  1. Accountability: Calling Each Other Out with Compassion

    17 MAR

    Accountability: Calling Each Other Out with Compassion

    In this second episode of Co-Founder Therapy, we unpack a topic that quietly makes or breaks most partnerships: accountability. After a difficult, emotional conversation that almost derailed both our business and our friendship, we reflect on what happens when commitments slip, expectations go unspoken, and two people who care deeply about each other are afraid to call each other out. From ADHD struggles and over-promising to failed productivity systems and misaligned expectations, this episode is an honest look at how even the most motivated co-founders can lose momentum—and how trust gets rebuilt when you finally face it together. More than anything, this conversation is about what happens after the hard talk: the compassion, the laughter, and the effort it takes to repair trust and move forward as partners. If you’re building something with a friend—or trying to navigate accountability in any relationship—this episode offers a real, unfiltered glimpse into what that process can look like. And if you’re here listening to episode two, thank you. Your curiosity, support, and willingness to sit in these honest conversations with us means the world.

  2. Partnerships: Mixing Church & State

    3 MAR

    Partnerships: Mixing Church & State

    In this vulnerable first episode of Co-Founder Therapy, we share how a client–trainer relationship turned into a friendship—and then into the bold decision to build a retreat business together. We talk honestly about trust, burnout, discipline, and what it really means to “mix church and state” when your business partner is someone you love. Near the end, the conversation takes a raw turn as we name the fear every founder carries. If you’ve ever built (or considered building) something meaningful with a friend, this episode is your invitation to lean into one of the uncomfortable conversations that make it worth it.
