How Good It Can Get & The Inner Journey With Julia Linn

On this episode of The Empowered Feminine Podcast, Ciara chats with guest Julia Linn about the lifelong journey to health from the inside out.Julia Linn, born in 1957, is motivational speaker, best-selling author, online body & mindset coach, and a badass bodybuilder, winning first place in two NPC Masters Bikini competitions, and placing in 3 more. She has reimagined what it is to be a senior citizen at age 66.She has lived all over the world as a professor and instead of retiring at 65, she decided to get incredibly fit and compete in bodybuilding on stage. Her why:A childhood diabetic at age 11 which brought the following medical challenges where she has shaken hands with death twice: failed kidneys, diabetic blindness, heart disease, neuropathy, thyroidectomy. She was blessed to have a double organ transplant which saved her life at age 34 (cured the diabetes, gave her a working kidney), and then a triple cardiac bypass which again, saved her life at age 48.As she committed to a fitness mindset and vision of what she wanted her life to be like, the  physical transformation was profound – but so was the one on the inside - where you couldn’t see it. Because it inspired her that with her medical history and age she could have such a profound impact on her entire being through fitness, she became a certified personal trainer and mindset coach. She wants women in their 40s, 50s, 60, 70s to learn how to think differently about menopause, their bodies, and the toxic culture of weight loss women have grown up with. Because she says, “The world needs your bright light which cannot shine brightly unless you feel well.”She teaches the principles of transformation and self-reinvention through mindset, training and nutrition coming from a place of self-love and gratitude for your body, not the usual disgusted-by-my-body mindset. (I’m going on a diet Monday!) The vision is optimal, long term health, where weight loss is a happy side effect that is sustainable.Julia is certified by the INTERNATIONAL SPORTS SCIENCES ASSOCIATION (ISSA) as a Personal Trainer and Coach.
