The Other Side of Potential
Over time, the conversations we choose to have begin to reflect what matters most.
If you’ve been part of this podcast, you’ve heard me speak about human development, systems thinking, and the ways we make meaning of our lives and work. That work continues—and remains at the core of my coaching and professional practice.
What has changed is the space where I am choosing to have a different kind of conversation.
After the death of my son, Michael, I felt called to create a more personal place—one that speaks directly to the experience of loss, and to the questions that emerge when life no longer looks the way it once did.
That space is now Beyond the Loss.
This podcast is for parents who have lost a child, and for those who support them. It is not about fixing grief or finding closure, but about understanding how we continue to live, to make meaning, and to become—after loss.
If you are looking for my current podcast,
you will now find me there.
I invite you to join me on Beyond the Loss.
You are welcome.

Episode 217: Balancing Marriage, Family, and Business and When to Ask for Help
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Married life can be challenging enough on its own. But when you’re trying to balance it with raising a family and building a business, even the most robust relationships can end up taking strain. And when your time and attention are being demanded by so many key areas, something is bound to end up being neglected.
More often than not, it’s the marriage that ends up being inadvertently sacrificed for the sake of growing and maintaining a thriving business. With so many demands on your time, it can be difficult to make room for marriage counseling, and often it takes the threat of divorce or separation for couples to take action. This is where constellation work can be extremely useful. Underpinned by 70 years of research practice, constellation work can be used to unpack a variety of systems and relationships in your life. It’s an opportunity to do deep work and gain clarity in a compressed amount of time, a boon for couples that can’t afford months, or even years, of marriage counseling.
In today’s solo cast, Dr. Sharon Spano reflects on how she is seeing more and more couples struggle with the strain of marriage, family, and entrepreneurship. With empathy and respect, Dr. Spano unpacks how dynamics in your marriage system can cause problems and offers a breakdown of how the constellation method can help couples gain clarity and receive guidance over the course of a 90-minute session. Tuning in you’ll hear about the special deal she is offering over the Black Friday period, why she put it together, and how listeners can access it.
Seeking help takes courage. And it’s important to remember that you don’t need to take action all on your own. When you have the support of a professional, you can enter a space where reflection, clarity, and growth can readily take place. To learn more about the counseling that Dr. Spano is offering over this period, be sure to tune in today.
