POWER  SHIFT

“Inspiring and empowering”

Why aren’t things going your way despite your best efforts? Feeling Stressed. Overwhelmed. Burnt out. Stuck. Powerless.

The truth is, you’re not lacking power. You don’t need to tap into or unleash your power either. In fact, you’re always using your power—you’re just using it against yourself instead of for yourself.

"POWER SHIFT” flips the narrative, proving you already have everything you need to increase your confidence, reduce stress, and build unstoppable momentum to achieve the outcomes you want and gives you the tools to do it!

In these candid interviews, Julia talks about her journey through trauma, tragedy, and loss. Instead, of letting them define her, she chose to use them to refine her. She shares how she used each one as a springboard to strengthen her determination, perseverance, and resilience to overcome any challenge and you can too.

As a podcast guest, Julia shares valuable insights and practical tools for overcoming challenges, building resilience, and thriving through adversity. Her ability to thrive beyond the setbacks, failures, and loss, will inspire you and leave you believing in the strength of the human spirit.

Julia’s thought-provoking articles challenge conventional wisdom and dispel myths about power. She shares valuable lessons she learned on her way to the C-suite of multi-billion dollar organizations.

In Julia’s TEDx talk, The Way We Think About Loss and Grief is Dead Wrong, and other videos, she shares how to thrive through even the most difficult life situations and use adversity to your advantage.
