Can you build a successful career, raise a family, maintain a marriage, take care of yourself—and somehow still have a sex life?

Technically, yes.

But you're probably going to need some help.

In Episode 15 of The Truth About Healing, Dana is back with her husband, real estate entrepreneur Eric Stein, for Part 2 of their candid conversation about marriage, ambition, parenting, and what it actually takes to build businesses while building a family.

This time, they're getting even more honest.

Dana and Eric talk about the reality of being two highly driven, self-employed people raising young children: the impossible schedules, division of responsibilities, disappointment, intimacy, exhaustion, therapy, delegation, and learning that supporting your partner's ambition doesn't require sacrificing your own.

Because there's a difference between having it all and doing it all yourself.

And trying to do the latter is a pretty reliable way to burn out.
