    How to Handle Business Challenges Without Losing Yourself with Dr. Michelle Paris (Part 2)

    I’m back with Dr. Michelle Paris for part 2 of our conversation, and we’re getting real about the parts of entrepreneurship that people don’t always talk about. (If you missed part 1, tune in here!) From navigating unexpected challenges, changing relationships and growing teams, to learning how to make decisions when there is no clear roadmap, this conversation is such an honest look at what it takes to keep showing up as a leader. Dr. Michelle and I talk about the lessons that come from the harder moments in business, why you need the right people around you, and how to process disappointment without letting it change who you are. It is so important to take the time to feel, reflect and then move forward with more wisdom and clarity. Tune in to hear more about:  • Why entrepreneurship is a constant lesson in resilience, decision making and personal growth  • How to navigate challenging business moments without letting them harden your heart or change your values  • The importance of processing emotions, learning the lesson, and using experiences as wisdom for the future  • Why having trusted people around you is essential when you’re carrying the weight of leadership  • How becoming a stronger entrepreneur means getting better at making decisions, trusting yourself, and knowing what deserves your energy Entrepreneurship will challenge you, stretch you, and bring moments you never could have planned for. But those experiences also become the ones that shape your leadership, strengthen your intuition, and help you become the person you need to be for the next chapter. I hope this reminds you that you don’t have to navigate the highs and lows alone.

    The Permission You’ve Been Waiting For Does Not Exist

    In this episode of Inspire + Move,  I’m back with my favourite cohost Matt, as we get into what it really means to stop waiting for permission and start taking action on the things you already know you need to do. This conversation explores how growth often sits on the other side of discomfort, and why the decision to move before you feel fully ready can completely shift your momentum in business, leadership, and life. If you need that motivation today, this is IT!!! We share real-life examples from building Benchmark Fitness, launching this podcast, and stepping into new rooms like masterminds and events, where we had to act before we had all the answers. From problem-solving under pressure to navigating uncertainty in real time, this is all about learning through action and trusting yourself in the process. Tune in to hear more about:  • Why waiting for permission often delays the opportunities you’re already ready for  • How taking immediate action can turn challenges into better outcomes than originally planned  • The role of visibility and responsibility in stepping into bigger rooms and opportunities  • Why decision-making speed is a critical skill in entrepreneurship and leadership  • How consistent action builds resilience, confidence, and long-term trust in yourself This is your bold reminder that nobody is coming to give you permission. The life you want is built through action, not hesitation. Start with one step, move through the discomfort, and trust that clarity comes after movement, not before it. Need someone standing beside you, giving you guidance and cheering you on to make that first move? Send me a DM on IG at @alliarruda or check out my website to experience my 1:1 coaching!
