| 18 May 2023 | How Good It Can Get & The Inner Journey With Julia Linn | 01:17:21 | |
On this episode of The Empowered Feminine Podcast, Ciara chats with guest Julia Linn about the lifelong journey to health from the inside out. Julia Linn, born in 1957, is motivational speaker, best-selling author, online body & mindset coach, and a badass bodybuilder, winning first place in two NPC Masters Bikini competitions, and placing in 3 more. She has reimagined what it is to be a senior citizen at age 66. She has lived all over the world as a professor and instead of retiring at 65, she decided to get incredibly fit and compete in bodybuilding on stage. Her why: A childhood diabetic at age 11 which brought the following medical challenges where she has shaken hands with death twice: failed kidneys, diabetic blindness, heart disease, neuropathy, thyroidectomy. She was blessed to have a double organ transplant which saved her life at age 34 (cured the diabetes, gave her a working kidney), and then a triple cardiac bypass which again, saved her life at age 48. As she committed to a fitness mindset and vision of what she wanted her life to be like, the physical transformation was profound – but so was the one on the inside - where you couldn’t see it. Because it inspired her that with her medical history and age she could have such a profound impact on her entire being through fitness, she became a certified personal trainer and mindset coach. She wants women in their 40s, 50s, 60, 70s to learn how to think differently about menopause, their bodies, and the toxic culture of weight loss women have grown up with. Because she says, “The world needs your bright light which cannot shine brightly unless you feel well.” She teaches the principles of transformation and self-reinvention through mindset, training and nutrition coming from a place of self-love and gratitude for your body, not the usual disgusted-by-my-body mindset. (I’m going on a diet Monday!) The vision is optimal, long term health, where weight loss is a happy side effect that is sustainable. Julia is certified by the INTERNATIONAL SPORTS SCIENCES ASSOCIATION (ISSA) as a Personal Trainer and Coach. Her career includes 40+ years as an educator at the university level. She has given keynote talks and led workshops at seminars across the globe on personal development since 1994. Julia wrote a book, MY POWER DECADE, about the “how come” of getting fit which became a bestseller in Women’s Health. She founded body beauty love life™ to coach “Queenagers” online from anywhere in the world. In this episode, you will learn more about:

Join us on the latest episode of the Empowered Feminine Podcast, where I, Ciara Foy, dive into a journey of building confidence from within. This episode is particularly close to my heart as I share my personal experiences with breast implant removal and how it has profoundly shaped my perspective on body image and self-acceptance. I open up about the fears and uncertainties I faced and how, through this experience, I’ve learned to deeply appreciate my body’s resilience and strength.

This journey has been an eye-opener for me, revealing the true meaning of self-trust and acceptance. I also touch on the importance of controlling the controllable aspects of our lives, emphasizing the power of self-care and the impact it has on our overall well-being. This episode is not just about my story; it's an open invitation to all women facing similar challenges. I offer support and encouragement, stressing that confidence is built in the small actions we take every day. It's about aligning our actions with our values and beliefs, and most importantly, being true to ourselves. I also open up about my personal struggles and triumphs, showing that resilience and self-worth are key to building genuine confidence. I talk about the depth of my confidence, which goes much beyond physical attributes, and how embracing aging and body positivity has been a crucial part of my journey.
