Episode 63. Are your insecurities worth it?
This short bonus episode packed a punch for me. Julie truly knows how to hit those heart strings no matter the length of an episode. It’s episodes like these that call you out on your habits and it’s probably the first time you’ve ever had that happen. It makes you realize that those feelings that you have normalized should never ever have been normalized. Julie constantly reminds us that being ourselves is our biggest strength and we need to enhance and embrace that power because that’s when we truly begin to live the life we want. Little do we all know, we all ALREADY that life!! We just need to LIVE it and stop letting our IRRELEVANT insecurities stop us from doing this. I’m gratefully guilty of this but it’s thanks to Julie that I’m slowly leaving it all behind and being ME. Julie, as I have said time and time again, you are a life saver and every woman out there needs to hear this podcast. Thank you for what you do
My supportive goddess

Your tips are literally posted up on my manifestation wall week after week and I get super excited to see a notification that your podcast is uploaded. You’ve come a long way and I hope you never stop! Love you!
