What if everything in your life is your fault?
Not in a shameful way. Not in a blaming way.
But in a radically freeing way.
In this episode of Brave Moves, Julie explores the concept of radical responsibility through a powerful monk teaching on enlightenment and a simple story about a spilled cup of coffee. Together, these lessons reveal why life’s “bumps” are not the true cause of our reactions, but mirrors showing us what we are carrying inside.
Julie breaks down how radical responsibility ends overwhelm, restores personal power, and strengthens confidence. You’ll learn why blaming circumstances keeps you stuck, how choosing your response changes everything, and how small daily shifts in what you “carry in your cup” create lasting transformation.
If you’ve been feeling triggered, reactive, stuck, or out of control, this episode will help you take your power back one brave move at a time.
