Showing Up Like the Leader Your Business Needs with Staci Millard (Part 2)

Tue, 08 Sep 2026 05:00:00 -0400

In part two of my chat with Staci Millard, host of The Small Business School Podcast, we dive into visibility, leadership, personal growth and what it really takes to show up well in business. We talk about how your season of business can shape the way you approach social media, growth and where your energy is best spent. We also get into the behind-the-scenes of building something new, managing imposter syndrome and becoming a stronger leader, while creating habits that help us show up as the best version of ourselves. Catch part 1 if you missed it here!

Tune in to hear more about:

• Why visibility matters, but should still align with the season your business is in.
• How Staci is navigating the uncomfortable process of building software and learning to hold belief in a bigger vision.
• Why leadership starts with how you regulate yourself, communicate and show up for your team.
• The self-development practices we both prioritize, from sleep and nervous system regulation to movement and mindset.
• Why creating energy, confidence and consistency can have such a powerful ripple effect in business and life.

Growth asks us to become a different version of ourselves along the way. Whether that means stepping into stronger leadership, sharing more of the journey, protecting our energy or simply believing in ourselves before everyone else can see the vision, the work starts with us. I’d love to hear what stood out most to you from this convo! Send me a DM on Instagram @AlliArruda and let me know!

Are You Making the Most of the Rooms You Invest In? with Staci Millard (Part 1)

Tue, 01 Sep 2026 05:00:00 -0400

In collaboration with The Small Business School Podcast, I’m joined by my friend, podcast host, fellow entrepreneur and business owner Staci Millard for a deep dive into business growth, meaningful relationships and what it really means to invest in the right rooms. We talk about how some of the most valuable opportunities in entrepreneurship come from connection, collaboration and being willing to show up ready to learn.

We also get into the realities of making bold business decisions, listening to your intuition, evolving your brand and knowing when to stay focused on what you do best.

Tune in to hear more about:
• Why the relationships you build in the room can become more valuable than the event itself.
• How to think about ROI when investing in masterminds, events and business communities.
• Why taking action after receiving advice is your responsibility as an entrepreneur.
• How we’ve learned to hold the vision through pricing changes, pivots and uncomfortable business decisions.
• Why listening to your customers, reviewing the right data and focusing on what you do best can help you build a stronger brand.

Not every opportunity has to produce an immediate sale to be valuable. Sometimes the real return is a relationship, a new perspective, an introduction or the confidence to make a move you’ve been avoiding. This is only part one of our chat and there is so much more to come! I’d love to hear what stood out to you! Shoot me a DM on @AlliArruda

Stop Living A Story Someone Else Handed You: Powerhouse Women 2026 Takeaways

Thu, 27 Aug 2026 05:00:00 -0400

Fresh off my third year attending Lindsay Marie’s Powerhouse Women event in Arizona, I’m sharing some of the biggest personal growth, entrepreneurship and mindset takeaways I brought home with me! This episode is all about getting uncomfortable, showing up more authentically, building the right relationships and giving yourself permission to keep evolving.

There were so many powerful reminders throughout the weekend, especially around growth and creating a life and business that actually feel aligned.

Tune in to hear more about:
• Why comfort can quietly become a trap and how getting uncomfortable can help you grow.
• What it means to rewrite your story instead of continuing to live inside an old version of yourself.
• Why authenticity helps the right people, community and opportunities find you.
• How challenging seasons, grief and change can become powerful catalysts for personal growth.
• Why accountability, mentorship with people who support and celebrate you can make such a difference.

One of my biggest reminders from this weekend was that we do not have to build, grow or navigate change alone. We can be grateful for where we’ve been, release what no longer fits and keep choosing the people, experiences and opportunities that support where we’re going next.

If this inspires you to take one uncomfortable action, show up a little more fully as yourself and keep moving toward the life you truly want, I’d love to here from you! My IG inbox is always open @AlliArruda.

What Does “Having It All” Look Like in Your 40s?

Mon, 24 Aug 2026 05:00:00 -0400

In this episode of Inspire + Move, Matt and sharing about how our definition of success has shifted in our 40s. What once felt important in our 20s and 30s, from status symbols to constantly pushing harder, has evolved into something that feels a lot more grounded, intentional and aligned.

We’re talking about the idea of building a different kind of wealth portfolio, one that includes your health, relationships, time, community, financial future and the people you choose to surround yourself with.

Tune in to hear more about:
• How our definition of success has changed as we’ve gotten older.
• Why quality, health, time and experiences have become more valuable than simply having more.
• The importance of being intentional about where you invest your money, energy and attention.
• How your environment and the people around you can either elevate or drain you.
• Why prioritizing your physical health, mental well-being and long-term financial stability can completely shift how you experience success.

We also get into the idea of auditing your own “wealth” portfolio, spelled W-E-L-L-T-H, and asking whether the way you are spending your time, energy and money actually supports the life you say you want. Success can look different in every season, but for us, it now feels a lot more like feeling strong, having meaningful relationships, creating experiences we love and building a life that supports us long term.

If you enjoyed this episode, it would mean SO much to me if you could leave a 5-star rating or review on your favourite listening platform! Don’t be afraid to shoot me a DM if you did too @AlliArruda on Instagram! You can find Matt’s IG here @Matt_Arruda!

Could Doing Less Actually Improve Your Health? Recovery, Sleep + Longevity with Dr. Arshad Hack (Part 2)

Thu, 20 Aug 2026 05:00:00 -0400

I’m back with Dr. Arshad Hack of LiifeHack Longevity for part two of our conversation all about taking a more intentional approach to our health, performance and longevity. In this episode, we go even deeper into the habits, testing and everyday choices that can help us feel stronger, recover better and support the way we want to age.

We talk about everything from VO2 max and zone two cardio to burnout, nervous system regulation, sleep and the routines Dr. Hack personally uses to stay on top of his own health. I also loved hearing more about how data can create positive feedback loops and help us actually see the impact of the work we’re putting in.

Tune in to learn more on:
• Why VO2 max is such an important marker for longevity and how zone two cardio can support cardiovascular health, endurance and visceral fat levels.
• How testing and retesting things like VO2 max, strength, balance and range of motion can help us measure progress over time.
• Why burnout is so common and the simple practices Dr. Hack recommends for calming the nervous system and creating more balance.
• The importance of sleep and why prioritizing recovery can completely change your energy, mood, performance and overall health.
• Dr. Hack’s own daily habits around nutrition, hydration, fasting, movement and the health data he personally pays attention to.

One of my biggest takeaways from this conversation is that longevity is not about doing everything perfectly. It’s about creating habits that actually work for your life, paying attention to how your body responds, and being willing to adjust when something is no longer serving you. This is your reminder that sometimes more is not better, whether it’s training, work, or the pressure we put on ourselves, recovery and balance matter just as much.

So grateful to Dr. Hack for joining me for this chat and sharing so much knowledge with all of us. If this episode resonated, send it to someone who would love this conversation too!

What Does It Really Mean to Age With Agency? with Dr. Arshad Hack (Part 1)

Mon, 17 Aug 2026 05:00:00 -0400

I’m so excited to bring this conversation to Inspire + Move! In part one of this two-part conversation., I’m joined by Dr. Arshad of LiifeHack Longevity to talk about what it can look like to take a more proactive, personalized approach to our health. After Matt and I went through the LiifeHack experience ourselves, I knew I wanted to dive deeper into the data, testing and insights that can help us better understand what is happening inside our bodies.

We talk about the difference between simply living longer and actually extending the number of years we feel strong, capable and healthy. From preventative testing and biomarkers to body composition, recovery and knowing when more isn’t always better, this conversation is such an interesting look at what it means to truly “age with agency.”

Tune in to hear more about:

• Creating LiifeHack Longevity and the gaps between traditional reactive healthcare and a more preventative approach.
• The difference between lifespan and health span, and what it means to “age with agency.”
• Valuable health markers and testing that can help give us a more complete picture of what is happening in our bodies.
• Why body composition, including muscle mass, bone density and visceral fat, can tell us so much more than simply focusing on the number on the scale.
• The importance of recovery for high achievers, and why constantly doing more with our training isn’t always the answer.

One of my biggest takeaways from this conversation is that knowledge gives us the opportunity to make more intentional choices. It’s about understanding our own bodies, creating strong foundations and making small, meaningful changes that support how we want to feel now and for years to come.

This is only part one of my conversation with Dr. Arshad, so stay tuned for part two as we continue diving into longevity, health optimization and what it can look like to take greater ownership of our health!

In the Pursuit of Something More & Trusting Your Next Move with Lindsey Marie

Thu, 13 Aug 2026 05:00:00 -0400

In honour of Lindsey Marie’s 10th year throwing the exceptional event that is Powerhouse Women, I thought I would do a replay of the episode back in 2024 where I had her on the podcast! Please enjoy!

Lindsey Marie is an entrepreneur, author, top podcast host and founder of Powerhouse Women! As Lindsey moved through her own entrepreneurial journey and searched for something more, she saw the need for more honest conversations about the highs and lows of business and creating big dreams. From there, the Powerhouse Women community, annual event and podcast were born, all rooted in the belief that we’re not meant to do business or life alone.

In this conversation, Lindsey and I dive into how Powerhouse Women came to be, what it really takes to build a meaningful community and the personal growth required as your business continues to evolve. We also talk about vulnerability, learning to ask for support, creating more space in your life and trusting yourself when it’s time to say yes, say no or let go of control.

Tune in to hear more about:

• Lindsey’s entrepreneurial journey, the lessons she carried forward from health, fitness and network marketing. Plus, how Powerhouse Women began.
• Building and cultivating a strong community through connection, vulnerability, support and allowing yourself to truly be seen.
• The intentional evolution behind live events and creating spaces where entrepreneurs can find deeper relationships, accountability and next-level support.
• Slowing down, creating stillness and trusting your intuition when you have too much on your plate.
• Learning how to give your best full YES, say no when something isn’t aligned.

There are so many incredible reminders in this conversation about what can happen when we stop trying to do everything alone. Growth often requires us to be vulnerable enough to ask for help, intentional enough to protect our time and open enough to let the right people support us along the way. Send this episode to your favourite business bestie who needs a little reminder that we really are better together.

Does Your Business Need a New Strategy, or Just a New Room?

Mon, 10 Aug 2026 05:00:00 -0400

In this episode, I’m coming to you fresh off an incredible few days in Toronto filled with connection, celebration, big ideas and some very special firsts! After celebrating my friends Kristina and Maria of High Vibe Women, experiencing my first ever billboard moment and spending the day at their Yacht Day Mastermind, I was reminded just how powerful it can be to intentionally change your environment and get yourself in the right rooms.

Sometimes stepping outside of your normal routine is exactly what you need to create space for fresh ideas, new energy and meaningful connections. Whether it’s attending an event, joining a mastermind, investing in mentorship or simply working somewhere different for the day, giving yourself room to expand can create so much magic.

Tune in as we explore:
• Why changing your environment can spark new ideas, creativity and clarity.
• The power of surrounding yourself with people who support and encourage your biggest goals.
• Why investing in coaching, mentorship, masterminds and live experiences can accelerate your growth.
• The unique energy and opportunities that come from connecting with people in person.
• How to be intentional about the rooms you enter and the value you take away from them.

Remember, the investment doesn’t always have to be huge. What matters is how intentionally you show up, the energy you bring and what you do with the relationships, ideas and opportunities that come from the experience. Take a look at your calendar and ask yourself where you can create more space for your own expansion. I’d love to know what you find, shoot me a DM @AlliArruda so we can connect!

If I Wanted to Become Known in My Industry, I'd Do These 3 Things First

Thu, 30 Jul 2026 05:00:00 -0400

In this episode, I'm sharing three simple but powerful strategies that have helped me build meaningful relationships, create opportunities and become known in my industry. While it's easy to think that more content or a bigger following is the answer, I've learned that the biggest breakthroughs often happen through genuine connection, collaboration, and showing up in the right rooms.

If you're building a business, growing your personal brand, or looking to expand your network, these are the habits I believe make the biggest difference over the long term!

Tune in as we explore:
• Why getting in the room creates opportunities that social media alone can't.
• How collaboration will always outperform competition.
• The power of becoming the person who connects others.
• Why your reputation matters more than your follower count.
• Practical ways to build trust, grow your network, and become known in your industry.

Remember, becoming known isn't about chasing attention. It's about creating genuine relationships, adding value, and consistently showing up for the people around you. Those small actions compound into opportunities you could never plan for.

I'd love to hear which of these three strategies you're going to put into action first! Send me a DM on Instagram @AlliArruda and let me know. I can't wait to cheer you on.

Long time listener? I would LOVE it if you could leave me a 5-star podcast review! Don’t be shy!

Energy Is Contagious — And So Is the Opposite

Tue, 28 Jul 2026 05:00:00 -0400

Back this week with a fresh solo episode, I'm diving into one of the questions I get asked most often: "How do you have so much energy?" While I'm grateful to be known for bringing positive energy into every room I walk into, this conversation goes much deeper than that.

As a business owner and coach, I've realized that my energy isn't just something I experience personally. It influences my team, my clients, my community and the people around me. Whether I'm stepping onto the gym floor at Benchmark Fitness, leading a mastermind call, or coaching one-on-one, I've learned that the energy I bring has the power to shape the experience for everyone else. The good news? Energy isn't something we're born with. It's something we can intentionally create.

In this episode, we explore:

Why energy is contagious, and how your mindset and presence influence your team, clients, relationships and business.
The difference between being a thermostat versus a thermometer, and why great leaders set the emotional tone instead of reacting to it.
Simple ways to regulate your nervous system and generate energy before important moments.
The daily habits that help me show up as the best version of myself, from movement and sleep to creating intentional routines before serving others.
Why your personal energy is one of the most valuable parts of your brand, and how showing up consistently can create lasting impact far beyond the work itself.

One of my biggest reminders while recording this episode was that leadership isn't about feeling energized all the time. It's about taking responsibility for how you show up, even on the days when it feels harder. When we become intentional with our energy, we don't just change our own experience. We elevate the people around us.

I'd love to hear what resonated most with you! Send me a DM on Instagram @AlliArruda and let me know how you're creating more intentional energy in your business and everyday life.

What If Healing Your Nervous System Was Simpler Than You Think? with Dr. Michelle Peris (Part 2)

Thu, 23 Jul 2026 05:00:00 -0400

Back for part two of my second collab this month with Dr. Michelle Peris, the host of the Wild Medicine podcast, to continue our conversation all about burnout recovery, nervous system resilience, and what it really looks like to create a life that feels sustainable.

After hearing Dr. Michelle's personal burnout story in part one, we shift the conversation toward the practical side of healing. We explore how to recognize your own stress signals, why recovery looks different for everyone, and the small daily habits that can help you feel more present, resilient, and connected to your life. One of my biggest takeaways was realizing that recovery doesn't have to mean a complete lifestyle overhaul. Sometimes the biggest changes start with the smallest moments.

Tune in for more as we explore:
• How to identify your personal signs that your nervous system is under too much stress before burnout.
• Why nervous system resilience isn't about staying calm all the time, but learning how to recover more quickly from life's inevitable stressors.
• Simple recovery practices that can help restore balance without adding more to your to-do list.
• Why creating "white space" in your day can spark more creativity, innovation, and joy than constantly staying busy.
• How building small moments of presence into your everyday routine can have a profound impact on your health, relationships and overall well-being.

One of the things I loved most about this conversation was Dr. Michelle's reminder that healing isn't about being perfect. It's about becoming more intentional, giving yourself grace along the way, and finding recovery in the small moments that make up your day.

I'd love to hear what resonated most with you! Send me a DM on Instagram @AlliArruda, and be sure to connect with @DrMichellePeris to learn more about her work and the Wild Collective.

My Biggest Health Wake-Up Call Wasn't What I Expected with Dr. Michelle Peris (Part 1)

Mon, 20 Jul 2026 05:00:00 -0400

Delighted to have Dr. Michelle Peris, host of the Wild Medicine podcast, naturopathic doctor, speaker and women’s empowerment advocate, back for another 2-part conversation! In this episode, we dive into the topic of recovery, something that so many high achievers, entrepreneurs and ambitious women quietly struggle with.

After recently completing a comprehensive executive health assessment, one thing that became crystal clear to me was working on my recovery and rest! That realization led Dr. Michelle and I into an honest conversation about burnout, nervous system resilience, and why taking care of ourselves isn't something we earn after working hard. It's an essential part of performing and feeling our best.

In this episode, we explore:
• Why recovery isn't the opposite of productivity, it's what allows you to sustain it.
• The role nervous system resilience plays in stress, performance and overall health.
• Dr. Michelle's personal burnout journey and the difficult decisions that ultimately changed her life.
• Common signs of burnout that are often overlooked, especially by high performers.
• How breathwork, presence and simple daily practices can help you respond to stress instead of constantly reacting to it.

One of my biggest takeaways from this conversation was the reminder that we don't earn rest after we've exhausted ourselves. Recovery is part of the process, not a reward at the end of it.I'd love to know what resonated most with you! Send me a DM on Instagram @AlliArruda, and be sure to connect with @DrMichellePeris to learn more about her work, breathwork, and the Wild Collective!

The Strategy Nobody Talks About (But Should)

Thu, 16 Jul 2026 05:00:00 -0400

This week on Inspire + Move, I break down one of the most overlooked strategies for business growth: connecting with your audience directly. From Instagram DMs to voice notes and personal video messages, I share how to shift from passive content creation to active, authentic outreach that builds trust and opens doors to real opportunities.

We talk about the art of showing up in your DMs without feeling pushy, how to craft warm, human connection in under 90 seconds, and why consistency is the ultimate game-changer when it comes to turning engagement into clients, sales, or collaborations. Grab a pen and paper to snag the practical steps and mindset shifts that will help you leverage the people who are already in your orbit!

Tune in to hear more about:
• Why personalized voice notes and short video messages are more powerful than texts for building trust and connection
• How to identify your warm audience and take meaningful action with them today
• The exact steps to structure your message for authenticity, warmth, and impact
• Why consistency, sending multiple DMs each day, is the key to momentum and growth
• How to move past the fear of being “pushy” and embrace reaching out as an act of service

If you’ve ever wondered how to turn engagement into real business opportunities, how to connect on a deeper level with your community, or how to consistently show up without burning out, this will give you the tools and confidence to take action now. Don’t just create content, create connection, and watch it pay off! Tag me on Instagram @AlliArruda with your DM wins, I want to cheer you on!

How to Handle Business Challenges Without Losing Yourself with Dr. Michelle Peris (Part 2)

Thu, 09 Jul 2026 05:00:00 -0400

I’m back with Dr. Michelle Peris for part 2 of our conversation, and we’re getting real about the parts of entrepreneurship that people don’t always talk about. (If you missed part 1, tune in here!) From navigating unexpected challenges, changing relationships and growing teams, to learning how to make decisions when there is no clear roadmap, this conversation is such an honest look at what it takes to keep showing up as a leader. Dr. Michelle and I talk about the lessons that come from the harder moments in business, why you need the right people around you, and how to process disappointment without letting it change who you are. It is so important to take the time to feel, reflect and then move forward with more wisdom and clarity.

Tune in to hear more about:
• Why entrepreneurship is a constant lesson in resilience, decision making and personal growth
• How to navigate challenging business moments without letting them harden your heart or change your values
• The importance of processing emotions, learning the lesson, and using experiences as wisdom for the future
• Why having trusted people around you is essential when you’re carrying the weight of leadership
• How becoming a stronger entrepreneur means getting better at making decisions, trusting yourself, and knowing what deserves your energy

Entrepreneurship will challenge you, stretch you, and bring moments you never could have planned for. But those experiences also become the ones that shape your leadership, strengthen your intuition, and help you become the person you need to be for the next chapter.

I hope this reminds you that you don’t have to navigate the highs and lows alone. Share this episode with your fellow biz bestie, and tag us on IG @AlliArruda & @DrMichellePeris to let us know what resonated most!

Own Your Value, Thrive & Overcome Imposter Syndrome as an Entrepreneur with Kristina Bartold

Thu, 02 Jul 2026 05:00:00 -0400

Buckle up for this fun collab episode with the Community podcast hosted by Kristina Bartold, co-founder of The Social Snippet and High Vibe Women, along with Matt and myself! Join us as we chat about imposter syndrome and stepping into rooms that feel way out of your comfort zone.

The Permission You’ve Been Waiting For Does Not Exist

Thu, 25 Jun 2026 05:00:00 -0400

In this episode of Inspire + Move, I’m back with my favourite cohost Matt, as we get into what it really means to stop waiting for permission and start taking action on the things you already know you need to do. This conversation explores how growth often sits on the other side of discomfort, and why the decision to move before you feel fully ready can completely shift your momentum in business, leadership, and life. If you need that motivation today, this is IT!!!

We share real-life examples from building Benchmark Fitness, launching this podcast, and stepping into new rooms like masterminds and events, where we had to act before we had all the answers. From problem-solving under pressure to navigating uncertainty in real time, this is all about learning through action and trusting yourself in the process.

Tune in to hear more about:
• Why waiting for permission often delays the opportunities you’re already ready for
• How taking immediate action can turn challenges into better outcomes than originally planned
• The role of visibility and responsibility in stepping into bigger rooms and opportunities
• Why decision-making speed is a critical skill in entrepreneurship and leadership
• How consistent action builds resilience, confidence, and long-term trust in yourself

This is your bold reminder that nobody is coming to give you permission. The life you want is built through action, not hesitation. Start with one step, move through the discomfort, and trust that clarity comes after movement, not before it.

Need someone standing beside you, giving you guidance and cheering you on to make that first move? Send me a DM on IG at @alliarruda or check out my website to experience my 1:1 coaching! Time to level up!!

Whether it’s the gym you train at, the coffee shop you work from, or the rooms you put yourself in, every environment is either expanding you or keeping you comfortable.

Tune in to hear more about:

• How to audit your current routines, spaces, and relationships to align with your next level self

If you’ve been craving growth, expansion, or a new level in your life or business, let this be your reminder that sometimes the biggest shift starts with changing the room you’re in. Time to stop playing small, audit your environment, and start surrounding yourself with the energy that matches where you want to go!

In this episode of Inspire + Move, Matt is back on the mic with me and we’re diving into a powerful mindset shift that will change the way you approach growth, and that’s how your identity is built through action. We’re breaking down why confidence isn’t something you wait for, it’s something you create through consistent reps.

Stepping Into Your Next Level: Trusting The Timing When People Leave

Mon, 06 Apr 2026 05:00:00 -0400

In today’s episode, I’m opening up an honest and vulnerable conversation around growth, identity, and the reality of outgrowing people as you evolve. Fresh off a powerful call inside my Visibility Accelerator program, I’m sharing a perspective that truly stopped me in my tracks: trusting the timing of people leaving your life. We dive into what that actually means, how it can feel, and why it might be one of the most necessary parts of stepping into your next level.

Tune in to hear more about:
• What it really means to trust the timing of people leaving your life and how to reframe it
• Why growth naturally creates separation and how to navigate the emotions that come with it
• How your identity, standards, and energy evolve as you step into your next level
• The uncomfortable truth about not being able to take everyone with you as you rise
• How creating space allows more aligned, supportive, and expansive relationships to enter

Growth isn’t always easy, and sometimes it comes with letting go of people, patterns, and even past versions of yourself. But on the other side of that space is alignment, expansion, and deeper connection with the right people. I hope this episode reminds you that you’re not alone in this and that everything is unfolding exactly as it should. I would love to know if this episode resonated with you or sparked something within you. Send me a DM over on Instagram @AlliArruda and let’s chat about it!

In this episode, Matt is back on the mic with me and we are diving into what it really means to assume the role before you feel ready.

We unpack the difference between pretending and preparing, and how stepping into the habits of your future self can accelerate your evolution in business, leadership, and life.

• Why serving first and providing value early creates long term opportunity

Stop Waiting to be Invited: Why Visibility Changes Everything

Thu, 29 Jan 2026 05:00:00 -0500

In this episode of Inspire + Move, I’m diving into one of the most important themes I’m believing more for in 2026: visibility. Whether you're a business owner, a coach, a creative, or someone with a message to share, this is your wake-up call to stop waiting for the invitation and start choosing to be seen. I get honest about why visibility is not ego, why your voice matters more than ever, and how taking up space is a necessary part of growth.

Tune in to hear more about:
• Why visibility isn’t arrogance, and how to reframe being seen as a responsibility
• The myth of “being behind” and how to get started now, even if you feel late
• How proximity and visibility go hand in hand in creating real opportunity
• The connection between showing up consistently and building trust
• Why your dream life won’t grow in hiding and the simple mindset shift to change that

You don’t need permission to take up space. Start messy, start scared, start imperfect, just start! Let's make this the year of you being seen. Spots are now open for my NEW 6-Week Visibility Accelerator, a powerful program designed to help entrepreneurs become magnetic, confident, and known. Limited spaces available, check the links below for access!

When Growth Changes The Rules

Mon, 26 Jan 2026 05:00:00 -0500

On this episode of Inspire + Move, Matt joins me for an episode all about what happens “after” you’ve grown. We talk about how the habits, environments, and even advice that once worked, might not be what takes you to your next level. This realization can feel both freeing and uncomfortable! Matt and I dive into the mindset shifts, daily audits, and intentional decisions that come with evolving into a new season.

Tune in to hear more about:
• Why what got you here won't get you there, in business, health, and life
• How to recognize when a habit, strategy, or belief needs to be retired
• The power of surrounding yourself with people who’ve already done what you’re working toward
• The difference between real burnout and just doing something new for the first time
• Letting go of outdated rules (even if they once worked) and choosing your own path forward

This is your reminder that growth doesn’t always mean doing more, it means doing things different. The best part is that you get to decide what that looks like! We’d love to know what rules you’re rewriting this season! Share yours with us over on IG at @AlliArruda and @Matt_Arruda!

A Birthday Letter from Matt: To the Woman You Already Are & Who You’ll Become

Fri, 16 Jan 2026 05:00:00 -0500

Today’s episode of Inspire + Move is a little different, and incredibly special.

Normally you hear from me, Alli, or from both Matt and I together. But today, Matt steps behind the mic solo to share something deeply personal: a letter to me, read aloud, in honour of my 40th birthday.

It’s not just a celebration of a milestone, but a reflection on what it means to step into a new decade with clarity, wisdom, and power. Matt speaks from his own experience of being “on the other side of 40” and shares words that every high-achieving, heart-centered woman will want to hear.

Whether you're turning 40 soon, have already crossed that threshold, or are simply navigating your next chapter, this one is full of love, encouragement, and reminders that you are never behind, you’re exactly where you’re meant to be.

Go show Matt some love for this beautiful episode on Instagram @Matt_Arruda!

Transitions: Who You Become When Life Changes

Wed, 14 Jan 2026 05:00:00 -0500

I’m back with my favourite co-host Matt in the studio, but this time it’s our new home! In this episode of Inspire + Move, Matt and I are sitting down together for the first time in a while to talk about something we’ve been moving through behind the scenes: big life transitions.

After over a decade in our previous home we made the decision to move, and while this change created space for possibility and expansion, it also came with moments of grief, shedding, and deep reflection. We’re opening up about the emotions, the growth, and the lessons that come with closing one chapter and stepping into the next.

Tune in to hear more about:
• Navigating transitions and who you really become when life changes
• Grieving what you’re leaving while staying excited for what’s ahead
• Releasing identities and roles that no longer serve the version of you you're becoming
• Letting go of “stuff” physically, emotionally, and energetically, to create space for more
• How to check in with what you’re making room for in 2026

Whether you’re in the middle of a big change or simply feeling the nudge to start something new, let this episode be a powerful reminder that growth often starts with letting go. We’d love to know what transitions you're moving through! DM us @AlliArruda or @Matt_Arruda and let’s keep the conversation going!

Real Talk: Take Time To Recognize Your Growth

Mon, 22 Dec 2025 05:00:00 -0500

Today I’m jumping on the mic for another solo chat and real-time, heartfelt reflection! As we wrap up the year, I’m speaking directly to my fellow high achievers and ambitious entrepreneurs who are constantly looking ahead to the next goal. But before we race into 2026, I want to invite you to pause and take a moment to recognize the growth you’ve already achieved.

Tune in to hear more about:
• Why high achievers often skip the part where we celebrate ourselves
• Emotional growth, grief, and the role fitness has played in my healing journey
• The importance of recognizing your progress so your nervous system knows it’s safe to rest
• Reflection journal prompts (listed below!) to acknowledge how far you've truly come this year

Growth isn’t just about big revenue milestones or loud wins, it can be in the small, brave decisions we make daily, the boundaries we finally set, or the things we’ve outgrown. Before we step into 2026, let’s take a deep breath, look back, and truly see who we’ve become. If this one speaks to your heart, I’d love to hear from you. DM me @AlliArruda! You deserve to be celebrated!

Mentioned:

Journaling Questions:

What feels easier for me now than it did at the start of this year?
What have I handled this year that would have completely overwhelmed a past version of me?
Where am I more confident — even if my goals got bigger?
What version of myself would my past self be proud of?

Real Talk: The Truth About Hard Days In Business

Thu, 18 Dec 2025 05:00:00 -0500

Today I’m jumping on the mic at the end of a challenging day to share some unfiltered reflections on what it really looks like behind the scenes of entrepreneurship. In this interesting season and in the spirit of keeping it real, I knew it was important to show up, even when things feel tough. This isn’t just about business strategy or high-energy wins, but about navigating the emotional labour, inner dialogue, and growth that comes with building something meaningful. If you’ve ever asked “Is it always going to feel this hard?” I’m right there with you.

Tune in to hear more about:
• What it feels like to carry the weight of a brick and mortar business in a tough season
• Burnout, frustration, imposter syndrome and emotional challenges we don’t always talk about
• Why slowing down doesn’t mean you’re falling behind
• A powerful reframe to remind yourself on a hard day

Entrepreneurship is messy, beautiful, exhausting, and full of moments that stretch us, but we don’t have to do it alone AND we don’t have to pretend it’s always easy. If this episode resonated, I’d love to hear what season you’re walking through. My DMs are always open @AlliArruda. Let’s reframe & reflect together.

Letting Go Of The Old You

Mon, 08 Dec 2025 05:00:00 -0500

Today on Inspire + Move, I’m recording straight from my closet (seriously!) as I navigate a very real season of transition. Inspired by a vulnerable question from one of our Mentor Collective Mastermind members, I’m diving deep into the often uncomfortable but necessary process of releasing past versions of ourselves to grow into who we're truly meant to be.

Tune in to hear more about:
• Why releasing the "old you" is one of the hardest parts of growth
• The connection between our nervous systems, comfort zones, and identity
• Acknowledging and honouring the roles of past versions of ourselves

• Creating rituals and taking aligned action toward your future self

There’s no need to rush the process. These in-between seasons are stretching us for a reason! I’m right here walking through it with you, and I hope this episode gives you the nudge to let go with love, step forward with intention, and celebrate the next version of you. If you're in a similar season, DM me on Instagram @AlliArruda & I’d love to cheer you on!

A Real, Raw Interview with My Dad, Jim Pigden About Life and Loss

Mon, 06 Oct 2025 05:00:00 -0400

TW: Losing a loved one, mental health, suicide, grief

On this week’s episode, I’m dipping into a slightly heavier topic and doing something a little different in honour of the anniversary of my Dad’s passing. I felt called to share this interview I did with my Dad in the summer of 2020 (a challenging time in the world) when we had a celebration for my brother Garrett and what would have been his 50th birthday. My Dad has some profound lessons that he shares that I think are also especially relevant to the world today, and how we need more love and kindness.

In this episode, we talk about:
• What did my Dad learn from brother?
• What life lessons did he learn from losing him?
• What message(s) has he learned or someone that has lost a family member too soon?
• What does the world need more of right now?

If you’re on a grief journey of your own, please know I’m sending you lots of love and strength. Life is short and unexpected but we only get one shot at it, so my advice to you all is to live your life to the fullest and to live with JOY!

The Pigden Family Fund Legacy Program:
In honour of my Dad and brother in support of the USANA Foundation, contributions to this fund will serve to impact the lives and communities around the world ensuring they have the necessities they need: https://www.zeffy.com/en-US/peer-to-peer/pigden-family-fund

I’m sharing what’s on my heart as I navigate grief, growth, and the deep inner work of softening. From packed seasons, to quiet moments, I’m looking into what this next chapter is asking of me, and maybe you can find answers from this too!

Tune in to hear more about:

In this episode of Inspire + Move, Matt and I are diving deep into a topic that’s become a guiding principle in both our personal and professional lives: playing the long game. From getting back into routine after travel, to pushing past imposter syndrome and saying yes to an invite that stretched me in all the right ways, this episode is full of takeaways on what it means to truly invest. From investing in your growth, in the right rooms, and most importantly, in the right relationships. This conversation is for anyone who’s craving deeper connections, higher-level friendships, and a reminder that big wins are often born from the seeds we plant now.

Tune in to hear more about:
• How investing in opportunity (even when it feels scary!) can unlock the doors to both personal and professional growth.
• Why relationship capital is one of the most important currencies you can build, and how to focus on deposits, not withdrawals.

• Real-life examples of how small, intentional acts led to major connections.
• The truth about proximity, showing up, and why no one is coming to save you.

Challenging Week as an Entrepreneur? Try These 4 Things!

Mon, 26 May 2025 05:00:00 -0400

Back for another solo episode, and I’m talking about the kind of week that throws everything at you: unexpected challenges, tech issues, business curveballs, and just a general low-vibe spiral. We’ve all had those weeks right? Whether you’re in a season like this now or want to be prepared for when it hits, because it somehow always does, I’m sharing what helped me get grounded, shift my mindset, and move forward, physically and emotionally. Instead of pushing through the hard energy when you feel completely “off”, I took a different approach and want to walk you through the exact steps that helped me feel aligned again!

Go for a walk and tune in to learn more about:

• How I shifted my mindset by getting intentional about what I was consuming.
• Using movement as a supportive tool to generate energy and shake off low-vibe days.
• Why slowing down and prioritizing rest, even a short nap or digital detox, can be powerful when you’re running on empty.
• The importance of quality connection and surrounding yourself with the right energy.
• Giving yourself permission to feel it all, without judgment, and still find your way back to your center.

If you too have had one of “those” weeks lately, I hope this episode reminds you that you’re not alone, AND that you’ve got tools around you to lean on. Let this be the nudge to take care of yourself in the ways that matter most! I’d love to hear how you’re navigating your own highs and lows and come connect with me on Instagram @AlliArruda!

From Passion to Profit

Thu, 22 May 2025 05:00:00 -0400

Welcome back to Inspire + Move! In this solo episode, I’m opening up about a story that’s shaped so much of who I am today! It’s all about how my passion for fitness grew from personal loss, and how that passion became a business built on healing, strength, and real impact. It’s not always a straight path from what moves us emotionally to what drives us professionally. I’ll be reflecting on the turning points,some painful, some empowering, that ultimately led to creating BENCHMARK Fitness and building a life that feels aligned and deeply fulfilling.

Listen to the full episode to hear more about:
• How fitness became my anchor after losing my brother, and how it helped me begin to heal.
• The journey from an unhealthy relationship with body image to embracing strength, energy, and long-term health.
• Leaving the security of a corporate job to pursue a bigger purpose, even when the timing didn’t feel perfect.
• The reality of entrepreneurship through uncertainty, and what kept us going through pandemic challenges.
• Why it’s worth doing a “passion audit” to reconnect with what lights you up, and how that can become something more.

If you’ve ever wondered how to build something meaningful from your experiences, this episode will give you the honesty behind the highlight reel. I always love hearing what resonates with you! Come say hi on Instagram @AlliArruda and let me know what part of the episode stuck out!

Thu, 14 Nov 2024 05:00:00 -0500

The theme of consistency has been extremely present in my life lately, so in this episode I want to share some insights on the topic from my personal experiences, with a focus on healthy habit building and exercise. However, I’ll also talk about the beautiful energetic alignment between the discipline that comes with consistency at something like working out and how it directly relates to personal development and entrepreneurship! Tune in for a moment of self reflection and how to keep working toward your goals throughout the end of this year! Listen for more on:

• A little bit about my current fitness goals and where I’ve seen improvement through consistency.
• Why ‘showing your work’ and progress when it comes to your goals is so important.
• Small ways you can take bitesize steps to produce habits and achieve success.
• Why you should celebrate your growth!

I hope you take time to think on the question “Where in your life, routine or business could benefit from dialed-in consistency?” I’d love to hear from you and your thoughts on this over on my instagram at @InspireAndMove!

How to Make Friends As An Adult

Mon, 28 Oct 2024 05:00:00 -0400

A topic I find that comes up more and more these days, is the challenge of making friends as an adult. Since I'm a huge advocate for cultivating community and creating connections, I wanted to share 3 of my best tips for getting out there and building new friendships! Especially if you’re an entrepreneur, you’ll know how isolating and difficult it can be, so I hope these ideas remind you that it’s possible and maybe even easier than you think! In this episode I’ll touch on:

• Why fitness communities are a great place to start for finding like-minded friends.
• You have to put in the work and effort to get there, but it’s worth it!
• There is so much variety when it comes to in-person events, from types, to sizes and more!
• It’s okay to change who you want in your circle as you evolve.
• The secret to building IRL friendships from social media.

We are all in this together! I’d love to know other ways you’ve made friends as an adult! Shoot me a DM on IG @InspireAndMove and let’s chat! Also check out the links before for some of my own events!

8 Things I'm Doing For My Expansion SZN

Thu, 22 Aug 2024 05:00:00 -0400

Today on the Inspire + Move podcast I wanted to share with you 8 things I am doing in my expansion, leveling up season! Being a multi-faceted entrepreneur with some lofty goals can become overwhelming, but I’ve realized I can’t do it alone or without making some real changes or investments in particular ways. Some of these items are completely brand new to me and I am excited to bring you along for the beginning of this journey! Hopefully it can provide you with some ideas you might want to adopt yourself! Let’s dive into:

• Mindset coaches and committing to the extra work that comes with investing yourself into something.
• Different kinds of mediations and habit-stacking them into your routine so they’ll stick.
|• The power you have to change the energy that you sit in throughout your day.
• The multiple benefits of intentional outdoor walking.
• Creating space and changing your schedule for your passions and projects, especially if you’re a people pleaser.
• How you show up differently when you invest into expansive rooms or events.

Remember, you can’t grow by doing the same things you’ve always done and you have to put in the work, but start small! I know we’ve got this! I would love to know which one of these resonated with you most or if you are going to try any of them for the first time as well! My DM’s are always open at @InspireAndMove and be sure to leave a rating or review on this episode if you got something from it!

Embracing Your Outsourcing Era!

Mon, 05 Aug 2024 05:00:00 -0400

I am having a blast bringing you these solo episodes, and have so appreciated hearing your feedback on my last few! Today I wanted to chat with you all about the value and possibilities that can come from outsourcing! I’ll dive into what this looks like for myself on a personal and professional level, and hopefully provide you with some inspiration for where you might be able to implement and navigate doing this in your own life. Time to spend more of life pouring back into yourself, and outsourcing can be an avenue for that! Let’s dive in!

• Why as a personal trainer, I choose to have my own personal trainer and can’t recommend it enough.
• How outsourcing can help you move the needle forward when it comes to your bigger goals.
• The benefits of scheduling and blocking out specific time to fill your cup.
• Outsourcing for your business or personal brand.
• Spending money to make money can be scary, but rewarding and a great energy exchange when you can reframe your mind on it.

So this week I challenge you to think about where you could do a little outsourcing personally or professionally and how that could impact you positively! I am always here to cheer you on!

I LOVE hearing you in my dm’s, so don’t hesitate to reach out and let me know what you’d like to hear me talk about in future episodes whether that be topics, guests or more!

My (Current) Morning Routine

Mon, 29 Jul 2024 05:00:00 -0400

I have always been inspired and intrigued by hearing about the morning routines of other entrepreneurs and business owners I know, follow and love, so I thought I would share my own current morning routine with you! As I take steps into growth and develop personal goals, I find how I dial into my routine and allocate time for particular things become increasingly more important in achieving those other items down the line, especially when it comes to energy! Maybe you’ll find something you want to add to your own morning or daytime routine! Tune in to hear about:

• What time Matt and I usually get up at and how we begin the first hour of our day.
• Types of quick and easy snacks I prepare to stay fueled.
• Why I’ve loved adding glōci into my routine and the supplements I take.
• How the day is slightly adjusted if we are getting up later and what we do differently.
• Why the “Power Nine” has been a big needle mover for us both professionally and personally.

If you are starting your day with low vibes and energy, consider doing a little audit of your morning routine and look to make some small adjustments! I’d love to hear about your own morning routine, so shoot me a message at @InspireAndMove!

As always, I would dearly appreciate a share, rating or review of this podcast if you enjoyed this episode! So grateful for you!

Thu, 25 Jul 2024 05:00:00 -0400

This podcast is all about sharing real life experiences and lessons in hopes it will inspire you in your own life and businesses! I’m so grateful to get to share this recent moment all about an encounter with the feelings of fear and failure!

• My story with trying something new and how it can feel very similar to entrepreneurship.
• Deciding what’s more frustrating: failing or not trying at all?
• The number one thing I ask myself when faced with a challenge I’m fearful of.

What I want you to take away from this moment is to think about how you can apply this enthusiasm to your own experiences- how can you try something outside your comfort zone and explore what could actually come from that? I am cheering you on!

Had a similar experience? Tag me on instagram by sharing your story or send me a DM! I would LOVE to hear about your brave moments and connect! As always it would mean the world to me if you could rate, review or share this podcast with a friend in need of some encouragement!

Surrounding Yourself With The Right People

Thu, 18 Jul 2024 05:00:00 -0400

This episode was inspired by a wonderful weekend Matt and I just had after a road trip to meet with some wonderful friends! It was full of so much laughter and deep conversations! I’ve talked about friendships many times on this podcast before, because I feel there is immense value in how who you choose to surround yourself with can ultimately impact the path you are on and how you achieve your goals when it’s with the right people! So join me for this concise and positive chat! Tune in to hear more on:

• How we spend our time and who we spend it with affects us professionally and personally.
• When you prioritize or have strong core values in something, you will naturally collect and connect with other people who do and want similar things.
• Not everyone is going to join you on the ride or cheer you on during your journey, and that’s okay!
• Navigating turbulent times make you stronger and you want to surround yourself with people who will celebrate small wins with you!

I am so grateful to have you here and for your support of this podcast! I would love to connect and hear from you on socials @InspireAndMove!

Mon, 01 Apr 2024 05:00:00 -0400

One of my favourite parts about this podcast is getting to share with all of you the lessons I’m learning within my own life in real time, right in the middle of the process! So in today’s episode I’m going to be talking about really leaning into the current moment of your life, specifically if you’re in an unexpected season of momentum, whether in your business or just life in general! Oftentimes even when there are so many positives to these phases, if it's not exactly the goals you had in mind, it can leave you confused with where to go next and how to adjust! So tune in and let’s get real about:

• A vulnerable moment I had the other day around an identity shift and uncertainty of focus.
• When you have big goals and plans, sometimes they can change- and that’s okay!
• Words of wisdom from a friend about searching for joy!
• What I did to engage and move forward with this new spark and direction.
• How to pivot, adjust and celebrate your momentum season.

So remember: lean in, be present and get connected to that momentum! Tell me what your momentum season looks like for you by sharing this episode in your stories on IG and tagging me in it @inspiredandmove!

Healing Journey Tips

Thu, 29 Feb 2024 05:00:00 -0500

Bringing you some softer vibes with a deeper topic on today’s episode as I chat about the healing journey after loss. This is something that hits close to home for me, and recently with a few of my dear friends, so I thought I would take the time to share the things I focused on and the tools that helped me to navigate those moments as gently and kindly as possible.This can apply to a variety of forms of pain or loss you may be experiencing and I hope it meets you where you are! Here is what I get into:

• Listening to your body as well as your soul when it comes to allowing yourself stillness
• Being mindful of energy draining activities and leaning into nourishing habits, like movement and sleep.
• The importance of “feeling the feels” and releasing those built up emotions therapeutically, whether physically or through journaling.

There is so much value in practicing and keeping these tips in your back pocket when those harder moments or days can sneak up on you out of nowhere. Remember to take it one step at a time and show yourself tons of grace and support!

Sending you love + encouragement wherever you might be in your journey today.

Now is still the perfect time to refresh and realign yourself with your goals and all you want to achieve!

Friendships for Reasons, Seasons and Lifetimes

Thu, 18 Jan 2024 05:00:00 -0500

It’s been on my heart to talk about this saying you may or may not have heard before that says, “People come into your life for a reason, a season, or a lifetime.” Experiencing any season of your life where you’re in a period of growth, always comes with some growing pains, especially with the people you’re closest with. So today I wanted to talk about navigating friendships as they change and give you something to reflect on! Tune in to this episode to hear more about:

• Going through each category of time, “a reason, a season, or a lifetime” and what they mean.
• Taking a moment of gratitude for current and past relationships.
• Putting the extra effort into long distance friendships.

• Why the proximity of putting yourself in front of people is important.
• Why everyone needs a network and the impact of referrals.
• Preparing yourself to go all out, connect with others and be vulnerable when you finally make the move to get in the room.

Finding JOY in the Small Things with Matt

Thu, 16 Nov 2023 05:00:00 -0500

Over the last few years I think we have all learned in different ways how to appreciate the small joys in life, more than ever before. So join myself and Matt as we chat about finding the magic and specialness in the ordinary things! When we can easily get caught up in the daily motions, there is nothing better than hearing what other people do to fill their own cup, so tune as we chat about:

• It is usually experiences and time spent with people we care about that bring us more joy than materialistic things.
• Intentionally making simple routines or chore-like activities and fun.
• Reframing your mindset into one of gratitude and appreciation.
• Examples and ideas of things we do that bring us joy!

Life is much more exciting when you can be aware of the conscious acts that make you happy!

Is there something mundane that you love to make special in your day to day? Share it with me, my DM’s are open!

Join me along with my favourite co-host and husband Matt Arruda, as we discuss a topic that was really resonating with Matt over the past few weeks.

• Reflecting on the kind of support and relationships around you, as well as the impact they could have on your journey.
• Making that commitment to try difficult things for the first time in order to gain confidence.
• Shifting your mindset and focusing on consistency.

Unless you make a change, even starting with a small one, you can’t expect growth to happen. Don't be scared to break down your fears and ask yourself, what’s the worst AND best that could happen?

Are you in the middle of a sprint season right now? Send me a DM on Instagram because I would love to celebrate with you!

A Balanced Perspective on Mental, Emotional + Physical Fitness with Sydnie Sandwell

Thu, 12 Oct 2023 05:00:00 -0400

Thrilled to have another guest on the podcast, my personal trainer and friend Sydnie Sandwell! In this coffee chat we are covering all things surrounding physical, mental and emotional health and fitness! We both share our histories with having unhealthy relationships with food and exercise in the past, and how we turned it into a passion for fitness and being STRONG! So grab a comfy seat as we discuss:

• Having those “pivot point” moments of reflecting on our unhealthy habits and learning through self discovery where we needed to make some changes.
• Reframing your mindset ultimately has to come from you and how to grow in positive self-talk.
• Advice if you want to start going to the gym and what you might be missing if you already do.
• A healthy lifestyle stand point on nutrition, diet and the balance of enjoying things.
• Emotional fitness, building strength and what you can gain from building a healthy routine in your life.

There is always room for improvement and areas we can beautifully grow in on each of our journeys, but it’s so important to remember to be kind to yourself through the process!

In the Moment of Opportunity + Gratitude!

Mon, 09 Oct 2023 05:00:00 -0400

I am buzzing with excitement to chat with all of you today! After my most recent episode, When Opportunity Knocks, I’ve since had an amazing opportunity come my way that I’m so grateful for. Although I can’t talk on all the details about it just yet, in this episode I want to speak on the significance of these 3 areas that can build up to your own opportunities:

• The power of positive thinking, manifestation and ways you can grow in this.
• The power of taking action and asking for support from others.
• The power of investing in yourself, strong connections and networks.

Just watch how all these pieces will work together harmoniously for you to get you to where you want to be!

As always, I am beyond grateful to have you along for this journey! Plus, I would LOVE to be your hype girl on something you are thinking about pursuing yourself! Every listen, rating and review is cherished and appreciated by me immensely!

When Opportunity Knocks

Thu, 05 Oct 2023 05:00:00 -0400

I have always been a big fan of the notion “When opportunity knocks”, and the feelings of shock, joy and growth that it can turn into when you take that big leap! In this episode I’ll dive into some personal stories where I’ve really leaned into unexpected moments of opportunity and hopefully inspire you to keep these ideas in mind within your own life! Tune in to hear:

• Unexpectedly starting a new relationship, buying a house, establishing our gym and attending a round table mastermind.
• When the opportunity for your plans comes earlier than your personal timeline.
• The snowball effect of opportunities when you have an open heart and say YES!

So next time an opportunity comes your way, ask yourself “What’s the harm in saying yes?” You don’t know what fantastic moments and amazing people that can come from it!

As always, I am so grateful for you and would very much appreciate you leaving a podcast review from wherever you are listening!

Power of Proximity

Mon, 25 Sep 2023 05:00:00 -0400

In this episode I felt really inspired to talk about the power of proximity! A lot of amazing things have happened in the last year, but not without the hard work, intentionality and making strategic choices that I want to share with you! Listen to hear more about:

• Making the choice to invest in people, places and experiences that you want to be around.
• Writing down and asking yourself “Who do I love, admire and respect?”
• In what ways you can be intentional about showing up in other’s orbits and providing value from an authentic, heart-centered place.

So start dreaming and make that list, you never know what can happen!

The Beautiful Balance of Momentum + Gratitude

Thu, 21 Sep 2023 05:00:00 -0400

After this podcast launch, hosting my 3rd Women Inspiring Women event and then flying to Scottsdale Arizona, I wanted to jump on here for a quick episode to talk about when we encounter those busier seasons in our lives! Channeling that on-fire energy again, I share about:

• Preparing yourself and your mindset for this time.
• Being open to the magic and opportunities that can come.
• The moments you take to slow down and rest are just as important as the momentum and excitement.

Really soaking in these moments with gratitude is key and I’m so glad you could join me! Have you been in a busy season before and mastered the art of slowing down? Send me your wisdom over DMs!

Sending love and high vibes!
