30 DAY GIVEAWAY (Closes Wed July 22nd at Midnight)

Summary

In this episode, we explore the nuanced relationship between desire, subconscious patterns, and behavior change, especially in health and fitness. Julz unpacks why motivation alone isn't enough and how understanding your nervous system and identity can lead to lasting transformation.

Is there an area of your life right now where you keep telling yourself you want something but your actions consistently say otherwise? What is that gap actually about?

What are you currently sacrificing by staying comfortable? Not what are you giving up by making the hard choice. What are you giving up by not making it?

Are you primarily motivated by moving away from pain or toward a desired result? What would it look like to build a clearer and more compelling vision of where you are going?

What is the opportunity cost of staying exactly where you are for another six months? Another year?

And finally, if the version of yourself you are trying to become was watching your choices this week, what would she think? And what would she do differently?
