Summary

Okay, let’s be honest…
Some days, your body just feels... off. The jeans don’t fit right. A photo catches you off guard. And suddenly, you're in a full-on spiral, questioning your progress, your worth, and whether anything you’re doing is working.

If you’ve been there (or you’re there right now), this episode is for you.

I’m walking you through five mindset shifts to keep in your back pocket for those low-confidence days, the ones where nothing feels quite right. These aren’t surface-level affirmations. These are truth-based reminders that actually help reframe the way you show up for your body.

Inside this episode, you’ll hear:

Why loving your body has nothing to do with loving how it looks
What confidence is really rooted in (hint: it’s not your size)
How to unlearn the body shame you’ve picked up over the years
Why care rooted in respect lasts longer than motivation rooted in self-criticism
And why how you feel in your body will always matter more than how it looks in the mirror

This is the episode to come back to whenever you feel disconnected from your body, discouraged by your progress, or just need a reminder that you don’t have to be perfect to be confident.

And if this episode speaks to you, I know you’ll also love Episode 462: 4 Verses For When You Struggle With Body Image (Part 1)

0:00.0	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.
0:21.7	Let's get it.
0:22.5	Let's go.
0:30.1	Hello and welcome back to another bonus episode on Anembrace Real podcast.
0:34.8	Let's be honest, some days, some weeks, or even months, we just feel
0:38.5	off in our bodies. Like it happens to all of us, you wake up, your jeans fit weird, or you see a photo and you're like, ugh, that is not what I look like in my head. And before you know it, you literally start spiraling into body comparison, self-criticism, and that old lie that your body is somehow not enough. So if you're having one of those days or one of those weeks or maybe
0:37.6	even one of those months, comparison, self-criticism, and that old lie that your body is somehow not enough. So if you're
0:55.0	having one of those days or one of those weeks or maybe even one of those months, this episode is for
1:00.0	you. I want to remind you of five powerful truths to hold on to when your body confidence
1:05.7	is feeling low. These are not fluffy affirmations. These are mindset shifts rooted in truth that can change the
1:13.9	relationship that you have with your body. But first, let me share this super sweet review.
1:17.6	It comes from Rocky Moss. You give a five-star review and said, this girl, though, I'm a 48-year-old
1:23.6	wife, mom, grandmother, and ex-fitness competitor. After 11 competitions over the course of six
1:30.2	years, I finally hung up my clear heels and glitzy bikinis at the age of 44. I wanted to live my life
1:37.1	stage ready for anyone that can relate. You know that it is impossible. Needless to say, my
1:42.7	hormones were wrecked and my mind was even more wrecked.
1:45.6	I stumbled upon Julie's podcast after searching for some macro-counting information, and I'm so
1:50.5	thankful that her podcast appeared in the results. I have listened to every episode and absolutely
1:55.4	cannot get enough of this girl. She speaks clearly and there's no fluff, aka words like,
2:03.3	um, or like, which I try really hard, but sometimes I'm sorry they come out. I'm fascinated by how positive she is and how her
2:08.6	compassion for others comes across in each and every episode. Our current world needs more
2:14.0	positive influencers like Julie, now more than ever. Unfortunately, it took me until my late
