Many of you are interested in hearing more about how it is to be married to me as a freelance translator and entrepreneur, or to hear from my spouse. In an effort to show you more behind the scenes of my business, I have taken this to heart and will start off a series of episodes from behind the scenes with interviewing my husband of almost 20 years.

Important things covered in this episode:

• Dealing with my crazy work schedule
• The most frustrating thing being married to a freelance translator
• The benefits of being married to a freelance translator
• How it is to have a spouse working from home
• Work-related tensions
• Recommendations to spouses being married to freelance translators

Thank you for all your great questions and thank you to Kevin for his willingness to come on to the show and answer them. While it may seem crazy to marry a freelancer when you consider the chaos that he or she will bring into a relationship, there are many benefits as well. How many jobs can be done at home in an office, from a pop up camper room in the mountains or even poolside in sunny Florida? A freelancer has the freedom to work from nearly anywhere making long trips more of a possibility. In addition, since quite a bit of freelance writing work can be done at home, it can allow for a savings in childcare costs among other things.

I would love to hear how other couples do it? Please share your experiences in the comments below. If you enjoyed this episode, please take a moment to share it or leave a review by clicking on the Podcast apps to the right. It means the world to me!
