Once driven by the need to conquer and compete, Juliana’s obsession with fitness was a daily grind—one that left little room for celebration or self-compassion. It wasn’t until a knee injury and a gut issue forced her to rethink her approach that she discovered a more harmonious way to care for herself.

In this episode you’ll hear about challenges of breaking free from a hustle mentality and the impact of our upbringing on beliefs about productivity and self-worth. Juliana reflects on how deeply ingrained patterns of relentless effort and the fear of stillness shaped her earlier years and how embracing a slower pace has led to a richer, more fulfilling life.

The episode also explores the shadow side of hustle culture, revealing how society often equates worth with constant achievement and productivity. Juliana contrasts this with the Sovereign archetype—one who leads from a place of inner authority and alignment rather than fear and lack. This shift from the hustler mentality to a state of inner peace and abundance represents a radical rethinking of what it means to thrive.

Juliana’s journey to finding balance involves not just changing her schedule but transforming her entire mindset, starting from clarifying moments that led her to lean further into her heart’s message. She discusses how moving from a place of scarcity to one of abundance allowed her to fully appreciate the present moment and experience genuine peace.

Tune in to hear Juliana’s inspiring story and discover how slowing down and embracing stillness can lead to a deeper connection with yourself and a more meaningful life.
