Here are the takeaways...

When we hit a rock bottom, the hard truths are revealed. It's in those moments we get to decide if we want to set ourselves free or not. Julie says, "If you know someone headed to a rock bottom moment, get out of the way." Some of those moments where we realize there's no one coming to save us are the moments we accept and embrace our own personal responsibility and accountability. The day you take responsibility for your life is the day your life really starts.
We can't heal ourselves from anything until we understand what it means to nurture ourselves. This will look different for everyone. Get the support you need whether that means coaches, therapists, books, or mediations. It's likely a lifelong journey.
Your self-concept is what is behind your upper limits. This can be in relationship to your identity, your finances, your success, etc. You can raise your self-confidence by giving yourself compassion, allowing yourself to take risks, being creative and being flexible. Create goals that are a reach but are also achievable.
You don't need a massive reason why you want what you want. It's ok to simply want it. Massive expansion can be the result of being self-compassionate with yourself. Using affirmations can be very supportive as you create the internal changes you are seeking. Remember Julie's story about the plants... what you think and say to yourself matters.
Ask yourself, "Wouldn't it be great it...." and then ask yourself, 'What would it take?"
Balancing our feminine energy with our masculine energy can help us be more whole. Feminine energy is the being, receptivity, creativity and "the woo". Masculine energy is the action, the doing, and the strategy. This balance can be approached emotionally and externally.
It's important to remember that getting what we want is a choice. We do get to choose the beliefs that we have as adults. If we are aware enough of our beliefs and thoughts we can make different choices. Possibility is where the light is.
Some people don't get what they want in life You get to decide if you are "some people". There is so much power in possibility and choice in choosing what you choose to focus on.
There will never be a lack of ideas. It can create complexity because we are complex. To expand it's important to simplify, focus down on 1-2 primary things and the rest go into a "holding tank". This will help you to expand a lot faster. It will help you get clear on what is working for you.
It's all courage.
