Hi! I am Christa: a board certified physical therapist, certified Pilates Instructor and CEO of Pilates in the Grove. I founded my company in 2009 (in the middle of a recession) and grew from a 300 square foot studio space to a multi location and multi million dollar healthcare and boutique fitness company. I did this without an MBA or investor capital; while raising my two amazing boys. I had the passion for learning and the help of the google search bar and of course YOU TUBE. Now I want to pay it forward by posting some of my favorite videos and tutorials to help other female business owners in boutique fitness and wellness grow to and through 6 figures in revenue and into 6 figures in profit. I am on a mission to transform the health & fitness industry one female business owner at a time. Follow me to learn how to take action and get shit done!
Female Empowered | Episode 265: Let's Talk About MONEY!
Welcome back to another episode of the Female EmPOWERED Podcast! I’m your host, Christa Gurka, and today we’re diving into a topic I’ve often shied away from-money. In this episode, I’m getting honest about my own financial journey, from the discomfort of out-earning family members to embracing the responsibility and freedom that come with financial success. We’ll explore the historical, generational, and personal influences that shape how we talk, think, and feel about money-and why we need to change the narrative.
Key Takeaways:
Normalizing Money Conversations: It’s time to make talking about money, wealth, and financial success commonplace-especially for women.
Recognize Your Worth: Stand firm in your pricing and acknowledge the value you provide. Your expertise and impact deserve fair compensation.
Shift Your Mindset by Surrounding Yourself with Success: Seek out role models and peers who openly discuss money. This can help you break down limiting beliefs and embrace financial growth.
Use Your Resources Wisely: Financial success isn’t just about personal gain. It can amplify your influence, help you prepare for the future, and support causes you care about.

Hello, I visited your UA-cam channel(Christa Gurka | Business Mentor | Health & Fitness). Your videos are amazing. But I found some problems: Your channel optimization is very poor and no SEO score. There are many other problems due to which views, and subscribers are increasing very less. And the video is not going viral. I am a Digital Marketer and UA-cam SEO Specialist. I can solve your problems if you want. I'm waiting for your response. Thank you. Masum❤❤💥
Might have just been me, but I wasn't able to see the spreadsheets they were speaking of
@UnionStudio Yoga you are correct... we are replacing with the correct video shortly
Very Very Nice Dear
