Welcome to Embrace Your Real with me, Julie Ledbetter, a podcast where I empower you to just be you. My hope for you is to stop hating your body, picking a part every flaw, questioning your worth, doubting your strength, making excuses, and constantly starting over. I get it, I’ve been there. I know it feels like an impossible cycle to break, but let me tell you: I’ve successfully broken the decade long struggle, and over the last 8 years I have helped thousands of other woman do the same. I know it’s possible and that’s why I am here to ensure you do, too! Every episode, I dish you a dose of real talk and actionable advice for building the body you want, creating unshakable confidence and embracing your authentic self.Each week I share my secrets on how to honor your body with movement, nourish your body with exactly what it needs, and give you transformative mental shifts that will help you show up for your life in a powerful way. Are you ready to embrace your real? Let's get it, let's go!

Positive energy and easy listening

This is one of my favorite podcasts! Love listening to Julie and her information is great! Thank you for being a positive influence

Such great information

This podcast is full of great reminders and such great information. Julie creates such a cheerful experience while listening. I’ve listened to every episode once then went back to save the golden nuggets that are reminders I can keep in my back pocket. Episode 5 ways to beat burn out was such a good reminder for me this morning while listening. I can’t begin to explain the positivity this podcast has on how taking care of ourselves is important. Not just physically but mentally. You won’t be disappointed in this podcast!

How do I love this podcast , let me count the ways

This amazing podcast really checks all the boxes. It is just long enough, but not too long and packed with positivity and actionable advice that anyone can implement right away. I am in a different phase of life than Julie, but I get so much out of this podcast from nutrition, exercise and mental health tips too. Her consistent messaging to nourish yourself and honor your body with movement works for every stage of life because Julie shares ways to rethink fitness and nutrition so it works for you, wherever you’re at. Wherever you are on your fitness journey, or any questions you have Julie has a podcast for that.

Love!

I’ve used Movement with Julie for a few years but have never been a Podcast girl until recently when I started 75 Hard. I’ve loved listening to Embrace Your Real during my outdoor workouts. It’s really spoken to me of where I am at this place in my life with my physical, mental and spiritual journey! Absolutely love it!

Love Love Love

Julie’s podcast are so amazing. I have really focused on a more positive mind set about my self worth and positive body image since listening. I now listen to my body more concerning workouts and give my body the rest and nutrition it needs. I feel so strong both physically and mentally!!! I look forward to listening to these inspiring podcasts! I also love the workout app. It’s so easy to use and the instruction and diversity with the workouts are amazing and easy to structure to fit in busy lifestyles. ❤️❤️💪

Uplifting

I have recently come across your podcast and I’ve seen a complete midshift. I love your up beat personality that makes me want to also be positive and talk positively about my body. I have also shared this podcast with a dear friend and she told me she’s also loving it. Thank you so much for my mind shift change. Thank you for giving me the motivation to honor the body God gave me.

Best podcast ever

I am not a podcast person, I love listening to music and jamming out. However, when I found Embrace Your Real, I haven’t stopped! I’ve been listening for a while, but haven't left a review yet because literally there are no words to describe this podcast and Julie! I struggle DAILY with body image and trying to eat right, but Julie is such a encouraging voice to let all of us know that we can! We can do anything we put our minds to. I love how she incorporates her Faith and God in these podcasts. She has motivated me to spend alone time with God and listen! I have a long way to go yet, but thanks to Julie, I know that I’ll reach my goals. I could probably write pages on how amazing this podcast is, but I’ll stop here! THANK YOU Julie for your knowledge, humbleness and faith! Keep doing what God gave you! Love you so dang much!

Amazing!

I started following Julie a couple years ago on Instagram and tik tok. Just doing the exercises that she posted. I finally just joined her program. I’ve been so consistent. Even if I’m only doing two workouts a week I’m doing I’m doing something for myself. Her podcast are so helpful. I love how she ties in her relationship with God. The only negative is that I should’ve started listening sooner!

Love listening!

I’ve been searching for a podcast like this to help build my confidence and knowledge on working out. I have finally found it and I love listening!
JrAce003

Much needed podcast!

This is my first time tuning in to the podcast and it came just in time as I was starting to feel bad about rest days. Julie gave us the science behind the importance of rest day and she made it quick and easy to listen. Great podcast that aligns well with her program!
jess_labella_00

Thankful for this program & podcast!

So thankful that I found the “Movement With Julie” program which is super affordable and has a great support group. It truly is the best. With so many influencers out there, I feel truly blessed that Julie caught my attention. She is wholesome, encouraging, challenging, but realistic. Her podcast keeps things simple & encouraging. Grateful to have a woman of faith influencing me when it comes to my body, bc I know she values health, but also knows its place in our lives. My husband & 17yo daughter have seen so many positive changes in my life, in addition to 45 lbs weight loss since July & bloodwork completely fixed. I don’t usually do reviews, but this I Highly recommend.

Helping me change

Julie thank you from the bottom of my heart for leading this amazing journey for me and so many other women. I lacked the confidence and commitment in the past , but listening to your real talk and following the MWJ app for exercise has changed my life. It’s only been a few months but I am seeing positive changes in all aspects of my life. My husband and friends are all noticing it too ! Thank you and happy new year ! Love Stephannie W

I’m a smarter, wiser woman listening to this podcast

Hi there! If you’re like me and get so much joy from exercise and eating healthy but may have found yourself on the border of having an unhealthy transactional relationship with movement and food during your journey, I highly recommend listening. I’m so grateful I found Julie and Embrace Your Real. Over the past two days, she has helped shift my mindset and I feel empowered to make small shifts to make sure I’m fueling my body optimally and also quiet my inner critic. Thank you so much for creating the content that will change lives for the better. Jenny W.

Thank you, Julie, for teaching us so well through this podcast!

Everything is aligning

I recently joined the MWJ workout app, I started listening to the podcast and most recently I have refound my faith. The podcast just aligns and encourages with all of my beliefs. When Julie speaks I feel like my dear best friend is talking words of wisdom to me. I’m always feeling lighter, breathing easier and less scattered brain after listening to these podcasts. Thank you so much Julie!

Love Julie’s message!

I followed Julie on IG for a year before I found this podcast and her movement with Julie app. I have to say every day I look forward to unique and challenging workouts in the app. SO much detail with the videos and how to log or choose an alternative exercise! But more importantly, I look forward to every podcast, the wonderful advice, her authenticity and positive messages! She covers a wide range of topics to help me feel good about myself! So empowering ! Thank you Julie!
BlackUnicorn1974

Just what I needed to hear.

I don’t know how Julie does it, but she seems to cover topics and I listen at just the right time. From how to lose weight properly, how to lift weight properly and how to just feel better about yourself in general, Julie covers it. I’ve also been following her workouts on her Movement With Julie app and I can feel myself getting stronger every day! If you’re looking for positive, uplifting content, this podcast is for you!

Bailey Granger

Favorite Podcast — ever.

The Holy Spirit speaks directly to my heart through Julie. Whether I receive understanding the moment I hear the episode or days later, I always get something. Thank you Julie for the practical advice and help in learning how to become self-disciplined. You have challenged my discipline both physically and spiritually, and I am up for it! This will always be my favorite podcast, because I am never not refreshed after listening!
TanaBanana84

Just Listen!!!

This podcast is the best! Julie is so uplifting, motivating, informative, encouraging…I truly believe me finding Julie via Instagram was a God send! God knew exactly what I needed at this time in my life and that was Julie! I have been using her movement with Julie app and listening to the podcast since March and I can truly say that Julie is changing lives! She has changed mine and for that I am so grateful!

Best podcast EVER!

I’m recently coming out of a exercise & meal planning slump. I stumbled upon Julie’s podcast and WOW at the difference! It’s crazy how every week her podcast seems to hit just the places I need some inspiration in my life. I am also finishing up my first week with the movement with Julie app & after spending the past year using a popular fitness app, I’m so glad I made the switch. I’m feeling happy, strong, and confident. Thanks Julie!
MPBailey1

Great podcast!

I stumbled onto this podcast after hearing Julie talk about reverse dieting with Charlene Johnson, and I have really been enjoying it so much! I have been working on repairing my relationship with food. I had been eating in a severe calorie deficit for a long time followed by bingeing and gaining the weight back. I am finally starting to eat more and accept the way I am. I have also subscribed to the Movement with Julie app and I love it! I feel so strong and empowered, and it is great to have a template to follow. Thanks and keep the valuable advice coming!

Just found you!!

Wow!! I just found this podcast randomly (except not, because I don’t think anything is random—but, God!) today!! It’s EXACTLY what I have been missing. Encouragement and truth swirled with a dose of practical help! Thanks Julie!! Excited to keep listening along!
She’s Laffin!

great learning tool!

After finding this podcast by using Julie’s workouts on pinterest, I have learned so much. I am so grateful that she puts this content out there so young people like me can learn from her life. I also love how she incorporates her faith into the podcast, a very refreshing thing with all the secular fitness voices out there.

Best Coach Award!

I’ve always had personality conflicts with fitness trainers, until I found Julie!!! When I stumbled over this podcast, I felt understood on many different levels - physically, mentally, and even spiritually. Julie puts things into perspective like I’ve never heard before. She makes the fitness industry simple to understand. This podcast is so reassuring when it comes to your overall well being. From fitness, to nutrition, to just being who God made you to be.. Julie helps you find your confidence.. and for that, I’m so grateful!
MrsCarrieK

Amazing, awesome and oh so much truth!

Listen, a friend referred Jen’s podcast to me a long time ago and backstory… I’m a serial dieter, a former workout-aholic and just have a totally messed up view of eating and body image! I decided after going from one extreme of being suuuuuper thin to a total anti diet gal, that this summer I’d commit to macro counting. I’ve dabbled with it before, but ultimately, gave up! I decided to give Jen’s podcast a listen (since I see it in my library every day 🫣) and me o my… I’ve listened to SO many episodes in the last two days! She GETS IT!! I’m excited for this macro journey, for a new mindset and for a shift with my “dieting” life! Every episode has a little or a LOT of nuggets of pure gold! Thank you, Jen!

Just what we need!

I absolutely love Julie’s podcast! This is exactly what girls and women need right now. When I’m having a difficult body image day, I turn on one of her podcasts and it’s like she is speaking directly to me. Calling out my thoughts and helping me counter them. She does an incredible job showing us how important mindset is & provides practical tips to help get where you want to be in a healthy way Thanks so much Julie!!! You are spreading so much light and love

Love the support!

Hey Julie! I stumbled across your workouts on Pinterest a while ago and it led me to your podcasts! I have been listening to them during all my workouts! I have always been pretty good at exercise and weight training however my nutrition was very much skewed. It wasn’t until I got married to my husband, who is in the military, that I realized I had to eat more. We were putting time in at the gym but I wasn’t quit convinced I needed to eat more until I started listening to your podcast. Now I am more confident in going to the gym with my husband and enjoying a good meal with him. Also, I LOVE how you incorporate faith and God into your podcast. You not only remind me that I need to nourish my body but also stop in the morning and read my Bible and pray<3 thank you sis!! God bless!

Love this podcast!

I’m so grateful to have found Julie on instagram, discovering her app, and then this podcast! Julie’s voice is so calming and each episode makes me feel better and better! I’ve struggled with disordered eating my whole life, I’m finally at a comfortable weight, and listening to this podcast and Julie’s past struggles is helping me learn to keep it off in a healthy, mindful way. I especially love the combo of faith and education! Thank you, Julie!
Odiflores

Great, motivating & spiritual

I love Julie’s soft calming voice and her messages are always delivered in a faith based mindset! I love to see and hear her deliver her fitness message with a diary based twist to it. So refreshing!

Amen, Julie!

Finding Julie’s work out app, podcast, and social media has changed my life for the better. Not only did she reconnect my relationship with God, she is helping me become a better woman for the sake of my daughter. My daughter now has a mom who loves herself and respects herself, and I cannot wait to teach her everything I’ve learned from Julie. I’m so thankful for you, Julie ❤️ PS, username pronounced annie_says_hi 😅

Two decades

This podcast is absolutely incredible!! I have spent 2 decades talking Negatively to myself, not being my own best friend, and not practicing gratefulness! Listening to Julie each day has saved my life in just a short amount of time and I am grateful! Thank you Julie for blessing us with your voice I love you so much!!

Great podcast! I either go all out or not enough. This helped to know what I should work on to build up to more workouts during the week. Thank you so much Julie!

JULIE <33

Hi Julie! I found you through pinterest and let me just say LOVE! You are the kindest human being and I appreciate all of the info you share. I am a lot like you and have tried -what feels like everything-. Your Podcasts bring me so much joy, especially the latest talking about protein, my husband always tells me to cut back on it because I will get “bulky” and for a minute I thought it was true. Im so so glad you explained it from the science POV. Keep up what you are doing because you are changing so many lives. May Allah bless you and your team with much success!! InShaAllah 🤍

Best Podcast!

Love this Podcast!!! I was introduced to Julie by a friend during a rough season of life. I was on a path of under-eating, over-training & daily negative body image talk. This podcast is a daily step to healing for me on my walks. So thankful for Julie! Even bought myself an Embrace Your Real Sweatshirt to wear on my daily walks!
_amiet

Love it!!!

I absolutely LOVE this podcast! Advice, tips, tricks, and a healthy dose of positivity. Julie’s podcast has been a game changer for me! I have struggled with self image & self doubt all my life. Julie’s words fill my cup & inspire me to embrace myself while doing all I can to be my best self… for me, my family, & the world. Thank you Julie for always delivering a real time message just when I need it! I’ve noticed I have more grace for myself & others. 💓
y r all the names taken?!

Worth your time!

This podcast is one of the very few that I will continue listening to. I’m generally not a huge fan of podcasts but lately I’ve been trying to find help for my weight/muscle gain journey. This is a big help for someone in my situation! There are so many episodes on so many different topics that I can just go through and choose the one that I need to hear at that time. Super helpful, I highly recommend!
SmileyCakeBake

Complete Mindset shift

I was such in the mindset to just be in weight loss mode and if I lose weight then I’ll be happy. But Julie lays it out perfectly, and helped me shift my mindset that I don’t need to deprive myself, and I can enjoy food and workout in a way that’s effective and actually helps me get the body I want. Love my new mindset and feeling strong

Always Hear What I Need

The podcast I listened today the difference between weight loss and changing your body composition spoke to me. It was like a light bulb went off and I said that’s what I want. Thank you for always sharing such insightful information in such a caring way! I am so glad I found your podcast!
Xandiiland

Practical and Inspiring

My favorite part of Embrace Your Real Podcast is the variety yet consistency of every episode. There is a great variety of very practical tips and information that can be used to grow in physical and mental health, but also many episodes focusing on mindset or inspiration. This podcast is a great place to come for both physical and mental tips, and easily implemented “hacks” as well as more long term work. Julie melts all aspects of health and happiness beautifully. Regardless of the episodes topic, I always finish listening with a sense of peace as well as a little fire under my booty to progress and grow. I also love her voice and find it very soothing. This podcast is definitely worth a try whether you’re just starting on a health or fitness journey or you’ve been at it for a while.

So thankful to have found this podcast

I am so thankful to have found this podcast! I love how she brings God into our fitness routines. He really is the reason for even being able to have these bodies to transform. Love this podcast!
