What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

Love this podcast. I’ve been listening and using her workout app for over 3 years. She’s real and keeps things simple and true. No crazy diet talk, no fluff. Just real and super helpful. As a 49 yo woman in perimenopause I highly recommend!

StephDGC · Aug 2026

This is seriously an amazing podcast. Every episode is like a pep talk in my ear. I just discovered Embrace Your Real about a month ago and I wish I had discovered it sooner. I get so much information out of every episode whether it’s about workouts, macro counting, mental health, positivity, body image, self image and so much more. Julie’s voice is so soothing, in my opinion, and the podcast is well edited and always organized and easy to listen to. Keep it up forever, Julie!

LM31211 · Aug 2026

I’ve been listening to this podcast for the past couple of years and love that Julie is relatable, real and gives great insights for balancing life and overall health. I love her connection with her faith and bringing that into the balance as well. My only complaint is how often she pushes her Movement with Julie program. Mentioning it once in a podcast or every few podcasts is plenty but I feel like over the past year the program is heavily pushed much more than it used to be. That being said, it doesn’t deter me from listening as she’s still my favorite podcast but sometimes fast forward 30 seconds to avoid it every time to talks about it when it happens a few times in a podcast. Thank you Julie for continuing to keep me motivated and helping me stay accountable when life chaos starts to get in the way!

Girl I have thanked the good lord above for this podcast. I am forever sharing episodes with my friends and family. It keeps me on track especially when I’m feeling like life is overwhelming. It’s a nice reminder that we are human ;) but can still get back on track!! Thanks for all the wisdom, encouragement and guidance! It’s been a game changer!!
