Seeing a lot of conversation around “Is your hustle hurting your relationship” CH room. I sat in and listened. I enjoyed the conversation. It wasn’t centered around romantic relationships, a lot of them spoke about putting up boundaries in their 9-5 to be present for family.

They talked about how when you sometimes bring work home the stress from that can keep you from being fully present with the ones you love. They talked about how you can get caught up in the grind that you miss seeing friendships / ppl around you hurting.

They talked about how you can get so caught up in the hustle that you forget about the relationship with yourself. I related to a lot of the conversation and at the end they spoke about solutions and boundary setting so that you can hustle and also be present w ones you love.

Reminded me of Soul. Joey was so caught up in his hustle and his dream that he’d known this barber forever and not once asked about his life or his family. The hustle is necessary, but for me none of it matters if I can’t share with the ones that I love.

It wasn’t a room about giving your dreams for a man or a woman. It was about setting healthy boundaries so that you can have healthy relationships and the career you want. Many times ppl feel like they have to sacrifice one to have the other. You don’t. You can have both.

I enjoyed it and appreciated the insight. Someone mentioned that he answers all his emails and texts in the car before he goes inside his house bc when he walks in the house it’s time for him to put on the hat and focus on being Dad, not the CEO.

And if you’re bringing in the frustrations from your work day into your relationships with your kids, you’re doing them a disservice. It was a dope room, y’all lmao
