Summary
What if, instead of focusing on what your body can’t do, you celebrated everything it can? This Thanksgiving week in the Embrace Your Real podcast, let’s shift from guilt and comparison to gratitude and abundance. Your fitness path is uniquely yours—why not find joy in it?
Gratitude is a powerful tool for transforming your mindset. By appreciating your body’s current strength and progress, you can let go of perfectionism and embrace consistency. Even small acts of thankfulness, like journaling or acknowledging daily wins, can elevate your self-confidence and enrich your journey toward health and happiness.
And don’t underestimate the power of quiet moments. Driving without distractions or savoring silence during your routine creates space for reflection and connection with life’s simple pleasures. It’s not about adding more to your plate—it’s about repurposing time you already have into meaningful moments.

| 0:00.0 | Hey there, beautiful human. You're listening to Embrace Your Real with me, Julie Ledbetter, |
| 0:05.4 | a podcast where I empower you to just be you. With each episode, I dish you a dose of real talk |
| 0:11.4 | and actionable advice for building your confidence, honoring your body, and unconditionally loving |
| 0:16.6 | your authentic self. Stay tuned if you're ready to embrace your real. Let's get and let's go. |
| 0:27.0 | Hello and welcome back to another episode on the Embrace Real podcast. I want to talk about |
| 0:32.2 | something that's often overlooked when it comes to reaching your fitness goals and that is |
| 0:36.8 | gratitude. And since it's Thanksgiving |
| 0:38.8 | week, it only feels natural to spend the week talking about gratitude, as it's really something that I |
| 0:43.8 | don't think many of us have enough of in our lives. It's easy to always feel like, you know, the grass |
| 0:48.8 | is greener on the other side and that everyone else has a better life or a better body or stronger or |
| 0:54.1 | fitter or whatever it is. |
| 0:55.5 | But when we really pause to be grateful for what we already have, I truly believe that something |
| 1:00.7 | shifts. Like we stop striving for more and instead we choose to find joy and contentment in the |
| 1:06.9 | present. Now this doesn't mean that you have to give up on working towards your goals. It just means that you approach them from a place of abundance rather than lack. And that's where we |
| 1:15.5 | want to be. So before we dive in, I want to share this review. It comes from Indy Gaffney. She gave a five-star |
| 1:21.9 | review and said, I found out about Movement with Julie from Pinterest. And I'm so glad that I did. Her Pinterest clips are so fun and |
| 1:28.8 | now I listen to the podcast and I actually just joined the Movement with Julie app. All these help |
| 1:33.0 | motivate me on my fitness journey and her kind words are so motivational. It is a must listen. |
| 1:38.3 | I love this so much. Thank you so much, Indy, for tuning into the podcast. And also, I'm so grateful that you found me over on |
| 1:45.6 | Pinterest. Shout out to my Pinterest crew. I know there's been a couple of reviews in the past |
| 1:49.8 | years from Pinterest. And so I'm so grateful that you have found not only the Pinterest page, |
| 1:56.2 | but join the app and are tuning into the podcast weekly. That makes me so, so happy. And thank you so much for |
