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!

Show notes

Is your social media feed making you feel better or worse about yourself and your life? And more importantly, is your social media feed empowering and inspiring you to become the person you want to be, or is it distracting you from becoming who you want to be?

Social media is powerful and we need to ensure we are using it in a healthy and productive way.

That's why in this episode of Embrace Your Real, I dive into why we need to be careful with the images we are allowing to fill our feeds, and how to build a feed that helps you grow in the direction you want to go.

How to Know Which Foods Work for You and Against You Sep 10, 2020

Show notes

Every person and every body is different, which means the foods that work best for me are not necessarily the foods that will work best for you. While beans and cauliflower make me feel bloated, and rice and pita chips give me energy, this may be the total opposite for you. This is why you should never follow what other people are eating and instead figure out what works best for your body and your goals. In this episode of Embrace Your Real, I empower you on how to determine which foods are working for you and making you feel your best, and which ones are working against you and taking you further from your goals.

Everyone thinks they want the perfect body. They think once they get there, they will finally be more beautiful, be more liked, be more valued.

In this episode, I chat with you about why that couldn't be further from the truth. Going from being a pro fitness competitor to becoming an honoring your body advocate, I'm speaking 100% from my experience.

Journaling is honestly one of the best things I've started to do for myself. It's something that I personally make a priority daily and since doing so, I have seen it make a drastic impact on both my mental and physical health.

5 Reasons Why I Don't Believe in "Cheat Meals" + 5 Things to Do Instead Aug 22, 2020

Show notes

When we are striving to build the body we want, many of us love to label foods as good or bad, and we drastically restrict ourselves to only eating those "bad" foods once a week as a part of our "cheat meal".

I don't believe there is anything coherently bad about the foods you are eating during your cheat meal, what I think is wrong is the fact that you need to label it as a cheat meal and that you only allow yourself to eat the food you actually want to eat once a week.

This mentality is toxic when it comes to developing a healthy relationship with food and your body.

So in this episode of Embrace Your Real, I share five reasons why I don't believe in a cheat meal in hopes of opening your eyes to how your cheat meal is impacting you. Plus, I share five things you can do instead.
