Hey hey, beautiful human! Today we're diving into a topic that's been holding so many of us back: waiting for motivation. If you've ever caught yourself thinking, “I just need to get motivated again,” this episode is for you. Because here's the truth: motivation is fleeting, and if you're relying on it to make progress… you'll always end up stuck in that start-stop cycle. What if you didn't need motivation at all? What I discuss: Why motivation is just a feeling—and not something you can rely on The brain science behind why we default to old habits when life gets busy How simple systems (not willpower!) are the key to real, lasting consistency Why habits are stronger than emotions—and how to make them automatic 5 practical mindset shifts to stay consistent even on the hardest days So if you're tired of waiting for the “perfect Monday” or that magical burst of inspiration… this episode is going to shift everything for you.

It's not a pause—it's a strategy. And it's one of the most powerful tools for your long-term success. What I discuss: What a maintenance phase really is—and why it's not “doing nothing” How eating at maintenance restores your metabolism, hormones, and energy Why maintenance phases are essential for muscle building, performance, and recovery The mindset shift that helped me finally break out of the “always be cutting” trap So if you're tired of chasing results that don't stick… or feeling like rest equals failure… I promise this episode is going to feel like a deep exhale.

In this bonus episode of Embrace Your Real, we're digging into a topic that trips so many of us up: hunger. Have you ever paused and thought, “Wait… am I actually hungry, or just stressed, tired, or bored?” If yes—you're not alone. Today, we're breaking down the two types of hunger you need to understand if you want to build a better relationship with food and fuel your body with intention. What I discuss: The difference between physical hunger (your body's call for fuel) and emotional hunger (your brain's call for comfort) How each one shows up in your body, and what questions to ask to tell them apart Why recognizing your hunger cues can totally change your consistency with nutrition, especially if you're macro counting This episode will help you slow down, tune in, and respond to your body from a place of trust—not reaction.

Hey hey, beautiful human! Today we're tackling a topic that I know is going to hit home for so many of you: Underecovery. What if the real reason you're constantly running on empty isn't just that you're doing too much — but that you're recovering too little? Because sister, underecovery is a real thing. And most women don't even know it's happening until their body forces them to slow down. So if you're tired of being tired… and you're ready to feel strong, energized, and in control of your body again, this one's for you. What I discuss: What underecovery actually is (and how it's different from just being tired) How it shows up in your day-to-day life and workouts The signs your body might be screaming for more recovery — not more effort Simple, real-life ways to build smarter recovery into your routine without overhauling your life If you loved this episode, you'll also love… Episode 544: The Science of Recovery. https://www.juliealedbetter.com/embrace-your-real/the-science-of-recovery If you want more from me, be sure to check out...

Hey there, beautiful human! Today, I want to take you behind the scenes and talk about what a “fit” day actually looks like. Because here's the thing… it's so easy to scroll through Instagram, TikTok, or Pinterest and get the idea that being fit means having this flawless, aesthetic life. The perfectly prepped meals. The two-hour morning routine. The seamless outfit. The color-coded snack containers. And while that might look cute on camera, let me be honest with you—it's not reality. So in today's episode, I want to debunk that “perfect day” myth and walk you through what my real days actually look like—messy moments, flexibility, and all. Because imperfection? That's not a setback. That's the strategy. What I discuss The importance of consistency on the messy, busy, real-life days to get real results. What a true “fit” day really looks like in real life. How to ditch perfectionism and focus on fueling your body well most of the time, and trusting the process over time.

Hey, hey beautiful human! Today we are diving into something I know you've seen all over your feed—fitness advice from TikTok. And listen, I love a good scroll just like the next woman. TikTok has brought a lot of awareness to fitness and nutrition, which is great… but it's also spread a lot of confusion. And honestly? Some of the most viral tips you've probably heard… are just plain wrong. So in this episode of Embrace Your Real, I want to set the record straight on three major fitness trends that TikTok has gotten totally wrong. Because I don't want you wasting time, energy, or mental stress following advice that's not actually helping you build the body you want. What I discuss: The importance of structured strength training. How Carbs can actually help with recovery and sleep. Why Spot targeting fat loss isn't a thing. Progressive overload and rest are key.

Today we're diving into a struggle I know so many of you have felt—when you're tracking your macros, lifting weights, staying consistent… and yet you feel like you're gaining weight. It's frustrating. It's confusing. And it can make you second-guess everything you're doing. In this episode of Embrace Your Real, I'm breaking down what's actually going on when this happens—and giving you clear steps to navigate it with confidence, instead of panic. Because more often than not? Your body is telling you something important—and this is not the time to throw in the towel. What I discuss: Why feeling puffy or “heavier” doesn't always mean fat gain How inflammation, water retention, and stress impact the scale and how your body feels The most common hidden reasons women feel like they're gaining, even when doing “everything right” How to know if it's time to adjust your plan—or stay the course Why trusting the process (not just the scale) is key to long-term success How to shift from reactive to empowered when this shows up in your journey if you loved this episode, you'll also love… Episode 162: How I Dealt With Gaining 40 Pounds https://www.juliealedbetter.com/embrace-your-real/how-i-dealt-with-gaining-40-pounds If you want more from me, be sure to check out...

Today we're diving into something that's been all over fitness TikTok—reverse dieting. You've probably heard people say it's the secret to healing your metabolism, fixing fat loss plateaus, or even losing weight while eating more. But is that really how it works? In this episode of Embrace Your Real, I'm breaking down what reverse dieting is really for, who it helps, and—most importantly—how to know if YOU actually need one. Because this isn't a magic trick. It's a tool. And like any tool, it only works when it's used in the right situation. What I discuss: What reverse dieting is actually meant to do (and what it's not) Five clear signs your body might need a reverse diet How to know if you just need more consistency—not more food Why you shouldn't panic when the scale fluctuates The step-by-step method to reverse diet the right way How healing your metabolism can change your results and your relationship with food If you loved this episode, you'll also love… https://www.juliealedbetter.com/embrace-your-real/are-you-undereating-without-realizing-it-5-surprising-signs If you want more from me, be sure to check out...

Today we're diving into something I've seen all over social media lately—and that's the “girl dinner” trend. If you've ever thrown some crackers, cheese, and a handful of snacks on a plate and called it dinner… this episode is for you. Because while I totally get the appeal of an easy, no-cook meal, here's the truth: if you're working hard to build muscle, increase your energy, and feel more in control of your cravings—girl dinner is not it. In this episode, I break down why this trend might be holding you back, what your body actually needs to feel nourished, and how to make simple, satisfying meals without overthinking it. What I discuss: Why “girl dinner” leads to cravings, blood sugar crashes, and fatigue The two nutrients your body is begging for—especially if you're training How to reframe food as fuel (without being rigid or “all or nothing”) What a balanced meal actually looks like My 3-step formula for building quick, satisfying meals on busy days Why wanting to nourish your body doesn't make you high-maintenance—it makes you intentional If you want more from me, be sure to check out...

Today we're diving into a mindset shift that completely changed the way I approach my workouts—and helped me stop skipping them, even on the busiest or hardest days. If you've ever told yourself, “I don't have time,” “I'm too tired,” or “It's not worth it unless I go all in,”—this episode is going to shift everything for you. Because you don't need more motivation. You don't need more guilt. You just need a new way to see movement—one rooted in self-respect, not self-punishment. What I discuss: The all-or-nothing trap that keeps women stuck and inconsistent How I redefined what “counts” as a workout (and why that changed everything) Why a short walk or 15-minute lift is enough The science behind why even 5 minutes of movement boosts your mood and brain function What actually builds consistency—and why it has nothing to do with discipline The exact question I ask myself when I don't “feel like it” If you loved this episode, you'll also love… https://www.juliealedbetter.com/embrace-your-real/3-reasons-why-you-cant-stay-consistent-what-to-do-about-it If you want more from me, be sure to check out...

Today we are talking about something that I know so many of us struggle with—whether we say it out loud or not. And that is: how we feel about ourselves when we see a photo of ourselves that we don't love. Maybe it's a group picture someone tags you in. Maybe it's a candid shot your partner took. Maybe it's even a selfie you took yourself—and instead of seeing the fun memory, the beautiful moment, or the experience you were having, your brain zooms in on that one thing you hate about how you look. “Ugh, my arms look huge.” “Why do I look so puffy?” “I didn't realize my legs looked like that.” If you've ever had a moment where a photo stole your joy… this episode is for you.

Hey, hey beautiful human! Today we're talking about something that does not get talked about enough in the fitness space… but it's one of the most important pieces of your results. And that is: recovery. I know recovery isn't as flashy or exciting as the workouts themselves. It's easy to get caught up in the mindset of “more is better”—more workouts, more intensity, more sweat. But the truth? Recovery is where the magic actually happens. Your progress doesn't happen in the workout itself—it happens in the rebuilding process after. So today we're breaking down: What recovery really is (and what it isn't) Why it's so essential for building muscle, burning fat, and staying consistent long-term The science behind how your body repairs and rebuilds What effective recovery actually looks like—and the most common mistakes I see women make Some simple action steps you can start today to improve your recovery and feel better in your body If you want more from me, be sure to check out...

Today we are talking about something I know so many of us feel on a day to day basis – and that's feeling like there's just never enough time in the day. Am I right or am I right? Between work, workouts, meals, family, errands, and a to-do list that feels like it never ends… it can feel like there's no possible way to get it all done. And listen—I've been there, too. There have absolutely been seasons where I've told myself, “If I just had a few more hours in my day, I could finally stay on top of everything.” But here's what I've learned: it's not always about how much time we have—it's about how we're using the time we do have. What I discuss: Why feeling overwhelmed by time often comes down to how we're structuring our days The simple but powerful difference between being busy and being productive How to identify where your time is actually going And most importantly—practical ideas and tips to be more mindful and intentional with your time each day If you loved this episode, you'll also love… Episode 475: Easy Ways to Add Activity to Your Busy Schedule https://www.juliealedbetter.com/embrace-your-real/easy-ways-to-add-activity-to-your-busy-schedule If you want more from me, be sure to check out...

“Julie, how do I know if I actually need to adjust my macros based on my new activity levels?” I get it. It can feel confusing to know when a change is actually needed and when you might just be overthinking it. The last thing I want is for you to feel like you're constantly chasing numbers or tweaking your macros every time you happen to have a more active week. So in this episode, we are going to break down exactly why adjusting your macros even matters in the first place—and just as importantly, when it does not make sense to adjust them.

Today's episode is inspired by a question I got from a member of the Movement with Julie community. And I love this question because I know so many of you have probably wondered the exact same thing—especially if you're newer to strength training. Someone asked me whether they should increase weight or reps because they don't always feel sore after working out. Such a good question—and we're breaking it all down today. Because there's a really common belief out there that if you're not sore after your workout, it didn't work. But here's the truth: Soreness does not equal success. What I discuss: 1. Soreness is Triggered by Novelty, Not Necessarily Effectiveness 2. Soreness Reflects Inflammation, Not Muscle Growth 3. Being Sore Doesn't Mean You're Targeting the Right Muscle Effectively 4. The Body Adapts Quickly (And That's a Good Thing!) 5. Chasing Soreness Can Lead to Overtraining, Not Progress 6. The Importance of Progressive Overload Also, don't forget to listen to: Episode 13: How Much Weight Should I be Lifting? https://www.juliealedbetter.com/embrace-your-real/how-much-weight-should-i-be-lifting And episode 68: Getting Off Your Fitness Plateau with Progressive Overload https://www.juliealedbetter.com/embrace-your-real/getting-off-your-fitness-plateau-with-progressive-overload If you want more from me, be sure to check out...

Hey friend! We need to talk about something that might be sabotaging your progress—and I'm not talking about your workouts or your nutrition. I'm talking about how you talk to yourself. We all have that inner voice, right? And for so many of us, that voice is harsh. It's critical. It says things like: “You should be further along.” “Why can't you be more disciplined?” “You're so lazy. You messed up again.” And the thing is—we think that voice is helping. We think it's keeping us in check, keeping us accountable, making sure we don't slip. But the truth? That voice might be the very thing holding you back from your goals. So in today's episode, we're diving into what the research says about self-criticism versus self-compassion. I'm going to walk you through how to practice self-reflection without spiraling into shame, and I'll give you actual scripts you can use to reframe negative self-talk the moment it shows up. What I Discuss: 1. Why beating yourself up doesn't make you more disciplined, but more discouraged. 2. What really is Self-compassion. 3. How to practice accountability without judgment by asking curious, kind questions. 4. How to change your self-talk in the moment using simple, powerful reframes.

In this episode of Embrace your Real, I'm sharing 3 things I've personally been focusing on lately that honestly have nothing to do with fitness or nutrition—but they've helped me show up stronger, more focused, and more energized in my workouts. Because here's the truth: sometimes the key to building the body you want isn't found in more workouts or more discipline... it's in building a life that supports your goals. From the inside out. Because the truth is, sometimes when you hit a plateau, the answer isn't to push harder. It's not to add more workouts, tighten your macros, or stress about your steps. Sometimes, the thing that unlocks progress is actually the least expected strategy: Cultivating more peace in your life.

Today, we are diving into a topic I haven't talked about much lately: Body Image. I know this is a topic that we need to continue to come back to time and time again as SO many of us struggle with it. And honestly, for many of us, it's something we're going to constantly have to work on and that's okay! So if you have been looking in the mirror and felt less than, if you've been picking apart your body instead of appreciating it, or if you've been thinking, “I'll feel better when I lose five pounds,” this episode is for YOU. What I discuss: The mirror is not reality – Your perception is distorted by emotions. AND you need to stop body checking. Rewrite the narrative of your “flaws” – Your body is not an object, it's an experience. Social media is warping your perception – Unfollow anything that makes you feel “less than.” Stop using your body as a before and after – You are so much more than a number on a scale. Your body is the least interesting thing about you – Who you ARE is what people truly love. If you want more from me, be sure to check out...

You know that feeling when you scroll through fitness advice online and suddenly feel like you're doing everything wrong? One person says you have to chug a protein shake right after your workout, another says you must eat carbs before training or your workout is useless, and then there's that whole debate about whether you should eat less the day after going over your macros. It's a LOT. But today, we're breaking it all down and keeping it real. Because the truth is—meal timing isn't as rigid as social media makes it seem. In this episode, we're diving into three BIG questions I know so many of you have: What I discuss: You do not need to slam protein after your workout. It's about how much protein you eat daily, not about how much you eat after working out. You do not need to fuel before workouts if you're not hungry. Listen to your body and give it what it needs. If you go over your macros, don't make it up for it the next day, just try to hit your macros tomorrow. If you don't know what your macros should be, I got you, sister.

Hey, hey! If you're a new mom, I know how much you're carrying right now. The exhaustion, the endless to-do list, the constant feeling that no matter what you do, it's never enough. But I need you to know this: prioritizing your body is not selfish—it's survival. It's not about “getting your body back” or bouncing back—it's about feeling good in your body now, so you can show up as the strongest, happiest version of yourself. So today, we're tackling five mindset shifts to overcome the guilt of prioritizing movement as a new mom. What I discuss: Your baby needs a mom who feels good—not just a mom who's physically present 24/7. You are not losing time by working out—you're buying it back with more energy, patience, and ease. Movement doesn't have to be alone time—you can integrate it into your day, guilt-free. Movement is not a reward—it's a basic need. Your body deserves it. You don't have to do it perfectly. Showing up imperfectly is still progress.
