Summary 

Julie Mizak joins Katie to discuss how she uniquely blends weight lifting with therapy. They explore the mind-body connection, why gym-based therapy can boost confidence and self-esteem, and best practices for running a gym-based group. 

Through gym-based group therapy, Julie creates a communal vibe where women can feel better about themselves and discover deeper dimensions of who they are and why they are worthy. Fittingly, her group’s motto is women in weightlifting, women lifting each other up. 

Julie Mizak is a licensed social worker and a certified personal trainer. She combines her expertise to create a unique, and relatively new,  offering for her clients.
