Managing the Hustle: Entrepreneurship, Therapy, and Life Beyond the Field
Hey y’all! Today it's different.
In this episode of the Petty Talk Podcast, we slow it down a bit.
We talk about what it's really like trying to balance running a business, taking care of your family, and still making time for the softball field. It ain’t always easy—but it’s always real.
We get into the stuff people don’t talk about enough:
• What it feels like to be the boss and still feel pressure
• Going to therapy and learning how to grow
• Why family and respect matter more than wins
• And yeah... some tattoo stories too!
If you’ve ever felt like you’re juggling everything at once—work, relationships, sports, parenting—this episode’s for you.
So pull up, press play, and let’s talk about life beyond the field. No filters. Just love, laughs, and lessons.
