Today's show picks up from where we left off in episode two where I share my health and healing journey before meeting Walker. We were both entrepreneurs going through the ups and downs of having our own business separately before we even met. Something we immediately had in common was we loved being our own boss! Plus, we both really liked each other when we met :)
So we tell you how we met right through to how we work together and share everything in life because we are married and have a vibrant and adorable little girl named Vienna.
Walker often jokes that by choosing to work together full-time he just combined both his bosses – his boss on the homefront (me) and his boss in the office (me). Truth is, we both wear the pants and yes it is possible to work together and still really like each other. Obviously, we love each other but truly liking someone is also important. (Have you ever loved someone you didn't like?) Okay, here's episode 3!
