I think one of the hardest things about becoming the breadwinner is realizing your spouse doesn’t automatically become the default person carrying the weight of your success.
I built this business.
I grew it.
I became the breadwinner because I created something that worked.
And yes, my husband supports me, cheers me on and picks up what he can.
But sometimes he’s maxed out too.
And I think this is where women can start to feel stuck.
Because the answer isn’t always “he should do more.” Or “I should do more.”
Sometimes the answer is:
I need more support.
A business coach.
Childcare.
A cleaner.
A VA.
A bookkeeper.
People who understand this season.
That realization has been huge for me.
My success does not have to get smaller just because my capacity is full.
But I do have to be willing to ask for help.
To build the village.
To stop expecting one person — including myself — to carry all of it.
That, to me, is what stepping into your power actually looks like.
