Episode 105 Transcription Coming Soon
Stick to fitness please, this is not a good look on you.
sticking up for women’s rights isn’t a good look for me? makes total sense.
Jackie, with all due respect…this is Juli’s blog and Juli’s podcast. She is providing us with thoughtful, FREE content day after day. As far as I’m concerned, she can say or do whatever the heck she wants because it’s HERS. Your comment was mean and uncalled for.
And sorry, but EVERYTHING looks good on Juli ????
Jackie, that comment isn’t a good look on you.
You. Are. Amazing.
Listen, you entertained me before and it’s why I’ve kept coming back. But this episode? So needed. And the real Juli has a lot to say, and I hope she keeps coming out and talking.
Seriously, before listening to this I was like what the heck do I have in common with this person other than the fact that we both love Joy and Claire? Sometimes I feel like an old lady compared to you and that I’ll never be as lean, strong, or fashionable.
But now? Now I know that you have some seriously passionate feels about real things in real life and it’s not just all the Bachelor and crispy Kale and breakfast sausage.
Keep saying what needs to be said. People listen to you and you have a following and we need to speak. And hearing you talk about it is therapeutic, proactive, and freaking awesome. Thank you, you cute little panda.
awwwww thanks Lindsey!! i’ve definitely always wanted to keep my podcast light and funny, bachelor and breakfast sausage included. so i’m glad this shared a different side of me that you enjoyed hearing. these are topics i keep to myself because of how much it often divides people, but i don’t care at this point. people are trying to divide women from the rest of the population and make us seem less of because of our experiences and we don’t have to put up with it anymore. we can change the future for so many women if we start to speak up. so thank you for the kind words and the encouragement to share more!
THANK YOU!!! Thank you for speaking up. And yes, we as women need to stop being silent. It’s uncomfortable, but it shouldn’t be anymore. Thank you for doing your part to help in this fight. I truly don’t understand women who accept ANY of this. I truly respect you more than I ever have.
And just a reminder to everyone- VOTE ON NOVEMBER 6TH!!! VOTE.
it’s time to speak up and speak out, as much as possible
When I first listened to this episode I was doing things around the house, walking away and coming back. I actually ended up listening to most of the episode over again so I could give my full attention. I’m sure a lot of other women would have come back from the podcast event and just talked about how amazing it was, but I’m so glad you shared some of the negative feelings you had around it. I also have been lucky enough to never experience some of the horrible things other women have, and I am lucky to have men in my life that always make me feel respected and safe. That obviously doesn’t mean there isn’t a problem with society today and it is important that we keep talking about it. I just wanted to say thank you for this episode and I respect you for speaking up!
thanks Jessica. it’s definitely been a tough few days after this episode went live
Great episode! I’m sure the vast majority of women can completely relate to what you described at the podfest. I’d say “all women” but I’ve seen enough WTFery during the past two weeks to know that there is still a lot of denial (or maybe self loathing) (or maybe brain washing) going on.
As a Californian I can assure you that not all men here are bros – thankfully! We do have more than our fair share and especially within the fitness community. I hope the negative experiences were outnumbered by positive and they don’t color your memories of the beautiful Lake Tahoe region!
Thanks for stepping outside of your usual format . I broke many of my own social media rules during that sh*tshow as well. Is it November 6th yet?
thanks for the love Megan
MIC DROP! Juli you took my breathe away in this one and truly surprised me! Thank you so much for being you!
thank you for taking the time to leave a comment, CP
Thank you so much for doing this podcast! It really struck a chord with me when I was driving in to work. It is critically important that we start (or continue) having these conversations, letting the world know that this type of behavior is not okay, and to help create an environment where others can share safely. Only when this can be something we discuss openly can we really begin to address the deeply rooted issues that have allowed this type of behavior for way too long. I work in a male-dominated industry – engineering – and I have seen this, experienced bad behavior, and heard about it far too frequently for it to be a “one-off.” I believe it is important for us who have a voice and who are recognized as leaders in the industries we work to use that to help other women who need it.
Thanks again for sharing your piece, I agree and am fed up too.
thank you so much for the love Sarah. the more we all share and talk about it, the more it will open up the truth. men will never truly understand it but we can teach more and more (especially the younger generation) how to move away from the past and into a better future.
Thank you thank you thank you.
It’s been a really tough week for a lot of us so seeing someone that I look up to talk so bluntly and emotionally is very appreciated. Never downplay your experiences or thoughts, they are yours and you own them.
Side note: I live in Denver and I always get my knives sharpened at the farmers market- I guess I need to find a new knife sharpener …
thank you for those words hannah. i’ve gotten a lot of backlash and hate for my feelings, but i have to remember those feelings and experiences are valid. and do you go to the 32nd ave farmers market? that’s where the sketch guy was. let’s both find someone new to go to!
Thanks for talking about this, Juli. It was such a hard week emotionally, and I think you made a really good point. It was so difficult to just see people (men) being able to go about like NOTHING WAS HAPPENING while women everywhere were being completely torn apart. It made me so inexplicably upset and just wore me down.
it’s really amazing. even my husband didn’t really understand until i really laid it all out to him. it really was such an exhausting and upsetting week. i had to turn social media off for a few days to just pick back up the pieces that feel lost at the moment. but hopefully all this upset pushes change as we move forward
Agreed, I can only hope that it will.
Here’s another message that echoes what everyone else said. I’ve listened to you from the beginning, and this episode was truly something special. It meant even more coming from someone who tries to stay out of politics, because it made me feel like I am not crazy for feeling like I’ve been in a tailspin this last week.
As someone who works in law enforcement, I totally understand what it means to be in a male dominated, ego dominated work environment, and my god is it challenging sometimes.
I was so frustrated listening to your podcast that I was almost in tears, and it is because I could see the parallels between what you’ve been dealing with, and what I’ve been living with for years. THANK YOU so much for sharing your story. We all have to stand up as women and let everyone know we’re not dealing with this anymore. Time’s up!
i can’t imagine what it’s like to work in that kind of field. it must be frustrating so many days out of the week. and it must be so hard to continue to put up with it. hopefully someday you won’t have to or at least the generation after us won’t either. i was almost in tears too and i’ve been in tears so many days after this podcast went live with the backlash i got from it. hopefully more and more people can see equality and the humanity in each other, no matter the differences
