With the Eat More With Julia Mother’s Day Giveaway running April 28–May 4, 2026 (winner will be announced May 10), it felt like the perfect time to bring back this incredible episode as a re-air:
After gaining 50 lbs in a short period of time and facing a bout of depression, Courtney struggled with where to start in her health journey.
She desired weight loss in the long run, but more than anything, she first wanted to feel so confident in her health habits and relationship to food as someone who lived a super stressful life as a business owner and had turned to emotional eating in the past.
In this conversation, Julia and Courtney talk about how little changes turned into big waves, like becoming someone who moves her body consistently, who experiences way less period cramps, and who understands how to eat with confidence (and avoid sugar cravings) - plus, how going to therapy while working with a nutrition coach unlocked even more growth.
Even though she wasn't focusing on it directly, she dropped 12 lbs in just the first few months from making small changes over time.
Courtney’s story is for the woman who’s wondering how she’ll ever get out of the current funk she’s in, where she feels like nothing’s ever worked and she has no little time to give… she’s proof that you don’t need to feel ready to transform your life!!
