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'm so grateful that you are here spending some time with me today. If you've stepped on the scale recently and just felt this wave of worry or pressure come over you or maybe you've noticed that your clothes are fitting differently, you felt unsure about it. You are not alone. The holiday season can really shift routines, meals, sleep, stress levels, and your body does respond to those changes. And that response is normal. It's human. And so, today's episode, I want to share five comforting truths about waking that will help you release that stress, get back to balance, and step into the rest of your week and this holiday season, feeling grounded and empowered. Before I dive in, though, I want to share this review. It comes from Mrs. Carrie Kay. She gave a five-star review and said

amazing, awesome, and oh, so much truth. Listen, a friend referred Julie's podcast to me a long time ago.

And backstory, I'm a serial dieter, a former workoutaholic, and just have totally messed up my view of

eating and body image. I've decided after going from one extreme of being super thin to a total anti-diet gal that this

summer I'd commit to macro counting.

I've dabbled with it before, but ultimately gave up.

I decided to give Julie's podcast a listen since I see it in my library every day.

And oh me, oh my, I've listened to so many episodes in the last two days.

She just gets it.

I'm excited for this macro

counting journey for a new mindset and for a shift with my dieting life. Every episode has a little or a lot

of nuggets of pure gold. Thank you, Julie. I'm so grateful. 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. And I'm so pumped for your macro counting journey. Listen, I know that so many people

have experience with dieting and some people, they hear the word macro counting and they're like,

no, I can't do it. And I just want you to know that macro counting has so many different approaches

to it, whether that's just you counting the

amount of protein that you're eating on a daily basis or just the overall calories in your

protein, maybe counting all three macronutrients sound super overwhelming. I totally get that.

And I just want you to know that there are so many different approaches to macro counting
