In this “Lessons” episode, Michelle May O’Neil, a relationship and wealth expert, shares why 50% of marriages fail and what you can do to beat the odds. She explains how the foundation of a lasting relationship lies in prioritization—treating family commitments with the same weight as major business deadlines. Michelle dives into the power of boundaries, the importance of being fully present in each role, and why life should be approached like a balanced portfolio. She reveals why time—not money—is the ultimate measure of wealth and how the way we spend it determines the health of our closest relationships. From always making space for date nights to recognizing that the chase shouldn’t end after the wedding, this conversation explores how ambition and intimacy can coexist without one destroying the other.
