5 Things to Let Go Of This Year + 5 Things to Remember Going Into the New Year

 

This episode is for you if you are walking into the new year feeling a mix of gratitude, exhaustion, hope, and maybe a little disappointment that things did not go perfectly. Instead of trying to become a whole new person on January 1, we talk about gently releasing the pressure, shame, and all-or-nothing mindset that weighs you down, so you can actually build a year that fits your real life.

Julie walks through five things to let go of that quietly sabotage your progress, and five truths to hold onto so you feel grounded, supported, and clear on how to move forward. This is about stacking small wins, building trust with yourself again, and remembering that starting over is not a sign of failure, it is proof you are still in it.

Here is what you will learn:

• Why staying stuck in “wishing” mode blocks the real change you want
• How extreme all-or-nothing overhauls quietly backfire on your brain and body
• A healthier way to approach weekends so they do not undo your rhythm from the week
• What it really means to let your effort match your expectations
• How to define what “healthy” means for you in this season of life
• A simple way to rebuild self trust with one small habit at a time

 (0:00) Hey there, beautiful human. You're listening to Embrace Your Real with me, Julie Ledbetter, (0:06) a podcast where I empower you to just be you. With each episode, I dish you a dose of real talk and (0:12) actionable advice for building your confidence, honoring your body, and unconditionally loving (0:17) your authentic self.

Stay tuned if you're ready to embrace your real. Let's get in. Let's go.

(0:28) Hello, and welcome to the Embrace Your Real podcast and welcome to 2026. I cannot believe (0:34) that we are already here. And I just want to kind of recap if we're being honest, like this last (0:41) year, 2025 might have stretched you, it might have refined you, it might have revealed some things in (0:47) you that just needed attention.

Maybe it was a year of doing the best that you could with the energy (0:50) that you had. Maybe it was a year of showing up imperfectly, but still showing up. And I want to (0:56) honor that because growth doesn't always look loud.

Sometimes it looks quiet and steady and (1:01) unseen. And sometimes it looks like getting back on track after a weekend. Sometimes it looks like (1:05) choosing a 20 minute workout over nothing.

And other times it looks like giving yourself grace (1:10) when your plan didn't go the way that you expected. So in today's episode, I want to release (1:15) some of that weight that we tend to carry as we head into the new year. And as we are here in (1:20) January, right, the pressure, the comparison, the should be further along mindset.

And instead, I (1:25) want you to step into this year with clarity, with simplicity and confidence in the habits that (1:30) actually will move your life forward. We're going to be talking about five things to let go of and (1:35) the things that have been holding you back. And then five things to remember the truth that should (1:40) ground you and guide you in this new year ahead.

But before I do, I want to share this review. It (1:46) comes from a lava Abe. She gave a five star view and said, just found you.

Wow. I just found this (1:51) podcast randomly, except not because I don't think anything is random, but God today. And it is (1:56) exactly what I've been missing.

Encouragement and truth swirled with a dose of practical help. (2:00) Thank you, Julie. Excited to keep listening along.

I'm so grateful. Truly your guys's reviews help (2:06) this podcast be able to find more women. And they remind me of why these conversations matter.

So if (2:13) you guys could scooch over to Apple podcast and leave a rating interview, a new one in 2026, (2:17) if you've already left one, you can leave a new one this year. And if you haven't already, (2:22) I would love to hear if there's a specific episode or just maybe the podcast in general has helped (2:26) you out. I would love to hear it.

I know our team would love to hear it. And so thank you in advance (2:30) for doing that. All right, let's just get right into it.

So we're going to do a part one and a (2:34) part two. The part one is the five things to let go of from last year, right? In 2025, number one, (2:40) the wishing mentality. I don't want you to have another year of wanting results.

You need a year (2:46) of doing. And I say that gently because most of us don't realize how much time we spend thinking (2:51) about change instead of actually building it. It's easy to get caught up in the idea of the (2:55) version of you that you want to become.

You can see her so clearly stronger, more energized, (2:59) confident in her choices. And sometimes visualizing that version feels so good. And your brain gets a (3:05) little hit of dopamine just from imagining it.

That matters because dopamine is the neurotransmitter (3:10) tied to reward and motivation. And your brain can't always tell the difference between the (3:14) idea of progress and actual progress. You can actually end up feeling like you're doing something (3:19) by just thinking about changing when no actual behavior has actually shifted yet.

And this is (3:24) where we get stuck waiting, right? Waiting to feel motivated, waiting for the morning that we wake up (3:28) to be excited and go all in, waiting for the season of life where everything feels aligned (3:32) and effortless. But biologically speaking, motivation is not something that comes before (3:37) action. It's something that is created by action.

Let me say that again. Motivation is not something (3:42) that comes before action. It is actually something created by action.

Your brain releases dopamine (3:48) after you follow through, not before. So if you're waiting to feel ready, you're likely going to be (3:53) forever. The women who see real change aren't living in perfect seasons.

They don't wake up (3:59) inspired every single day. They aren't more disciplined. They aren't more gifted.

What (4:03) they've learned is how to show up even when it's boring, because that's when your habits actually (4:08) get wired in. And this is where consistency matters on a deeper level, because when you (4:12) repeat the same small behaviors over time, your brain is going to strengthen that neural pathway (4:17) that makes those behaviors easier to perform, right? It becomes less of a fight, less decision (4:22) fatigue, less pushing yourself, more autopilot. So letting go of the wishing mentality is really (4:27) about shifting from, I hope this happens to I'm choosing to build this, not in extreme surges (4:32) of effort, but in the ordinary repeatable moments.

It's really understanding that your habits become (4:37) your outcomes and your outcomes become your identity and one tiny follow through at a time, (4:42) right? When you stop waiting for motivation and you start creating it through small action, (4:46) you give yourself the chance to become that version of yourself, not just picture her. (4:50) Number two is unrealistic overhauls. We have to let go of this idea that change only counts (4:56) if it's extreme.

I think so many of us always try to start a new year, trying to overhaul everything (5:01) at once, right? The workouts, the nutrition, the morning routine, the water, the journaling, (5:04) the sleep, the steps. It's like we decide in January, it's going to turn us into a completely (5:09) different human overnight. And the reason most of us don't follow through and those plans fall (5:14) apart by February or even earlier is not because you're lazy or you're undisciplined.

It's because (5:19) your brain is wired to resist these drastic changes. Our habits, even the ones that we don't (5:24) like are familiar. They feel safe to the brain because they're predictable.

And so when you try (5:29) to rewrite every single routine at the same time, your nervous system interprets that as a threat (5:34) and it goes, Whoa, that is way too much. That is unfamiliar. That does not feel safe.

And so it (5:39) pushes you back into this towards like what feels comfortable, which is your old pattern. And that's (5:45) why it feels like you lose momentum or you fall off track. So it's not failure.

It's your biology (5:49) and action, right? Small, realistic changes work because they allow your brain to adapt without (5:54) going into defense mode. When you adjust one habit at a time, like adding protein to breakfast or (5:59) lifting twice a week or taking a walk after dinner, your brain can integrate that behavior and begin (6:04) to recognize it as normal. Once something feels normal, it requires less effort to maintain (6:09) because it becomes a part of your identity, not just your plan.

And these identity-based (6:14) habits are the ones that actually last. So instead of trying to rewrite your entire life in the first (6:20) week or the first month of the year, I want you to think about stacking wins, right? One small (6:25) change at a time, one behavior that you can realistically follow through with until it (6:29) becomes something that you don't have to think so hard to anymore. And that's really how real (6:34) transformation happens.

Slowly, steadily, quietly in the background, not in the dramatic overhaul, (6:40) but in the gentle build, not in perfection, but in momentum. Your goal this year is not to become (6:46) a new person. It is to support the person that you already are with habits that make sense for (6:50) your season of life.

And if you're ready to really take these ideas and actually put them into a (6:56) routine that's realistic and supportive, I am here to help make that part simple for you, right? If (7:01) you need guidance in your movement, that is where my movement with Julie Dumbo and the workouts (7:05) literally give you workouts, your schedule, your progress roadmaps. So you don't have to figure (7:10) it out alone. And if nutrition is where you felt stuck in the past, that's where my macro (7:14) ketamine simple online academy teaches you how to fuel your body in a way that feels sustainable (7:19) and flexible and not restrictive.

These two tools were created to help you build habits that last (7:25) one intentional step at a time. If you want support, I am here for you. It is there for you.

(7:30) You do not have to do another year the way that you did last year, right? You get to create (7:35) something new. Number three is the weekend free for all. We have to talk about this Monday through (7:40) Friday.

I'm all in and I'm on it. And then Saturday and Sunday, like all bets are off cycle. So many (7:47) women, this was me, you guys for a decade of my life fall into this rhythm without realizing how (7:52) much it's actually affecting the results, not just physically, but mentally when you're constantly (7:56) swinging between strict and strict and being checked out, your brain never gets a chance to (8:01) build trust in your routine.

So from a physiological standpoint, your body does not operate in a five (8:07) day block. Your metabolism is actually responding to patterns, not isolated, good or bad days. (8:11) So when you eat consistently throughout the week and then dramatically shift your intake, (8:15) your meal timing, your alcohol, sleep, and stress on the weekends, it's going to confuse (8:19) your hormone signals all around like fullness energy.

It also is going to interrupt muscle (8:25) recovery, especially if you're training hard during the week. So it's not that you lose (8:28) progress because of one or two meals. It's that the constant stops and restarts preventing your (8:33) body from ever finding its rhythm and your body thrives on predictability, not just perfection.

(8:39) This is steady pattern that it could actually rely on. And I want to be clear. This is not (8:43) about never enjoying a weekend.

This is about noticing when your weekends have become a form (8:47) of escape because the plan that you're following during the week is too rigid to sustain. So if (8:51) Monday through Friday feels like you're holding it together, and of course, (8:55) Saturday is going to feel like that release, that is not a discipline issue. That is a strategy (9:00) issue.

And the solution in that case is to build a routine that you do not feel like you need to (9:06) run away from. Instead of tightening up Monday through Friday and letting go on the weekend, (9:10) I want you to aim for gentle alignment most of the time. So that's having similar meal timing (9:15) on weekends as you do on weekdays, keeping that protein consistent, even if the meals look (9:20) different, choosing movement that you enjoy on the weekends, a walk, a lift, a quick workout at (9:25) home, not as punishment, but to keep your body in rhythm and let flexibility be a part of the plan (9:31) from the start, not something that you earn.

When your habits feel livable, your weekends really do (9:36) stop feeling like a break from your life and start feeling like a continuation of it because (9:40) consistency is choosing alignment more often than not. And over time, in a way that is going to (9:47) and not replace it. Number four, quick fix thinking.

So we have to let go of this mindset (9:53) that faster is better. I know that it's tempting. Every year we are bombarded with these programs (9:58) that are like a 30 day transformation, drop two sizes in a month, reset your metabolism a week.

(10:03) And when you're feeling uncomfortable in your body or you're frustrated with your progress, (10:07) those promises feel so hopeful in the moment. Like they give you the sense of relief that it's right (10:11) around the corner. But here's the truth that most programs don't tell your body can absolutely (10:17) change in 30 days, but it doesn't mean that it's going to stay that way and your body's adaptive.

(10:22) So when you drastically drop your calories or you increase your training volume overnight, (10:26) your body responds by slowing down non-essential systems to conserve energy. And that's why these (10:32) quick fix programs often lead to initial weight loss followed by a plateau or increased cravings (10:38) and hunger, low energy, irritability, feeling out of control when the program ends. It's not (10:43) because you couldn't stick with it.

It's because those programs rely on willpower instead of (10:47) physiology, right? Sustainable progress works the opposite way. So instead of shocking your system, (10:54) it's going to teach your metabolism to trust that nourishment and energy output are consistent. (10:58) And that trust is what allows your body to feel safe, building muscle, changing body composition, (11:03) balancing hunger signals, and improving energy.

But that kind of progress takes time, (11:08) not in a discouraging way, but in a way that actually lasts. So instead of asking how quickly (11:13) you can change, I want you to start asking how intentionally you can build because the real (11:18) confidence doesn't come from watching the scale move or seeing progress photos change in a short (11:23) window. It really does come from knowing that you can trust yourself to follow through in your (11:27) everyday life and the meals that you cook during a busy week, the workouts that you choose, even (11:32) when you're tired or it's dark outside, it's cold, it's snowing, whatever the situation is, (11:36) the way that you speak to yourself when you feel like you're not doing enough, that's where the (11:40) transformation lives.

And when you allow progress to unfold steadily, you're giving your metabolism (11:45) time to adapt, your hunger cues time to balance, your muscles time to grow, and your nervous system (11:50) time to feel safe in the change. It really stops being something that you're forcing and starts (11:55) becoming something that your body recognizes as normal. And that's when it becomes to feel easy, (11:59) like that's when it begins to start to feel easier, not because the habits are smaller, (12:03) but because they're finally aligned with the lifestyle that you can live in not escape from.

(12:08) Last but not least, number five in part one, the shame of starting over. So we need to release (12:13) this idea that starting over means that you failed somewhere along the lines. I think many of us have (12:17) picked up this belief that if we fall off track or we lose momentum, or we need to recommit, (12:21) it means that we just weren't disciplined enough or you should be further along by now.

But that (12:26) guilt actually keeps you stuck far more than the setback ever could. Like your progress is not a (12:31) race when you pause, your growth doesn't disappear because you had a hard month or a few months, (12:36) your strength isn't gone because life got overwhelming. In fact, your ability to begin (12:40) again to choose yourself again is one of the strongest indicators of long term success.

(12:45) From a science perspective, change is actually built repetition, not through perfection. So (12:49) every time you are returning back to your habits, you're reinforcing those neural pathways, (12:54) and you're making those habits easier to access. Even if there was a break in between, (12:58) the pathway is still there.

You're not starting from scratch, you're starting from experience. (13:02) And here's something else that matters. Shame activates the part of the nervous system (13:06) that moves us into withdraw and avoidance, meaning the more guilty that you feel about (13:11) falling off, the harder it becomes to re-engage.

Whereas on the other hand, compassion re-engages (13:16) the part of the brain that feels responsible for decision making and follow through. And that's (13:21) why speaking kindly to yourself isn't fluffy, it's actually functional. So instead of asking like, (13:26) oh, why did I fall off? I want you to instead ask like, what made it hard to stay connected? (13:32) And what support do I need to show up today? And instead of saying, you know, I'm so behind, (13:38) I want you to instead reframe it and say, I'm still here and I'm still choosing to continue.

(13:43) Your progress is going to be built in the moments that you return, not in the moments where everything (13:47) goes perfectly, right? You're not weak for starting over, you're persistent, you're resilient, (13:52) and you're learning how to create a life that meets you in every season, not just the easy (13:56) ones. And that matters more than never falling off in the first place. All right, part two, (14:01) these are the five things to remember going into now 2026, right? Number one, reflection beats (14:08) reinvention.

So one thing that I personally have learned over the years is that January can make us (14:12) feel like we need to become a completely different person, like new routines, new goals, new mindset, (14:17) new everything, but most of us don't actually need a full reset. We need to understand what worked (14:22) for us and what didn't work for us in the past year. When you take a moment to really look back, (14:26) there's usually a clear pattern.

There were weeks or months where you felt strong and grounded, (14:30) where your habits felt doable, they felt supportive, and there were probably seasons where (14:35) things felt heavier, your routine slipped because something else in life needed your attention. (14:38) That does not mean that you failed, it just means that you're human. And reflection is simply asking (14:43) yourself, okay, what helped me thrive and what felt like friction? And when you answer that, (14:48) honestly, you give yourself a roadmap for the year ahead.

Like maybe you learned that early (14:52) morning workouts gave you more energy throughout the rest of the day. Or maybe you learned that (14:56) you have to have prep protein for the week in order to really allow it to become something (15:03) that you do regularly. And if you don't, then that's when your protein intake or lack thereof (15:09) starts to slide.

Maybe you notice that when you train three times a week, you were consistent, (15:13) but when you tried for six, everything fell apart. Like that transformation matters. It's useful and (15:19) it's your data.

When you build your routines from what already supported you, instead of trying to (15:24) create a brand new identity, your habits feel steadier and more natural and you stop forcing (15:29) change and start building it into your life in a way that fits who you actually are and where (15:34) you're at in your life. You don't have to reinvent yourself this new year, you already have so much (15:38) to work with. You just need to slow down long enough to notice it.

Number two goals are only (15:44) as good as their plan. So it's easy to get really excited about big goals. Like you picture how you (15:48) want to feel, how you want to move in your body, the kind of strength and confidence you want to (15:52) carry into the new year.

And that vision is important. It gives you direction, but progress (15:56) doesn't come from the goal itself. It comes from the steps that you take consistently to support it.

(16:02) Like a goal needs a plan attached to it. Otherwise it's just something that you hope happens, right? (16:07) If you say you want to get stronger this year, it helps to get a clear idea of what that actually (16:13) looks like in your week. Like how many days are you going to lift? What program are you going to (16:17) follow? What time of day are you going to train so that it's realistic and it fits into your life? (16:21) If you want to say, let's, for example, I want to have more energy.

It's worth looking into how (16:26) you're eating, how you're sleeping, how you're recovering so that your body has what it needs to (16:31) show up. And if you want to be consistent, it's important to know how you're going to support (16:36) yourself on the days when motivation is not there. It's snowing, it's cold, it's freezing.

(16:40) That's the last thing that you want to do because those days are a part of the process too. And the (16:44) more decisions that you make ahead of time, the easier it is for you to follow through. (16:48) And when we leave everything up to, I'll just figure it out when the time comes, we end up (16:53) relying on willpower.

And willpower is not meant to carry the entire load. What actually carries (16:58) you is clarity. A simple, repeatable plan that you can return to, even when life gets busy, (17:04) that's going to always take you further than the big goal with no structure behind it.

(17:09) You don't need a more dramatic goal. You just need a plan that supports the life that you (17:14) actually live. And again, this is why my movement with Julie Dumbo Only Workout exists, right? (17:18) It's there to push you harder or ask you, and this is exactly why my movement with Julie Dumbo (17:24) Only Workout app exists.

It is not there to push you harder or ask you to become a new person. (17:30) It is there to give you a routine that you can actually live in, right? The app helps you to (17:34) stay consistent because it removes the mental load, the guesswork, and the pressure to constantly (17:39) start over. It supports the rhythm that you're trying to build in your workouts and makes it (17:43) easier to keep going because literally all you need is a few pair of dumbbells and a small space.

(17:48) Number three, your effort needs to match your expectations. If you have a goal that you care (17:53) about, whether that's getting stronger, feeling firmer in your body, simply just noticing more (17:57) tone, the effort that you put in needs to reflect the goal, not effort in terms of time, but effort (18:04) in terms of intention. You can make meaningful progress in short workouts as long as those (18:09) workouts are challenging enough to signal to your muscles to adapt, and here's what that means in (18:14) everyday language, right? When you strain train, your muscles need to be pushed close to their (18:19) limit, and that's what is going to create that tiny breakdown in those muscle fibers so that (18:23) your body later repairs, and the repair process is what makes you stronger.

If the weight is too (18:28) light, the reps feel too easy, your muscles don't get that signal, so you can show up, (18:33) you can move, you can sweat, feel like you worked out, but not actually move closer to your goal. (18:37) A good way to really check yourself is to notice how the last two reps of a set feel, like if they (18:43) are challenging and you need to focus to maintain form, you're in the right zone, but if you could (18:49) just keep going comfortably, like five, six, seven, eight more reps, that's a sign that your muscle (18:54) isn't being asked to grow. Consistency matters too.

Most people see real changes when they train (19:00) each muscle group at least twice a week. This doesn't mean long workouts again. It means (19:04) structured workouts that build on each other instead of random routines that hit different (19:09) muscles every day without progression.

Progress happens when your training has intention behind (19:15) it, and when you choose weights that truly challenge you and you return to those movements consistently, (19:20) your body gets that message. It repairs, it adapts, it gradually becomes stronger, (19:25) and those gradual changes are what creates visible, lasting results. It doesn't need to (19:30) feel extreme.

It just needs to be purposeful. And so if having a plan is going to help you (19:35) stay intentional, that is again, exactly why I created my Movement with Julie Dunbar Only Workouts, (19:40) that they are there to support you. The workouts are structured with progression in mind so that (19:44) you always know what to do and how to move forward.

Like literally you open the app, (19:49) you follow the workout for the day, you pick is it a 30 minute or a 60 minute, and you just, (19:54) you stay consistent that way. It keeps the process simple and doable while still helping you make (19:59) real progress over time. All right, number four is defining what healthy actually means to you.

(20:05) There's a lot of noise around what fitness is supposed to look like. New routines, new challenges, (20:10) new trends that tell you that there's only one path to being healthy, and it's their path, right? (20:14) This is the way to go. But your body responds best when your habits actually support the life (20:19) that you're living, not the ones that you think you should be living.

When you choose routines (20:22) that match your real energy, your schedule, your emotional bandwidth, your nervous system stays (20:26) more regulated. And a regulated nervous system makes it easier to stay consistent because your (20:32) body isn't working against stress and overwhelm every single time you try to work out. When your (20:36) routines constantly place you in a stressed or rushed state, your body releases higher levels (20:41) of cortisol.

Cortisol itself isn't bad, but consistently elevated levels, that is what is (20:47) going to make you feel fatigued, less motivated, and more likely to skip workouts altogether. But (20:52) when your habits are doable and nurturing, your body then feels safe. Safety allows for that (20:59) follow-through, and follow-through is really what changes and creates those changes over time.

So (21:04) here's kind of just like a practical check-in that you can do today. On a scale from one to ten, (21:09) how sustainable does your current routine feel? Not how impressive it looks on paper, but how (21:13) realistic it fits into your actual day. If that number that you have in your mind is below a seven, (21:19) I want you to lower the intensity, shorten the time, and simplify the routine.

The goal (21:24) is to choose habits that feel repeatable most days, not perfect on best days. And your healthiest (21:29) season is the one that you can actually live in, the one that supports your mood, your energy, (21:33) your stress levels. When your routine reflects your real life, your body responds in a way that (21:38) feels steady and grounded rather than overwhelming.

And last but not least, number five, you already (21:43) have what it takes. You don't have to reinvent yourself to make progress, right? The qualities (21:47) that you need to stay consistent, discipline, resilience, patience, self-trust, those are already (21:53) a part of you. They might feel quieter right now, especially if the last few months have been full (21:58) of stress, change, survival mode, but your brain and body are literally built to learn and relearn (22:04) patterns.

With practice, those qualities become easier to access again. And a simple way to (22:09) understand this is through how the brain forms habits. So every time you repeat a behavior, (22:14) even in a very small way, your brain strengthens that neural pathway that it supports it, right? (22:20) So I want you to think about like walking the same path through grass.

The more times you walk (22:24) through it, the clearer and easier the path becomes. Discipline works the same way. It grows (22:29) from repetition, not from waiting to feel motivated or ready.

So here's kind of your practical step. (22:34) I want you to choose one small daily habit that aligns with how you want to show up this year, (22:39) something very realistic enough for you to repeat it without forcing that willpower. For example, (22:45) this could be like a 10 minute walk right after breakfast or right after lunch or right after (22:50) dinner or two sets of squats or rows, or even adding like one serving of protein to the meal, (22:55) right? This goal is to not prove anything, but the goal is to gently remind your brain and body, (23:00) okay, this is who I am and I follow through.

And over time, those small acts rebuild self-trust. (23:05) They help you remember your own strength, not create it from scratch scratch. And when you (23:10) remember that strength, everything else becomes easier to maintain, not because you've changed (23:14) it to someone new, but because you've reconnected with the one that you've been all along.

Okay, (23:19) let's quickly recap. So I want to kind of bring everything that we talked about into focus. (23:24) And these are the practices that truly will help you to stay consistent and feel grounded in your (23:29) routine.

I want you to let your effort match your expectations by choosing weights and routines (23:35) that challenge you in a meaningful way. I want you to build your routine around the season of life (23:39) that you're in right now, not the one that you think you should be in. I want you to choose (23:44) habits that support your energy and nervous system so your body can actually follow through.

(23:49) And I want you to remember that discipline and self-trust grow through repetition. Every small, (23:55) steady habit count. And last but not least, let your progress be something that feels lived in, (24:00) not forced.

Change really does happen through intention and consistency. These are the things (24:06) that you can return to over and over again. They're flexible and human, and they also make (24:10) room for real life while still moving you towards the version of yourself that you care about, (24:15) strengthening.

If today's conversation really felt encouraging or clarifying, I know you'll (24:21) also love episode 407, five new year's resolutions and mistakes and how to avoid them. I will go (24:27) ahead and link that in the show notes below. And if you're thinking, okay, I really want to do this (24:31) and I would love support with that structure.

That is exactly where my programs come into play. So my (24:36) movement with Julie Dumble only workouts, those again, are already planned with progression in (24:42) mind. So literally all you have to do is open the app and pick like a workout that you want to do (24:46) 30 minutes, 60 minutes, and just follow along.

There's video demonstrations for every single (24:50) movement. All you need is a few pair of dumbbells in a small space. It's really going to help you (24:54) stay consistent without guessing or overthinking.

And if you're ready to learn how to nourish your (24:58) body in a way that supports your energy, your training, your real life, that's exactly what (25:02) we go through inside my Macro Economy and Simple Online Academy. It's going to remove the overwhelm (25:07) from food and really does help you feel confident in how you're feeling yourself. If this episode (25:11) supported you, I would love for you to share it with someone that you care about.

And if you (25:15) haven't yet, please take a moment to follow the show, Liberating Interview. It truly does help (25:20) the message reach more women. I'm so grateful that you're here.

Thank you so much for taking (25:24) time to tune in. Until next time, I love you so dang much. I mean it.

I'll talk to you in the next one. (25:36) All right, sister, that's all I got for you today. But I have two things that I need you to do.

(25:42) First thing, if you're not already following me on the gram, be sure to do so. Julie A. (25:47) Ledbetter. Yes, it's with an A in the middle for that daily post workout real talk, healthy tips (25:53) and tricks, and honest accountability to keep your mind and heart in check.

The second thing, (25:58) be sure to subscribe to Apple podcast to never miss an episode. Thank you so much for joining (26:04) me. It means the absolute world.

And I'm going to leave you with one last thought. The most (26:09) beautiful women that I have met in my life are the ones who are completely confident and secure (26:14) in being authentically themselves. Remember that beauty goes so much deeper than the surface.

(26:20) So go out there and embrace your room because you're worth it.
