Turning a dream into reality takes hard work, resilience, and a clear vision. My husband, Matt Arruda, and I share the journey of how we turned our dream of owning a gym into the thriving Benchmark Fitness community. From the challenges of purchasing the gym just before the pandemic hit to navigating lockdowns, we discuss how our passion for creating a space where people feel seen and supported kept us moving forward. We also explore how rebranding the gym and incorporating wellness services like red light therapy, cold plunges, and member socials helped us create a holistic wellness club. If you've ever had a dream that felt out of reach, we hope our story inspires you to keep pushing forward!
March is here, and with it comes the perfect opportunity to reset, refocus, and rejuvenate. A new month symbolizes fresh beginnings, untapped potential, and a chance to realign with your goals and dreams. Whether February was a month of big wins or unexpected challenges, March offers a blank slate to move forward with purpose. Let’s dive into some practical and empowering wellness and mindset tips to help you make the most of this month!
In today’s fast-paced business world, success is not just about what you know—it’s also about who you know. Relationships and networking play a crucial role in expanding opportunities, fostering personal growth, and creating a community of support. In a recent podcast episode, we had the pleasure of sitting down with two incredible women, Kristina Bartold and Tori Kruse, to discuss how business networking and friendships can help entrepreneurs thrive. Here are some of the key takeaways from our inspiring conversation.
For the last few weeks, I’ve been keeping a little secret… and now it’s time to share it with the world. I’ve been quietly coaching some seriously badass entrepreneurs to get to their next level—and now, I’m opening the doors to extend that opportunity to YOU!
These incredible entrepreneurs have experienced transformations that have left me in awe, and I couldn’t be more proud of their growth and success. Watching their journeys has inspired me to help even more women elevate every aspect of their lives. So here’s the big news:
Today, I am thrilled to officially launch my 1:1 Personal Coaching and Business Mentorship Program!
As I celebrate another trip around the sun, I find myself reflecting on the incredible journey of the past year. It's been a year of momentum, growth, and impactful lessons that have shaped my perspective and approach to life.
You know I love to share powerful information with you, so why not share some of my lessons learned (and embraced!) over the past 365 days.
I don’t know about you, but I have a really GOOD FEELING about 2025! Just the sound of ‘twenty twenty-five’ sounds strong and powerful, ya know?
Matt and I have been hustling hard in 2023 and 2024 with big goals and big dreams, and taking the necessary action to support those big goals and dreams (that part is crucial!)
As we welcome this beautiful new year I’m excited to bring you more content that helps YOU expand to your next level and welcome all the abundance that you deserve.
As we embark on a new year, I'm excited to share my curated reading list for 2024. On January 1st Matt and I always set out our intentions for the year- one of which is how many books we’d like to read.
My goal was 20 and I’m so proud to say that I smashed my goal!!
As a high achieving mindset entrepreneur, it is such a delight to connect with other amazing like-minded women with similar aspirations and to really build upon those quality connections! It was so wonderful to have Dr. Michelle Peris on my podcast the other month and I couldn’t pass up the opportunity to share some of the amazing highlights from our conversation on all things community, personal health, and building lasting relationships that can inspire people to feel their best inside and out!
I am a firm believer in collaboration over competition. It is a delight that so many others in my community have this same belief! There is so much room for all of us in whatever area of business or industry you might find yourself in. Everyone is going to do things a little differently and put their own unique spin on it, even if what you are offering might appear generally similar on the surface. The sooner you can step into your own gift and uplift the ones around you, the sooner you can operate out of an abundance mindset, not one of scarcity.
Well, its December 2024 as I write this blog… so I thought it was about time to share my 2023 reading list with you 😂
There’s something really satisfying to me about logging all of the books I read in a year- perhaps its the blend of the intention I set at the beginning of each year (how many books I want to read) as well as the art of journaling and recording the books I read.
I really LOVED all of these books and I LOVE sharing good book recommendations with good people, so let’s get to it!
