Welcome back to Superheroes in Heels—the go-to podcast for ambitious women ready to shatter glass ceilings, build thriving businesses, and lead with purpose. I’m Kimberley Borgens, your host, passionate business strategist, and unwavering champion for women forging their own paths in entrepreneurship. With over 30 years of experience building success in male-dominated industries, I know firsthand that being an entrepreneur isn’t just about smart strategy and hard work—it’s also about the support you get (or sometimes don’t get) from those who matter most.

Have you ever felt alone while building your dream, wishing your spouse, partner, best friend, or even your family truly understood and believed in your vision? In this episode, we’re tackling one of the most requested and relatable topics in the world of women’s entrepreneurship: how to navigate the complexities of support from the people closest to you. I’ll be sharing real stories from my own journey and from the incredible women I’ve coached, revealing the powerful impact a supportive partner can have—and what to do when you feel like you’re not getting the emotional, logistical, or financial backing you crave.

We’ll explore why even loving, well-intentioned spouses or friends sometimes fall short in supporting our professional goals and how communication breakdowns, unspoken expectations, or old habits can derail your progress. You’ll learn proven strategies to communicate your needs clearly, set realistic boundaries, manage household responsibilities, and invite your loved ones to be genuine allies in your business journey—even if that means redefining the roles everyone plays.

Not only will we unpack the mindsets and actions that empower women to earn respect and support for their businesses, but we’ll also talk about managing your emotional energy, preventing burnout, and ensuring that your relationships thrive alongside your entrepreneurial ambitions. Packed with practical communication tips, mindset shifts, and actionable insights for balancing business growth and family life, this episode will help you unlock the full potential of your support network—so you can reach your business goals with confidence, resilience, and grace.

If you’re searching for guidance on how to get your spouse to believe in your business, wanting to transform doubt into encouragement, or simply looking for a supportive community of like-minded women, you’re in the right place.
