From the publisher
Julieanna Hever, known as the Plant-Based Dietitian, is a best-selling author, speaker, dietitian, personal trainer, recipe creator, and an expert in nutrition, food, fitness, health, and wellness. She is also a divorced mom of two teenagers who is on a journey to find more joy, ease, and grace and to empower others to choose themselves. “Choose You Now” means begin from your heart. It means having the courage to choose according to where your heart is driving you. No matter what. That doing so will ultimately be in alignment for everyone around you because you will be lighter, more peaceful, more joyful, more effective, more loving. It means: go within to make a decision, rather than to others, to the environment, to anything outside of your wisdom. Be you, emanate you, lead from you….that is capital T Truth. In The Choose You Now Podcast, Julieanna interviews some of the world’s most inspiring and influential people - including physicians, authors, entrepreneurs, musicians, and more. It is geared towards people in all walks of life - people who feel excited by the idea of following their joy despite what others around them say. For the mom who just needs a few minutes with someone who understands her, for the friend who feels unheard, for the colleague who feels frustrated. People who want to hear tales of triumph over adversity, inspiration of overcoming obstacles, catalysts to change.
