    🔥 Episode 44: The Power of Sisterhood

    You are not meant to rebuild your entire life by yourself. If you're trying to navigate divorce by googling at 2 AM, avoiding support because you think it makes you weak, or feeling like you're the only one who doesn't have it all figured out—this episode will shift your perspective on what real independence looks like. The reality: Most divorced women fall into one of two traps—trying to do everything alone and doing it poorly, or doing nothing because it's too overwhelming. Neither approach creates the transformation you're seeking. In this episode, Julie explores the power of sisterhood and collective wisdom, revealing why community isn't just nice to have during divorce—it's essential for healing and growth. Hi, I'm Julie!

    🔥 Episode 43: Where is the Humanity in Divorce?

    Where is the humanity in divorce?  I couldn't find it, so I decided to create it. If you've ever felt completely exposed and vulnerable during divorce—with strangers digging through your finances, people acting weird around you, and everyone expecting you to "just get over it"—this message will resonate deeply. You're expected to hold it together while your entire life is turned upside down. Your deepest secrets come to light, flaws you didn't know you had are revealed, and you're somehow supposed to navigate the single biggest change of your life without falling apart. Meanwhile, people offer empty platitudes like "this too shall pass" while you're drowning in guilt, shame, and feelings of complete disorientation about who you even are anymore. My own divorce awakened a part of me I never knew existed—my full humanity. And I am tired of watching amazing women shrink under the weight of societal expectations during their most vulnerable time. And so I am providing a solution: a safe space for divorce empty nesters to be fully and completely human. Where the only expectation is that you give yourself love and grace. Where you don't have to be strong and hold it all together anymore. If you're looking for a place where being human is enough, where you can discover what's inside you without judgment, and where you can stop wrapping your life in band-aids and start truly living—that space exists. The secret sisterhood is here and it is designed for the woman who will not let divorce define her. If that speaks to you, let me know and I'll share all of the details. Hi, I'm Julie! I'm a divorced empty nester and the creator of the Life 2.0 Coaching Program.

If you've been chasing external things hoping they'll make you feel abundant (or happy, joyful, content or any other way), this episode will flip everything you think you know about success and happiness.
