How many times did you say “I’m sorry” today? If you’re like most people, it was probably more than a few, and not always for things you were actually responsible for. Over-apologizing is a habit rooted in people-pleasing, perfectionism, anxiety, and even trauma.

In this solo episode, Julie dives into:

• Why so many of us over-apologize (and where the habit comes from)
• The hidden costs of saying sorry too often at home and at work
• The link between trauma, anxiety, and “fawning” behaviors
• Four practical steps to break the cycle of unnecessary apologies
• Real-life examples to help you practice rephrasing “sorry” into strength

Whether you’re someone who says “sorry” for taking up space or you want to build healthier, more confident communication habits, this episode will give you the tools to start showing up unapologetically.

What does it take to build a rock-solid mindset, scale a business you love, and still have time for the life you want? In this inspiring conversation, Julie sits down with Carina Groombridge, engineer turned entrepreneur and coach, to explore how mindset shapes success at every level.

Carina shares her journey from the male-dominated aerospace industry to creating her own thriving coaching business. She opens up about the power of setting boundaries, learning to delegate, saying “no” without guilt, and redefining what success really means.

If you’ve ever felt stuck in hustle mode, struggled with people-pleasing, or wondered how to balance ambition with freedom, this episode will give you both the encouragement and practical tools you need.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

• How to develop a “rock-solid mindset” that helps you bounce back when things don’t go as planned.
• Why new levels in business bring familiar challenges—and how to face them differently each time.
• The biggest mental baggage entrepreneurs carry (and how to unpack it).
• Practical ways to buy back your time through delegation and boundaries.
• Carina’s quick-win exercise to identify the biggest thing holding you back right now.

What happens when a high-level coach, orthopedic expert, and new mom decides she’s done shrinking? Physically, emotionally, and professionally?

In this powerful conversation, I sit down with Daffney Allwein, founder of Lift Pro Wellness, who has spent over two decades helping elite professionals reclaim their health, energy, and boundaries. We go deep into the hidden costs of burnout, the healing power of “moving therapy,” and why your energy is the most valuable currency you have.

Daffney shares her journey from an industry that demanded smallness to building a mission-driven practice that empowers women to take up space,  unapologetically. We talk about:

• The subtle ways high achievers shrink without realizing it
• How to spot the earliest signs of burnout before it takes you out
• Why movement and conversation together can unlock profound healing
• The truth about boundaries, energy leaks, and letting go of obligatory relationships
• Her hard-earned wisdom on motherhood, IVF, and life alignment

This isn’t just a wellness conversation, it’s a call to every woman who’s been told to be “less” to claim more space, more voice, and more vitality.

What does it take to break free from the roles we were forced into and start living as our truest selves?

In this deeply moving and refreshingly honest conversation, I sit down with Inga Larson, therapist, somatic practitioner, and the creator of the Defying Gravity course. We unpack what it’s really like to grow up with emotionally immature or personality-disordered parents… and how to heal from it.

Inga shares her raw and relatable journey from feeling like a “blind gorilla” in her 20s (yes, you’ll love that visual) to finding purpose and building a life rooted in confidence, compassion, and belonging. She opens up about homelessness, family trauma, and the decades-long path to integration through theater, massage therapy, and trauma-informed mental health work.

You’ll learn:

• What emotionally immature parenting looks like and how it impacts adult children
• Why so many people feel disconnected from themselves—and how to start reconnecting
• The surprising link between confidence and somatic healing
• How “false belonging” keeps us small and what real belonging actually requires
• Tools for identifying and embracing disowned parts of ourselves
• Why grounding is the first (and often most powerful) step in the healing journey

This conversation is a balm for anyone who has ever felt like they didn’t belong, couldn’t trust their instincts, or were stuck in old patterns that no longer serve them.

What if we stopped living in the boxes the world puts us in—and started choosing our identity for ourselves?

In this powerful and soul-stirring conversation, Julie sits down with interdisciplinary artist and dialogue facilitator Sharyll Burroughs to explore the intersection of race, identity, creativity, and humanity. From reclaiming autonomy to dismantling inherited belief systems, this episode invites you to reflect on how your story is shaped—and how you can rewrite it.

Sharyll also shares the inspiration behind The Hattie Project, a four-episode podcast that brings to life the untold story of Hattie McDaniel, the first Black actress to win an Academy Award. Her take? Hattie wasn’t just a character actress she was a woman of power, vision, and deep humanity who used her privilege to uplift others.

This conversation is for you if:

• You’ve ever felt boxed in by labels or expectations
• You want to lead with curiosity instead of fear
• You’re ready to explore creativity as a path to freedom
• You’re craving more humanity-first conversations in your life and work

Topics We Explore:

• Why identity is more than gender, race, or profession
• The cost of living for approval vs. authenticity
• Creativity as a tool for healing and reinvention
• How boundaries can sometimes be fear in disguise
• The life and legacy of Hattie McDaniel beyond the Academy Award
• Why curiosity may be the antidote to division

Quote to Remember:
"I'd rather make $700 a week playing a maid than $7 a day being one." — Hattie McDaniel

In this raw and deeply personal episode, I share a story that stopped me in my tracks... being called an anti-Semite for standing up for what I believe in and for speaking up against Alligator Alcatraz. But instead of backing down, I want to lean into truth, integrity, and my own values.

This is a reflection on the legacy of a woman who embodied true confidence: the unforgettable Hat Lady. From personal heartbreak to profound life lessons about generosity, resilience, and living in alignment with your values, this episode is a timely reminder that confidence isn’t about being understood; it’s about knowing who you are.

As a life coach for women, I don't always get it right. I want to let others know it is okay to stand for what they believe. You will always have people who criticize you, attack you for your beliefs, and write you off as a crazy woman. Will it be easy? No... in the end, attacks say more about the other person than it does about you.

That is their choice. Your choice is to stay true to your values.
