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.

Today is an episode for the girl who woke up, looked at her workout clothes and said, uh, not today. Like, I get it. I really do. Even after years of consistently moving my body, I still have days where I just don't feel like working out.

Thanks so much for taking time out of your day to send in this review. If you guys could go over to

Apple Podcasts and leave a rating in our review, that would mean the absolute world to me and our team.

Just kind of know how the episodes are helping you. I would love to hear from you. So if you could do that now, I would love that and I will personally thank you.

If you screenshot that and send it to me in a direct message, I would love to personally

respond and just say thank you for taking time out of your day to do it and also tuning in

to the podcast. Okay, so what do I do on the days that I just don't feel like working out?
