Ep. 102 Andrea's Bully Boss: What it Looked Like, How She Managed, and How She Exited with Andrea Pass
Andrea was really good at her PR job before she started working for her bully boss, during, and after. But working for him took a huge toll on her self-perception, to the point where she questioned whether he was right that she wasn’t any good. Andrea endured 8.5 years of chronic tears and a “living hell” until her breakthrough moment.
Ponder with us, the many reasons we stay in abusive, power-over relationships. Learn how resilience can sometimes be antithetical to our wellbeing. Hear about how Andrea stood her ground against a man who tried to break her. Find out what it’s like to come out metaphorically beaten and bruised, yet with enough agency to not have to break before you make an important change.

Ep. 101 Adapting through Dissociation to See Where It Delivers You Amid a Zero Sum Rat Race Mentality on Wall Street with Sara Roccisano
Be careful what you ask for. Sara’s friend invited her on a trip. She said she’d only go if she got laid off and the rest is history. Sara began a journey away from abuse and bad behavior caused from stress, pressure, ego, and the drive for money and accolades. Leaving sunk costs behind her, she embarked on many trips, including with psychedelics.
Hear about toxic work cultures impacting Sara’s identity and how they lead to a breaking point. About how the mighty dollar erodes quality and function. And how one woman stepped away from it all to embrace trust, surrender, and faith on a journey back to herself.
Bio
Sara Roccisano spent over 20 years working on Wall Street as an Investment Banker and in Private Equity, Corporate America, and Government as a Renewable Energy Executive. As one could imagine, she became burnt out. Her spirit was unhappy, and she craved something more fulfilling. In early 2020, she answered a spiritual call to embark on a 5-Week Adventure around the world on the heels of coronavirus plaguing her home in New York City. The journey helped her to rediscover herself. By 2022, she surrendered by quitting her career and life as she knew it and began coming back home to self.
Sara is a world-traveling, scuba-diving, spiritually transforming, International Public Speaker, Travel Storyteller, Author, and founder of Embolden Adventures. She has traveled to 42+ countries and over half of the United States from the tops of the mountains, the depths of the oceans, the mysterious megalithic, and everywhere else in between.

Ep. 100 What Do You Do When You’re Told Your Child’s Going to Die? with Andy Browne
I’m adding a new format where I interview parents of children with catastrophic medical diagnoses. These episodes won’t focus on identity loss, but rather parents’ journeys as they navigate this specific challenge. While identity loss is still inherent in many of these stories, it won’t be the focus.
We kick off with my dad’s story. I’m number three of four kids, and throughout my early childhood, Phil, my eldest brother, was always supposed to die. He had a rare disease that caused horrific problems and he was constantly in and out of hospitals.
Hear about Dad’s experience as he navigated grief, fear, and uncertainty. What’s the one thing he and Mom did that made all the difference for Phil’s survival? Find out the core message Dad gives to others in his shoes.

I feel so inspired after listening to Julie guide her guests through their stories and journeys through identify loss and transitions - she is such a passionate, informed and gracious host who truly helps the listener relate to the transitions and learnings discussed so you can grow, feel connected and continue to step into your own truth and whatever identity transition you are going through. It’s a must listen to show if you are going through change that’s shaken the identities you used to feel defined in and stepping into healing and new more honest identities.
