From Balance to Rhythms: How I Protect My Energy and Stay Aligned

From Balance to Rhythms: How I Protect My Energy and Stay Aligned

Author: Julie Solomon September 3, 2025 Duration: 24:27
I’m so excited to share this intimate Q&A episode with you! These are the kinds of questions I get asked most often inside my coaching containers, from close friends, and honestly—the ones I ask myself too. In this conversation, I open up about how to know when it’s time to evolve your message, the biggest leadership lessons I’ve learned this year, and what it really looks like to align your business with your highest self. I also dive into staying connected with your partner while building a business, why I don’t believe in balance (but do believe in rhythms), how my relationship with my body has shifted over the years, and the role faith plays in everything I do. Plus, I share the ways I’ve learned to protect my energy while staying soft, open, and deeply loving. This episode is full of heart, honesty, and the behind-the-scenes truths I know so many of us need to hear. Liked this episode?

But only when and where that reciprocity can flow both ways.” - Julie Solomon  “ There are moments of the day that are going to require different rhythms based on the needs of my children, the needs of my partner, of my husband, and my needs, and I can no longer outsource that rhythm to someone else's idea of balance that is wrapped up in this, you know, curated and glorified idea around guilt. That's never made sense to me. I don't know how mom guilt is gonna somehow make me a better mother. I haven't figured that out yet, so I just don't relate to that. But I do relate to the necessary rhythm and just letting yourself off the hook when it comes to balance, because I don't think that it exists.” - Julie Solomon  RESOURCES: [JOIN MY VISIBILITY TRAINING] With just 1 hour a week, my proven content framework will help you refine your messaging and turn your offers into consistent, scalable sales.
