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.

I’m not sure who made the “no white after Labor Da I’m not sure who made the “no white after Labor Day” rule, but clearly I’m disregarding 😂🤍

I’m still obsessed with this dreamy shoot at @sanysidroranch with @laurenmaevephotography 🥰

A perfect weekend escape to Paso Robles thanks to A perfect weekend escape to Paso Robles thanks to @pasoroblesinn 💕

You know I love a rooftop dinner, and @salina_rooftop did not disappoint! The pizzas were so good! 🍕 

Do you enjoy visiting Paso Robles too? It’s a little over a two-hour drive for us, but not bad at all! 🚗
