“I think that was honestly me screaming for help and saying ‘I need you,’ shares Ahmed Mahgoub, ex-husband of host Chelsea Stevenson. In this episode of Hennapreneur, Ahmed and Chelsea continue the discussion on how the growth of Hennapreneur impacted their marriage.

Differences in perspective can make all the difference in a relationship. Chelsea put all of her time and effort into growing her business with the thought that this would benefit her family. Meanwhile, Ahmed felt their marriage was being neglected by Chelsea putting so many hours into the business. As the gap between their visions for the future was growing, the couple had a traumatic experience within their family that widened the gap even further. 

Tune into this week’s episode of Hennapreneur for a continuation of the conversation with host Chelsea Stevenson and special guest Ahmed Mahgoub. They share how gaps in communication and differing perspectives on growing the business ultimately led to the end of their marriage.
