Improving the Balance Between Your Business and Your Relationship

Jessica Holton, co-founder and CEO of Ours, took a proactive approach to her relationship by suggesting couples therapy with her partner of five years. Despite their strong bond, she wanted to deepen their connection and avoid common pitfalls in relationships.

However, the process of finding the right therapist was challenging, with scheduling conflicts and the stigma surrounding couples therapy. This experience led Holton to create Ours, a relationship wellness company that matches couples with hand-vetted therapists to make the process more accessible and efficient.

Ours also provides couples with exercises to strengthen their relationship between sessions, promoting proactive relationship health. Holton believes that investing in a healthy relationship not only benefits the couple but also extends to other aspects of their lives and relationships with others.

The flexibility of Ours’ offerings allows couples to work intensively on their goals, whether proactive or reactive, and then transition to maintenance mode as needed. Holton sees helping people build better relationships as a sacred responsibility and hopes to make a positive impact by facilitating relationship growth.

Overall, Ours aims to shift the narrative around couples therapy from a last resort to a proactive approach to relationship health. By normalizing the idea of investing in relationships, Holton believes that couples can enjoy stronger, healthier connections and ultimately make the world a better place.
