Imagine returning home after a hectic day at work, eagerly anticipating the warm embrace of your little girl, only to find her turning towards your spouse instead – a moment Tamra Andress vividly describes as her 'Tombstone moment.' It's a heart-wrenching realization that strikes at the core of one's identity.

You may have pondered the question: What would my Tombstone say when I’m gone? Typically, it revolves around being a loving spouse, parent, and friend. However, for Tamra, the harsh truth unfolded as she saw her role as a loving mother in jeopardy. Her daughter's choice to seek comfort elsewhere was a wake-up call that was a gut punch.

This episode captures the pivotal crossroads where Tamra recognized the need to shift her focus from the relentless pursuit of business success to nurturing her marriage and family. The fear that life would slip away, leaving her unloved and alone, became a compelling catalyst for change.

This narrative resonated with us and it will for you too. Take a moment to listen to this powerful episode – it's a poignant reminder not to take life for granted.

In this episode, we’re cutting through the noise and getting real. No matter how successful your business becomes, it won't guarantee happiness. It won’t make your spouse love you more, improve your kids' behavior, or earn you genuine admiration.

We've seen too many marriages falter under the misconception that achievements lead to happiness. The truth is, happiness is a choice. If you want to cultivate a thriving marriage, raise a healthy family, and build a great business, you'll need to make intentional—and likely different—choices.
