Julianne Hough is an incredibly successful actress, singer, dancer, host, and judge who has been working hard in Hollywood for a decade. She got her big break on Dancing With the Stars — where she was both a pro and a judge — but she has also appeared in movies such as Footloose, Rock of Ages, and Safe Haven.
While she has had a wonderful career full of many highs, Hough has struggled too. In fact, she is not afraid to share the difficult parts of her life with fans, and she frequently uses social media to inspire and motivate her followers. Scroll down to see the 10 times Julianne Hough was arguably the most motivational person on Instagram.
10 Not Afraid To Show It All Off
Along with being honest about her trials and tribulations, Hough is also very comfortable with her body and showing it off for the world to see. In this post, Hough graces the cover of Women’s Health magazine and is completely nude!
This would be very scary for a lot of people to do, but Hough knows that she is strong and that her body is worth celebrating. She knows she doesn’t have to conform to fit other people’s standards, and that is probably inspiring for a lot of people.
9 Honest About Her Transformation
While so many celebrities are afraid to get honest about their struggles and issues, Hough is never afraid to get vulnerable. She shares it all with the world and with her followers and proves that you don’t have to be picture-perfect to be successful.
In this post, Hough gets honest about constantly comparing herself to other artists and how detrimental that was to her mental health. But, when she finally stopped comparing herself and just allowed herself to be honest, that’s when she made her best work.
8 Conquers Mountains
Hough is a dancer, a singer, and an actress, but she does so much outside of the entertainment industry that is worth celebrating! Hough revealed she climbed Mt. Kilimanjaro with her friends and family, which is an incredible accomplishment.
In the post, Hough wrote, “You don’t have to climb Kilimanjaro to feel like you are doing the most challenging thing you’ve ever done, maybe it’s just waking up and getting out of bed, eating healthy, apologizing for something you did, whatever it may be, I hope these words ignite the possibility that you are stronger than you think!”
7 Isn’t Afraid To Find Her Voice
Hough recognizes that it can be very hard to be your true self. The world we live in is very crazy and people often feel comfortable to be themselves. People often change themselves so they can fit in with everybody else. Hough frequently shares motivational quotes for her followers to read because she knows how much people need something inspiring in their lives every once and awhile. She encourages her fans to be themselves and to follow their own paths.
6 Getting Real About Grief
Hough lives a very nice life, full of success and stardom, but she goes through difficult times just like everybody else. In fact, she suffers grief just like the rest of us and in September 2019, Hough lost her two beloved dogs, Harley and Lexi. Hough shared an emotional post about losing her dogs, writing, “Thank you for being my guardians on this earth and even more so now. I’ve never experienced a love like ours.” This post is inspirational because other people can see it’s OK to feel sadness in grief.
5 Boldly Herself
Hough often looks glamorous and has beautiful makeup and outfits, but she likes to be natural too. We don’t often get to see celebrities without makeup and glam, and this can sometimes set unrealistic expectations. People constantly compare themselves to people they see on television, in movies, or in magazines, which is why it’s so nice that Hough is showing off her true and authentic self. She’s not afraid to be real, so neither should we.
4 Sharing Her Health Struggles
Hough has been very open over the past couple of years about suffering from endometriosis, which is a disorder that affects the lining of the uterus. This disorder has really impacted her health and has affected the way she thinks about starting a family. Her being so honest about the difficult parts of her life has to be inspiring for the millions of other people out there who struggle with something in their life, whether it’s health-related or not.
3 Supports People In Her Life
It’s no secret Hough is very close to her family and she frequently collaborates with her brother, Derek Hough, who is also an actor. Along with her siblings and parents, Hough is also married to former hockey player Brooks Laich.
Though Hough and Laich are currently going through a rough period in their marriage, Hough has always supported her husband and is open and honest about the things she needs to work on in order to improve their relationship.
2 Fully Accepts Herself
One of the more inspiring things about Hough is her ability to constantly change and transform. She is always trying to become a better version of herself and she doesn’t let fame or success stop her from evolving. It could be very easy as a celebrity to not work on oneself, but Hough seems to do it all the time. It’s inspiring to see someone who is so successful recognizes that we could always be better.
