I’ve had a bunch of people ask for Chick’s interview podcast…. here it is…. from YouTube…

What happens when your kid grows up inside your business—the success, the chaos, the sacrifices… and the crash?
Our daughter Natalie had a front-row seat to ALL of it.
She watched us build Sometimes Spouse from a small family business into a major franchise. But behind the success were long hours, missed family time, employees, stress, mistakes, and lessons none of us could have learned in a classroom.
And Natalie wasn't just watching.
She worked in the business. She cleaned. She answered phones. She did handyman work with her dad. She became a franchise trainer. She even helped run the company.
Then she watched it all come crashing down.
So after seeing the good, the bad, and the downright ugly side of entrepreneurship… what did she do?
She started her own business. 😂
In this episode of Coastal Conversations, Christina sits down with Natalie for a mother-daughter conversation we've probably needed to have for years.
Did growing up around entrepreneurs inspire her?
Did we sacrifice too much?
Does she resent us?
What did she learn from watching us succeed—and fail?
And the biggest question…
Did we ruin her?
No scripts. No perfect answers. Just a real conversation between a mom and the daughter who lived through it.
