Hey there, beautiful human. You're listening to Embrace Your Real with me, Julie Ledbetter,

a podcast where I empower you to just be you. With each episode, I dish you a dose of real talk

and actionable advice for building your confidence, honoring your body, and unconditionally loving

your authentic self. Stay tuned if you're ready to embrace your real. Let's get and let's go.

Hello and welcome back to another episode on the Embrace Row podcast. We're going to be

talking about something that I think a lot of women are feeling right now, even if they

haven't

quite put it into words. And that's this shift that we're seeing towards a gentler, more

mindful movement. You might have heard it as like the soft girl era. That's what people are

talking about online. And I know that that phrase gets thrown around in a bunch of different

ways. But today I kind of want to explore it what it can actually look like when we apply it to fitness and why softness doesn't mean weakness and how honoring your body doesn't mean giving up on your goals.

By the end of this episode, my goal is to have you walk away with five ways to embrace softer, more intentional movement without losing progress,

a better understanding of what softness and fitness actually looks like.

Tips for balancing structure with grace, discipline, and flexibility, permission to pursue

your goals without the hustle, culture, energy.

And lastly, ideas for building a routine that truly supports your whole self, your body,

your mind, and your heart.

But before we dive in, I want to share this review comes from JRA-A's 003. She gave a five-star review

and said, much-needed podcast. This is my first time tuning into the podcast, and it just came

in a time where I was starting to feel bad about rest days. Julie actually gave us the

science behind the importance of rest days, and she made it quick and easy to listen. Great podcasts that aligns well with her program, her movement with Julie, workouts. Thank you again, Julie. Thank you so much for taking time out of your day to send in this review. It really does, again, mean the world to me when you guys take the time to send in that review. So you could scooch over to Apple Podcasts and leave a rating interview.
