Why Do Some People Feel So Authentic? | ease

this week, we’re chatting with Julia Hotz about social prescribing and the idea that sometimes feeling better can look like spending more time outside, finding your way back to hobbies, and being around other people.we talk about why it gets harder to make time for the things we enjoy, how easy it is to fall out of touch with ourselves, and why community can be such an important part of our mental health. Julia also breaks down what social prescribing actually is and how something as simple as joining a class, going outside, or doing something you love can be part of taking care of yourself. let's get into it!follow julia hotz: website: https://www.hotzthoughts.com/ instagram: https://www.instagram.com/hotzthoughts/?hl=en linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/julia-hotz-06510161 book: https://www.amazon.com/Connection-Cure-Prescriptive-Movement-Belonging/dp/1668030330follow ease:Instagram: ⁠https://www.instagram.com/ease⁠TikTok: ⁠https://www.tiktok.com/@easethepodcast⁠Spotify: ⁠https://open.spotify.com/show/51x8OhqmT9r3HLyenR52ER?si=40cfd03133084508⁠Website: https://www.easethepodcast.com/follow nailea:Instagram: ⁠https://www.instagram.com/naileadevora/⁠TikTok: ⁠https://www.tiktok.com/@billlnai⁠YouTube: ⁠https://www.youtube.com/naileadevora⁠follow justus:Instagram: ⁠https://www.instagram.com/justusbrycee/⁠TikTok: ⁠https://www.tiktok.com/@justilocks⁠© 2025 ease Hosted on Acast.

when i was younger, having a big group of friends felt like everything. i wanted to fit in, be liked, and feel like i belonged somewhere. but as i've gotten older, i've started to realize that having a lot of friends doesn't necessarily mean feeling connected.in today's episode of ease, i'm reflecting on how my relationship with friendship has changed over the years. we're talking about growing apart from people, feeling misunderstood, learning to appreciate the friendships that make us feel seen, and realizing that not every connection is meant to last forever.maybe friendship isn't about how many people we have around us, but how we feel when we're with them. let's get into it!follow ease:Instagram: ⁠https://www.instagram.com/ease⁠TikTok: ⁠https://www.tiktok.com/@easethepodcast⁠Spotify: ⁠https://open.spotify.com/show/51x8OhqmT9r3HLyenR52ER?si=40cfd03133084508⁠Website: https://www.easethepodcast.com/follow nailea:Instagram: ⁠https://www.instagram.com/naileadevora/⁠TikTok: ⁠https://www.tiktok.com/@billlnai⁠YouTube: ⁠https://www.youtube.com/naileadevora⁠follow justus:Instagram: ⁠https://www.instagram.com/justusbrycee/⁠TikTok: ⁠https://www.tiktok.com/@justilocks⁠© 2025 ease Hosted on Acast.

why are we so embarrassed of who we used to be? i used to hate when people would send me old photos of myself. instead of feeling nostalgic, i'd immediately cringe.in today's episode of ease, i'm looking back at the versions of myself i spent years trying to distance myself from and wondering why i was so embarrassed of someone who was literally just figuring life out. we're talking about wanting to fit in, childhood insecurities, and how some of the things we once wanted to change about ourselves eventually become the things we love most. maybe growing up doesn't have to mean rejecting who we used to be. let's get into it!follow ease:Instagram: ⁠https://www.instagram.com/ease⁠TikTok: ⁠https://www.tiktok.com/@easethepodcast⁠Spotify: ⁠https://open.spotify.com/show/51x8OhqmT9r3HLyenR52ER?si=40cfd03133084508⁠Website: https://www.easethepodcast.com/follow nailea:Instagram: ⁠https://www.instagram.com/naileadevora/⁠TikTok: ⁠https://www.tiktok.com/@billlnai⁠YouTube: ⁠https://www.youtube.com/naileadevora⁠follow justus:Instagram: ⁠https://www.instagram.com/justusbrycee/⁠TikTok: ⁠https://www.tiktok.com/@justilocks⁠© 2025 ease Hosted on Acast.

what if consistency isn’t about having the perfect routine or suddenly becoming a completely different person? this week, i’m talking about my complicated relationship with consistency, why doing the same thing every day feels nearly impossible to me, and what i’ve learned from having to show up for something every single week. we’re talking creativity, confidence, keeping promises to yourself, and the boring little things no one talks about when you’re working toward something you really want. maybe consistency is less about doing everything perfectly and more about proving to yourself, little by little, that you’ll keep showing up. let’s get into it!follow ease:Instagram: ⁠https://www.instagram.com/ease⁠TikTok: ⁠https://www.tiktok.com/@easethepodcast⁠Spotify: ⁠https://open.spotify.com/show/51x8OhqmT9r3HLyenR52ER?si=40cfd03133084508⁠Website: https://www.easethepodcast.com/follow nailea:Instagram: ⁠https://www.instagram.com/naileadevora/⁠TikTok: ⁠https://www.tiktok.com/@billlnai⁠YouTube: ⁠https://www.youtube.com/naileadevora⁠follow justus:Instagram: ⁠https://www.instagram.com/justusbrycee/⁠TikTok: ⁠https://www.tiktok.com/@justilocks⁠© 2025 ease Hosted on Acast.
