Share Good JuJu Positivity Podcast: Mindset, Motivation & Real Conversations for Growth-minded Women

Episode 50: Are you feeling stuck? Listen to this and learn how to easily Move It Forward

Feeling stuck can look different for everyone. Sometimes it’s procrastination. Sometimes it’s overwhelm. And sometimes it’s quietly talking yourself out of the life you actually want.
In this episode, Julie opens up about the mental spiral of overthinking, self-doubt, and waiting until everything feels “perfect” before taking action. She shares how shifting her mindset—and using her Move It Forward Method—helped her stop focusing on doing everything at once and start focusing on simply moving forward.
You’ll walk away with:
✨ A new perspective on what being “stuck” really means
✨ 3 simple ways to create momentum again
✨ Encouragement to take messy, imperfect action
✨ A reminder that small steps still count
Because clarity doesn’t come before action…
it comes from action.
If you’ve been waiting for the right moment to start, this is your reminder: you don’t need the whole plan. You just need the next step 💛

Episode 49: If you're new here...THIS IS ME

If you’re new here…this is me 
 
In this episode, I’m reintroducing myself and sharing the heart behind Share the Good Juju. I talk about who I am, what this podcast really means to me, and why I almost didn’t start it in the first place.
 
I’m a multi-passionate entrepreneur, a lifelong Wisconsin girl, a thrifter, and someone who’s constantly learning, growing, and figuring things out in real time. This space isn’t about having it all together—it’s about being honest about the messy middle and finding light in everyday life.
 
We’ll talk about mindset, comparison, confidence, feeling stuck, starting over, and all the little moments that somehow teach us the biggest lessons. You’ll also hear pieces of my real life woven in—thrifting, entrepreneurship, wellness, and the thoughts that don’t always get said out loud.
 
If you’ve ever questioned yourself, felt like you’re not “enough,” or wondered if anyone would even care to listen…you’re not alone.
 
This is a place for real conversations, small shifts, and showing up as you are.
 
I’m so glad you’re here. Let’s share the good juju

Episode 48 When Comparison Creeps in. Healing Little Julie and Finding My Voice

In this deeply personal episode of Share the Good Juju Positivity Podcast, I open up about something so many of us experience but rarely talk about — comparison. I share how scrolling through other creators made me question whether this podcast was good enough, whether anyone was even listening, and whether my voice really mattered. But what I discovered surprised me… it wasn’t confident adult Julie doubting herself — it was little Julie, carrying old stories about not being enough. This episode is about recognizing those inner voices, healing your younger self, and choosing to keep showing up anyway. If you’ve ever questioned your worth or compared your journey to someone else’s, this one is for you. 💛
xo Julie :)

Dr. Meghan's Positivity Tips:
What are you feeding yourself? Food is not the only thing we take in on a daily basis- what are you listening to on the radio? Who are you listening to on the phone? What stories do you tell yourself? Be intentional about what you consume.
Start early. Get up and move. Twenty minutes of intentional exercise each morning is a game changer.
Put it out in the universe. Write down five things you are thankful for every, single day– even if the only thing you are thankful for is the pen you are using to write. Starting with gratitude sets the tone for the day.
