  • Before You Set Another Goal: Try This Instead
    Dec 15 2025

    Share Your Tips and Take-aways with me!

    Every January, we’re encouraged to set new goals, create resolutions, and push ourselves toward change. And yet, so many well-intentioned resolutions quietly fade by February.

    In this episode, I’m sharing a different approach—one that works with your brain, your nervous system, and your values instead of against them.

    Rather than asking, “What should I do this year?”
    We explore a more powerful question: “Who am I choosing to become?”

    You’ll learn why a personal manifesto can be a more effective, sustainable alternative to traditional New Year’s resolutions—and how it can guide daily decisions, reduce overwhelm, and support real alignment in your health, habits, and calling.

    We’ll talk about:

    • Why New Year’s resolutions often fail (from a neuroscience perspective)
    • How identity-based change creates lasting momentum
    • What a personal manifesto is—and what it is not
    • How clarity, courage, and calling shape better decisions
    • A simple 60-second daily practice to stay aligned all year
    • Why this approach supports mind, body, and spirit
    • How this becomes a foundation for your healthiest year ever

    This episode also serves as a jumpstart to the work we’ll be doing inside the Yes Society in January—where we focus on clarity, nervous system regulation, intentional habits, and whole-life well-being.

    If you’re tired of starting over every January and ready for a more grounded, life-giving way forward, this conversation is for you.

    ✨ Want to join us and create your healthiest year ever?
    The Yes Society is open, and you’re welcome here.

    For the One Who Feels Like She Does Everything: Burnout, December Brain, and the Shift Toward a Healthier Year

    Episode Summary:
    In this heartfelt and evidence-based episode, Juli speaks directly to the woman who carries the emotional, mental, and practical weight of the holiday season. Drawing inspiration from the new Prime Video film Oh. What. Fun. and Michelle Pfeiffer’s portrayal of Claire—the mom who tries to create the “perfect Christmas” alone—we explore what happens when women feel unseen, unsupported, and overwhelmed.

    Juli breaks down the neuroscience of “December brain,” the cost of chronic over-functioning, why asking for help can still leave women disappointed, and the identity-level shift that transforms burnout into possibility. She shares the better thought that helps rewire old patterns, and she invites listeners into a new vision: a year where joy is shared, responsibility is mutual, and support is non-negotiable.

    This episode is both a mirror and a roadmap—a compassionate reminder that you don’t have to earn rest, prove your worth, or carry everything alone. And if you’re ready to step into your healthiest year ever, Juli introduces The Yes Society as a space for growth, connection, and a science-backed pathway to a sustainable, joy-filled life.

    Listen now and start your reset.

  • How to Find Hope Again: Neuroscience, Faith, and Practical Tools for Hard Seasons
    Dec 1 2025

    Share Your Tips and Take-aways with me!

    Hope — The Science and the Soul of Beginning Again

    When hope feels distant, fragile, or hard to hold, this episode is for you.

    In today’s conversation, we explore hope in a way that honors both the brain and the spirit—how it works, why it fades, and how you rebuild it when life feels uncertain. This episode blends neuroscience, psychology, and spiritual formation with a gentle, compassionate invitation to begin again.

    Whether you’re navigating exhaustion, transition, loss, or a season where your prayers feel quiet, this episode offers a grounded path back to hope—one breath, one practice, one small step at a time.

    What You’ll Learn in This Episode

    1. The Neuroscience of Hope

    • How hope activates the prefrontal cortex, ACC, and dopaminergic pathways
    • What happens in the brain when hope dims—and how to reopen the circuits of possibility
    • How small actions and tiny wins rebuild hope biologically and emotionally

    2. When Hope Is All You Have

    • What it means to cling to hope in seasons of uncertainty or pain
    • Why Scripture frames hope as endurance, not positivity
    • How God meets us in liminal spaces—when the story feels unresolved

    3. When Hope Feels Hard to Hold

    • Why feeling “stuck” is neurological, not personal
    • How exhaustion, overthinking, and fear of disappointment block hope
    • How to rebuild hope gently

    4. How to Hope (A Science + Soul Framework)

    • Breathwork, grounding, and aromatherapy for regulating the nervous system
    • The power of borrowed hope: community, coaching, and co-regulation
    • Anchoring hope in something bigger than you—a faith-centered perspective
