Dr Julie's Coffee Chats
Welcome to Dr Julie's Coffee Chats - where evidence meets real life.
I'm Dr Julie Bhosale—a PhD-trained nutrition researcher, author, entrepreneur, mum of three and someone who believes the best conversations happen over a good coffee.
Every Wednesday, we'll sit down together to explore nutrition, health, parenting, women's wellbeing and real life through honest conversations with experts, inspiring guests and the occasional solo chat.
My goal is simple: to help you cut through the noise, understand the science and leave every episode with something practical you can use in your own life.
So grab a coffee and let's chat.
Helping you nourish yourself and your family—one conversation at a time.

119. Burnout, Boundaries & the School Holiday Hangover
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In this episode, I dive into the post-school holiday burnout that so many mums know too well — the crash that comes after weeks of juggling, entertaining, and holding it all together. I unpack why this happens, the signs you might be running on empty, and how to start advocating for your own needs again (without guilt). I also include a very brief follow on from advocating for my own health care needs in perimenopause (like a mini part 3 from last week).
From small daily resets to learning to say no, this chat is about reclaiming your energy, your time, and your voice — because being a mum doesn’t mean being last on the list.
