Inspire + Move

Ever wonder what magnetic women do differently? Matt and I just got back from a mastermind in Newport Beach and went straight into hosting my third female founders dinner, and it reminded me of the two things I see magnetic women do again and again.

In this solo episode, I’m sharing why I treat every event, mastermind and dinner as “an investment, not an indulgence,” why how you show up (yes, the outfit!) changes your energy in a room, and the magic I watched unfold around my table when a group of incredible women started celebrating each o...

What would you tell yourself in your first year of business? In this episode, I’m sharing the conversation I wish someone had with me in year one. Lately my DMs have been full of questions from women just starting out: How do I get my first clients? I’m too scared to post! Do I need a personal brand? 
So I’m taking you back to June 2019, when Matt and I bought what is now Benchmark Fitness and I was literally Googling how to run a business.

Back then I was so green. I thought everyon...

What do you do when a one star Google review hits your small business? I'm sharing the story of our first ever one star rating at Benchmark Fitness, from the moment the alert came in, to the conversation that turned it into five stars! Whether you're brick and mortar like Matt and I,  or a solopreneur with a service or product, your testimonials, reviews and client feedback matter, and this one felt like a teachable moment.

For context, when we bought the gym in 2019 we inherited a really lousy Google rating, and I was toald by Google t...

Is work-life balance really achievable, or is it a myth we've all been sold? In this episode, Matt and I get into why we've stopped chasing balance altogether and started embracing what we call “work-life harmony” instead. We talk about the seasons of running a business, choosing your stress instead of resenting it, and why giving yourself permission to define your own "enough" might be the most important mindset shift you can make as an entrepreneur.

We also share a few of our own behind-the-scenes moments (including one particularly memorable soap dispenser repair at Benchmark), why recognizing your...

I’m back with another collab episode with my friend Kristina Bartold, host of the podcast Community, and co-founder of The Social Snippet and High Vibe Women.

We dive into what it actually takes to build brand collaborations, pitch sponsorship, and create the kind of community-first experiences that make people want to say yes. Kristina shares how High Vibe Women grew out of a simple piece of advice she once received, and...

How do you find the confidence to raise your prices without losing sleep over it? That's exactly what I get into with Nicole Crone, co-host of My Aligned Purpose, on our very first collab together! Nicole is the co-founder of My Aligned Purpose with her business partner Kaila Pilecki, and together they've built a coaching business for women entrepreneurs that crossed a million dollars in revenue after making one of the scariest pivots of their business: moving forty-six one-on-one clients into a group coaching program.

We get into the real, unfiltered story behind that pivot, the bathtub-crying...

Wondering how to be more visible online without feeling fake or forced?
I'm back with a short but sweet solo episode on a topic you all know that I am SO passionate about: visibility. I'm taking you all the way back to when I started my Inspire + Move Instagram account, back when I used to crop my own face out of every photo! I share the whole story of going from faceless photos to fully stepping into being seen, plus a homework assignment I give my 1:1 clients to help them find their content pillars.

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.

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.

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!

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...
