Eat Blog Talk 759: How To Start Over - The Mindset Shifts That Turn Setbacks into Strength With Julie Gaeta
Megan chats with Julie Gaeta about turning hardship into strength through intentional habits, grounded mindset work, and resilience that fuels both life and business.
She runs Becoming You with Julie, where she shares plant-based recipes, wellness tips, and mindset strategies to help people feel good. After going through a divorce after 22 years, she rebuilt her life and business from the ground up, which taught her how critical mindset is for success. She's a holistic health coach, mom of nine, and working on growing her brand into a sustainable business.
When Julie's 22-year marriage ended, she started over with nine kids and a dream. What followed was a journey of deep mindset work, structure, and purpose that transformed her life and blog. Julie shares simple practices for protecting energy, creating momentum, and moving forward, no matter what's fallen apart.
Key points discussed include:
Reset your life with clarity: Reflect on what you truly want—and what no longer serves you.
Habits ground the chaos: Morning and evening routines keep you centered when life feels unpredictable.
Resilience is built, not found: Set small challenges that prove you can do hard things.
Energy is your currency: Protect it by setting boundaries and avoiding comparison traps.
The 80/20 mindset: Focus on the few things that move your goals forward and let the rest fall away.
Systems equal peace: Block scheduling and frameworks bring calm to both home and business.
Lean into accountability: Surround yourself with people who help you stay consistent.
Keep growing: Hard seasons can be the start of your strongest self.
