In this episode of The Sarah Centrella Show, I sit down with Alli Arruda, Founder of BENCHMARK Fitness Burlington, host of Inspire & Move Podcast, and visibility + personal brand coach for early-stage entrepreneurs who are ready to become seen, known, and paid. (watch this ep on Youtube)

Alli’s journey is anything but linear. From wardrobe stylist to PR, events and sponsorship, to certified personal trainer and gym owner, she has reinvented herself more than once. After the devastating loss of her brother just weeks before moving to Toronto, fitness became her therapy, her anchor, and ultimately the foundation for the business she would build alongside her husband. What started as healing evolved into BENCHMARK Fitness Burlington, a thriving community rooted in strength, discipline, and mindset.

We talk about what visibility really means for entrepreneurs and why hiding is often the very thing keeping talented women from the impact and income they desire. Alli shares how building a personal brand isn’t about ego, it’s about leadership, clarity, and creating a network that supports your vision. Check out her visibility accelerator.

We also dive into manifestation, the role mindset has played in her success, and the resilience required to launch and grow a business through setback after setback. Alli opens up about navigating challenges, staying anchored in belief, and choosing to keep going even when things didn’t unfold the way she planned.

This conversation is about more than business. It’s about identity, courage, reinvention, and the decision to design a life that feels aligned and full of joy.

If you are building something, dreaming bigger, or standing at the edge of your next chapter, this episode will remind you that visibility is not optional, mindset is everything, and resilience is built one decision at a time.

In this raw and unfiltered conversation, I sit down with Elise Kelly, Minneapolis mom, intuitive storyteller, and co-host of the Trust Yourself! podcast with her sister Heidi Hansen — a platform grounded in intuition, self-worth, and real talk.

Elise recently posted a viral reel detailing the daily lived reality in her city after heightened federal enforcement actions, and the impact it’s having on residents — especially families trying to feel safe and human in their own community. In this episode, we peel back the headlines and talk about what life actually feels like for moms on the ground: the fear, the grief, the resilience, and the yearning to protect children while holding space for humanity.

This conversation isn’t about politics — it’s about parenthood, community, collective stress, comming together as American's and what it means to show up for one another in times that feel inhumane. As two mothers determined to make a difference, we explore what it takes to stay grounded, connected, and hopeful in the midst of crisis — and why bringing the lens of motherhood into this conversation matters.

Tune in for a real, heartfelt dialogue between women who are living this moment, feeling it deeply, and determined to help others navigate their own fear, uncertainty, and compassion.

Today’s episode is deeply personal. I ask that you listen with an open mind and heart to the end. You can watch it here on YouTube

I’m sharing how I’m processing the recent killings in Minnesota, the grief, anger, fear, and confusion they’ve stirred, and the questions I’ve been sitting with since. This is not a political takedown, and it’s not about choosing sides. It’s an honest reflection on what it feels like to witness violence, loss of life, and the growing sense that something is deeply broken.

In this episode, I ask hard questions, the kind that don’t fit neatly into party lines. I speak to both sides of the aisle, not from ideology, but from humanity. From the shared belief that no matter our politics, tyranny, violence, and violations of basic human rights should never be normalized.

This is me thinking out loud, searching for a more grounded, open-minded way forward, one rooted in compassion, discernment, and unity rather than fear and division.

If you’ve been struggling to make sense of what’s happening, feeling torn between outrage and exhaustion, or wondering how we move forward without losing our humanity, this conversation is for you.

This episode is an invitation to slow down, stay curious, listen more deeply, and remember that our common enemy is not each other.

Welcome back! You can watch this episoide on You Tube.

Whether you’re expecting, parenting toddlers, or raising teens, this episode delivers actionable strategies and heartfelt perspective to support your journey.

Topics covered include: building family routines that work for your values, parenting with presence and clarity, creating harmony in the home, and setting intentions that help both parents and children thrive.

She is the founder of VIVIAMO, host of The Sarah Centrella Show, and author of Think It, sharing practical mindset tools she’s taught executives and high-performers for over 15 years.

In this solo episode, I’m sharing the four New Year vision-setting homework assignments I have every one of my private clients complete during this final week of the year, a process I’ve been teaching and refining for over a decade.

This episode is designed to help you intentionally close the chapter on the year you’re leaving, release what no longer serves you, and create clarity around what you’re calling in for 2026. Not through wishful thinking, but through grounded, practical mindset and vision work that creates real momentum.

I walk you step-by-step through how to write your Life Plan Story, one of the most powerful vision-setting and manifesting tools I teach. This exercise helps you move beyond goals and into identity, alignment, and direction, so you’re not just chasing outcomes, you’re becoming the version of yourself who naturally creates them.

I also break down how to create your #FutureBoard using my trademarked method, the same process I’ve taught thousands of clients to help them clarify their vision, strengthen belief, and stay emotionally connected to what they’re building.

If you want to enter 2026 feeling clear, grounded, focused, and aligned with what actually matters to you, this episode will give you the structure, prompts, and mindset tools to do exactly that.

Grab a notebook, give yourself some quiet space, and let’s do the work that sets the foundation for everything that comes next.

My 2026 Identity Releasing Ritual

In this episode, I sit down with Anniston Riekstins, bestselling author of The Universe Is Hiring, master numerologist, and host of The Anniston Riekstins Show, for a powerful conversation about the energetic undercurrent of 2025 and what it’s meant for so many of us on a personal and collective level. (watch this ep on Youtube)

Anniston breaks down 2025 from a numerology perspective and explains the collective energy that shaped this year, including why so many people experienced emotional endings, heaviness, and a sense of closure around long chapters of their lives. I share my own experience of how this “year of the snake” mirrored a deeply emotional unraveling and completion of several major areas in my life, and if you felt that darker, more introspective energy too, Anniston explains exactly why.

The good news? 2026 is the year of the horse, and everything shifts. Anniston walks us through what this new energy brings, why momentum, expansion, and forward movement return, and how to prepare yourself to align with what’s coming next.

This conversation offers clarity, validation, and hope, especially if 2025 felt intense, emotional, or transformative for you.

Anniston Riekstins is the founder of The Magnetic Woman, a best-selling author, master numerologist, and transformational guide who helps women come home to themselves.

After two decades in corporate leadership and a personal journey through burnout and self-reclamation, Anniston now blends sacred energetics with grounded strategy—showing women how to release old patterns, trust their intuition, and live in divine alignment.

Her work awakens the feminine within—so you can stop performing, start receiving, and create a life rooted in peace, purpose, and unapologetic power.

Because becoming magnetic isn’t about becoming someone new. It’s about remembering who you really are.

Episode 100 is a big one for me. Hitting this milestone feels surreal, especially because this episode is all about the trip that changed me in ways I didn’t even expect. After the most heartbreaking season of my life, I spent two months traveling solo through Europe and Morocco—celebrating my 50th birthday, grieving, healing, and reconnecting with myself.

Travel became my teacher. Every single day handed me a new lesson I didn’t even know I needed. In this episode, I’m sharing those lessons—the real ones, the messy ones, the ones that cracked me open and helped put me back together.

I talk about what happens when you stop doing the most and give yourself permission to do less. How trusting your gut gets easier when you stop letting the noise make your decisions. Why surrendering isn’t giving up—it’s opening the door for the universe to show you something better. And how storms, literal and emotional, always pass if you’re patient enough to wait them out.

I share the moments that pushed me out of my comfort zone, the strangers who reminded me to be more social and open, the places that taught me to be curious again, and why saying yes changed everything. I even share the story of how facing one of my biggest fears turned into one of the highlights of my life.

If you’re in a season where you feel stuck, lost, or ready for something new—but not sure how to move forward—this episode is for you. These lessons aren’t just about travel. They’re about life, resilience, faith, inner knowing, and what’s possible when you don’t give up too early.

Come take this journey with me.
