Episode 39 - When Your Spouse Isn't Called to Work in Your Nonprofit with Emily Needham
Description
In this heartfelt episode, coaches Tim Needham and Mary Valloni sit down with Emily Needham to discuss a challenge many nonprofit leaders face: what to do when your spouse doesn’t share your nonprofit calling.
Emily shares her journey of supporting Tim’s mission at Restoration House STL, balancing her own passions, and embracing her role outside the nonprofit. Together, they unpack the dynamics of spousal support and offer practical advice for navigating this often-complex aspect of nonprofit leadership.
We'll discuss:
- Finding ways to support each other while pursuing separate purposes
- Lessons learned from balancing family, work, and mission
- Being a safe space for your spouse during nonprofit highs and lows
- Communication strategies to align on shared goals and expectations
