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!

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!

Today we have my usual favourite co-host and husband Matt Arruda, but this time with a twist! In this episode I'll be interviewing Matt all about the art of sales, how to deliver intentional and quality customer service, and showing up as your best and most passionate self to others. Regardless of if you are directly in a position of sales in your career, these powerful insights can be applied not only in business, but in our relationships and many aspects of life! Sales does not have to be an ugly word, but can be meaningful when it's surrounding something you love. Listen in to hear more on:• Matt's extensive background in sales with luxury vehicles and how he persistently got into the industry. • The significance of passion and having an unspoken connection to the product/service in relation to sales. • The power of the “follow up” and Matt's personable process with communication of clients.• Why does your appearance matter?• Changing other people's past experiences or thoughts of your chosen industry- focusing on more than just the product or service.• An overview of the key principles in the art of sales.At the end of the day, people will always remember how you made them feel!
