Welcome to The Rocky Road! On this podcast I will be discussing many different topics mainly referring to the learning process of trying to become the best version of myself. We are all growing and learning each day that goes by. So I figured I would share my own thoughts while I try and process them in hopes that maybe some of it could resonate with you as well. We're all just trying our best out here in the world, lets figure this whole life thing out together. Are you in?
I know we've all heard that quote “there's never a right time to start” well, I disagree. I think that there is a perfect time to start and the perfect time to start is right now, and the first step is making a decision. Life is constantly throwing curveballs at us and because of that we put things on the back burner for far too long and usually, the things that we put on the back burner are exactly the things that we should be having at the forefront of our goals on a daily basis. I personally have spent many years neglecting certain things and decisions and on this episode, I attempt to peel back the layers on why it is that we may do this and brainstorm on new ways of thinking so that we can move forward and prioritize what is most important to us.
Why do we fear failure so much? There are so many different layers to failure and in this episode I break down my experience with failure and why I feel failure is actually one of the best things that can happen to us.
In todays mini episode, I talk about how important it is to set healthy boundaries in our relationships. For us empaths, it can be really difficult to do this. However, in order to live a healthy life, it must be done.
Hi hi! In this episode I talk about how becoming more selfish is one of the best things you can do for yourself. I think a lot of us feel guilty for needing to take care of ourselves but there is no reason for that. Sometimes there are going to be periods of our lives where we are going to need to be a little more selfish with our time and energy and there is nothing wrong with that. You are not a bad person for needing time to prioritize yourself. I've struggled with this my whole life and I hope some of what we cover in this episode helps you if you are struggling with this too. ily xoxo
Hi hi! Long time no see, I'm so excited to be back! I had to take some time off and brain storm on the direction I wanted to take the Podcast.

Hi there! I've been doing a lot of unlearning lately. Unlearning all of these fake rules that we are taught through our childhood. All of the "you need to do it this way" or "act like this and you will be successful" kind of statements. There are a lot of ideals that are shoved down our throats the majority of our lives and I feel its so important to take a step back from everyone and everything and get real with yourself, figure out who you truly are and what it is that you really want out of this life. Thanks for taking the time to listen to me try to make sense of this chapter of my journey. We are in this together! xo
Hello hello! Long time no see :) I am so excited to be back, I had to take some time off due to a few personal things and during that time there was a lot of hard moments where I felt stuck in a rut. Through out it all I had to figure out what works for me and what doesn't. So I thought I would share 10 things that I found really did help me heal and push forward. Hopefully some of this resonates with you as well! Much love always - Julia xx
Hi guys, I am sorry for the delay in posting. I recored this episode two weeks ago. The last two weeks have been a hell of a ride, I wasn't feeling great at all physically and mentally so I took the time off that I needed and I am happy to say that as I am posting this, I am feeling so much better. In this episode I talk about the benefits of taking time to TRULY rest. And when I say rest, I mean resting without feeling guilty or bad for it. You deserve to rest and take care of yourself, and take all the time you need. Thank you for all your support. Love y'all. (Also I am sorry for how many times I said “like” lol )
In this episode I talk about how damaging comparing yourself to others can be and how I feel social media plays a huge role in how often we do this.
I've been doing a lot of reflecting lately and there is so much that I know now that I wish my teenage self would've known. Knowing these things would've saved me a whole lot of stress and heartbreak. I made a list of 10 things I wish I could've told my teenage self and figured I would share it in hopes that it may help or resonate with you. If you have a younger sibling or friend who is struggling in their teenage years, share this with them! I hope it can help.
Setting boundaries with people is healthy and necessary to maintain balance in life. However, it's not always such an easy thing to do. In this episode I talk about the importance of setting healthy boundaries and tips on how to go about it.
