  We Don’t Have to Keep Doing It This Way - The Rules You’re Allowed to Stop Following 27.09.2026 8นาที

  How many rules are you still following that you never actually chose? Maybe you learned that family comes first no matter how they treat you. Maybe ending a decades-long friendship feels wrong simply because of your history together. Perhaps you've been taught that being exhausted means you're working hard enough, saying no makes you selfish, or keeping the peace is more important than speaking up. At some point, we have to ask ourselves: Do I actually believe this, or have I just been carry...

  Can You Actually Rewire Your Brain? 26.09.2026 7นาที

  We hear people talk about “rewiring your brain” all the time, but what does that actually mean? And can we really change thought patterns and behaviors that have been with us for years? In this episode of Brave Moves, I’m digging into neuroplasticity and what it tells us about our ability to change. Our brains continue to adapt based on our experiences and the things we repeatedly do. That matters when you start thinking about some of the thoughts and reactions that have become so familiar we...

  Maybe You Don’t Need More Talent. You Need More Reps 25.09.2026 8นาที

  What if the thing holding you back isn’t a lack of talent? Maybe you’re not bad at sales. Maybe you haven’t had enough conversations yet. Maybe you’re not terrible on camera. Maybe you’re simply inexperienced. Maybe confidence isn’t something you need to find before you begin. Maybe it’s something you build by collecting evidence that you can do hard and unfamiliar things. In this episode of Brave Moves, I’m exploring an idea inspired by Geoff Colvin’s book Talent Is Overrated: getting better...

  I Don’t Feel My Age: Making Peace With Getting Older 24.09.2026 9นาที

  Have you ever said your age out loud and thought, “Wait…how did THAT happen?” Getting older is inevitable, but our relationship with aging can get complicated. There are the physical changes, the aches and pains, the doctor appointments, watching our parents age, and that growing awareness that time isn’t unlimited. Then there’s the pressure, especially for women, to somehow keep getting older without ever actually looking older. In this episode of Brave Moves, I’m talking about what happens ...

  The Second Act: Redefining Success in Your Next Chapter 23.09.2026 11นาที

  What happens when the success you spent years building is no longer the success you want? For much of our lives, success is defined by external milestones. We pursue the promotion, build something secure, and become the person others trust to handle responsibility. Eventually, those measurements may stop telling the whole story. In this episode of Brave Moves, Julie explores what it means to redefine success during your next chapter. She discusses why wanting something different does not make...

  The City That Taught Me to Dream Bigger 22.09.2026 10นาที

  Have you ever returned to a place from your past and suddenly recognized an earlier version of yourself? After spending several days in New York City for Podcast Movement, Julie found herself reflecting on the city where she grew up and the woman she was becoming there. While sitting in a café waiting for a cold brew and a New York bagel, she noticed a young woman dressed for work. Something about her brought Julie back to her own thirties, when she was learning how to make an impression whil...

  Spicy Is Where Confidence Starts to Grow 21.09.2026 6นาที

  A spicy move makes you nervous, but you can still imagine yourself doing it. You may feel the urge to postpone it or suddenly decide that reorganizing your desk is urgent, but underneath those nerves, you can also feel a little excitement. In this third episode of the Mild, Spicy, or Extra Hot series, Julie explores the spicy zone. This is where you move beyond what feels familiar without pushing yourself so far that you become overwhelmed. Confidence rarely arrives before the action. It deve...

  Mild Does Not Mean You Are Playing Small 18.09.2026 10นาที

  Mild gets a bad reputation. We hear the word and assume it means safe, boring, or afraid. But choosing a smaller move can be an intentional way to begin, especially when the bigger version of your goal has kept you frozen. In this follow-up to “Are You Mild, Spicy, or Extra Hot?” Julie explores why confidence grows through actions we can complete, process, and eventually repeat. A mild move should still create some discomfort, but it does not need to send you into panic or leave you so overwh...

  Are You Mild, Spicy, or Extra Hot? 17.09.2026 7นาที

  Have you ever ordered something extra spicy and immediately realized you made a terrible mistake? Your eyes are watering, you cannot feel your tongue, and instead of enjoying your meal, you are simply trying to survive it while pretending everything is fine. Sometimes we approach personal growth the same way. In this episode of Brave Moves, Julie introduces the idea of mild, spicy, and extra-hot moves. She explores why we often assume that the person taking the biggest risk is automatically t...

  Can You Carry the Success You Asked For? 16.09.2026 14นาที

  Most of us are taught how to pursue success. We learn how to set goals, work harder, grow the business, earn the promotion, and reach the next milestone. What we are rarely taught is how to carry everything that comes after the achievement. Success can bring more decisions, expectations, responsibilities, and pressure. From the outside, it may look like everything is going beautifully. On the inside, you may feel like you are carrying twelve grocery bags simply because you refuse to make two ...

  Loving Without a Guarantee 15.09.2026 10นาที

  C. S. Lewis wrote, “There is no safe investment. To love at all is to be vulnerable.” Loving another person always involves risk. We can be thoughtful, loyal, generous, and honest, and still experience disappointment, change, rejection, or loss. After we have been hurt, it can feel safer to protect ourselves by sharing less, trusting less, and keeping people at a comfortable distance. But there is an important difference between healthy boundaries and emotional armor. In this episode of Brave...

  Back to Basics: A Simple Framework to Finish the Year Strong 14.09.2026 7นาที

  As we move closer to the end of 2026, it can be tempting to focus on everything we have not accomplished yet. We start counting unchecked boxes, revisiting abandoned goals, and convincing ourselves that we need to do more. But what if finishing the year well is not about doing more? What if it is about returning to the basics and recognizing what is already working? In this episode, I’m sharing a simple framework to help you look honestly at where you are, give yourself credit for what you ha...

  Stop Managing Everyone Else’s Feelings 13.09.2026 7นาที

  Do you say yes because you genuinely want to help, or because you cannot tolerate the possibility of someone being disappointed? In this episode of Brave Moves: Daily-ish, Julie explores why another person’s disappointment does not automatically mean you have been selfish or unkind. Sometimes it simply means they wanted a different answer. Julie discusses the difference between caring about someone’s feelings and making yourself responsible for managing them. She also explains why a thoughtfu...

  What Do You Say to Yourself When You Struggle? 12.09.2026 6นาที

  What do you say to yourself after you make a mistake, miss a goal, or have an unproductive day? In this episode of Brave Moves: Daily-ish, Julie explores why self-kindness is not the same as making excuses or avoiding responsibility. We can acknowledge what needs to change without turning one difficult moment into a judgment about who we are. Julie also challenges the belief that criticism is necessary for motivation. A harsh inner voice may create pressure, but it rarely creates the safety w...

  Stop Auditioning for Belonging 11.09.2026 7นาที

  Have you ever changed your personality, minimized your success, or ignored your needs to make other people more comfortable? In this episode of Brave Moves: Daily-ish, Julie explores the difference between fitting in and genuinely belonging. Fitting in can leave us constantly monitoring and editing ourselves, while belonging gives us space to be honest, imperfect, and fully human. Julie shares why setting boundaries or expressing your needs may change some relationships, and why that does not...

  What Four Unlikely Friends Teach Us About Life 10.09.2026 4นาที

  Some of the simplest stories carry the messages we need most. In this episode of Brave Moves, Julie reflects on the wisdom found in Charlie Mackesy’s The Boy, the Mole, the Fox and the Horse. Through the journey of four unlikely friends, the story explores courage, kindness, vulnerability, friendship, and the importance of allowing others to walk beside us. Many of us pride ourselves on being capable and independent. However, being strong does not mean carrying everything alone. Sometimes the...

  Why We Feel Sorry for Ourselves (And the Brave Move Out of It) 09.09.2026 8นาที

  Feeling sorry for yourself isn’t a character flaw — it’s a signal. In this episode of Brave Moves, Julie DeLucca-Collins breaks down why self-pity shows up (control, grief, exhaustion, and old patterns), five practical ways to interrupt the loop when you catch yourself in it, and the one brave move that actually gets you unstuck: getting radically honest about what you really want. If you’re a midlife entrepreneur who’s tired of the “why me” spiral, this episode gives you a clear, doable way ...

  Going with the Flow 08.09.2026 5นาที

  What does it really mean to go with the flow when life throws you a curveball? In this episode of Brave Moves, Julie DeLucca-Collins shares a personal story from a recent trip with friends, where a canceled flight became an unexpected lesson in grace, adaptability, and emotional control. Julie unpacks why the ability to roll with the punches isn’t passivity, it’s courage. She explores how much energy we lose being upset about things outside our control, and why releasing that grip is one of...

  LIve From Key West Brave Moves Ramblings 06.09.2026 6นาที

  Sometimes life does not follow the script. People disappoint us, plans change, the lights literally go out, and suddenly we have a choice to make. I recorded this episode of Brave Moves Daily-ish outside Shrimp Boat Sound in Key West, with boats, friends, roosters, and all the wonderfully imperfect background noise that comes with recording an episode in the middle of an adventure. After a storm knocked out the power during dinner the night before, I found myself thinking about expectations. ...

  You Don’t Need to Know Why to Begin Healing 04.09.2026 12นาที

  Have you ever believed that if you could just understand why something happened, you would finally be able to move on? Why did they make that choice? Why didn’t they tell the truth? Why did the relationship end? Why wasn’t your effort valued? Searching for answers can help us learn and heal. But sometimes, the question “Why?” keeps us emotionally attached to an experience long after it has stopped giving us anything useful. In this episode of Brave Moves, Julie DeLucca-Collins explores the di...
