Losing Weight without Losing Your Mind (formerly the More Mindful Podcast)

S3, E27: Are sweets really ever necessary in your diet?

Are sweets necessary? Maybe not for survival... but what about for a healthy relationship with food? In this episode, Julia explores how labeling foods as “unnecessary” can quietly create shame, scarcity, and obsession around eating. Through a real client coaching moment, she invites you to rethink what “necessary” actually means and whether allowing fun foods might be an essential part of feeling balanced, satisfied, and free around food.  🍋 Apply for my 1:1 private coaching program: HERE [https://www.eatmorewithjulia.com/coaching]  🌟 Take the quiz: What's actually blocking YOUR weight loss success?

S3, E26: I'm a 75 Hard Hater... And I'm Doing It Anyway (Sorta)

Julia is talking all about her postpartum “75 Rebuild.” After deciding traditional 75 Hard doesn’t fit her definition of sustainable health, Julia created her own version: realistic habits, flexible structure, and goals that actually make sense for this season of life. She shares: * Why she’s focusing on gaining muscle instead of losing weight * How she built a challenge around consistency instead of perfection * The problem with extreme “all or nothing” health plans * How curiosity, mindfulness, and small habit shifts create lasting change If you’ve ever felt stuck between wanting results and not wanting to burn yourself out, this episode is for you. 🍋 Apply for my 1:1 private coaching program: HERE [https://www.eatmorewithjulia.com/coaching]  🌟 Take the quiz: What's actually blocking YOUR weight loss success?

S3, E25: How Courtney Transformed Her Health, Tackled Emotional Eating, and Lost 12 lbs in 2025 (Client Story)

With the Eat More With Julia Mother’s Day Giveaway running April 28–May 4, 2026 (winner will be announced May 10), it felt like the perfect time to bring back this incredible episode as a re-air: After gaining 50 lbs in a short period of time and facing a bout of depression, Courtney struggled with where to start in her health journey. She desired weight loss in the long run, but more than anything, she first wanted to feel so confident in her health habits and relationship to food as someone who lived a super stressful life as a business owner and had turned to emotional eating in the past. In this conversation, Julia and Courtney talk about how little changes turned into big waves, like becoming someone who moves her body consistently, who experiences way less period cramps, and who understands how to eat with confidence (and avoid sugar cravings) - plus, how going to therapy while working with a nutrition coach unlocked even more growth. Even though she wasn't focusing on it directly, she dropped 12 lbs in just the first few months from making small changes over time. Courtney’s story is for the woman who’s wondering how she’ll ever get out of the current funk she’s in, where she feels like nothing’s ever worked and she has no little time to give… she’s proof that you don’t need to feel ready to transform your life!! 🍋 Apply for my 1:1 private coaching program: HERE [https://www.eatmorewithjulia.com/coaching]  🌟 Take the quiz: What's actually blocking YOUR weight loss success?

This isn’t about doing more or pushing harder. It’s about understanding what’s actually going on and why what seems like the right move might be the exact thing holding you back.
