Hey, beautiful souls! Welcome back to Restored, or should I say Restored 2.0. I’ve evolved, and this podcast is evolving with me, and it’s found a new raison d’etre: to be your grounded guide on this journey of healing, intuition, purpose, and authenticity that most of us are on.

I'm Giules, your mystical guide and fellow seeker of soulful living. 5 years ago, I had an epiphany. Life isn't about speed; it's about savoring the journey, one mindful step at a time.

On Restored, we're ditching the fast lane for the scenic route. I’m here to be your cosmic sidekick and to guide you on this path of self-discovery, so you can tap into your intuition, unearth your purpose, and craft a life that's not just good – it's ridiculously soul-nourishing. We dive into mindful living, personal growth, intentional rituals and holistic well-being, and real life advice, but with a side of mystical vibes. 

So, grab your go-to herbal tea, light your favorite candle, cozy up in your comfiest nook, and hit play, because we're about to spill the secrets of wisdom that flow when you slow down and truly listen… Shall we?

In this soothing and reflective episode, join us for a transformative guided meditation that invites you to explore the themes of autumn, the changing of the seasons, and the essence of Libra season. Led by your host and guide, Giules, this meditation takes you on a contemplative journey to cultivate harmony in your life, embrace the art of slowing down, and honor your unique seasons of growth.

As the leaves turn brilliant shades of red and gold, autumn serves as a reminder of the beauty in change. Through this meditation, you'll connect with the wisdom of the season, allowing it to inspire your own personal transformation.

Libra season, characterized by balance and harmony, guides us to evaluate our relationships, values, and sense of justice. You'll discover how to harness the energy of Libra to create equilibrium in your life.

Listen to this episode if you want to: 

• Release the need for constant movement, and find stillness as an integral part of your personal growth journey
• Connect to the wisdom of nature and the autumn season energy
• Honor your own inner seasons, checking in with what you truly need
• Nurture a sense of harmony that resonates deeply within

We hope this feels as restorative as a gentle breeze on a sunny autumn day, wrapped up in a cosy blanket and sipping on your favorite drink. 

Until next time, may you find peace, balance, and harmony in all that you do.

In this thoughtful episode of Restored, join your host Giules on a journey into the world of entrepreneurship, self-discovery, and the art of taking a break. As we find ourselves in the beautiful season of Libra, a time dedicated to seeking balance and beauty in life, Giules shares a deeply personal experience of taking a step back from her own business to embrace the power of pause.

We explore the often-overlooked concept of taking a break in the fast-paced, goal-driven world of entrepreneurship. Giules candidly discusses the importance of normalizing breaks, acknowledging that confusion is a natural part of the entrepreneurial journey, and recognizing that sometimes, scrapping something is essential to make space for something new.

Through personal anecdotes and insights, Giules sheds light on why taking a break is not a sign of weakness but a courageous act of self-care. She delves into the transformative potential of stepping away from the hustle and bustle to gain clarity, perspective, and a renewed sense of purpose and shares tips on how to navigate this crucial phase with grace, including setting boundaries, using the break wisely for self-reflection and self-care, and seeking support from trusted allies.

Feeling is at the core of every purchase. People buy from people. Humans are driven by emotions and a brand that can appeal to that is a brand that can withstand the test of time, and the hardship of competition... In this episode, we dive into emotional branding and how unearthing your brand feel is absolutely essential to building a soulful, aligned and long-lasting brand. 

Your brand is a conversation between you and your dream clients, and when you craft a brand based on values and emotions rather than trends, you create a true relationship with your audience and foster a connection that goes beyond your product/service to develop a bond that will ignite trust, and in turn loyalty.

This episode is all about play and feeling all the feels, painting the picture of your brand and discovering what it can look like, sound like and feel like. Because we're all out here trying to connect with each other, aren't we?
