Mindset Mastery with Julissa Edwards

What if the next level of your life doesn't require adding anything at all? In this Season 3 finale, Julissa shares why the more she grows, the more she simplifies, and why she's choosing discernment over doing more.

Julissa opens up about condensing her business, stepping back from social media and the podcast for a season, and measuring success by how she feels instead of how much she builds. If you're at a crossroads or need permission to slow down, this one is for you.

Talked about in this episode:

• Evolution, not burnout: simplifying on purpose
• Taking a 90 to 120 day break from posting
• Redefining success: freedom, presence, discernment, space
• Choosing from groundedness, not scarcity or fear

Everyone is talking about GLP-1s, and most of what we hear comes from TikTok headlines, fear-mongering, or "it's the easy way out." Julissa sits down with her longtime friend Dr. Danielle DonDiego, a double board-certified family and obesity medicine physician, to get the real answers patients want. Together they cut through decades of diet culture to talk about what these medications actually do.

Danielle explains how GLP-1s work on hunger and satiety, what the pricing looks like now, who should be cautious, and why a prescription without proper care is a problem. It's an honest, all-sides conversation for anyone who's curious about this topic.

Talked about in this episode:

• Diet culture, SlimFast, and the "personal failure" feeling
• The "cheating" stigma and 20 years of GLP-1 research
• Semaglutide vs. tirzepatide, and what's coming with retatrutide
• Food noise: when the fullness switch doesn't flip
• Getting a prescription vs. getting real care
• Who isn't a good candidate for GLP-1s

Julissa sits down with Ashley Dorado, a dental hygienist turned myofunctional therapist, to unpack how the muscles of the head, neck, and jaw quietly run the show for sleep, breathing, behavior, and even bed-wetting. Ashley traces her own undiagnosed tongue tie back through decades of clenching, anxiety, and a nervous system stuck in overdrive, and explains what changed the day she finally got it released.

Julissa and Ashley also get personal about burnout, business ownership, and what it looks like to lead from lived experience instead of just knowing the theory.

Talked about in this episode:

• What myofunctional therapy actually is: "physical therapy for the head, neck, and jaws"
• Ashley's own undiagnosed tongue tie, discovered at 40 and released a year ago
• How mouth breathing at night connects to bed-wetting and waking up to pee
• The fascia line running from your tongue down to your toes, and its link to the pelvic floor
• Signs a tongue tie could be behind snoring, clenching, ADHD-like behavior, or picky eating
• The four daily pillars: tongue up, teeth apart, nasal breathing, lip seal

Julissa sits down with trauma-informed breathwork facilitator Kyra Thompson, who walked away from a corporate career, sold everything she owned, and moved across the world to Bali, only to find, in her first breathwork class, that safety was something she could create inside her own body. 

From there the conversation goes deep: what it actually means to listen to your body, why disease might just be stored energy looking for release, and why doing all the right practices doesn't mean the hard feelings disappear.

Julissa and Kyra get honest about the "waiting period" of healing (the space between doing the work and seeing it pay off) and how entrepreneurship keeps mirroring back their own scarcity and self-worth wounds. 

Julissa also opens up about her own grounding practices, perimenopause, and the very unglamorous, very human reality behind the calm voice her clients know her for.

Talked about in this episode:

• Kyra's path from college athlete to burnt-out corporate job to selling everything and moving to Bali
• Why disease might just be stored energy trapped in the body
• The "waiting period" between doing the inner work and actually feeling different
• Where anxiety, responsibility, and unworthiness physically show up in the body
• Julissa's rule for when it's ethical to bring spiritual/somatic work to a client in crisis

Julissa sits down in person for the first time with her friend and neighbor Marly Viviana (a Colombian immigrant, former police officer and nurse, now a Charleston wedding and elopement photographer) for a conversation about what happens when the identity you built your whole life around disappears. 

It's raw, funny, and full of the kind of overlap that only happens between two women who've both learned to jump without a plan.

They trace Marly's path through the military, law enforcement, nursing school with a six-week-old on stage, and now photography, unpacking why leaving a career doesn't mean losing yourself and how turning 40 gave Marly permission to stop performing and start trusting herself.

Talked about in this episode:

• Leaving the police force and losing (then rebuilding) her sense of identity
• Graduating nursing school with a six-week-old baby
• The immigrant pressure of "you can't slack" across generations
• Turning 40 as what Marly calls a "magical spark" of freedom
• The dopamine crash after pouring everything into a big creative launch or event

Julissa sits down with entrepreneur Tricia Keightley for a conversation that goes straight to identity: why 95% of what we do runs on autopilot, and how some of us get subconsciously addicted to chaos even when we say we want peace. 

Tricia opens up about growing up in a volatile home, the divorce that kicked off her healing journey, and how "not being enough" gets wired into us before we can even talk.

It's a rich, wide-ranging conversation about identity, ancestry, and what it actually takes to break a generational pattern.

Talked about in this episode:

• The iceberg model of the subconscious: 95% autopilot, 5% conscious choice
• Why some of us get "addicted" to chaos and roller coaster relationships
• Life coaching vs. therapy: knowing when someone isn't ready for identity work
• Why affirmations only work when your body believes them
• The power of admitting the bad before it gets good
• Building AI with a moral code foundation

In the final episode of the MMM series, Julissa sits down with client Larissa, who joined the program feeling stuck, resentful, and convinced her life was simply happening to her. Six months, a surprise pregnancy, a family health scare, and a major work upheaval later, Larissa shares what actually shifted, and it wasn't her circumstances.

Julissa and Larissa unpack how tools as simple as box breathing and boundaries can restructure an entire nervous system, why accepting help felt harder than doing it all alone, and how the hardest season of Larissa's life became proof the work was already paying off. It's a raw, honest look at what transformation really costs; and what it gives back.

Talked about in this episode:

• Going from victim mentality to "I'm not stuck, it's my approach"
• Boundaries as the biggest single takeaway from MMM
• Reframing a triggering moment
• Box breathing and learning to locate emotion in the body
• Why the hardest six months of her life proved she needed the program most
• The unexpected power of healing through her cohort's stories, not just her own

Julissa sits down with Angie Spinelli, a Charleston-based fitness professional of over 23 years, to talk about what it really means to rebuild a career and a body in a new season of life.

They cover the phases every woman moves through, prenatal, postpartum, perimenopause, menopause, and why "movement is medicine" isn't just a slogan but a daily practice of strength, stillness, and self-trust. Along the way: yoga as a spiritual practice, the myth that exercise is only about weight loss, and why "power in the pause" might be the most important lesson of all.

Talked about in this episode:

• Getting laid off after 21 years when the gym was bought out
• Yoga as "a journey to the self through the self," not just stretching
• The power in the pause: using breath work to calm the nervous system
• Strength training and lifting heavy weights as women age
• Reframing menopause and perimenopause as a season with real positives
• Why "I hate exercise, will I still lose weight?" is the wrong question entirely

When Meredith got laid off from her government contract job in January, she expected fear. Instead she got clarity, and the push to go all-in on the two businesses she'd been building on the side for years. In this conversation, Julissa sits down with the entrepreneur behind Lowcountry Party Mom and Charleston Bachelorette to talk about what happens when the safety net disappears.

They dig into ADHD as a business superpower, the mindset lessons Meredith carried out of her MLM years, and why burnout is often a pricing problem in disguise. It's a candid look at faith, scarcity, and what it actually takes to bet on yourself once the paycheck stops showing up.

Talked about in this episode:

• Getting laid off in January and going all-in on two businesses
• ADHD as a superpower, not a diagnosis to manage
• Keeping personal and business finances completely separate
• What the MLM years taught her about marketing and comparison traps
• Burnout as a signal to raise your prices, not push harder
• Leaning on faith when the corporate safety net disappears
