13 Things
About Julie

1.“There are no problems, only solutions”

Problem-solving has been a passion of mine throughout my entire life. If you stay with me long enough, I’ll trick you into believing you can achieve just about anything you aspire to. It is transformative to focus on problem-solving rather than blunt complaining. For me the effort was effective and immediate.

2. “Let’s change the world, one island at a time”

Don’t underestimate the power of doing a good deed—doing something to help others, without expecting anything in return. Doing good deeds creates a similar feeling to a “runner’s high”. It generates a feeling of satisfaction, and gratitude, our brain’s pleasure center lights up, it releases endorphins, and produces a high when we do something good for someone else. An act of kindness creates a feeling of togetherness. What goes around comes around…

3. “We aim for the purest form of magic”

An act of kindness creates a feeling of togetherness. What goes around comes around…

4. “I sell things”

I am super proud to sell online training programs, books, journals, and more. I truly care about my customers, we establish a long term partnership, hopefully for life. My goal is to inspire you into feeling blown away by something you’ve always dreamed of, but have finally managed to turn into reality. Let’s experience together, reflect, and align with what the universe has planned for you, us, and others.

5. “I stand for truth and trust”

Time to INSPIRE. We have so much to share with the World. We are here to make a real difference. We create. Be you. Trust your Truth.

Don’t you often feel like you have to sell yourself short? It’s almost like us driving forces need to shadow ourselves. I think we are all UNIQUE and BEAUTIFUL in our own way. Be yourself, everyone else is already taken. Whoever you partner up with after that, will FLOW much better.

The art of #SLOWliving means stepping away from the hustle and bustle of life to make time for the things that connect you to your happiness—the kind of childlike joy that suspends time and makes your worries melt away.

6. “You can always count on me”

I love to empower others, I host training sessions, give away free materials, and will answer any questions you have.

I’ll guide you to listen to the whispers of your soul. Where lies your destiny ahead? What’s the emotion overpowering you? Is it anger? A rude tongue comes with a kind heart. But they will notice the tongue and never the heart. The truth is, in that moment of anger; we are not just angry, we are mostly deeply hurt and sad. We have an underlying need that is not being met. The need for example of being you. Simply existing as you.

What does my life actually look like? Thanks to this pause, I can actually see clearly. Does it make me happy? Do I feel complete? What’s missing in my life?

I’ll help you silence anyone who’s influencing your life; and listen to your own dreams. Let’s see where they’ll take you.

“In the infinity of life where I am, all is perfect, whole, and complete. The past has no power over me because I am willing to learn and to change. I see the past as necessary to bring me to where I am right now to clean the rooms of my mental house.”⠀- Louise Hay

7. “Arrive as a customer, leave as a friend”

It’s vital for me that you feel appreciated, loved, valued, and respected. I am obsessed with your happiness. I will help you create meaningful change in your life, and in the world. Most of my customers naturally become friends.

8. “My policy is kind people only”

People always say the customer is king. I like to add if the customers don’t respect our values, and the services provided, they are not. We genuinely are not looking for these kinds of ugly creatures for our community, or as our guests. This kind of behavior is not welcome, neither is mean-spirited behaviour based on prejudices, hatred, sexism, racism, or other dishonest demonstrations. We are a family of love based, who believe in a world where you can be anything, be kind.

9. “I’m not everyone’s cup of tea”

Rest assured, not everyone likes me. I always say what I think, and I don’t always sugar coat it. It always comes from the heart, and genuinely having your best interest at mind. Some things just have to be said, in order for us to grow. I don’t want to live on the surface. Let’s dig into the real stuff together!

10. “In life you have to be serious, but never take yourself seriously ”

Slow is beautiful. Belonging to the Slow movement doesn’t mean you have to be slow all the time. I also dare to take the fast boat. Ha!

It doesn’t mean you have to be serious all the time.
I am serious, but I never take myself seriously.

11. “Laughing through hard times happens to be how I got through my whole life.”

Please, don’t mistake my humor for a lack of seriousness or concern. Laughing through hard times happens to be how I got through my whole life. To be happy, it’s not necessary to expend great effort so we get somewhere else. Instead, relax into the present moment while finding humor in your life. With humor, life becomes light and leisurely. And laughter always brings people to experience openness and joy. Humor opens closed hearts. Humor can free us from the grip of our thoughts. When we smile, we feel we can accept things we previously could not. We feel we can forgive those who have wronged us. Humor is an essential part of life.

12. “It's not where you travel to, it's who you travel with.”

Balance is not something you find, it’s something you create. There is no better place to set your foundation than one of our seminars, retreats, or festivals. We gather like-minded people, and our favorite facilitators, for you to have all the tools to find balance from within, and then bring it home.

13. “Do what you love, love what you do”

Cultivating a sense of self-worth that doesn’t rely on outside validation, you must break through and love yourself first. Because there is no logical connection between effort and reward, I always give my absolute best, and then some more. I’m obsessed with creating magic, which makes me go above and beyond for you, for myself, and for others. It doesn’t matter how hard I work, or how “good” I am because Idon’t strive for perfection. We aim for the purest form of magic!

I love to inspire people to become the best version of themselves. I built my entire mini- island- empire on love. I’m a dreamer and a doer. I believe if you can dream it, you can do it. I’m playful, passionate, and profoundly invested in my art.1
