Hi friends! This episode is a tad different. Forrest and I lost our 2 year old baby puppy and have been experiencing deep grief and also have seen beauty in the pain and feel HOPE. The first 12 minutes I talk about the pain of loss and grief in hope my realness will help someone else feel less alone. If that's too sad, fast forward to minute 15 where I talk more about the BEAUTY and HOPE!   How to Help Someone Grieving: 1. Let them know you are thinking of them 2. If physically able to see them, just be present with them 3. Show up and/or check in again. Grief is a long and painful journey. Your continued care means a lot. 4. NEVER JUDGE! Everyone grieves differently. Just love on them.   GOLDEN NUGGET last 5 minutes: BE KIND! YOU TRULY NEVER KNOW WHAT SOMEONE IS GOING THROUGH! Don't go too fast or you miss the opportunity to care for someone.   SUBSCRIBE TO MONTHLY NEWSLETTER FOR FREEDOM UPDATES + EVENTS   Please message on instagram @soulfuljuls if this connected with you at all.

At the start of this podcast I introduce my book club and then must have not attached the details I recorded at the end- sorry about that! My book club starts Monday August 8! E-mail soulfuljuls@gmail.com or instagram DM me if you want to read "Breaking Free of Body Shame" by Jess Connolly with me. From there we can have a group text or FB group to talk about it together and simply create a loving and open conversation on this subject. Click the book to read more about it to see if you're interested!   Episode 29: A heartfelt message about body image. A subject most of us struggle with. During this finite life we put SO much pressure on how our outer shell looks. But, our outer shell is fleeting. It is temporary. Eventually it gets buried and our soul leaves us.   So think about it this way, if our sweet and precious INNER MOST, light and love, core of our being, our soul, lives on and our outer shell does not. Why don't we spend more of our time and energy focusing on being beautiful & healthy on the inside?   Let us start a revolution in body image that shifts the emphasis from being so heavy on the outer shell and becomes on inner health which then impacts outer ENERGY.   People won't remember your 6 pack, they will remember how you made them FEEL.   We are our worst critics. I wish you could see yourself the way I see you! YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL, my sweet sisters & brothers!   Please message me if this podcast impacted, connected, or inspired you in any way... my favorite thing about recording these is Y'ALL!   Love to know you. Grateful you are listening, Juls

We all fall. The difference between the people you admire and the people you don't is that they got up again & again & again. They are still in the arena.

5 minute meditation just for you. 5 minutes to catch your breath, create more breath, let the chaos settle, and simply EXHALE. Sometimes life feels like a shaken up snowglobe. We can't see anything, stuck in our globe of problems, or we can't catch our breath. My hope is that these 5 minutes help slow you down, re-center your spirit, and let the snow settle. Sometimes we don't need words, just breath. Here to breathe WITH you.   More meditations on my YouTube channel   Love, Juls

Welcome back to hearing more from my Soulful Story guest, Jamie Cembrola! Jamie is an Integrative Nutrition Coach, Certified Weight Loss and Fitness Nutrition Specialist and former “dieter"   Episode 25 is 30 minutes long hearing Jamie's story through yo-yo dieting and exercising. Our stories are so powerful and create connection to help us feel less alone. I hope you could connect with Jamie as she courageously shared her story.   In today's episode, part 2 with Jamie, we explore her 4 philosophies for living a healthy & FREE life to finally start feeling like your best self.   I love these words by Jamie, "I want to help others like myself break the dieting cycle forever. I want to help them stop depriving themselves and start filling themselves up. To stop counting, punishing, overthinking, obsessing and feeling guilty and to start feeling, celebrating, enjoying, simplifying and bringing more onto their plates — and life. I want to help people stop dieting and start eating in a way that makes them feel good. Because when you feel good, you do good. And when you do good, you break the unhealthy habits that can lead to weight gain, depression/anxiety, guilt, unhealthy obsessions, digestive disorders, skin issues, sleep disruptions and more. Let me teach you how to eat."   To ask questions, connect, and/or work with Jamie her instagram is @conveniently_healthy   Discover + read more on her website click here   Schedule a FREE 30 minute coaching call click here   Download her FREE "Lose Weight Without Dieting Guide" click here   Love, Juls

For Part 1 of breaking the yo-yo dieting cycle I have guest Jamie Cembrola from @conveniently_healthy to share her Soulful Story. Jamie is a certified Integrative Health Coach, Weight Loss Specialist, Personal Trainer, and more. Like most of us, she has struggled with trying all the fad diets and trends, pressure to restrict herself, and do intense workouts for over 10 years.   Through pregnancy Jamie finally decided to STOP the pressure she would put on herself through diet and exercise and START listening to her body.   Part 1 with Jamie is her story. Our stories are so powerful and create connection to help us feel less alone. Our hope is that through Jamie's vulnerability she can connect with one person. If that person is you, please reach out and let us know.    In part 2 with Jamie we explore her 4 Philosophies for living a healthy & FREE life to finally start feeling like your best self.

In episode 24, Juls is discussing the chains of our past that hold us down from living our present.   We have to move forward. We have to let go of the past and stop dying with what is behind us. Breaking free is HARD, it is not easy. These chains are heavy and it takes strength to get them off. It takes work.   Juls provides her listeners with 3 steps / journaling + visualizing prompts to help us do the work to move forward and break free.   "You are not your past. You are not defined by your past. You are who you choose to be today. You are who you choose to become." -Juls   "Let go of your past, accept your present, and create your future." - Mindset Creator   If this podcast episode hit home for you, please send it to one person you think could use this mind & soul refresher.

Happy Father's Day to all! I am so excited to have my own father on the show! We had so much fun recording this together, as you will hear with all our laughter! Throughout my life, my dad has told me gold nuggets of wisdom that I always find myself repeating or passing on to my friends. He is very wise and offers great advice I think the world could benefit from. I hope you enjoy hearing from my wise, goofy, and awesome DAD.   For almost 40 years, my dad has been a business lawyer advising companies of all size, as well as many not-for-profit and civic organizations. He also taught at Georgetown Law School for over 10 years. I understand he tells law students to treat their families as if they are his most important client, and know that he cherishes the time he spent supporting, coaching, and having fun + annoying me, my brother, and two sisters. He tells me that he is happy to help & annoy others too. Just another bad dad joke :)   Hope you love this episode as much as me! Reach out to me on Instagram @soulfuljuls if you will be pocketing any of my dads wisdom and which is your favorite! Can't wait to hear from you!!   Connect with Mark through LINKED IN E-mail Mark mpoerio@yahoo.com   LOVE YOU! Juls

"Fear is a good enough reason to do anything. Everything you want is on the other side of fear. We can do hard things whether we fear them or not." -Sara Vavrina   Topics we discuss: - Social Life: how to make new friends & put yourself out there. - Academics: is there a balance between school & fun? - Dating: how do you date in college?  - Self Worth: WE GOTTA KNOW THIS.   Sara Vavrina is a recent graduate of Auburn University. Since she is fresh our of her college years I thought she would be perfect to bring on the show to hear her perspective on college and provide advice to those just entering or in the midst of the beautiful mess.

This episode is made as something you can listen to over and over. It is a little reminder! We all need a reminder and nudge once in awhile when we are having off or heavy days, feeling uncertain, overwhelmed with doubt, or just can't get out of a funk. I hope this reminder helps you to focus on the things that matter and can make you feel a little better.   Remember, you are never alone.   Always here for you! Please send this to a friend, coworker, or your crush incase they need a reminder too. Lets keep spreading love!   When I am feeling off, it helps me to get out of my head and into my body. Here is a link to my YouTube Channel so you can move that energy around a little bit! 5-60 minute videos for you :) https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCUxjM1JsSNn_QMwN821rx6A   With love, Juls

Think of a view you have that you have labeled right. Or better than someone else... have one?   That is your ego. The dictionary definition of ego is, "a person's sense of self-esteem or self-importance."   Listen to this podcast to learn more about your egotistical ways of living and how to shed that way of thinking and open yourself up to love.   Get curious over judgmental!   IG https://www.instagram.com/soulfuljuls/   SUBSCRIBE TO NEWSLETTER/ BOOK A CLASS/LEARN MORE https://www.soulfuljuls.com/   Soulful Yoga, Sculpt, & Stillness on my Youtube Channel https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCUxjM1JsSNn_QMwN821rx6A   Love to love you!

As I ordered my Starbucks coffee one early morning and the barista was extra kind to me, this thought dawned on me, "what an important job she has! she started my whole day!" We all are needed. We all make the world go around. No one is better. No one is worse.   Lets try to see the good in people today. Deep down most people are good.   Book suggestion: "The Magic of Thinking Book" by David J.
