Balancing Chaos Kelley & Gretchen

Hey, look who's back in your ears!
This week, we interview Paige Wilcox, of Wilcox Wellness & Fitness about how she ended up owning a gym (it was never in her plans!) to how she and her husband grew the business to the point that they left work behind (physically) to spend a month in Costa Rica with their young family.
