450. Business, Mental Health & Relationships with Marie Vakarkis

In this episode, I sit down with Marie Vakakis, therapist, mental health and relationship educator, and founder of The Therapy Hub in Melbourne. We get personal. We talk about the early days of building a business with little kids, managing money stress, navigating a relationship through big life changes, and why the work you do on yourself matters just as much as the work you do in your business. In this episode: How I started my business by accident while juggling a corporate job and two toddlers What managing money really looks like when you leave a salary behind Why communication is the skill that makes or breaks your relationship AND your business The "stealth bomber" approach to hard conversations (and why it works for introverted partners) The strength that drives my business success but can bulldoze everything at home Why investing in your relationship is just as important as investing in your business Guest Interviewer: Marie Vakakis, therapist, mental health and relationship educator, host of This Complex Life podcast, and founder of The Therapy Hub, Melbourne.
