Embrace Your Real

Welcome to Embrace Your Real with me, Julie Ledbetter, a podcast where I empower you to just be you. My hope for you is to stop hating your body, picking a part every flaw, questioning your worth, doubting your strength, making excuses, and constantly starting over.

I get it, I’ve been there. I know it feels like an impossible cycle to break, but let me tell you: I’ve successfully broken the decade long struggle, and over the last 8 years I have helped thousands of other woman do the same. I know it’s possible and that’s why I am here to ensure you do, too!

Every episode, I dish you a dose of real talk and actionable advice for building the body you want, creating unshakable confidence and embracing your authentic self.

Each week I share my secrets on how to honor your body with movement, nourish your body with exactly what it needs, and give you transformative mental shifts that will help you show up for your life in a powerful way.

Are you ready to embrace your real? Let’s get it, let’s go!

Unlearning Society's Expectations for Us Oct 14, 2020

Show notes

Why do we think we need to become skinnier? or more productive? or less sensitive? or more outgoing? or whatever it is we think we need to become? Why do we think we need to become less of what we are and become more of what we are not? ⁣ Unfortunately, the society we live in has conditioned us to believe we should be a certain way, should look a certain way, and should live a certain way…and we believe it! In this episode of Embrace Your Real, I challenge you to question why you are doing what you are doing. Are you doing it for yourself or for society? If you love this episode, you will also love...

Getting Off Your Fitness Plateau with Progressive Overload Oct 12, 2020

Show notes

Hey sister, are you stuck on a fitness plateau? You know I'm the biggest advocate for honoring your body with movement daily. It's so great for both your mental and physical health. But if you want to take your results to the next level and change your body composition, it's going to take a little bit more than just movement. It's going to take some progressive overload. A plateau happens with your fitness because you are repeating the same demands week in and week out. When you do this, your body adapts. Progressive overload is this simple principle that involves continually increasing the demands you place on your muscles to ensure you are continually making progress with muscle growth, fat loss, strength, and endurance. Essentially, in order to continually see results and get over your plateau, you must continually make your muscles work harder than they're used to working. So if you work out regularly, or honor your body with movement regularly, and are stuck on a plateau, this episode is for you!

Cellulite is Normal (So Let's Normalize It!) Oct 08, 2020

Show notes

Have cellulite? I need to let you in on a little secret…Having cellulite is not a sign that you are unhealthy, or that you need to lose weight, or that you are not in good enough shape, or that you need to work out more. Cellulite is just a sign that you are a WOMAN. And in this episode, I'm going to dive into why cellulite is something to celebrate and not something to be embarrassed about.

Breaking Your "Not Enough" Mentality Sep 26, 2020

Show notes

When put our head on our pillow at night, we always feel like there was more we needed to do and we didn't get enough done. We could have done more at work, we could have done more with our kids, we could have done more in our workouts, we could have done more around the house, we could have done more, more, more, more.

And aside from all of that, we also feel like what we have isn't enough–our wardrobe isn't trendy enough, our house isn't big enough, our car isn't nice enough, our job doesn't pay us enough, and the list just goes on and on.

Most of us are living our lives believing what we have isn't enough, what we do isn't enough, and who we are isn't enough.

When will enough ever be enough? Or will we live our entire lives never feeling like any of it is enough?

We need to break this mentality, sister. And in this episode of Embrace Your Real, I'm going to tell you how.

And to me, it just doesn't make sense. In this episode of Embrace Your Real, I'm going to chat with you about whether or not your insecurities are really worth it. Are they worth your time? Are they worth your energy? Are they worth holding you back from accomplishing everything you want to accomplish? And, are they worth holding you back from living your best life? Tune in to find out!
