    Episode 57: I'm Never Going to Be 120 Lbs. And That's the Whole Point

    I lost a lot of weight the "skinny-bitch way" — and I lost too much. In this episode, I'm getting real about what that cost me (energy, hormones, feeling proud of myself), the shift that actually changed everything, and why most weight-loss advice was never built for women like me. If you're tall, built differently, or just tired of content made for a body that isn't yours this one's for you. We're talking fat loss, maintaining muscle mass, and the mindset it takes to keep it off for good.

    Ep 56 The Backstory Why I Go Ham on Everything

    I’ve always wondered why I go so hard. Why I have such a big vision for my life. Why I want to build so much, experience so much, and create a life that can hold it all. And recently, I realized the answer might go all the way back to when I was 11 years old—when my dad got sick, and I watched my mom slowly lose herself in the process. This episode is the most honest look yet at the deeper why behind the way I live, the way I dream, and the life I’m determined to build. Because sometimes the things we’re most driven to create are a direct response to something we watched someone we love lose. And once you understand the story underneath your patterns, you get to decide: are you still living from the rules you learned back then—or are you finally building your life on purpose? If you've ever wondered why you are the way you are, this one is for you.

    Ep 55 The Move — Choosing Scared Over Stuck

    I'm moving to a brand-new state. No job lined up. No guarantee it's going to work. No perfect plan. Just a decision that feels right—and a whole lot of fear coming along for the ride. Because here's the thing: I'm scared. I'm scared of starting over. I'm scared of not knowing anyone. I'm scared of wondering if I made the wrong decision. And sometimes, if I'm being completely honest, I'm even a little jealous of people who seem settled in the life they've built. But underneath all of that, I realized there was something I'm even more afraid of: staying. Staying in the familiar. Waiting for certainty. Saying "someday" until I look up and realize I spent years wondering what could have happened if I'd just been brave enough to try. And I have a feeling you're not all packing up your lives and moving to a new state—but you probably have a move of your own. The business you've been afraid to start. The relationship you know you need to leave. The conversation you've been avoiding. The dream you've been circling for months. This episode is about what happens when you stop waiting to feel ready and choose the version of scared you actually respect yourself for. Because regret hurts longer than fear does. So the question isn't, "What if it doesn't work?" It's: "What if I never try?"

    Ep 54 Self-Trust & the Scale

    I keep hitting new lows on the scale right now—and weight loss isn't even my goal anymore. And honestly? That's how I know something has fundamentally changed. For so much of my life, the number on the scale held way too much power. It could determine how I felt about myself, whether I thought I was "doing well," and whether I trusted myself to stay on track. But what happens when you stop trying to control your body and start trusting yourself instead? This episode isn't really about the scale. It's about the "scale" we all have in our lives—the number, metric, or external thing we use to decide whether we're okay. Maybe it's your weight. Maybe it's your bank account, your follower count, your relationship status, or your business revenue. The real goal isn't perfection. It's self-trust. Because you don't build self-trust by proving you'll never mess up. You build it by proving, over and over again, that you won't abandon yourself when you do. This is an episode about letting go of control, choosing presence, and becoming someone you know you can count on.

    Ep: 53. Stop Deciding Every Day (Do This Instead to Maintain Your Weight Loss)

    Most days don't fall apart because of a bad food choice. They fall apart because you're re-deciding everything, every single day. In this episode I break down "The Default": a decide-once daily structure (same anchor breakfast, prepped protein/veg/carb, macros logged at one fixed point) that removes decision fatigue before it ever starts. I get into why guessing your portions almost always lied to me, why "one day off" macro tracking quietly turned into weeks off, and why chasing fancy meal prep burned me out faster than just having staples I could rely on. Joy doesn't show up as some extra mindset practice you bolt on. It shows up because the system is already in place. IG @juliaamaryy, come chat.

    Episode 52: The Weight Loss Skill Nobody Taught Me

    I'm standing in my kitchen at 9pm and every part of me wants to open that pantry. This still happens. The difference now is what I do in the next ten seconds. In this episode, I'm breaking down body whispering: the actual skill that let me keep 70lbs off for seven-plus years without white-knuckling a single day of it. Not another discipline hack. Not more willpower. The practice of learning to hear what my body's actually asking for, before it has to scream at me through a binge, a crash, or a burnout. I'm getting honest about how disconnected I used to be from my own body's signals. Overriding hunger. Overriding fullness. Doing it in both directions, overeating for years and then swinging into restriction, never once actually listening either way. I'll walk you through the real question I ask myself now in a moment of craving: is this hunger, or is this a need for comfort, dopamine, distraction? And why that one shift changed everything about how I've maintained this weight, not through forcing my body into compliance, but through actually being in relationship with it. If you've ever felt like your body is something to manage instead of something to trust, this episode is for you. Come chat with me on IG @juliaamaryy

    Episode 51: TMB Hiking Diaries Ep. 1 - The Alps Don't Care About Your Plans

    I just got back from hiking 100+ miles through the Alps on the Tour du Mont Blanc and this episode is arrival day, day 1 in Chamonix, and the first real hiking day, which honestly deserves its own warning label. We start easy: landing in Geneva, getting mistaken for the French president's daughter, Mont Blanc views off the balcony, steak frites and bad EDM in a park. Then day 2 hits going the wrong direction out of the gate, a physical reality check I was not ready for, the ladders that almost took me out mentally, a race against a 7pm dinner cutoff with legs that had nothing left, and a bunk bed hut full of new friends and way too many beans. This is the episode where the trip stopped being cute and started being real.

    Episode 50: Motivation Is a Liar

    This week, I got proof that the dream is real. I created a masterclass. People signed up. People gave me their email addresses. And people showed up live. For a moment, it felt surreal. The thing that had existed in my head was suddenly happening in real life. And then I had to move. And then I had to pack for a trip. And then life showed up with its usual reminder: momentum is easy when you're inspired. The real test is what happens after. In this episode, I'm unpacking the honeymoon phase of a glow up and the moment reality crashes into it. We talk about the high of creating something you're proud of, the nervous system disruption that comes with major life changes, and the challenge of staying connected to your vision when you're living out of boxes and suitcases. I'm sharing the question that followed me all week: How can I make every single day beautiful? And if it's a bad day, how do I still make it count? We explore the difference between motivation and something much deeper. Because motivation got me to launch the masterclass, but motivation alone won't carry me through building a business, creating a new home, nurturing relationships, traveling, and becoming the woman I'm trying to become. What happens when the excitement fades? What do you lean on when willpower runs out? How do you keep showing up when life gets inconvenient? This episode is an honest look at the space between the breakthrough and the next breakthrough—the place where most people quit, but where real transformation actually happens. This week's report card: The masterclass? A. Staying in momentum through the chaos? We're grading that one honestly. And I'm sharing one small commitment I'm making this week to keep moving forward, even if it's imperfect. Because the honeymoon ending doesn't mean the glow up is failing. It means the glow up is getting real. And this is where it actually begins—not when everything is organized, not when the timing is perfect, not when life calms down. Right here. In the mess.
