Hey, hey, beautiful human. Can I steal five minutes of your time? I have something super important to share with you, but I promise I'll be really quick. You're listening to my weekly bonus episode of Embrace Your Real with me, Julie Labbetter. I'm about to give you a quick tip for building your confidence, honoring your body, and unconditionally loving your authentic self. Stay tuned if you're ready to embrace a real.

Let's get it.

Let's go.

Hello and welcome back to another bonus episode on the Embrace Real podcast.

I am Julie Labrater and I am so glad that you are here. Let's talk about something that I get asked all the time, especially from new moms. And that is Julie, when should I start tracking macros? I love this question because it really does show that you're thinking about taking care of yourself. But here's the thing that I want you to know. just because macro counting is an amazing tool, it does not mean that it's the right tool for every season of life, in my opinion. I believe that there are times when tracking macros can and will support you and make your life easier. And then there's times that it can and will add stress that you don't need. So today, I'm going to give you three questions to ask yourself

before you start tracking. I think that these will help you to figure out if now is the right time

or if you need to give yourself more permission to wait. And don't worry, this is not about judgment.

It's really about honoring where you are. Before we dive in, though, I want to take a quick moment

to share this lovely review that

was left by a listener. It made me smile. She gave a five-star review and said, love, love, love.

Julie's podcasts are so amazing. I have really focused on a more positive mindset about my self-worth

and positive body image since listening. I now listen to my body more concerning workouts and

give my body the rest and nutrition

that it needs. I feel so strong, both physically and mentally. I look forward to listening to these

inspiring podcasts. I also love her workout app. It's really easy to use. And the instructions and

diversity with the workouts are amazing and easy to structure to fit into busy lifestyles. Yes, girl, I love that you are utilizing the movement with Julie dumbbell-only workout. If you guys are looking for dumbbell-only workouts, you can literally do anywhere. All you need is a few pair of dumbbells in a small space. You can go to sale. That's s-a-l-e-movood-juli.com. But thank you so much for taking time out of your day

to send in this review. It really does mean the world to me and our team just kind of know how the podcast is helping you or maybe just in general, like what you're getting from it. We would love to hear it. And then people who also stumble upon the podcast, whether they were referred by a friend or they just stumbled upon it in the Apple

app or in the Spotify app, they're able to really kind of see how these podcasts are helping

them so that they can choose to click on it before, right? They read the review before they click

on it and like waste time. And so I would just love for you to do that because, again, it just

helps other women who stumble upon the podcast. And our goal is just love for you to do that because, again, it just helps other women

who stumble upon the podcast. And our goal is to reach as many women as possible. So thank you in advance
