## Resource

Picture being married to someone who thinks 10 steps ahead, has standards stuck in their head (not on paper), assumes everyone should just know how to do things their way, and gets frustrated when people don't meet expectations they never articulated. Now, picture that person is you. In this episode of Beyond the Bombshell , Michelle breaks down the annual Easter spat (it wasn't about the eggs, it was about the six other things from the past six weeks), why she can't build a policy and procedures manual for home life, and the impossible dynamic of being business partners with your spouse when you're opposites. From randomly stuffing plastic eggs with money to going to bed with an invisible shield between them, this is the reality of high standards, poor communication, and two people who both think the other is the problem. Plus, their one life hack: the 6 AM coffee talk after sleeping on it.
