The Secret to Thriving Relationships for Ambitious Female CEOs with Matthew Riven

A Podcast with She Is A Leader and Yvi Heimann

In this conversation with Yvi, we explored the real challenges ambitious women face when trying to balance professional excellence with meaningful, sustainable relationships. We discussed how evolving gender roles, unspoken expectations, and early-formed communication patterns create friction in even the strongest partnerships.

Drawing from my work in Transactional Analysis, somatic therapy, and the structured communication frameworks I use in my Dom practice, I offered tools for intentional dialogue, emotional boundary management, and creating safe spaces for connection. We spoke about how practices like safe words and somatic grounding can translate into everyday relationships to support clearer communication, reduce reactivity, and foster mutual support.

This episode is a thoughtful and practical guide for high-achieving women who want to strengthen their relationships without sacrificing their ambitions.
