Today is my birthday, and instead of balloons or cake, I wanted to give you a gift: a story. My story. The truth of why I do this work, why I show up for you here, and why I believe clarity can change everything.

Because there was a time I thought that if I just did all the right things, worked hard, showed up with integrity, I could make the kind of impact I longed for. But what I ran into was a system that cared more about protecting itself than doing what was right.

I experienced betrayal from peers who were afraid for their own safety. I carried moral distress, burnout, disillusionment. And in that dark season, I made a vow: never again would I be intimidated, sidelined, or silenced.

Pivot to purpose
That vow became a turning point. It shifted my mission.
I decided that I would rise—and help others rise.
I decided to use my voice—and help others find theirs.
I decided to get clear—and guide others into clarity too.

Because clarity is where it begins. When you know who you are, what you stand for, and what you’re here to bring into the world—your confidence grows, your courage strengthens, and your curiosity opens new doors.

 (the 4 C’s)
That’s the heart of what I want to share with you today:

• Clarity: knowing who you are and where you’re going.
• Confidence: trusting yourself to take the next step.
• Courage: acting even when fear is loud.
• Curiosity: staying open to growth, new ideas, and possibility.

When you have those four working together, you can’t help but move forward.

(birthday gift to listeners)
So here’s my birthday invitation to you: don’t just listen to my story—step into your own.

You can join me in my upcoming Clarity Workshop, where I’ll walk you through a simple science-backed framework to break out of overthinking and step into aligned action. If you can’t make the workshop, download the free Clarity Guide I created—it’s my gift to you today.

Because your life isn’t waiting for “someday.” The clarity you crave is available right now. And with it—you’ll rise with confidence, lead with courage, and live with curiosity.

(anchored in mission)
This is my vow, and my invitation: may you never again be silenced, sidelined, or stuck. May you rise into the extraordinary life you were created for—with clarity, confidence, courage, and curiosity.

What if the “rules” you’ve been living by are the very things keeping you stuck?

In this episode of Default to Yes, Nurse Coach and mindset mentor Juli Reynolds invites you to take an honest look at the outdated beliefs we inherit — about success, resilience, and what it takes to grow. Drawing parallels from healthcare, Juli reveals how myths like “fever is the enemy,” “you’re fine if you have no symptoms,” and “I can function on 5 hours of sleep” mirror the dogma we often carry into our personal lives.

You’ll discover why waiting for symptoms — in the body or in your life — is too costly, and how to start using both science and self-awareness to shift from assumptions to aligned action.

This episode blends neuroscience, behavior science, and real-life examples to help you see that growth isn’t about hustling harder — it’s about rewiring how you think, tracking what’s actually working, and choosing prevention over burnout.

Whether you’re navigating midlife, leading others, or just ready to stop second-guessing yourself, this conversation will help you drop the outdated rules and embrace the truth about what really drives transformation.

🧠 What You’ll Learn:

• The difference between outdated dogma and evidence-based growth
• Why prevention is more powerful than symptom management
• The truth about sleep, stress, and burnout — and what the data actually says
• How neuroplasticity proves you can change at any age
• The role of small wins, dopamine, and habit science in lasting transformation
• Why tracking your personal data (energy, sleep, mood) leads to better decisions
• Reflection questions to help you move from reaction to resilience

💡 Reflection Questions:

• Where am I still living by outdated rules?
• What beliefs have I accepted that no longer serve me?
• What is my personal data telling me — about what helps me feel alive versus what drains me?
• What would prevention look like in my emotional, mental, and spiritual life?

📣 Inspiration to Carry With You:

You don’t have to wait until something breaks to make a change.
 You can choose clarity.
 You can choose resilience.
 And you can Default to Yes — on the life you were made for.

Let's Talk About What May Be Quietly Sabotaging Your Efforts! 

In this episode, we're talking about something many high-achievers  wrestle with: growing in life — doing all the right things — but still feeling stuck in how they see themselves.

Maybe you’re nourishing your body, learning new skills, showing up in your relationships, even healing from hard things… but your self-concept hasn’t caught up. You still tell your story through the lens of failure, loss, or not-enoughness.

It’s time to change that.

We explore:

• Why so many of us measure ourselves unfairly
• How to integrate our wins into our identity
• Why growth isn't complete if your self-image doesn't evolve
• The science of negativity bias and neuroplasticity
• How to reengage with life after discouragement
• What it means to fuel your cells, focus your mind, and anchor your habits
• The impact of judgment, comparison, and gossip on your self-concept
• How to narrate your life with clarity, compassion, and courage

This episode will encourage you to stop dragging around outdated stories — and give you the tools to tell a new one. 💡

🧠 Self-Coaching Questions to Journal or Reflect On:

Use these to go deeper after the episode. Take five minutes with a pen and paper, or bring them into your next walk, quiet moment, or coaching session.

1. What am I proud of that I’ve been overlooking?
2. Who do I want to be today — and what’s one small act that aligns with that?
3. Where have I stopped giving my all — and why?
4. Am I willing to try something hard again, even after discouragement?
5. What old stories or labels am I still carrying that no longer fit?
6. Where can I shift my focus toward goodness, possibility, and truth?
7. What new story am I ready to tell about who I am?

Favorite Quotes from the Episode:

You are not who you were. And who you are becoming? She’s powerful. Don’t stop your story at the pain. Your brain follows your focus — and where attention goes, neuroplasticity grows.

Practice This Week:

Fuel your body. Focus your mind. Anchor your habits.
 These small daily actions can begin to reshape how you see yourself — not just what you do.

And when you notice judgment, comparison, or gossip creeping in?
 Pause. Shift. Redirect.
 You are narrating your story now — make it true, make it kind, make it yours.

🌟 Final Words:

You’re not behind. You’re becoming.

As you get up every day and default to
