Do you really know what you want—or are you chasing what others expect from you? In this episode of Default to Yes, Juli Reynolds explores the power of clarity: what experts say, what neuroscience reveals, and how a Christian worldview reframes desire as a God-given guide to meaning and purpose.

Here’s what you’ll discover:

• Why clarity is the foundation of confidence, courage, and contentment
• How your brain’s reticular activating system filters opportunities once you define what you want
• The difference between chasing dopamine hits vs. living in alignment with self-concordant goals
• How Scripture shows us that desire isn’t selfish, but sacred when aligned with God’s design
• Three practical steps to uncover what you really want

Whether you’re in a season of reinvention, facing midlife questions, or simply ready to stop drifting, this episode will help you pause, reflect, and step boldly toward the life you were created for.

Today is my birthday, and instead of balloons or cake, I wanted to give you a gift: a story. My story. The truth of why I do this work, why I show up for you here, and why I believe clarity can change everything.

Because there was a time I thought that if I just did all the right things, worked hard, showed up with integrity, I could make the kind of impact I longed for. But what I ran into was a system that cared more about protecting itself than doing what was right.

I experienced betrayal from peers who were afraid for their own safety. I carried moral distress, burnout, disillusionment. And in that dark season, I made a vow: never again would I be intimidated, sidelined, or silenced.

Pivot to purpose
That vow became a turning point. It shifted my mission.
I decided that I would rise—and help others rise.
I decided to use my voice—and help others find theirs.
I decided to get clear—and guide others into clarity too.

Because clarity is where it begins. When you know who you are, what you stand for, and what you’re here to bring into the world—your confidence grows, your courage strengthens, and your curiosity opens new doors.

(the 4 C’s)
That’s the heart of what I want to share with you today:

• Clarity: knowing who you are and where you’re going.
• Confidence: trusting yourself to take the next step.
• Courage: acting even when fear is loud.
• Curiosity: staying open to growth, new ideas, and possibility.

When you have those four working together, you can’t help but move forward.

(birthday gift to listeners)
So here’s my birthday invitation to you: don’t just listen to my story—step into your own.

You can join me in my upcoming Clarity Workshop, where I’ll walk you through a simple science-backed framework to break out of overthinking and step into aligned action. If you can’t make the workshop, download the free Clarity Guide I created—it’s my gift to you today.

Because your life isn’t waiting for “someday.” The clarity you crave is available right now. And with it—you’ll rise with confidence, lead with courage, and live with curiosity.

(anchored in mission)
This is my vow, and my invitation: may you never again be silenced, sidelined, or stuck. May you rise into the extraordinary life you were created for—with clarity, confidence, courage, and curiosity.

What if the “rules” you’ve been living by are the very things keeping you stuck?

In this episode of Default to Yes, Nurse Coach and mindset mentor Juli Reynolds invites you to take an honest look at the outdated beliefs we inherit — about success, resilience, and what it takes to grow. Drawing parallels from healthcare, Juli reveals how myths like “fever is the enemy,” “you’re fine if you have no symptoms,” and “I can function on 5 hours of sleep” mirror the dogma we often carry into our personal lives.

You’ll discover why waiting for symptoms — in the body or in your life — is too costly, and how to start using both science and self-awareness to shift from assumptions to aligned action.

This episode blends neuroscience, behavior science, and real-life examples to help you see that growth isn’t about hustling harder — it’s about rewiring how you think, tracking what’s actually working, and choosing prevention over burnout.

Whether you’re navigating midlife, leading others, or just ready to stop second-guessing yourself, this conversation will help you drop the outdated rules and embrace the truth about what really drives transformation.

🧠 What You’ll Learn:

• The difference between outdated dogma and evidence-based growth
• Why prevention is more powerful than symptom management
• The truth about sleep, stress, and burnout — and what the data actually says
• How neuroplasticity proves you can change at any age
• The role of small wins, dopamine, and habit science in lasting transformation
• Why tracking your personal data (energy, sleep, mood) leads to better decisions
• Reflection questions to help you move from reaction to resilience

💡 Reflection Questions:

• Where am I still living by outdated rules?
• What beliefs have I accepted that no longer serve me?
• What is my personal data telling me — about what helps me feel alive versus what drains me?
• What would prevention look like in my emotional, mental, and spiritual life?

📣 Inspiration to Carry With You:

You don’t have to wait until something breaks to make a change.
You can choose clarity.
You can choose resilience.
And you can Default to Yes — on the life you were made for.
