About This Episode

In this unscripted episode, Julie breaks from her usual format to share a personal discovery about insecurity and perfectionism. After noticing herself spinning over seemingly simple issues, she realized she was struggling with feelings of not being "enough"—particularly around launching the FIERCE Sisterhood.

This vulnerability mirrors what many women in the Sisterhood are experiencing, as reflected in their daily FIERCE Accelerator sheets where thoughts like "I'm not good enough," "I'm not worthy," and "I'm not capable" keep showing up.

What You'll Learn

The Gap Between Knowing and Believing

• Why we can logically know we're enough while our bodies don't quite believe it yet
• How this creates white-knuckling and willpower instead of true transformation
• The difference between positive thinking and deep, authentic growth

Three Essential Steps to Transform "Not Enough" Thoughts

1. Explore with Curiosity - Stop long enough to investigate the discomfort, sit with the emotions, and ask what the thought needs from you
2. Pull the Thread - Trace back where these beliefs originated—ex-spouse dynamics, societal standards, past experiences—and see how they've woven through your life
3. Create Physiological Safety - Use breath and affirmation to remind your nervous system that it's safe to believe you're enough, even when old patterns resurface

Why This Work Matters Julie explains how flipping a negative thought to a positive one is just the starting point. Real transformation requires investigating the underlying sources, feeling the emotions, and integrating new beliefs into your identity so they become automatic.

Perfect For

Women who recognize they have "not enough" thoughts lurking beneath the surface, those struggling with perfectionism, and anyone ready to do the deeper work beyond positive thinking.
