About this episode

What happens when you and your spouse are both growing, but life is pulling each of you in different directions?In Episode 82 of Mpowered Living, Ann Sheu sits down with Meghan and Wes Hickman, who are coaches, EOS Implementers, facilitators, and partners in both life and work, for a candid conversation about building a marriage with intention.Over nearly two decades together, Meghan and Wes have experienced different seasons of professional growth, shifting responsibilities, changing priorities, and the inevitable pressure that comes when the people and commitments around you need more from you. Their conversation with Ann explores what it takes to keep coming back to the relationship through those changes rather than simply letting life dictate what happens next.In this episode, they discuss:• Navigating personal growth when partners evolve at different speeds• Creating shared values and goals that help a couple stay aligned• Recognizing when outside stress is influencing tension inside the relationship• Handling responsibilities at home without turning every request into a favor• Creating space for difficult conversations before frustration builds• Knowing when to engage in conflict, and when a little distance may improve the conversationThe conversation is especially relevant for couples and high performers trying to build meaningful careers without giving the people closest to them whatever energy happens to be left over.If you’ve ever wondered how two ambitious people can continue becoming more of themselves while still building something together, this episode offers plenty to reflect on.Connect with Meghan & Wes HickmanMeghan Hickman: https://implementer.eosworldwide.com/meghan-hickman/Wes Hickman: https://implementer.eosworldwide.com/wes-hickman/
