Send us a text🎙️ UNCHARTED – EPISODE 10 “Value, Ego & Covert Contracts: The Unspoken Deals That Define Us”What if the biggest business lesson you ever learn doesn’t come from a boardroom, but from a breakup?This episode is not just about value in the financial sense—it’s about the emotional currency we trade in relationships, especially when love and business collide. I’m pulling back the curtain on the kind of value clash that no contract can prepare you for: perceived worth vs. actual delivery, ego vs. execution, and the covert contracts we never signed—but lived by anyway.I built businesses with people I loved. I’ve stood in boardrooms with broken hearts, funded visions with emotional debt, and stayed too long hoping support would be repaid in loyalty. It wasn’t. And the truth is—many of us are doing the same thing without realising it.In this raw and deeply personal episode, I unpack:The myth of being irreplaceable in business and loveThe difference between perceived value and contracted value—and how ignoring it can sink your businessThe role of covert contracts in keeping you stuck, drained, and resentfulWhy many women (me included) equate giving more with being chosenThe Scarface model of control: money first, love later—and how that plays out in real lifeHow trauma, boundaries, and business decisions are more entwined than we want to admitYou’ll hear the real stories—building an empire with an ex, watching it unravel, and having to grieve not just a relationship, but a legacy. You’ll hear what happens when we try to be the structure, the softness, the investor, and the emotional anchor all at once.And more than anything, you’ll hear how to finally reclaim your definition of value.Because value is not how much you can give, absorb, or justify. It’s not how many invoices you pay to avoid conflict. It’s not in how much history you honour while ignoring what’s happening now.Value is clarity. Value is presence. Value is knowing your worth—and refusing to negotiate with someone else’s ego.This episode is a wake-up call for anyone building a business, navigating love, or trying to do both in a world that confuses emotional labour with commitment.💥 If you’ve ever felt used, unseen, undervalued, or unsure whether it’s your trauma or your truth calling the shots—this one’s for you.🎧 Listen in, reflect deeply, and if this hit home?
