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.
