Embrace Your Real

Fall is here! And I know with all the fall treats and the holidays approaching, it causes many of you to experience some major anxiety. You either feel like it's going to be impossible to stay on track and reach your goals, or impossible to stay on track and maintain your goals. So, what's your plan for navigating your anxiety this year? That's exactly what I want to dive into in this bonus episode of Embrace Your Real. Willpower obviously isn't working for us, so let's work on figuring out a NEW plan that allows us to get rid of our food fear!

Are you going to try macro counting this year? Woohoo!

Check out my Macro Counting Made Simple Online Academy here and let's do it together!

When put our head on our pillow at night, we always feel like there was more we needed to do and we didn't get enough done. We could have done more at work, we could have done more with our kids, we could have done more in our workouts, we could have done more around the house, we could have done more, more, more, more.

And aside from all of that, we also feel like what we have isn't enough–our wardrobe isn't trendy enough, our house isn't big enough, our car isn't nice enough, our job doesn't pay us enough, and the list just goes on and on.

Most of us are living our lives believing what we have isn't enough, what we do isn't enough, and who we are isn't enough.

When will enough ever be enough? Or will we live our entire lives never feeling like any of it is enough?

We need to break this mentality, sister. And in this episode of Embrace Your Real, I'm going to tell you how.

What's more important: the life you want to live or your negative thought patterns? Sister, life is SHORT. So why do we allow our insecurities to stop us from living the life we actually want to live? We allow our insecurities about our looks and abilities to hold us back from living our best life. And to me, it just doesn't make sense. In this episode of Embrace Your Real, I'm going to chat with you about whether or not your insecurities are really worth it. Are they worth your time? Are they worth your energy? Are they worth holding you back from accomplishing everything you want to accomplish? And, are they worth holding you back from living your best life? Tune in to find out!

Do you go through periods where you just feel off? May you don't feel energized, or you don't feel motivated, or you don't feel confident? I know I do! And in most cases, I have found the reason why I feel off is because there are things that are off within my life. Our mental health is way more connected to our small daily habits and choices than many of us may realize.

So if you're feeling off, in this episode of Embrace Your Real, I share the ten things on my mental health checklist that help me feel like me again. And I know when you start ticking these ten things off, you'll start feeling like YOU again, too.

Episode 61: Is Social Media Helping You or Hurting You?

Is your social media feed making you feel better or worse about yourself and your life? And more importantly, is your social media feed empowering and inspiring you to become the person you want to be, or is it distracting you from becoming who you want to be?

Social media is powerful and we need to ensure we are using it in a healthy and productive way.

That's why in this episode of Embrace Your Real, I dive into why we need to be careful with the images we are allowing to fill our feeds, and how to build a feed that helps you grow in the direction you want to go.

And be sure to follow me on the 'gram, @juliealedbetter.

We hear things all the time like "nourish your body", "eat a balanced diet", or simply "eat healthier", but what do those things actually mean? What does it look like to nourish your body? And how do you eat both healthier and balanced? With all the information being tossed around, and much of it being quick-fix, fad dieting solutions, I want to break down what it actually looks like to nourish your body with what it needs. This episode of Embrace Your Real will ensure you are reaching your goals in a healthy and sustainable way, because you know that's what I'm all about!

Each day I give you some real talk on honoring your body and embracing your true, authentic self!

Every person and every body is different, which means the foods that work best for me are not necessarily the foods that will work best for you. While beans and cauliflower make me feel bloated, and rice and pita chips give me energy, this may be the total opposite for you. This is why you should never follow what other people are eating and instead figure out what works best for your body and your goals. In this episode of Embrace Your Real, I empower you on how to determine which foods are working for you and making you feel your best, and which ones are working against you and taking you further from your goals.

Everyone thinks they want the perfect body. They think once they get there, they will finally be more beautiful, be more liked, be more valued. And they think they will finally feel happier, more confident, more worthy. They think their entire world will flip upside down for the better if they're just able to build the "perfect" body. In this episode, I chat with you about why that couldn't be further from the truth. Going from being a pro fitness competitor to becoming an honoring your body advocate, I'm speaking 100% from my experience. And I hope that my experience will show you that it's not all that it's cracked up to be.
