Healthy and Happy | Create a Body and Life You Love

Complete this 2-MINUTE SURVEY for a chance to win my book or a full scholarship to the Healthy & Happy Mama Program!

Are you struggling in the "in between" — aka the place between where you are now, and where you want your life to go?

Do you see the BIG VISION for your life, but feel discouraged because you're not there yet?

Do you feel like life is a daily grind of keeping your head down, doing what you "should" be doing, but still not seeing results fast enough?

This episode is for you!

Join me as we discuss how to navigate the "in between," hold the vision for the next level of your life, and ENJOY/find peace in life in the meantime.

Listen: I am NOT a fan of traditional, unsustainable food diets. You know this.

But what I CAN get behind: a MENTAL diet.

People are quick to go on diets when they don't PHYSICALLY feel their best, but how often do we go on a MENTAL diet to ruthlessly eliminate all the negative inputs for our brains when we don't MENTALLY feel our best?

On this podcast, we talk a lot about food consumption. But overall wellness goes beyond what type of food you're consuming — it's the type of media you're consuming, conversations you're having, people you're surrounding yourself with, what you listen to, and how you think on a daily basis.

In this episode, I share a vulnerable story about what I've been going through recently that led me to the point of NEEDING this mental diet. Plus, we go over what the 30-day "mental diet" actually entails.

Would love to hear your thoughts and if you're joining me!

I recorded a podcast titled "Self Care When Life Sucks" a few years ago on this podcast when I was going through a really challenging period of my life. It's one of the most downloaded episodes because if there's one thing we can all relate to — it's that life ain't always rainbows and butterflies.

Now, I am currently going through a deep period of grief after my dad's passing in December, so I wanted to remake this episode to share my updated self-care practices during this extremely difficult time. (Note: This episode is for anyone who's going through a challenging period in their life, not necessarily just grief or loss.)

In this episode, we cover:

• A little bit about my grieving process (and how it will be different than yours/anyone else's)
• How I am taking care of myself emotionally, physically and beyond
• How to show up for someone you love who's grieving
• And more

If you can relate to this episode, I'm sending you a huge hug. Please know that you are seen, valued and loved. I hope this episode can bring you peace, comfort, and hopefully a little motivation to care for yourself during an extremely challenging time in your life. <3

Today my husband, Mark Novak, joins us on the Healthy & Happy Podcast.

Once you get past the weirdness of the first few minutes (you'll see what I mean LOL), the rest of the episode is super insightful and can help shift the way you view the holiday season re: food and training.

In this episode, we cover:

• How to shift your identity to become the type of person you want to be
• Practical tips for food and exercise over the holidays
• Why some people fail vs. succeed over the holidays
• Why the last 6 weeks of the year matter, and how you can get ahead for 2024
• And more!

GIIIIRL this podcast gets vulnerable. I share some of the changes I've made in my life recently via my LIFE AUDIT FORMULA.

If you feel like there's a gap between where you are, and where you know you're meant to be, this episode is absolutely for you. If you're sick of your own BS and have gotten stuck in negative physical/emotional habits, THIS IS DEEEFINITELY for you!

In this episode, we cover:

• What is a life audit and how to do it to get the best results
• How to give yourself grace for where you are AND *lovingly* hold yourself accountable so that you can improve your physical and mental health
• Why typical "goal setting" isn't really effective (hint: there's a KEY piece you're probably leaving out!)
• How to reinvent systems and habits in your life that are no longer working for you
• Real life examples of how I'm auditing my health, home, family systems, work, finances & online presence

If you want me to walk you through your own life audit, DM "Life Audit" to @healthyhappypodcast and I'll send you more info!

Today on the Healthy & Happy Podcast, we have none other than my fitness coach, dear friend, and the FIRST man on the podcast (besides Mark) ... *drum roll please* Andrew Wilhelm!

Ladies, you know I am super protective of our space, and I wouldn't bring a guest on unless I knew their inspiration and insights could change your life. I hope this episode leaves you feeling inspired, motivated, and ready to face and mental or physical challenges that come up for you this week (or in your life in general).

We touch on a lot of subjects in this episode — which was so fun — including:

• How to stick to a training routine when you have every excuse not to (tough season of life, becoming a parent, etc.)
• Becoming liberated from negativity
• How fitness is actually personal development
• The advice Andrew gave me that completely changed the way I look at my training when I told him I was bored with my workouts/not motivated
• The NUMBER ONE struggle Andrew hears from his clients, and what his advice is
• Top 3 things to look for when looking for a coach
• How Andrew built undeniable proof that he's a person who's trustworthy and dependable after hitting a rock-bottom moment
• Establishing "mandatory minimums," and how they can help you build self-trust and confidence
• Should you rely on internal or external motivation?
• The HILARIOUS story of how Andrew's wife pursued him
• How to become the partner you want to have + how to love unconditionally without keeping score
• Redefining modern-day masculinity and what it means to be a strong, compassionate and safe man in today's society

This podcast (and being around Andrew in general) always calls me forward and challenges the way I think, and I hope it does the same for you.

This episode has been a long time coming, and it has taken me a LOT to share this one. What you DON'T see behind the recording of this episode is the years it took to find my voice again and feel confident sharing, and the months after I recorded this episode wondering whether or not I should release it for fear of ruffling too many feathers. This may be my most controversial episode yet, and I'm OK with that! 

Here's what we talk about:

• The different phases of the wellness journey (how to identify which phase you're in and what type of coach would be best suited for you in that phase)
• My own evolution in my message & the NEW direction of what I'll be sharing on the podcast
• Why it's important to share your truth unapologetically
• And so much more vulnerability and realness

Please DM me and let me know your thoughts! I would love to hear your feedback about the direction of the pod. @byjuliebooher
