How to Support Each Other’s Careers While Raising Littles

Building a business and a marriage is already a lot of work. Add in babies, toddlers, and all the chaos of raising littles and it can feel impossible to balance it all. In this episode, we’re pulling back the curtain on how we’ve learned (sometimes the hard way!) to support each other’s careers while raising four young kids.


From ramen noodle budgets and long-distance PhD seasons to explosive business growth and juggling speaking engagements with nap schedules, we’ve lived it. And through it all, we discovered what works (and what doesn’t) when it comes to staying unified in marriage while pursuing God-given callings.


What You’ll Hear in This Episode:

• The backstory of starting a multimillion-dollar business with a 1-pound miracle baby in the NICU.
• Why seasons of sacrifice are part of marriage and how to get through them together.
• The power of schedules, non-negotiables, and respecting each other’s work time.
• How to avoid the trap of unrealistic expectations as a spouse and parent.
• Why communication and prayer are the foundation for balance.
• Lessons we wish we’d learned sooner about saying “yes” and “no.”

Our Takeaway for You:


You can pursue big dreams and raise little ones without losing your marriage in the process. But it takes intentional communication, realistic expectations, and putting family before business opportunities.


At the end of the day, your marriage and kids are eternal; your business isn’t. Do things God’s way, and you’ll see blessing in every area of your home.
