stop explaining yourself.

Hi, I'm Julie.

I work with women who are building — or have already built or are somewhere in the middle of it all - find the lost thread back to themselves and to their dream life.

Maybe you're deep in the work right now. The business, the career, the life that looks like momentum from the outside. And you're good at it. But if you're honest, you're building for everyone else's timeline, everyone else's definition of success, everyone else's version of what this was supposed to look like.

Or maybe you already built it. The right life, the right credentials, the right everything. And you're standing in it wondering how much longer you can keep explaining away the feeling that there's more.

Either way — you're here. And you probably already know what the unthinkable thing is.

You don't need more time to think about it.

You don't need a better plan.

You need permission to move — and someone who will walk into the fog with you.

That's what we do here.

It’s time for you to do the unthinkable.

do the unthinkable

  • You built the right life—or you’ve been trying to, right?

    Yet somewhere between the degree and the title and the relationship that looked like love from the outside — you stopped asking whether it was actually yours.

    That's not a crisis. It's a reckoning. And most women spend years explaining it away instead of walking toward it.

    I'm not interested in helping you explain it.

    I work with women who are done making the case for their own existence. Women who have outgrown the permission structure they were handed and are ready — quietly, ferociously — to do the thing they've been thinking about but haven't let themselves say out loud yet.

    The unthinkable thing.

    I've stood in the middle of that crossing. I've stood on a corner in Paris — not as a postcard, not as a fantasy — and cried in the specific way you cry when you finally stop pretending you're fine. When the life you built stops being enough of an excuse to stay small.

    That's not a metaphor. That's the whole methodology.

    You don't need a coach who hands you a framework.

    You need someone who has already done the unthinkable and will walk back into the fog with you.

    If you know, you know.

    Let's talk.

  • I specialize in the unthinkable. The bold move. The big life change. The professional or business transformation that everyone in your life has a quiet opinion about.

    I'm a lawyer turned executive, high-performance coach, bestselling author, and entrepreneur — with a background spanning law, technology, marketing, education, and yoga, including training in trauma-informed coaching and mindset work.

    I've done my own version of the unthinkable more than once. That's not incidental to this work. It's the whole point.

    My clients include executives, entrepreneurs, creatives, tech founders, TEDx speakers, soulpreneurs, students, and women ready to stop explaining themselves and accomplish that one thing they seek for themselves—whether it’s moving abroad, reinventing their lives, ending a relationship, getting out of debt and building financial freedom, changing careers, or starting over from scratch. What they all share isn't a job title. It's the feeling that they've outgrown the life they're standing in and they want more.

    I work with them one-on-one, in groups, in workshops, and on retreat.

  • Life is short. I believe in filling it — professionally and personally — with experiences that are empowering, deeply meaningful, and worth sharing.

    Here are just a few of the things that were once unthinkable for me…

    • Worldschooled my four children in coffee shops, museums, mountains, and cities around the world.

    • Lived in 3 countries and built a life in Europe.

    • Built businesses on both sides of the Atlantic.

    • Hiked the Tour du Mont Blanc — solo, with four kids in tow.

    • Visited all 50 states.

    • Completed ultra marathons.

    • Published hundreds of articles, blog posts, and a bestselling book.

    • Returned to photography after years away — getting my work into galleries in Paris and Milan.

    • Baked a multi-tiered birthday cake.

    • Became a coach to some of the most unbelievably talented humans I've ever met — executives, tech startup founders, TEDx speakers, creatives, new writers and authors, soulpreneurs, influencers, expecting moms, women building businesses while living the digital nomad life, and more.
