And how do you balance providing with protecting your own happiness?Some of these stories will make you question your own standards, others might hit a little too close to home, but all of them ask the same core question: Are you building a life together… or just supporting someone else’s?Let’s get into it.🎙 Hosted by Bailey Levesque - Career Coach & Business Consultant 🩷New episodes weekly.
