info_outlineIn this episode, I chat with Julie Watson, health and wellness coach and author of the new book True Health: A Woman's Guide to Loving Her Body, Loving Her Life, and Loving Her God. Julie Watson’s journey, her "AHA" moments, her perspective shift, and her renewed relationship with her faith, brings so much inspiration and lessons on truly living a joyful life and finding your purpose. Julie overcame tough obstacles to find clarity and purpose including grief, anxiety and health issues temporarily derailing her, but eventually leading her to the life she was meant to live.
During our conversation we chat about:
- Working through grief, fears, anxiety and health issues and how they brought her to where she is in her life today.
- Turning to faith to provide guidance and support leads to feleing better, achieving optimal health and functionality, and fulfilling your purpose.
- Pushing past fear to lead the life you are meant to live.
- How leading with faith brings you the clarity, confidence and direction to lead the lives we are meant to lead.
Powerful Insight:
- “The biggest shift for me happened to me when I realized that actually my biggest fear is that my life will not matter, that I will not have lived out my purpose!… It would be worse for me to not step into who I’m called to be and push past that fear then myself be stopped by all the other fears in my life….that is what really has inspired me to keep on moving forward.”
- “As I’ve focused more on my calling, it isn’t so much now that I’m working from a place of fear. I think the closer I’ve grown in my relationship with God, the more I want to be the woman that he wants me to be out of love for Him not out of fear anymore. I love that he has changed that desire of my heart. I am no longer operating from a place of “I should”…all of these feelings of what I should be doing with my life and how it should be run. But instead focusing on “I want to” and “I choose to” because I love Him. And He knows what’s best for me.”
- “Sometimes we get so stuck in the doing, and the pushing, and the going that we forget that we can enjoy it. You know, we can enjoy the journey. That there’s joy in it. That there’s joy, sometimes not in all the work, but there are moments and there are people that bring us joy, so yeah.. that is something I definitely feel has been a bigger part of my life.”
Tips to move you forward on your journey:
- Set aside some quiet time every morning – even if it’s just 5 minutes. “It gets you in the right mindset and sets your day off. It’s hard to really put a focus on your dreams if immediately you are just, you know, responding to everyone else. You’re not giving yourself that clear focus for the day.” Your journey is about you, so start your day fulfilling your needs, focusing on you and the dreams you have for yourself!
- Be in the word of God – to strengthen your faith read the word of God. Build your relationship with your faith. There are so many words of motivation that can help you on your journey and bringing you closer in your faith to live more our of hope and love. During your quiet time in the morning, spend time praying, seeking guidance and clarity. Turn your worries over to your faith and know the truth about your life and your journey.
- Trade in your judgement for curiosity – “Being ok with being on the journey. None of us is perfect. We are always becoming who it is that we are meant to be. We are never going to reach that and stop growing. So be gentle with yourself. Show yourself grace, treat yourself like you would your best friend. If you wouldn’t say something to your best friend don’t say it to yourself. Be ok with learning from mistakes. We all make them. No one is perfect.”
