Welcome to The Steph Sanzaro Podcast, today we are joined by the magical Julia Hogarth. Julia is a beautiful friend of mine whom I have shared many incredible conversations just like this one. Today is no different; you are in for a very special episode.

Today’s episode comes with a **Trigger Warning** for miscarriage, grief and mention of suicide. Please move through this episode mindfully and gently, feeling free to pause at any time to take a breath, reflect, and consider what may come up for you.

Julia is a full-time #fangirl of and activator of big-hearted humans. Coach for creators, meditation teacher and book enthusiast. Her greatest joy is coaching women with big hearts and dreams. She holds space for you to come home to yourself, activating your ability to live your most delicious life. She coaches 1:1, is creatress of the group coaching program Wildly Worthy + facilitates yummy in-person events; all designed to super-charge your self-belief + unique expression. Her podcast, You School, is a celebration of your potential to do your own heart work out there in the wild. Conversations with rad humans to expand your thinking about what’s possible for you too.

This week’s episode is a little different than some. It begins as a gorgeous morning tea between two friends snacking on cookies and drinking herbal tea (I promise that the ASMR from eating and drinking only lasts 2 minutes). It’s a conversation between two big thinking friends, about real world stuff: feelings, grief, loss, business, social media, failure and much, much more.

Julia and I explore:

·  Surrounding yourself with people who see you better than you do

·  Being okay with ‘not knowing’

·  Why we need to think deeply about our relationship to social media

·  How to be intentional with social media use

·  How to find your heart work

·  Trying not to resist the breakdown before the breakthrough

·  Why the effort, produces the effortlessness

·  Why it’s never ‘failing’, it’s always learning

·  How our actions can tell the universe what we want

·  Why time is a made-up construct

·  Why we shouldn’t try to save people from their grief

·  Societies unrealistic expectations around miscarriage

·  How trauma changes us forever

·  Why we must let people learn their own lessons

·  Why our health must always come first

·  Stepping into our boldest, fullest lives

·  How through our darkest, darks can come so much light
