This podcast has always been a place where more of my personal journey has been shared, sometimes in snippets, sometimes in a full episode. What I do know without a shadow of doubt is that it's taken until now to really feel - out of the fray and into a new life so to speak and if that doesn't call for an episode as well as a firm stake in the ground that says hey we get to celebrate these milestones too - I don't kn...

This week on the podcast I answer a FAQ that has come though - and in true Julie style unpack so much more - how do we know if something is healthy for us? How do we actually just know what to eat? Why is it all so hard? This is one not to miss especially if you are needing some love and inspiration in your food journey!
