Description

What if prioritizing your wellness didn’t require hours at the gym or fancy equipment? What if it could start with just... getting up off the floor?

This week on The Business of Thinking Big, I’m joined by the incredible Juliet Starrett — lawyer, bestselling author, co-founder of The Ready State, and accidental entrepreneur — for a powerfully real conversation about health, movement, and sustainable wellness for busy women.

We dive into Juliet’s journey from high-powered lawyer to parking-lot CrossFit gym owner to health thought leader, and how she built a business (and life) around solving real problems for real people — starting with helping us move more and hurt less.

If you’re a mompreneur with big dreams and little time, this one is a must-listen 💛

In this episode, you’ll discover:

• Why movement isn’t about gym time (and what to do instead)
• How to use the “8-8-180 Rule” to boost your longevity and energy
• Juliet’s “never do nothing” mindset shift to get consistent
• How her business grew from backyard workouts to a bestselling brand
• Why your wellness creates the capacity to lead, grow, and thrive
