    S3 E4 Listen to This if Rest Makes You Feel Worse

    Send us a text Rest is supposed to help — so why does it sometimes make you feel worse? In this episode, I explore why slowing down can feel uncomfortable, unsettling, or even wrong when you’re used to coping, pushing through, or staying busy just to get by. We talk about the hidden adjustment phase that often follows stopping, why guilt and restlessness can surface when things finally quieten, and how rest doesn’t always arrive as calm — sometimes it arrives as honesty. This episode gently reframes rest as a necessary condition for regulation and clarity, not a reward that has to be earned. We look at why discomfort doesn’t mean rest has failed, and how learning to feel safe without urgency takes time. Season 3 of Let’s Stop Your Thought Bully is about rebuilding energy, reclaiming inner authority, and moving forward without force. This episode is for anyone who has tried to rest — and felt more unsettled instead. If slowing down feels harder than keeping going, you’re not doing anything wrong. You’re just in the middle. You’re not alone with your Thought Bully — I’m right here with you. Take your power back today, my lovely. One thought at a time.

    S3 E3 Listen to This If Your Motivation Has Disappeared

    Send us a text If your motivation has dropped and you’re wondering what’s gone wrong, this episode is for you. In this episode, I explore why loss of motivation isn’t always a failure or a lack of discipline — and why it’s often a sign that your energy has been depleted for too long. We talk about the quiet pressure to keep going, the damage done by constant “shoulds”, and why rest isn’t weakness but a necessary reset. I share how stepping back after illness and burnout didn’t end my working life, but reshaped it — leading to a completely different, more sustainable career. You’ll also hear why planning without pressure can be powerful, how recovery creates better timing, and why pausing doesn’t mean giving up on the future. We look at real-life examples — including sport and public figures — where rest and delay led to stronger returns rather than failure. Season 3 of Let’s Stop Your Thought Bully is about rebuilding your energy, reclaiming your inner authority, and moving forward without force. Over the coming weeks, I’ll also be introducing gentle energy downloads to help you stop pushing and start replenishing. If you’ve been telling yourself you should be doing more — this episode offers a different perspective. You’re not alone with your Thought Bully — I’m right here with you.

    S3 E2 Listen to This If You’re Pushing Yourself Too Hard

    Send us a text If you’ve been coping, managing, and pushing on — but quietly running on empty — this episode is for you. In this episode, I talk about the quiet pressure that drains our energy without us realising it. The constant “shoulds”, the expectations we place on ourselves, and the way stress and anxiety build when we keep going despite exhaustion. I share a real client story that highlights how easily caring, capable people can lose control — not because they’re weak, but because pressure has replaced self-trust. We also look at why pushing through isn’t strength when your energy reserves are already depleted, and how listening earlier can protect both your health and your sense of self. Season 3 of Let’s Stop Your Thought Bully is about building you up week by week — helping you reconnect with your energy, regain your inner authority, and feel steadier and more prepared for whatever life brings. This isn’t about forcing change or being harder on yourself.  It’s about recognising pressure early, choosing what’s sustainable, and learning to stand in your power with clarity and compassion You’re not alone with your Thought Bully — I’m right here with you. Take your power back today, my lovely. One thought at a time. If you ever want to reach out, you can find me at hello@julieblount.com

    S3 Ep 1 Before you Decide What This Year is About.

    Send us a text Before you decide what this year is about, it might be worth pausing. In this episode, I explore the quiet pressure many of us feel to define the year too early — to label it, plan it, or control it — and how that pressure can quietly drain our energy before we’ve even begun. We talk about letting the year reveal itself in real time, and gaining the ability to respond to life as it unfolds,  building inner strength by adapting to reality rather than forcing certainty. I share a light personal story about choosing openness over answers, and a powerful real-world example from elite sport that shows what it looks like to stand in your power — not by predicting outcomes, but by trusting your preparation, your energy, and your ability to respond. This episode also offers a gentle reflection to carry with you: noticing times you’ve already handled more than you thought you could, and recognising adaptability as a real form of strength. Season 3 of Let’s Stop Your Thought Bully is about conserving energy, quietening outdated fear, and building a grounded inner position so you feel ready for whatever life brings — without bracing, forcing, or burning out. There’s nothing to fix here.  Just space to steady yourself and move forward with more power. You’re not alone with your Thought Bully — I’m right here with you.

    Getting Your Power Back

    Send us a text As a new year begins, there’s often pressure to change, improve, or fix yourself. This episode offers something different. In this New Year’s Day episode, I introduce Season 3 of Let’s Stop Your Thought Bully — a season focused on getting your power back. We reflect gently on the year just gone, especially if it didn’t turn out the way you hoped, and explore why expecting the worst can feel safer than believing in positive change. I share my perspective on anxiety as outdated inner programming — the Thought Bully — and how it quietly drains power by feeding fear, pessimism, and doom-and-gloom thinking that doesn’t always match reality. This season is not about fighting your mind or forcing change.  It’s about steadily increasing your power, learning to listen to truth over fear, and choosing from worth rather than anxiety. The episode closes with a reflection on choice — how silencing the Thought Bully allows you to stop shrinking your life and start choosing the doors that respect who you are. This is a calm, grounded invitation into the new season — no resolutions required. You’re not alone with your Thought Bully — I’m right here with you. Take your power back today, my lovely.

    Christmas Day: A Quiet Place to Land

    Send us a text Christmas can be complicated. In this episode, I offer a quiet place to land for anyone who feels overwhelmed, depleted, or unexpectedly lonely — including the kind of loneliness that can show up even when you’re surrounded by people. I share a personal reflection on losing a sense of belonging after bereavement, the discomfort of not knowing what role you play anymore, and how choosing to simply be yourself can quietly restore confidence and worth. This is not a motivational message or a guide to “doing Christmas right”. It’s a gentle pause — an invitation to step back from pressure, let go of performance, and remind yourself that your presence doesn’t need a role to be valid. If today feels heavy, you’re not alone — and you’re not doing it wrong. Listen to this when you need a moment of calm.  You’re not alone with your Thought Bully — I’m right here with you.

    When You Feel Left Out — and Nothing Is Actually Wrong

    Send us a text Feeling left out doesn’t always mean you’ve been rejected. In this episode, I talk about the quiet experience of being present in a social situation — yet not quite included. From noisy group settings to invisible barriers like hearing difficulties, social anxiety, or simply not knowing how to join in, this is a reflection on how exclusion can happen without anyone intending harm. We explore why so many people attend social events out of obligation, why the spotlight is rarely on us as much as we think, and how shifting the focus from “How am I coming across?” to “How can I make someone else feel at ease?” can change the experience. This episode is for anyone who’s ever left a social event feeling drained, unsure, or quietly disconnected — and needs the reassurance that nothing is wrong with them.
