Is Your Marriage Taking a Backseat to Your Brand? Let’s Talk!


Hey Sizz! 🔥

I’m coming in hot with some real talk today, so buckle up.

Sis, I see you out here hustling, grinding, building your brand, and chasing those dreams, and while I am SO proud of you, I gotta hit you with a dirty truth—your husband isn’t interested in your brand.

I know, that stings a bit, but let me explain. See, I didn’t have anyone to tell me this when I started building my brand and business over 15 years ago, and I wish that I did.

So trust me when I say—HE didn’t marry your brand. He married YOU—the woman who once made time for late-night talks, spontaneous date nights, and effortless connection. He married the woman who would light up the room with her energy and joy, not the wife who’s constantly too “busy” or “on” for her business.

Listen, boo, if you’re not careful, your marriage can take a backseat while you build this empire of yours. And he’s not just sitting on the sidelines waiting for you to finish. He’s longing for the woman he fell in love with. The one who prioritized him, loved him deeply, and gave him her undivided attention—before the brand, before the busyness.

This isn’t about choosing between your dreams and your man. It’s about balance. It’s about making sure your empire doesn’t come at the expense of your marriage. You can be both the powerhouse boss AND the loving, present wife—but you’ve gotta check in with yourself and with him.

So here’s the tough question: when’s the last time you really prioritized your relationship? When’s the last time you saw your husband, like really saw him, and reminded him that he still comes first?

I’m sorry, boo, but your brand and biz don’t need more attention right now. Your marriage and relationship with your husband do. 💯

5 Ways to Make Your Man Feel Like He’s Still Your #1 (Even When You’re Chasing Your Dreams)

  1. Put the Phone Down, Girl: When y’all are having dinner or just sitting on the couch, put that phone away. Like, alllll the way away. Ain’t nobody ever felt cherished while their partner was scrolling through emails. Give him that undivided attention, even if just for 15 minutes, and watch his face light up like you just handed him the remote. 😏📱
  2. Make Him Your Favorite ‘Notification’: Surprise him with a random “thinking of you” text or a voice note during the day. Make it spicy 🌶️ or sweet 🍯, but make sure he knows he’s still on your mind. It’s like setting an alarm, but this one’s for making your man smile.
  3. Dust Off Your Dating Skills: Remember those days when y’all would go out and it didn’t matter if it was a fancy restaurant or grabbing tacos? Do that. Plan a date (yes, YOU plan it!)—even if it’s just a walk in the park 🌳 or watching that ridiculous show he loves 📺. It doesn’t have to be fancy, just fun and real.
  4. Say Yes to That Goodnight Kiss—Like You Mean It: Instead of the usual peck before bed, add a little extra something. You know what I mean, sis. Don’t let those kisses become routine 💋. Make ‘em feel like the good ole days when you used to linger. He’ll appreciate the spark.
  5. Girl, He Doesn’t Want to Always Take Your Picture: The moment isn’t always about YOU, Sizz. Sometimes, put the camera down and just be present. Capture the memories in your heart, not just on your phone. Let him know you see him, too—because he wants to feel like more than just your personal photographer. 📸💑

Let’s keep it real, keep it spicy, and make sure your marriage sizzles right alongside that empire you’re building. 🔥❤️
