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!

Nivå: A2-B1 Är du trött på att inte förstå vad folk säger till dig? Eller på att inte kunna använda poddar och serier på svenska utan undertexter? Då är det här avsnittet för dig! Jag ger dig alla mina tips för att få en bra hörförståelse. För att registrera dig för Free 6 Week Challenge och få hela din deposition tillbaka om du klarar att gå på 30 lektioner inom 6 veckor klicka här! Transkript: Tjena tjena! Det här är Simple Swedish Podcast. Jag heter Fredrik. Och idag ska vi prata om hörförståelse. Alltså att förstå det man hör. För det händer säkert ofta att du försöker lyssna på svenska men att du har väldigt svårt att förstå. Och kanske så förstår du den här podden lättare än de flesta andra poddar. Och det är för att jag talar lite långsammare med enklare ord och så. Och det är specifikt för att träna hörförståelse även om du inte är på en jättehög nivå. Men vi vill såklart nå en hög nivå i hörförståelse. Vi vill kunna förstå när människor pratar snabbt. Vi vill förstå vanliga poddar, tv-serier, filmer och kunna ha samtal på, ah svenska då för dig. Men de här teknikerna och de här strategierna, de som vi ska prata om idag, de fungerar såklart för alla språk. Och ja, innan vi börjar ska jag tacka några patrons såklart. Och det är Roberto, Brenda, Chris, Maija, J. Torres, Agnes, Jatthew, Raphael, Petar och Makino. Så, tack till er för att ni stödjer den här podden. Och en annan grej också innan vi börjar. Så, du kanske hörde om den här Free 6 week challenge som jag pratade om i ett par andra avsnitt, och det var så att den sålde slut ganska snabbt. Så vi sålde alla platser, vi utökade till och med från 50 till 60 platser, men de tog slut allihopa, så därför öppnar vi en ny Free 6 Week Challenge. Och den startar den 26:e (tjugosjätte) maj, alltså väldigt snart. Så om du vill vara med så se till att registrera dig så snart som möjligt. Senast på lördag. Och vi kommer ha ett onboarding call på söndag och sen på måndag den 26:e (tjugosjätte) maj så startar utmaningen. Och det är alltså att man går på 30 lektioner inom 6 veckor, och om man klarar det så får man sin deposition tillbaka. Så det är en väldigt, väldigt, väldigt bra deal. Och det är perfekt för dig som redan kan en del svenska men du behöver komma igång med att prata mycket. Länk finns i beskrivningen, okej. Så men nu ska vi prata, inte om att prata, utan om att förstå det man hör, hörförståelse, okej. Och hörförståelse är ju faktiskt väldigt, väldigt viktigt när man har samtal på svenska. För om du inte förstår personen du pratar med då blir det väldigt svårt att ha en konversation, okej. Och det finns två grundläggande färdigheter för en bra hörförståelse. Och det är, för det första, att förstå många ord. Så du måste kunna förstå många, många, många ord för att ha ett bra samtal och för att ha bra hörförståelse och du behöver också ha tränat ditt öra att förstå talspråk. Okej. Talspråk, det talade språket. Så du behöver ett stort ordförråd, förstå många ord. Och du behöver träna dig att förstå talspråk. Okej, så. Vi ska gå igenom fem punkter som är väldigt viktiga för att förstå talad svenska, eller vilket språk som helst. Och om du applicerar de här metoderna och teknikerna så kommer du garanterat att få mycket bättre hörförståelse. Så! ..för resten av transkriptet - klicka här

This week, I sat down with Joe Hoye, a fitness and weight loss expert who takes a unique approach to nutrition and fitness — specifically for women who are tired of traditional dieting and want a sustainable solution to meet their health goals. Unlike most coaches, Joe encourages women to eat more and exercise less to achieve long-term weight loss and metabolic health. His Diet Detox program has helped over a thousand women ditch restrictive diets, rebuild their metabolism, and reshape their lives. Through our conversation, we discuss the flawed mindset behind traditional dieting, the importance of identifying and consuming the right amount of calories (hint: it's not anywhere close to 1200!), and how to effectively rebuild metabolism after years of restrictive eating. Joe also touches on why he advocates for measuring food intake initially, but focuses on sustainable, long-term habits afterward. We dive deep into the psychological aspects of weight loss, like how mindset and identity shifts are often necessary for achieving lasting change. Joe shares his unique tactics, such as setting a purpose tied to one's most important relationships and adopting behaviors of the ideal future self today. We also discuss the significance of understanding body cues and adopting a healthy relationship with food that doesn't involve tracking everything we eat. If you're tired of traditional dieting that provides short-term results, please join us for this deep-dive discussion on how to actually achieve healthy, long-term, sustainable weight loss — without burning yourself out.

Today's readings are from John 1:1-14; Psalm 36; Job 29; Exodus 40When the Second Person of the Holy Trinity takes on human flesh he becomes more real for us. And so does religion, faith, truth, hope, love, and salvation. The Word became flesh...full of grace and truth. So profound. So simple. Such a mystery. Such a blessing. This faith we profess and believe is not just a concept. It is embodied in a person, Jesus of Nazareth. Son of Mary. Son of God. Real religion honors him by trusting in him, believing his promises, aligning ourselves with the Truth of his word, and reflecting his grace to all people.

Today's readings are Luke 1:39-80; 1 Samuel 2; Ezekiel 24 & 29God doesn't smite people for fun - an overstatement to be sure. His ways are part of a more sweeping story of creation, fall, redemption, and consummation. The rise and fall of Babylon, Egypt, and Israel are part of the cosmic span of history. The manner of setting things right falls on the shoulders of Jesus, who will take the strike of God's hand of justice so that we may experience the mercy of God. There will be a day. And on that day we who wait, hope, and trust humbly in God's faithful and gracious love will rejoice in God's salvation.

Today's readings are Luke 1:14-38; Malachi 4; Leviticus 10; Jeremiah 33Most followers of Jesus are willing to play second fiddle to Jesus. But as Christ-followers, we are also to be willing to play second fiddle to one another. Philippians 2:3 says, "Don't be selfish; don't try to impress others. Be humble, thinking of others as better than yourselves." In other words we ought always be willing to be second.

Back with a brand new episode after Matt and I crossed the finish line of our first-ever HYROX race in Atlanta! What a ride! In this episode, we are reflecting on one of the most physically and mentally demanding challenges we've ever taken on together, and the unexpected lessons that came with it. From pushing our limits, to shifting our mindset, committing to the unknown, and celebrating what it means to grow as a team, this race was about so much more than fitness. Whether you've heard of HYROX before or not, we hope this episode leaves you fired up to commit to something hard and go all in on yourself.Tune in to hear more about:• Why we signed up for HYROX as part of a business mastermind wager—and what that meant to us.• The mental battles and breakthroughs, we experienced during the race.• What training together revealed about our marriage and teamwork.• Redefining what success looks like when doing something completely new.• The power of commitment, consistency, and why sometimes you just need to pull the band-aid off and go for it.If you've been thinking about doing something outside your comfort zone, whether in business, fitness, or life, let this inspire you to take that first step. You are more capable than you think, and sometimes the best way to prove it to yourself is by showing up for the hard things.

When we go to worship in a church building we can thank God for those who built it and who make it available for us even today. Although God is present everywhere. He has promised to be present in a very special way where two or three are gathered in his name, and when we receive the Lord's Supper where Jesus' body and blood are present in a mysterious, miraculous, and merciful way.God delights to be with us. We should delight to be with him as well. 

We're back for another episode of Inspire + Move! Join Matt and I as we reflect on our recent trip to Newport Beach for the Elite Entrepreneur Mastermind. It was a bucket list experience and one that had a powerful impact on us, both personally and professionally. After months of momentum and huge goals achieved for us in our business, this mastermind came at the perfect time. From the energy in the room, to the bold decisions we've taken since, we talk all about why being in the right room can completely transform your trajectory. Tune in to hear more about:• Why getting in the room is the shortcut, and how proximity to the right people accelerates your growth.• Lessons from Super Coffee founder Jimmy DeCicco on keeping more of what you build and growing with purpose.• How we took immediate action from what we learned, from new hires, bigger content goals, and launching our 6-week challenge.• The mindset shift of hiring who you are not and why automating, delegating, and trusting your team are non-negotiables.• The power of energy, connection, knowing your strengths, and how this shapes your business and life.If you've ever wondered what really goes on behind the scenes of a mastermind or you're ready to start surrounding yourself with next-level thinkers, listen in and share this episode with a friend!  Your support means the world to us, and we love hearing how these conversations inspire you so connect with us over on Instagram @AlliArruda and @Matt_Arruda!The BENCHMARK FITNESS 6-Week Challenge is here, with programs for every lifestyle:• Bodyweight: No equipment needed.• Dumbbell: Minimal gear, maximum results.• Gym: Full access, full potential.

Excited to be back after a short hiatus, in this episode of Inspire + Move I'm joined by my usual co-host and husband Matt Arruda, as we dive deep into a topic that's close to our hearts and probably yours too: doing hard things! Whether it's making a business decision, having a vulnerable conversation, navigating loss or even tackling a tough workout, its no secret that hard things shape us, refine us, and push us to grow. Fresh from our latest mastermind events in Newport Beach and Las Vegas, we reflect on how embracing hard challenges in life and business has shaped our growth. We talk about how every decision is a choice, and the key is in choosing the right kind of hard.Tune in to hear more about:• The power of making hard decisions,  and how they actually set you free.• Why discomfort and challenge are necessary for growth in health, business, and relationships.• The mindset shift of “we get to” vs “we have to”  and how this reframing brings gratitude.• Real-life examples of how hard conversations and bold choices helped us evolve our business and our community.• Lessons learned from grief, pivoting, and outgrowing old circles, and how these hard things can spark your next level.If you're in a season of uncertainty or on the edge of a big decision, we hope this conversation inspires you to see your challenges not as roadblocks, but as opportunities to rise. Let's remember: We GET to do hard things and through them, we become stronger.

Kicking off the Spring 10-Week Challenge - April 13th, 2025

Nivå: A2-B1 I det här avsnittet pratar vi om begreppet "den svenska synden" som blev en grej på 50- och 60-talen. På grund av några kontroversiella filmer började världen se Sverige som ett land där folk var moraliskt lössläppta och gick runt nakna i naturen. Så var det såklart inte i verkligheten! Hon dansade en sommar (YouTube) Sommaren med Monika (YouTube, rätt bra kvalité) Free 6 Week Challenge har öppnat! Är du redo att verkligen börja prata svenska? Vi ger dig 30 konversationslektioner i Language Gym och om du klarar att gå på alla inom 6 veckor är det helt gratis! Gå in här och läs mer, och registrera dig så fort som möjligt - platserna är begränsade!   Transkript   Ja, men välkommen ska du vara till Simple Swedish Podcast. Och ja, Jag har inte vant mig än vid att jag också spelar in den här som video. Så det här avsnittet kan du alltså både lyssna på och titta på på YouTube. Så jag har återaktiverat min YouTube-kanal, kan man säga. Och ja, jag har ganska mycket skägg för att min sån här trimmer, batteriet, har slutat fungera.   Så jag kan inte trimma skägget, så därför bara växer det. Så jag måste köpa en ny. Men det var inte mitt skägg som vi ska prata om idag. Utan idag ska vi prata om någonting som ni kanske inte känner till. Och som vissa svenskar inte heller kanske känner till. Men det är någonting ganska intressant i Sveriges moderna historia. Och det är om den svenska synden. En synd, vad är det? Jo, det är liksom någonting som man inte ska göra. Någonting som är moraliskt dåligt, oftast enligt en religion. Så vi har till exempel i Bibeln har vi de sju dödssynderna. Och det är till exempel att du skall icke dräpa. Vilket betyder att man inte ska döda andra människor. Och det finns den här.. eller det kanske är budorden faktiskt.   Tio budord, sju dödssynder. Jag vet inte vilka som är vilka. Min bibelkunskap är inte på topp. Men jag tror det är det här med girighet, lathet eller lättja som man egentligen säger. De här beteendena som man absolut inte ska göra. Det är de sju dödssynderna.   ....för resten av transkriptet klicka här!

In today's episode, John R. Miles explores the concept of choice bracketing, a powerful framework that shows how the seemingly small decisions we make every day can compound over time to significantly impact our future.
