in this podcast. She’s also just an incredibly smart, thoughtful human and had some really smart things to say in this episode.
In this episode, we talked about what it’s like to be the spouse of a small business owner, some of the things small business owners can do to be more supportive partners (and vice versa), the mental load (which, as you’ll hear – in my house, it’s Kate who really carries). We also talked about one of Kate’s big interests: productivity and time management! She shared some great tips for managing tasks and projects that I know will be super helpful to you.
She also shared some very exciting news for our little family that I’ve been holding out on a little bit.
