Tune Into You

Julie Murphy • February 27, 2014

We live in a “go go go!” world and often don’t get much time to slow down. But our propensity to take advantage of this 24-7 lifestyle we’ve grown accustomed to has be at the detriment of our health, happiness and sanity. We rarely sit in silence and listen to what’s going on with us – our bodies, our minds, our spirits. Maybe it’s time to connect with the you that you’ve always wanted to be.

We all need time to reflect, and I’m not just talking about on what everyone else in your life needs. Yes, your kids need you to root them on at their soccer game. Your aging parents need you to be there at that important doctor’s appointment. And your friends need you for moral and emotional support that only you can give them.

But what about you? We often place other people’s wants before our own needs . Consistently placing others before ourselves only sets us up for burnout. You can’t truly help anyone if your own tank is on empty.

Maybe this has something to do with all those ailments you’re experiencing. I’ve noticed in my own financial practice that most people who are out of alignment have some sort of physical sign alerting them. Whether it be cancer, excess weight, migraines or lower back pain, the majority of the physical ailments we experience can be traced back to a specific need we aren’t fulfilling for ourselves.

We rarely listen to our bodies in an authentic way. There are many hacks on fixing problems quickly. Got a headache? Take an aspirin! Tired? A few shots of espresso will do the trick. No time for lunch? Head to the nearest fast food place. These aren’t solutions; they’re cover-ups. We reach for the quick fixes to save time; unfortunately, it’s at the expense of our health.

Action step

It’s time to reconnect with our bodies. Don’t just mask issues with whatever you can get your hands on the fastest. When you experience those little aches and pains, don’t rush to cover them up. Stop and listen. Maybe you’re dehydrated or need a recharge. Numbing your symptoms will only work for so long before burnout sets in. Instead of letting it get that far, be proactive and start to disconnect from the things you know aren’t helping to heal you.

I know it’s difficult for us to unplug. Silence is uncomfortable, and stepping away from our iPhone’s (even for a few minutes) can seem unreasonable. But spend time over the next week taking a step back. Turn off the television, put away your electronics and find a few moments to meditate. Taking care of you will help you see what you truly need to feel and perform your best.

The Life You're Waiting For Is Waiting for You to Wake Up

By Julie Murphy • August 4, 2026

What if nothing is wrong with your life? What if the frustration you feel... The anxiety around money... The constant striving... The feeling that something is missing... Isn't a sign that you're failing. What if it's simply your soul trying to wake you up? So many of us spend our lives searching for the next thing we believe will finally make us feel whole. More money. A different relationship. A better job. A healthier body. Another vacation. Another achievement. Another finish line. Yet somehow, after every accomplishment, that feeling quietly returns. "There has to be more than this." And there is. Not because your life is lacking. Because you've been taught to look for fulfillment in places it was never meant to come from. One of the greatest lessons I've learned is that life is always working for us, even when it doesn't feel like it. Every challenge... Every financial struggle... Every relationship... Every fear... Every success... They're all invitations. Not punishments. Invitations to become more aware. Because awareness changes everything. You can't transform a belief you don't know you're carrying. You can't heal a wound you refuse to acknowledge. You can't create a different future while living from yesterday's programming. This is why I don't believe true wealth begins with your bank account. It begins with your awareness. Money simply magnifies the relationship you already have with yourself. If you believe you're not enough... No amount of money will ever feel like enough. If you don't trust yourself... It won't matter how much financial security you create. You'll still feel uncertain. Real wealth isn't something we earn. It's something we uncover. It's been within us all along, buried beneath years of conditioning, fear, expectations, and stories that were never ours to begin with. When we begin clearing away those layers, something beautiful happens. We stop chasing. We start creating. We stop reacting. We begin choosing. We stop living from fear. We begin living from love. That's where abundance begins. Not outside of you. Inside of you. That's why I created the 21-Day Wake Up Wealth Challenge . Not to teach you how to make more money. Not to convince you that positive thinking changes everything. But to give you space. Space to slow down. Space to become aware. Space to notice the patterns you've been living from without even realizing it. Over the course of 21 days, you'll begin seeing yourself differently. You'll explore the beliefs shaping your financial life. You'll reconnect with your intuition. You'll learn how your emotions influence your decisions. Most importantly... You'll begin remembering that you already have everything within you to create a life that feels aligned, peaceful, and abundant. The challenge isn't about becoming someone new. It's about coming home to who you've always been. If your heart has been whispering that it's time for something different... Listen. It may be the beginning of everything. I'd love to walk this journey with you. Because your greatest investment has never been in the stock market. It's always been in yourself. And when you awaken that relationship... Everything else begins to change. With Love, Julie P.S. Sometimes the biggest transformation doesn't happen because life changes around us. It happens because we finally become aware of the life we've been creating, and realize we have the power to create something new. If you're ready, I'd love to have you join us for the 21-Day Wake Up Wealth Challenge.
