What do you think as a boutique owner would have made your marriage better or the communication

your marriage better that you would do differently, like during the time of owning

boutique being married at the same time?

Easy.

What?

I needed to communicate better.

In what way?

Yeah.

Like it turned, there were so many times where it was like sarah's little store

mentality like well sarah has her small business and i'm and in my mind it was not small at all

and i mean in our community it wasn't small at all yeah and the time that i put into it wasn't small at

all yeah and so that is one of those things that um you know, I think I allowed my husband, who was very supportive,

but I think I allowed him to maybe think of it a little bit as an afterthought where it was never an

afterthought for me. Because there was actually a time that it was a hobby. Like I wasn't sure if I wanted to be all in, but then when I knew I wanted

to be all in, I don't think I told everybody else I was going to be all in. I think I just

expected it, to them to understand. And they didn't. And then, you know, one Saturday a month

turned into two, turned into four, turned into five, if there was five, right? And then

six o'clock on Friday night turned into eight o'clock on Friday nights. And I just kept on. And I, in my mind, I was like, well, I have to, but I don't think I communicated that to everybody else properly. Yeah, that was a regret. And with that, then I don't think they respected it. And I think there was a little bit of resentment around it, you know?

And then that held me back.

I felt like I was making excuses for my time an awful lot.

So, yeah, that would be a big.

Yeah.
