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.

126. The Comparison Season
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In this Coffee Chat, I’m diving into something that comes up every year around this time: comparison. From body image to Christmas plans to what everyone else’s family, life, or business seems to be doing — it can feel like we’re constantly measuring ourselves against other people’s highlight reels.
I share why comparison actually spikes during this season (spoiler: it’s biology, not a personal flaw), how stress and social media amplify it, and even how I’ve felt it myself recently comparing my own food brand to others.
This episode is a gentle, honest reminder that comparison isn’t a verdict — it’s a signal. And when it shows up, there’s a kinder, more grounded way to respond.
Grab your coffee and settle in with me for a little perspective reset.
