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 decad... more

  • Life line

    This summer I’ll be coming up on 2 years postpartum, 1 year post brain surgery and 4 months post early miscarriage.

    I’ve been a long time listener of EYR and in the last couple years it’s helped me continue to have compassion for and wisdom in how to care for my body and recover well.

    Combined with doing MWJ workouts, Julie, you’ve been a lifeline to me in this season. Thank you 🫶🏻

  • Second review because one is not enough

    Miss Julie, my internet BFF. I’ve had different chapters in my life the past 4 years but one thing that has been consistent is you! Your podcasts, your Movement with Julie app, and your IG. You’re the one constant thing that grounds me and motivates me. Forever grateful for you!

  • Love this podcast!

    I’ve been listening to this podcast for the past couple of years and love that Julie is relatable, real and gives great insights for balancing life and overall health. I love her connection with her faith and bringing that into the balance as well.

    My only complaint is how often she pushes her Movement with Julie program. Mentioning it once in a podcast or every few podcasts is plenty but I feel like over the past year the program is heavily pushed much more than it used to be. That being said,... more

  • Just Listen!!

    Julie- where were you when I was 20!! (Learning to talk LOL). As a woman who just turned 60 and have done various fitness programs on and off since college, I have learned so much from this podcast. I have listened to ALL of them and there is always something that makes me think OH that makes so much sense. I love that Julie gives you just honest truth and no gimmick and encourage listeners to search out information and do what is right for their season of life. Added bonus is your faith. So if... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

657: My Postpartum Fitness Journey Part 2
Q: How did you stay patient when the scale wasn't moving?
Her strategy centered on treating herself as a beginner again, embracing consistent, imperfect action over time, and celebrating small wins by testing on a regular basis (like trying on jeans monthly) rather than fixating on daily numbers.
657: My Postpartum Fitness Journey Part 2
Q: Did you start counting macros again or what does your diet look like?
She explains beginning protein tracking around October and maintaining a protein-forward approach, with careful attention to protein intake and overall calories during breastfeeding, transitioning to a higher protein diet (about 150-160g of protein per day) while managing hydration and fiber.
657: My Postpartum Fitness Journey Part 2
Q: Okay, question number one, what workouts did you do? Were they intense or more low impact?
She describes starting with deep core breathing and light dumbbell work soon after birth, then progressively returning with low-impact dumbbell routines, bodyweight movements, and a focus on rebuilding core strength while managing pelvic discomfort, eventually increasing frequency to several days a week as recovery progressed.
655: My Postpartum Fitness Journey Part 1
Q: Did you ever have moments where you wanted to give up?
There were moments of wanting a simplification like GLP-1 use, but the turning point came when her partner prompted a nutrition-focused 30-day plan, which revitalized progress.
655: My Postpartum Fitness Journey Part 1
Q: What was the hardest part of the whole process?
Balancing selflessness with personal fitness goals, managing business and stay-at-home parenting duties, and healing physically were all hard, but she emphasizes discipline over motivation.
