Hey guys! Welcome back to another episode of The Female Empowered Podcast. This is a VERY special episode because I have a VERY special guest with me – my husband, Scott Gurka.

I wanted to share this episode with everyone because we will be talking about how we navigate our life, marriage, family situation, personal lives, and our careers.

I am an entrepreneur and my husband travels a lot for work. When I started the first business, Pilates In The Beach, there were challenges in our lives especially because our kids were so young. We were able to manage the changes pretty well, but Scott will share with you what worried him during those times.

We’ll also share with you how we share the responsibilities in our home and how we make sure that we spend time with each other so we don’t lose our connection. Further, Scott has some advice for those who have a husband or a wife who is a business owner.

Listen to this episode so you get a look on how we handle our lives while growing our business and career!
