In this episode of the Evolving Body Podcast, Julie dives into how embracing a flexible mindset can empower women to create lasting, positive change without the pressure of perfection.

So often, we set ourselves up for disappointment by aiming for unrealistic standards, but true progress comes from small, consistent actions and a compassionate approach to our journey.

I share practical tips on how to shift from an "all or nothing" mentality to one that values progress over perfection, helping you build healthier habits with flexibility and consistency.

Tune in for gentle encouragement and tools to help you move toward your goals with kindness, self-compassion, and a focus on the positive steps you’re already taking.

In this episode of Evolving Bodies, we explore the transformative power of movement and strength training – not as a way to change our bodies, but as a way to celebrate them. Julie dives into why finding joy in movement is key to creating lasting habits that support both physical and mental well-being.

Whether you're lifting weights, dancing in your living room, or simply taking a walk, movement can be a powerful tool for building confidence, resilience, and self-love.

Join us as we discuss the benefits of strength training, how it can boost your mental health, and why discovering what you truly enjoy is essential to making exercise a sustainable and positive part of your life.

Plus, Julie shares tips for starting your own joyful movement journey, no matter where you are in your fitness experience.
