Have you ever looked around at your life and thought, “Wow, we built something amazing”—only to realize your relationship feels more like a business partnership than a love story? If so, you’re not alone.

In this episode of Relationship Reset, Katie dives into power couple burnout—what happens when the pursuit of success leaves your marriage running on fumes. From real-life stories (like Sarah and Mark, the “perfect-on-paper” couple who felt more like roommates) to research-backed insights, you’ll learn how burnout sneaks into your relationship and quietly drains intimacy, playfulness, and connection.

You’ll discover:

• The four key signs of power couple burnout (and how to spot them in your relationship).
• Why high-achieving couples are especially vulnerable to emotional disconnection.
• The hidden ways stress awakens old survival strategies that sabotage communication.
• Practical tools to reset responsibilities, reconnect through micro-moments, and redefine success together.

Because here’s the truth: success in your career doesn’t guarantee success in your relationship. Burnout doesn’t have to be the cost of achievement—but you need intentional tools to protect your connection while you thrive at work and at home.
