Description

Episode overview

Running your own business can be exhilarating — and quietly exhausting. In this Season 2 Premiere, Karina and Maria open up about the “third partner” that enters many relationships: the business itself. From late-night emails to creative sparks at bedtime, we explore how to protect what matters most while still building big dreams.

You’ll hear Arianna Huffington’s dramatic collapse and redefinition of success, discover why your brain clings to unfinished tasks (the Zeigarnik effect), and get practical nudges and tiny experiments that help you reclaim presence at home — without losing momentum at work.
