Summary
In this week's episode, I sit down with my husband, Johnathon Schaech, for a candid look into marriage, money, identity, and creative purpose. Together, we unpack what our financial fights have really been about, how fear shows up for each of us, and why trust — not control — has become the foundation of our partnership. John shares openly about the evolution of his career, the impact sobriety has had on his life and work, and how our move to Nashville restored a sense of peace he didn’t even realize he was missing. We talk honestly about what it looks like to support each other’s dreams without competition, how we navigated my many business reinventions, and why letting go — of perfectionism, chaos, and old stories — has expanded everything from our marriage to our creative expression. This conversation is especially for the women whose partners may not yet fully understand their entrepreneurial dreams. We reflect on the values that have carried us through 13 years of growth — faith, honesty, sovereignty, and mutual respect — and what it means to choose each other again and again.
