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

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.Lindsey’s Links:Lindsey’s Instagram @lindseymarieofficialPowerhouse Women Instagram @powerhouse_women Powerhouse Women WebsiteGet on the Mentor Collective Mastermind waitlist for the next time enrollment is open!

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

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.

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

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!

Energy Is Contagious — And So Is the Opposite

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.Want to work with me?

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

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.Dr. Michelle’s LinksInstagram @DrMichellePerisWild Medicine PodcastWebsite The Wild CollectiveThe Poppy ClinicWant to work with me?

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

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!Stay tuned for part 2 of this chat!
