Boundaries, People Pleasing, and Food Service

Bonus - Grace Got It!

My older daughter joins me for a double-length special to finish out Season 1.  She brings a new voice and a different perspective to our discussion of boundaries, adaptations, inner child work, and how to show up as a wise adult.  This means: navigating family holiday plans, workplace communication, sibling relationships, how to connect with parents as an adult, and so much more.

Boundaries, People Pleasing, and Food Service

In our most real-life, relatable episode yet, we tell stories of life in a restaurant, parenting in the age of social media, and how gender and power dynamics play out in ordinary days. Boundaries are a much needed tool for working out what I do and don't need or want.  But 'working' is exactly what's needed. Boundary setting is a skill that improves with practice, and we talk about how to practice. Join us, and let us know what you think. If you like what you hear, leave us a 5 star review, and we'll see you in Season 2. We'd love to hear from you at www.juliepowellcoaching.com [http://www.juliepowellcoaching.com]...

Boundaries (or none)

Nobody taught us to say no — and in this episode, we're talking about why. Join us as we get candid about the ways we learned from a young age to be agreeable, selfless, and endlessly available. We share our own stories — as mother and daughter — of losing ourselves in relationships, roles, and responsibilities because we never learned that boundaries weren't selfish. They're necessary for healthy relationships!. This episode is for every woman who has ever felt guilty for saying what she needs.

From Romance to Real Love (cont)

It can feel like the lessening of romance means something is wrong. In reality, it means the relationship is asking to grow up. This episode reframes the shift from early intensity to long-term partnership as a necessary developmental move—from projection to presence, from fantasy to friendship. Julie and Faith explore how you can both show up for each other, and even appreciate the privilege of getting to grow!

From Romance to Real Love

In this episode, we're having an honest conversation about love — what we're taught it should be, and what it actually takes to make it work. We start by unpacking the romance myths you grew up with: the movies,  the cultural scripts that shaped what we expected love to feel like. We dig into why intensity gets mistaken for depth, and how dating apps and social media have turned up the volume on the fantasy. Then we get into what real love actually requires — and it's less glamorous than the movies suggest. Seeing your partner clearly (flaws and all), learning to repair after conflict, staying yourself while staying connected, and choosing each other on the ordinary days, not just the electric ones. We close with practical wisdom for navigating love in her generation: how to tell the difference between a relationship that's stretching you and one that's hurting you, and how thinking about the long game can quietly reshape the choices she makes right now.
