What "Having It All" Really Means & Letting Go of the Stories That Define Us!
Episode 8
Tuesday, 21 July, 2026
A proper heart-to-heart.In this solo episode, Jules goes deep on something she's been thinking about a lot lately: letting go of the things that define us. The stories we carry, the pressure we put on ourselves, and whether the version of success we're chasing was even ours to begin with.Jules opens up about a belief she carried for almost her whole life, that she wasn't smart, formed in year four over a struggle with fractions, and how that single story quietly shaped her decisions, her confidence and the way she walked into rooms for decades. It's a powerful reminder of how the labels we accept about ourselves can become an identity we never actually chose.From there, Jules explores the beliefs so many of us carry without questioning. I'm too emotional. I'm bad with money. I'm behind in life. I'm only valuable when I'm productive. She talks about where these stories come from, how repetition turns them into truth, and the gentle, everyday ways we can start creating evidence against the lie.Asking if whether "having it all" is really the goal, or whether we've confused having it all with doing it all. Because a life that looks full from the outside can still feel empty inside. Success, she reminds us, looks different in every season. Sometimes it's ambition. Sometimes it's healing. Sometimes it's simply resting.This is a warm, gentle, permission-giving episode. Put the phone down, take a breath, and let yourself just be for a little while.CHAPTERS00:00 — Welcome In: Wherever You Are, This Moment Is Guilt-Free01:32 — Today's Heart-to-Heart: Letting Go of the Things That Define Us02:09 — The Question That Changes Everything: What Beliefs Am I Carrying That Aren't True?03:41 — Smartness Comes in All Kinds of Ways: Rewriting the Story05:41 — Healing Starts With Awareness: Creating Evidence Against the Lie06:37 — Jules Gets Honest: The Instagram Scroll That Took Her Out for a Day08:12 — Spotting the Pattern Behind Anxiety and Sadness10:21 — Just Because Something Is Normal Doesn't Mean It's Healthy11:41 — Why Women Are Conditioned to Seek Approval, and the Cost of It12:44 — Is Having It All Really the Goal?14:09 — Define Success for Yourself, or the World Will Do It for You15:09 — Share, Subscribe & Come Say HiConnect with JulesGet Jules' Newsletter – a letter each week with personal anecdotes, recipes, fashion, cocktails and podcast episodesWatch Tea with Jules on YouTubeFollow Tea with Jules on InstagramFollow Jules on TikTokCreditsProduced by ME EntertainmentProducers: @lisajohnston_, @julessebastian, @EggoauSound Engineer, Video, Editor & Music: Mathew Eggleston – @Eggoau Hosted on Acast.
