Burn the Rulebook Episode 4 gave me the opportunity to have a raw, heart-opening conversation with Julie Boyd therapist, social worker, and author of Bare Bones and Divinely Badass for a soul-stirring discussion on healing, sobriety, and the messy magic of reclaiming your life from old roles and patterns. Key Takeaways: Sobriety & Simplicity: Julie shares how quitting drinking three years ago cracked her wide open, bringing clarity and anchoring her into peace, heart-centered living, and radical honesty. What once felt like boredom was actually the sensation of peace. Burning the People-Pleaser: She unapologetically calls out the layers of people-pleasing and how it stems from early conditioning. Julie names the shift from sacrifice to true service and reflects on how she had to stop betraying herself to be liked or accepted. Real Talk on Resistance: Together, Misty and Julie challenge the concept of "resistance," exploring whether it's truly resistance or just limited capacity. Julie breaks down how perfectionism and performance keep women stuck in cycles of burnout and self-abandonment. Embodied Therapy & Nervous System Wisdom: Julie describes her unique approach to healing that blends talk therapy with somatic practices, yoga, and energy work. She guides her clients to befriend their nervous systems, connect to their hearts, and lead with self-compassion. Reclaiming Your Life After Rupture: Julie opens up about pivotal moments that cracked her open from a suicide attempt at 14, to leaving harmful relationships, to hitting rock bottom with a DUI that led her to write Bare Bones. She shares what it means to write from the rawness and live without numbing. Divinely Badass Women: Her second book Divinely Badass features interviews with women over 40 about what success really means. Spoiler alert: it's never about money or fame. It's about truth, love, community, and connection. Simple Sacred Practices: Julie emphasizes the power of small daily rituals. Her tip? Stay in bed for five minutes each morning. Breathe. Ask your heart: What's one thing I can do to fill my cup today? That's where soulful leadership starts. 💬 Soul Truth Drop: "I had to stop performing and start listening to my own damn heart. That's where the truth lives." – Julie Boyd 📚 Books Mentioned and available on Amazon: Bare Bones: Secrets, Lies, and Substances Divinely Badass 📞 Work With Julie: Connect with her on Insta: @growingwithjulieb ✨ Final Invitation: What if you lived today like it was your last? Would you rush? Perform? Or would you slow down and let your heart lead? __________ If you enjoyed the content, please consider subscribing to the podcast and leaving a review on your favourite platform.
