Wellness can easily start feeling like a full-time job.

Too many habits. Too much information. Too much pressure to “do it all.”

In this episode, I’m not sharing what’s trendy or impressive.

I’m sharing the wellness habits I actually keep; the ones that stayed after years of trying what didn’t.

This episode is for women with full, demanding lives who want wellness to feel supportive, not heavy.

1. Why wellness often feels overwhelming, even when you’re doing “all the right things”
2. The shift from adding habits to keeping what actually works
3. How a weekly brain download can instantly reduce mental overload
4. Why hydration and sleep are foundations, not afterthoughts
5. Eating clean most of the time as a way to support your nervous system
6. Daily movement as a form of self-trust, not discipline
7. The role of quality social interaction in a sustainable, fulfilling life
8. How to choose one habit that feels light enough to keep this week

You don’t need to do everything.

You just need to keep what supports you.

As you listen, notice which habit feels the easiest to return to right now, and start there.

In this insightful and warmly candid episode of Good in Motion, Juliette welcomes Liz Carrillo, an operations consultant and money coach who shares her personal journey from financial uncertainty to empowerment. Together, they dismantle the taboos around money, revealing how honest conversations about finances can bring clarity, confidence, and control—especially for overwhelmed women entrepreneurs navigating the delicate balance between business and personal life.

Liz opens up about her early challenges with debt, the importance of developing a healthy money mindset, and the practical steps she took to create a personalized financial plan she calls a “money map.” Their conversation touches on the realities of transitioning into entrepreneurship, the necessity of planning for uncertainty, and the power of reframing financial language to create a more supportive relationship with money.

Throughout the episode, Juliette and Liz offer grounded wisdom on honouring individual needs and timelines, embracing the slow and steady path to financial well-being, and celebrating milestones in ways that nourish the soul rather than deplete the wallet. This episode is a compassionate invitation to slow down, reflect, and build a money story that truly supports the life and business you want to create.

Meet our guest:

Liz Carrillo is an Operations Strategist and Money Coach for women. Her journey with money started in 2012, when she was a recent college grad juggling two part-time jobs and over $20K in debt. Instead of continuing to avoid her finances, she made a choice to face the truth and create her first money plan, a decision that shifted everything from fear and avoidance to clarity and confidence.

Today, Liz helps women and entrepreneurs do the same: move from financial chaos to financial confidence. Through a blend of strategy, soul, and mindset, she empowers her clients to build first-generation wealth, run businesses with ease, and create legacies rooted in what matters most.

In this heartfelt and grounding episode of Good in Motion, Juliette sits down with Rachel Richards, a family filmmaker and photographer whose work invites overwhelmed women entrepreneurs to slow down and savour the delicate, fleeting moments of family life. Together, they explore how shifting from a perfectionist mindset toward embracing the unpredictable nature of children and family creates space for authentic connection and memory-making.

Rachel opens up with vulnerability about her own journey—leaving a high-pressure healthcare career to pursue her creative calling, wrestling with burnout, and the transformative power of breath work and ritual in re-centreing herself. She shares how her approach to family films captures not just images, but the textured feelings and genuine interactions that meaningfully document where a family is in time.

This conversation is a warm invitation to let go of rigid expectations, to embrace presence and imperfection, and to nurture practices that restore energy and clarity. For any woman entrepreneur seeking balance, groundedness, and a path back to creative joy, Rachel’s story and insights offer compassionate guidance and soulful inspiration that linger long after the episode ends.

Takeaways:

• Slowing down creates space to be fully present with your family and yourself, deepening connection and joy.
• Letting go of perfectionism invites more authentic creativity and reduces frustration in both business and life.
• Child-led moments hold the most genuine emotion and foster real memories beyond posed expectations.
• Burnout often stems from carrying old work habits into new ventures, signaling the need for an identity shift.
