The latest episode of The Everyday Millionaire Podcast is now online!
“Why the conversation about mindset and why is it important? It’s not just about success, it’s not about getting shit done, it’s not about being uber successful in business or in life. It’s really how we approach business, how we approach life. It’s actually all about us and how we view the world.”

Mindset Matters: The FAQs of Our Relationship: How We Handle Conflict and Growth
In this episode of Mindset Matters, hosts Patrick and Steffany dive into some of the most frequently asked questions from their listeners, revealing how they handle challenges in both their personal and professional lives.
One popular question centers around conflict: “What do you do when you disagree or feel triggered by each other?” Patrick and Steffany share that while they naturally have disagreements, especially given their different approaches to preparation, they make a point to keep their discussions constructive. Patrick’s detail-oriented style contrasts with Steffany’s more spontaneous approach, leading to occasional friction. However, they’ve set boundaries to avoid hurtful or personal comments, focusing instead on the issue at hand and staying respectful. For them, this commitment keeps the relationship healthy and ensures disagreements don’t turn into personal conflicts.
Another common question is about handling setbacks. Patrick and Steffany openly share their approach: they don’t dwell on blame, instead focusing on how they can take responsibility for their reactions. They see setbacks as learning opportunities and practice resilience by shifting their perspectives to see challenges as growth experiences.
Listeners are also curious about jealousy, especially around Steffany’s high-energy work and travels. Patrick admits he sometimes wishes he could join her, but he feels proud and supportive of her achievements. This mutual respect helps them balance individual ambitions with their partnership.
Lastly, they address the challenge of differing beliefs within relationships, reflecting on how they navigated opposing views during the pandemic. They advise couples to communicate openly and seek alignment, even if that means involving a neutral third party to help guide the conversation.
Through candid answers and self-reflection, Patrick and Steffany provide insights on creating a resilient, loving relationship that thrives despite challenges.
