    Jan 18 2026

    Decision fatigue is one of the most overlooked causes of stress, inconsistency, and self-doubt.

    In this episode of Brave Moves, Julie explores the science behind decision fatigue and why constantly re-deciding the same things drains confidence and energy. This conversation breaks down how deciding once reduces cognitive load, supports your nervous system, and creates more mental clarity and follow-through.

    You’ll learn how predictability builds confidence, why fewer decisions lead to better decisions, and how to use the “decide once” principle to eliminate daily overwhelm.

    If you stay until the end, you’ll hear a personal example of how deciding once transformed daily energy and momentum.

  • Boundaries Are Energy Management: Why Protecting Your Energy Builds Confidence
    Jan 17 2026

    In this episode of Brave Moves, I address the overwhelming feeling many experience in their busy lives and emphasize the importance of setting boundaries as a means of managing energy. I share how true confidence stems from living in alignment with one's values and goals, and that saying 'yes' to commitments that drain energy can lead to a loss of inner power. I introduce the 'pause protocol' to help you avoid automatic agreements that may not serve your best interests. By taking a moment to assess capacity before responding, individuals can protect energy and enhance confidence.

    Throughout the episode, you get practical tips for setting boundaries, including using bridge phrases to delay responses and ensure commitments align with personal goals. I want listeners to view boundary-setting not as confrontation, but as an act of self-leadership that ultimately leads to greater focus and strength in pursuing what truly matters. By the end of the episode, listeners are equipped with actionable strategies to reclaim their energy and boost their confidence through mindful decision-making.

    Takeaways

    Boundaries are the ultimate form of energy management.
    True confidence comes from living in alignment with your values.
    Saying 'yes' without checking your capacity can drain your energy.
    Using the pause protocol helps protect your energy.
    Setting boundaries is an act of self-leadership.

  • Why Motivation Is Overrated: What Actually Gets You to Move
    Jan 16 2026

    Motivation is often treated as the starting point for change, but science tells a different story.

    In this episode of Brave Moves, Julie breaks down why motivation is unreliable, inconsistent, and often misunderstood. Drawing on neuroscience and behavioral science, this conversation explains why action creates motivation, not the other way around.

    You’ll learn why waiting to feel motivated keeps you stuck, what initiation energy really is, and how small, structured actions work with your brain instead of against it. This episode offers a grounded, practical reframe for anyone who feels frustrated with themselves for not feeling “motivated enough.”

    If you stay until the end, you’ll hear a powerful shift that helps you take action even when motivation is completely absent.

    This episode is for you if:

    • You feel stuck waiting for motivation
    • You judge yourself for lacking drive
    • You want science-backed strategies for momentum
    • You’re ready to take action without hype or burnout

    What You’ll Learn in This Episode

    • Why motivation is a result of action, not a prerequisite
    • How dopamine and reward pathways actually work
    • What initiation energy is and why it matters
    • Why systems outperform motivation
    • How to start even when motivation is low
