Becoming Calm, Connected, and Confident with Food and Life

In this powerful and deeply human conversation, Julie sits down with master certified coach, elite endurance athlete, and repeat guest Jane Pilger to explore what confidence really looks like when it is built from self-trust, compassion, and connection rather than perfection or control.

Jane shares how learning to trust her inner GPS transformed her work as a coach, her relationship with food, and her identity as an athlete, including qualifying for the Boston Marathon. Together, Julie and Jane unpack why so many women feel stuck, why change feels unsafe, and how patterns we think are holding us back are often patterns of protection trying to keep us safe.

This episode dives into food freedom, inner child work, nervous system awareness, and why healing is not about arriving at a destination but becoming someone new along the way. You will also hear practical ways to build confidence deposits, reconnect with yourself, and stop trying to do everything alone.

If you have ever felt frustrated with yourself, caught in old habits, or convinced you were stuck, this episode will help you see yourself differently.

What we cover in this episode:

• Why confidence is built through trust, not scripts or perfection
• How to create a clear vision without attaching your worth to the outcome
• What patterns of protection really are and why they make sense
• Why healing and growth require community, not isolation
• How to build safety for your inner child without overwhelm
• The role of identity in lasting change, in food, business, and life
• Why small, safe steps create more progress than all-or-nothing change
