Episode 64: Why Being Slightly Delusional Is the Key to Success With Victoria Popoff Ardis

How do you turn a passion into a business, a movement, and a mission? 


On this episode of The Bets Life Podcast, I’m joined by Pilates instructor, long-time studio owner, and nonprofit founder, Victoria Popoff Ardis. Victoria shares how a chance career in fitness altered the rest of her life (for good), the twists and turns of owning her own Pilates studio, and her passion for building community and helping others through movement.


Victoria and I discuss the transformation of her organization, Pilates Brunch Club, into a nonprofit that supports domestic violence survivors. We also speak about women’s health, perimenopause, and our shared love of cats (certified cat ladies for life). This conversation covers entrepreneurship, hosting with intention, major life transitions, and trusting your gut and timing through every stage of reinvention.

Episode 73: Trusting Your Inner Wisdom: Reiki, Spirituality, & Self-Discovery With Caitlin Cohn 👏🏻 

On this episode of The Bets Life Podcast, I’m joined by Caitlin Cohn, certified Reiki Master and founder of Sacred Rose Healings. Caitlin shares her approach to energy healing, the connection between spirituality and psychology, and how we can cultivate a deeper relationship with ourselves through presence, intuition, and self-reflection. 🌹 

We chat about the basics of Reiki, how energy healing works, and how Caitlin experiences her energetic work with clients. Caitlin also shares how aligning with the seasons can help us honor our natural rhythms, why learning to trust our inner knowing is a lifelong practice, and the powerful lessons she’s learned from leading a local girls’ group. Plus, Caitlin opens up about her own spiritual journey, the inspiration behind her practice, and her response to skeptics. 🥰

If you’ve ever felt disconnected from yourself, struggled to slow down and listen to what your body really needs, or wondered how to strengthen your intuition, this episode is for you. Stick around after the episode for Caitlin’s guided Root, Blossom, Grow Meditation too! 🧘‍♀️
