Although on the surface today’s conversation appears to be about weight loss and fitness but it goes so much deeper than that.
My guest is Julia Lin, author of 'My Power Decade’, body builder and fitness coach who shares her inspiring transformation story from being sick and overweight to competing in fitness shows at the age of 62.
What I love about Julia’s story is that it’s not just about physical transformation. She shares the deep mindset and spiritual journey that has lead to her living as the best version of herself in all areas of life.
Julia shares that the foundation of any lasting physical or life change is built from the inside out.
We chat about self love and acceptance, having a vision vs a goal, working through limiting beliefs, getting your mindset right and tuning into soul whispers to guide your path.
I loved this conversation so much as we touch on all my favourite things. Julia is a such an inspiration for all of us looking to live our best lives well into our later years.

Julia Linn, a force of inspiration born in 1957, wears many hats - she's a beacon of motivation, a celebrated author, a guiding light in online body and mindset coaching, and an awe-inspiring bodybuilder. Her journey defies convention, especially at the age of 67, where she redefines what it means to be a senior citizen. Having traversed continents as a professor, retirement wasn't in Julia's vocabulary at 65. Instead, she embarked on a remarkable journey of physical and mental transformation, stepping onto the bodybuilding stage with the determination of a warrior. Her resilience stems from a life peppered with medical challenges, beginning at the tender age of 11 with diabetes. Against all odds, she faced failed kidneys, diabetic blindness, heart disease, and more, defying the grim predictions of her doctors. Julia's life was spared by a double organ transplant and triple cardiac bypass surgeries, each a testament to her unwavering spirit. At 62, Julia committed to a newfound mindset centered around fitness, catalyzing a profound internal transformation alongside her physical one. Her mission crystallized: to empower women aged 40 to their 70s to break free from limiting beliefs and embrace their full potential. Through her certification as a personal trainer and mindset coach, Julia illuminates the path of self-reinvention, intertwining the realms of mind, body, and spirit. Certified by the International Sports Science Association (ISSA), Julia's expertise spans over four decades as an educator and keynote speaker on personal development. Her bestselling book, "MY POWER DECADE," serves as a roadmap for achieving fitness goals through mindset shifts and has garnered acclaim in Women's Health circles. Julia's passion extends beyond the pages of her book; she founded "Body Beauty Love Life™" to extend her guidance and coaching globally. Her mission? To help women connect with their inner strength, unearth their true purpose, and lead lives of profound meaning. For Julia, true wellness transcends the physical - it's a holistic journey of transformation from within.
