What if I told you that you DON'T have to follow extreme diets, do extensive cardio and starve in order to have the hot summer body you want?

Today we are talking with sustainable fitness coach Patricia Poor again to share what does and doesn't work when it comes to sustainable fitness. Social media is FILLED with myths, lies, and unrealistic standards, and we are here to keep it real with you!

Let us know what you think and we hope you enjoy the episode!

Do you feel like you're ALWAYS working? Feeling like you need a break? You probably do!

This week is all about the hustle and bustle of life! We live a life of constantly being on our phones, answering emails and texts, and being available 24/7. We have very little boundaries and then we wonder why we're so burnt out!

Then again, we live in an EXPENSIVE world and we need money to survive, so no judgement. I just want to make sure you're healthy (myself included!)

In this episode you're hear about both the pros and cons of being a hustler, and learn how to be a healthy hustler in no time!

This is for all the people who are DONE listening to what other people say about THEIR bodies!

Enough is enough and it’s time we take our power back. I recently hit a low point in the world of self comparison and I knew it was going to affect my mental health. After talking it out, I knew this episode was NEEDED.

Way too many of us struggle with our body image and I want to empower you to reclaim your thoughts and to start fresh.

Take small steps every day to remind yourself just how amazing you truly are. Take time to practice self care that isn’t always on the go and slowwww downnnn.

You truly are remarkable and it’s time we stop letting the outsiders hold us to standards we never got to decide on.

I hope this episode helps you and even if you just get 1% better at it, you’re doing it and I’m proud of you ❤️

Today is all about perseverance! No matter what is going on in your life, you got this! There will always be bumps along the way and I share with you the bumps I've encountered recently in this episode, but the most important thing I want you to know is that I never gave up. I kept my eye on the prize and even though these aren't stories about winning a medal or hitting a written goal, they still matter. Life will require perseverance no matter how big or small the events are and it's better to practice in the small moments so you're better prepped for the big ones. So get ready, because I am NOT letting you slack! You got this! WE got this! Don't give up!!!!

I am soooo excited you all get to meet my dear friend Melanie Wells! She is truly an inspiration and her story will change the way you look at life and remind you that your time is precious. We are strong and deserve to LIVE our lives, not wish them away. I love her story and I know you will too!

The awesome thing about social media is how it connects us with someone many people who have so much knowledge to share with us, but the unfortunate thing is social media can be a place where a lot of people can say they know something, but they’re not experts like they say.

Soooo... Hi! I’m Julie and I’m a certified personal trainer, nutrition coach and women’s fitness specialist, and I can promise you that as a fitness professional there is NO perfect workout.

Every day is different, every body is different, our moods can be different, our hormones are different (ladies- I’ve got a whollleeee episode on that coming soon!) and there is simply no workout that you should do the exact same way every day unless it’s walking.

Studies show that no matter if the exact same person does the exact same workout as someone else, we are probably not going to have the same results.

So what should you do if you don’t know where to start or what to do?

In this episode, I walk you through step by step how to figure out what you like and what’s going to work from you, and how to create a balanced schedule based on your wants and needs.

Check out the episode and let me know what you think! ☺️

The best you can do looks different every day. Your wants and needs change everyday too. The best way to take care of yourself is to meet yourself where you’re at 🤍

This week’s episode is all about understanding yourself and doing what’s best for you. Plus you can hear my roller coaster story of house hunting to show you how much I needed this episode too.

1. Listen to your body
2. Understand your emotions
3. Ask yourself- now what do I need?

Listen up to hear how you can apply this to your life and meet yourself where you're at right now.

I think this is one of the most important episodes I have ever recorded...

If you struggle with body image, the way you talk to yourself, or you criticize yourself when you look in the mirror... you NEED this episode. I've been there. I still deal with the negative talk and the self doubt, the feelings of unworthiness and letting comparison steal my joy in the present. It's not how I want to live my life anymore, and I know you don't want to either.

In this episode, we unpack The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill's 10 Ways to Love Your Body article and deep dive into all 10 ways together. One step at a time. Your homework is to pick one of the ways and implement it for a week. Then, pick a new one, and so on. Step by step, your body will thank you. You will begin to heal, and you will LIVE in your body the way you were meant to. I want this more than anything for you and I hope you all love this episode as much as I do.
