Today on episode 20 we’ve got my good friend Juli Bauer of PaleOMG! If you haven’t heard of her (you’ve probably been living under a rock) Juli is a do all the things kind of person – she started her own business in blogging world for paleo food, fitness, fashion, beauty, and her freaking adorable dog, Jackson! Today we’re going much deeper than food, fashion, and diving into Juli’s relationship with exercise, stress, food, and her body – and the impact of negative body image and social media on our lives.
Like many people, Juli also used to have pretty bad body image issues, and we go into her story of how she came out of it – and what she does today when she still deals with them, since fashion and her body is such a big part of her business now.
In this episode, we talk about:
- The evolution of Juli’s exercise routine over the years
- Her experience with giving herself adrenal fatigue and how she healed
- When you’re stressed, getting in an intense workout isn’t always the best thing for you
- How to know if you’re supporting your body enough in times of stress with food and recovery from exercise – and how to support your body in stressful times
- How we all struggle with negative body image sometimes (even if you have a million abs like Juli), and how social media can make that struggle even worse
- Practical tips on how to love yourself more even on those tough days – whether it’s positive affirmations or a spray tan to treat yourself!

“Positive affirmations are so important. The brain is a crazy thing – you can talk it into hating yourself, but you can also talk it into loving yourself; and you just have to make those decisions every day; even when you don’t believe them, and talk your brain into believing it.” – Juli Bauer, Episode 20
