Ever had someone you love call your dream unrealistic and feel your chest drop? This episode dives deep into what happens when love meets ambition—and one partner doesn’t believe in the other’s vision. We unpack a real listener letter from someone trying to launch a business while their partner keeps saying no, asking the bigger question: Can love survive without support?

In this episode, we talk about what emotional and financial support really look like when the stakes are high. Is your partner protecting you from failure—or holding you back from growth? We explore how to separate your identity from your ideas, how to respond to criticism without taking it personal, and how to tell the difference between constructive feedback and control.

You’ll learn practical steps to test your business dreams with low risk—like pilot launches, preorders, and service trials—plus communication tools that rebuild trust and respect at home. We’ll also discuss the signs your partner’s “concern” is rooted in fear or insecurity, and how to stand firm in your purpose without losing love in the process.

If you’ve ever felt small around someone who should make you feel seen, this episode is for you. Tap play for honest talk about love, ambition, and self-worth, and how to know when support is real—or just lip service.

SPEAKER_00:

What up, what up, what up, what up? It's your boy, Big Slick, and welcome to another episode of Talk Your Shit. But first, before we even get into it, I want to give a shout out to all the listeners. Whether you at home, at work, in your car, or the truck drivers on the road, I appreciate you tuning in. Listen, we got another great episode for today. We're gonna jump right into it. But first, let me tell you what I'm gonna do. We got another letter in. I'm gonna read the letter, then I'm gonna give you my honest, uncut, unfiltered, raw opinion because that's the only thing I know how to do. You know what I'm saying? Is talk my shit. So let's jump right into it. When your partner doesn't support your dreams, I'm trying to start my own business, but my partner keeps saying it's unrealistic. I love them, but I'm starting to feel small. Can love survive without support? It's a good question. Let's jump right into it. So you're trying to start your own business, and your partner is saying it's unrealistic. First of all, if you got a partner, that's exactly how they're supposed to act like your partner, you know. I'm saying that's supposed to be your ride or die. That's supposed to be the person that's with you, you know. I'm saying, yes, the person supposed to support you. Because if not, why are you even wasting time with this person? What are you even doing there if you're not supporting my dreams? And why are you shooting it down? Why are you a dream killer saying it's unrealistic, right? Like, what makes you start in the small your you having your own business? What's so unrealistic about that? You know, what's what's wrong with that? You know, if you got a partner, your partner's supposed to be there to support you and to hold you down. Now, let's ask yourself is your partner being truthful with you, or your partner is just hating on your idea? Is your business idea unrealistic or not? This says you just you want to start your own business. So is the idea of starting your own business is unrealistic, or what you doing with that business? What is the business? Is the business is the business itself unrealistic? Not the idea of you having your own business, but what is the business? What are you doing? You know, you you selling goats. I don't know what what are you doing? Maybe that's unrealistic. I'm trying to see in a letter which which one it is. So I'm just gonna go with this. Just the idea of you starting your own business is unrealistic. And if your partner can't support the idea of you starting your own business, then you need to cut this partner out and keep it moving, you know. It it it makes no sense to be with somebody that doesn't support your dreams, and you know, I know a lot of times when somebody starts their own business or have business ideas, the best thing is is to keep your ideas to yourself, but that's when you're dealing with outside people because a lot of outside people hate and shoot down your dream before you even start. But when you're dealing with your partner, that's supposed to be if that's the only person that supports your dream, then that person that should be that person. It's like if you don't got your partners to support you, who the hell else you got? Right? That's supposed to be your number one fan, man. If you're rocking out with somebody, that person supposed to be your number one fan, and if they not, then you need to kick that person to the curb and be with somebody that actually supports something you want to do. Because if not, it makes no sense to even to to to even be with that person. Now you say, I love them, but you starting to feel small. So you having love for somebody that's making you feel small, don't even go together. That's an oxymoron. Well, why you should you should feel big, you should feel fulfilled, right? That's how your partner is supposed to make you feel. Your partner never supposed to make you feel small or or diminish your ideas or say stuff like it's unrealistic or you know, make you feel stupid or something like that. That's not what a partner is supposed to do. They supposed to uplift you, right? They supposed to support what you're what you're doing, you know. It don't supposed to be like you're feeling small. So if you're feeling small, then you need to keep it moving. This is not the person you need to be with. This is not the person, or this person might be a hater. This person might be insecure, right? It might be now. You have a you know, you have this idea of starting your own business. This person might be like, Oh, if you start your own business, you might leave me. So they might be knocking down the business idea just to keep you, you know, where where they want you at. They might not want you to surpass them, but little do they know if that's your partner, when you shine, they shine. You're right. When I shine, you shine. Y'all know nothing about that, but that's what it's supposed to be, you know. When one person shine, the other person shine, and that that's how it's supposed to go, you know. I mean, but if if not, then get out that situation, keep it moving. If you're feeling small and you're in a situation, find another situation where you feel like you're a giant because that's the way you're supposed to feel if you're with somebody that you love and they're supporting you. That's that's how it's supposed to feel. And if you do feel small, that person's supposed to put you on their shoulders so you can feel tall. You know what I mean? This is big slick. Y'all better stop playing with me out here, man. Come on now. I'm gonna give it to you straight. It's been another episode of Talk Your Shit. You already know what it is. I'm gonna talk my shit and I'm gonna give it to you raw and uncut, like I always do. Listen, if you want to be a part of the show, email me, email your letter in at talk your shit daily at gmail.com.
