So, your career is very important to you. Does your partner understand that?
I happen to have a husband who admires my drive. And his support makes it possible for me to take on more responsibilities at work and have a fulfilling marriage and family life at the same time.
Cory Martin is my husband and COO in everything I do. We’ve been together for six years and have two wonderful (and crazy!) kiddos.
On this episode of Career Confessions, Cory joins me to describe how we created a long-term vision for our family and explain how a foundation in personal development made the transition from friendship to relationship easy for us.
We weigh in on why it’s crucial for driven women to find a partner who supports our ambition, and Cory describes why he became a stay-at-home dad and what that shift was like for him.
Listen in for insight on getting buy-in from your partner by explaining WHY you want to do something new and get our top secrets to building a successful, supportive marriage!
