What does it mean to pursue health of mind, body, and spirit when the world feels loud, polarized, and oversimplified?

In this episode, Juli reflects honestly on the anxiety of meaning-making in a culture addicted to certainty. She explores why uncertainty is so uncomfortable for the brain, why influencer culture offers false safety, and how true health is built not through extreme protocols or borrowed confidence—but through simple, embodied, daily practices.

Drawing from neuroscience, spiritual direction, and lived experience, this conversation reframes health as capacity, wisdom as curiosity, and growth as a long walk rather than a quick fix.

Key Themes Covered

Why Uncertainty Triggers Anxiety

• The brain is a prediction organ; uncertainty activates the amygdala and threat response
• Ambiguity can feel more distressing than known negative outcomes
• This explains why certainty—real or false—feels soothing to the nervous system

Why Influencer Certainty Feels Comforting (But Isn’t Healing)

• Confidence lowers perceived cognitive load
• Simple answers reduce nervous system arousal—even if inaccurate
• Relief is not the same as regulation; certainty is not the same as truth

What Optimizing Health Actually Means

• Not eliminating questions, but increasing tolerance for them
• Supporting nervous system regulation and prefrontal cortex engagement
• Strengthening inner authority rather than outsourcing discernment

How Health Is Built

• Regulation before resolution
• Embodied awareness over external authority
• Simple, repeatable daily decisions
• Honoring questions as part of spiritual and psychological maturity

Spiritual Direction Insight

Henri Nouwen reminds us in Spiritual Direction that:

• Without questions, answers feel manipulative
• Without struggle, help feels like interference
• Without desire to learn, direction feels oppressive

Health—of mind, body, and spirit—grows where humility and curiosity are allowed to coexist.

Release What Is in the Past: The Neuroscience of Letting Go & Beginning Again

What if the reason you struggle to let go of the past isn’t weakness—but wiring?

As we step into a new year, many of us feel pressure to “move on,” set goals, and be positive—while still carrying emotional residue from what’s behind us. Old hurts. Lingering resentment. Stories that replay long after the moment has passed.

In this episode, we explore:

• Why the brain resists letting go—even of things that no longer serve us
• The neuroscience and psychology behind emotional attachment to the past
• Why release can feel like loss, grief, or identity threat
• How to integrate lessons without dragging the wound forward
• The meaning of Jubilee and why release is meant to be practiced, not rushed
• How a personal manifesto can help you begin the year with clarity, coherence, and calm

This episode is an invitation to release what belongs to the past, keep the wisdom, and step forward intentionally—mind, body, and spirit.

Every January, we’re encouraged to set new goals, create resolutions, and push ourselves toward change. And yet, so many well-intentioned resolutions quietly fade by February.

In this episode, I’m sharing a different approach—one that works with your brain, your nervous system, and your values instead of against them.

Rather than asking, “What should I do this year?”
We explore a more powerful question: “Who am I choosing to become?”

You’ll learn why a personal manifesto can be a more effective, sustainable alternative to traditional New Year’s resolutions—and how it can guide daily decisions, reduce overwhelm, and support real alignment in your health, habits, and calling.

We’ll talk about:

• Why New Year’s resolutions often fail (from a neuroscience perspective)
• How identity-based change creates lasting momentum
• What a personal manifesto is—and what it is not
• How clarity, courage, and calling shape better decisions
• A simple 60-second daily practice to stay aligned all year
• Why this approach supports mind, body, and spirit
• How this becomes a foundation for your healthiest year ever

This episode also serves as a jumpstart to the work we’ll be doing inside the Yes Society in January—where we focus on clarity, nervous system regulation, intentional habits, and whole-life well-being.

If you’re tired of starting over every January and ready for a more grounded, life-giving way forward, this conversation is for you.
