Why Entrepreneurs Choose the Hard Path-  And How It Changes Everything w/ Alli Arruda

In this powerful episode, Brittany sits down with Alli Arruda for a raw and inspiring conversation about the life moments that break you open — and the ones that build you back stronger. Alli shares the story of losing a loved one in August 2004, a moment that shifted everything and pushed her into a chapter of unexpected growth, courage, and reinvention.

From leaving Winnipeg to start over in Toronto, to fighting for a spot in a competitive program, to navigating entrepreneurship during COVID when walking away would’ve been so much easier — Alli opens up about the mindset that carried her through every hurdle.

This episode is for the woman standing at a crossroads, craving a new beginning, and wondering if she’s strong enough to start. (Spoiler: she is.)

Life changes often start with loss — but they don’t end there.

Choosing the harder path is often where the deepest growth happens.

Entrepreneurship is never the easy road — but it’s the most rewarding.

Moving cities, starting new programs, and entering new chapters demands courage.

COVID tested every entrepreneur — and quitting was the easy option many took.

Resilience is a skill you build by doing the thing that scares you.

Concert Culture Has Officially Lost Its Mind — Here’s Proof | Anything But Average Mondays

In this episode, we dive into the wild, emotional, expensive, absolutely addictive world of concert culture.

We talk fan psychology, why live music feels like a spiritual awakening, and the way a single night in an arena can change your entire life. Plus: a behind-the-scenes look at the couple who became the star of the entire section — and how their love story unfolded mid-concert.

If you’re a live-music junkie, a Swiftie, a country-girl concert hopper, or someone who has ever said “I’ll never financially recover from this”… this episode is for you.

This episode explores the intense world of modern concert culture — from multi-night superfans to aisle engagements and the skyrocketing cost of tickets. Through real stories and personal reflections, we unpack why people will spend thousands for a two-hour show, how live music creates deep emotional connections, and why concerts have become the new version of “pilgrimage culture.”

It’s fun, wild, heartfelt, and a full look into the community, chaos, and magic of live shows.

Concert culture is bigger and more emotional than ever.

Fans travel, spend, and show up for multiple nights — without hesitation.

Live music creates deep emotional moments… sometimes even engagements.

Ticket prices are skyrocketing, but demand continues to rise.

Concerts build instant community and shared identity among fans.

“They were there for three nights in a row.”

“They literally got engaged in the aisle.”

“The seats? We didn’t even pay — they were GIVEN to us.”

“This is what concert culture does to people… it transforms them.”

Michelle shares her journey from salon ownership to full-time mentorship, revealing the patterns of self-sabotage, the trap of external validation, and the freedom that comes when women finally start trusting themselves.

This episode is part mindset, part strategy, and fully empowering. It’s the reminder that women can scale sustainably — without burning it all down.

Brittany and Michelle dive into the internal and external challenges women face in business, from self-sabotage to seeking validation to financial overwhelm. They explore why understanding your data and business metrics is essential for clarity, confidence, and long-term growth. Michelle’s story shows that pivoting doesn’t mean failure — it’s often the most aligned, empowering move you can make.

Pivoting doesn’t require blowing up your whole business

Tracking metrics in one place leads to smarter strategy

Financial awareness builds confidence and long-term sustainability

Success deserves to be celebrated, not minimized

Business costs and margins matter more than most women realize

Regular check-ins with your numbers protect your mental health and your business

“Stop self-sabotaging your success.”

“You need to know your data to grow.”

“You have to know your cost of goods.”

“If you don’t trust yourself, your business won’t trust you back.”

“Women minimize their wins — and it’s costing them.”

Ever found yourself at the vet swiping your card with one eye closed—just hoping the total isn’t another $3,000 surprise? You’re not alone.

In this episode, Brittany and Christina pull back the curtain on the real cost of pet ownership — the emotional love story that often comes with a hefty price tag.

Skin Deep: The Real Talk on Beauty, Aging, and Confidence | Anything But Average Mondays

In this refreshingly honest episode, Brittany and Christina dive into the world of skin treatments, self-care, and the modern perception of beauty. From micro-needling and recovery realities to the deeper conversation about aging gracefully versus chasing “natural beauty,” the duo explores what it truly means to feel confident in your own skin.

They talk openly about the pressures women face to look “effortless”, why “aggressive treatments” can sometimes deliver the best results, and how appearance impacts confidence, first impressions, and opportunities in both personal and professional settings.

This isn’t a conversation about vanity—it’s about ownership, empowerment, and redefining beauty standards on your own terms.

Key Takeaways:

Micro-needling offers quick recovery and visible results.

Sometimes aggressive treatments = better outcomes.

Self-care boosts confidence and enhances daily interactions.

Society still equates appearance with opportunity—awareness matters.

“Natural beauty” is often a myth shaped by marketing and filters.

Women deserve to feel radiant and unapologetically themselves.

Dressing well and presenting intentionally can open doors.

Confidence starts with how you care for yourself—inside and out.

Not Everything Is Falling Apart - Some Things Are Falling Into Place | The Weekly Mom Moment

In this episode, Brittany Anderson opens up about the ever-changing rhythm of life — how easy it is to stay in constant motion, and how necessary it is to pause, reflect, and reconnect.

She shares honest reflections on motherhood, shifting family dynamics, and the practice of finding beauty in life’s quieter moments. Through stories of intuition, dreams, and what she calls “glimmers,” Brittany reminds us that these small sparks are often the universe’s gentle nudges guiding us toward alignment.

This conversation invites you to slow down, listen to your inner knowing, and find balance — not in perfection, but in presence.

Rest is not a luxury — it’s a requirement for alignment.

Change often feels uncomfortable before it feels freeing.

Glimmers remind us that we are on the right path.

Dreams can serve as messages from your deeper self.

Trusting intuition strengthens your connection to self and purpose.

“Glimmers are tiny sparks of alignment.”

“Sometimes, life speeds up just to remind you to slow down.”

“The magic is never in the rush — it’s in the remembering.”
