Hi I'm Julie,

I am a mother of two, Author and an Emotional Healing Coach. I specialize in helping overwhelmed parents break unhealthy cycles, build healthy relationships so they can help their kids do the same.

Years ago, I made a promise to myself that I would do things differently than my parents, moving away from control-based parenting towards connection.

I wanted my son to grow up with healthy relationships and have emotional connection in relationships. Most importantly with me.

Unfortunately, when my son was three years old I couldn't keep my promise. I couldn't stay calm when my son was emotional and it was challenging to recover from being overwhelmed from the day to day demands of parenting.

Worst of all, I felt emotionally disconnected from my son.

I was devastated and full of emotional baggage.

Everything changed when I started to unpack my emotional baggage. I started to do things differently than my parents and was able to pour in connection to my relationship with my son. I became grounded, able to hold space for my son to express himself and most importantly deepen our emotional connection.

This led me to become an advocate for EMOTIONAL RELEASE helping parents learn how to feel their emotions, unpack their emotional baggage and deepen their emotional connection with their kids.

Are you ready to do things differently than your parents?

What if the key to being emotionally regulated and breaking generational patterns lies in what we were never taught to feel?

In this personal and empowering TEDx talk, bestselling author and trauma-informed emotional healing coach Julie Marrast invites you on a journey beyond overwhelm, reactivity, dysregulation and emotional disconnection. Drawing from her own transformative experience with motherhood and healing, Julie shares the pivotal moment she confronted emotional blockages and learned to reconnect with herself and others.

She introduces a H.A.P.P.Y. Framework—a simple yet powerful guide for fostering emotional connection in all relationships. Blending storytelling, science, and practical tools (including the surprisingly effective practice of shaking like a wet dog), she shows that emotional release is natural and essential for resilience.

Julie Marrast is the bestselling author of Different Than Your Parents and founder of the HERO LIFE HAPPY® Experience and Parenting Through Feeling Coaching. As a trauma-informed emotional healing practitioner, certified Hand in Hand Parenting Instructor and Coach, Certified Vinyasa and Yin Yoga teacher, Certified Laughter Yoga Instructor, and licensed Heal Your Life Coach, she has a Diploma from Seneca College, North York, Canada, Julie blends modern psychology with Eastern and Western healing practices. Julie specializes in helping people reconnect with their emotions, build stronger relationships, and cultivate emotional resilience.

Whether you’re parenting, partnering, leading, or simply seeking deeper connection in your relationships, this talk will inspire and equip you to regulate your emotions, break generational cycles, and build resilient, joyful relationships.

This talk was recorded in April 2025 at TEDxMountRubidoux in California, as part of an independently organized TEDx event.

Have you ever vowed that you would break free from the patterns of unhealthy parenting you experienced as a child?

To never find yourself trapped in reactive behaviors, struggling with emotional regulation, or stuck in relationships that don’t nurture your well-being?

Many parents share this yearning for a healthier approach to parenting, yet still find themselves repeating familiar, unhealthy behaviors with their children. It’s so frustrating and heartbreaking to feel nothing but overwhelm, exhaustion, and an inability to change things for the better.

In Different Than Your Parents, Julie Marrast shares her personal struggles with these very same hurdles as a young mother and her journey to finally discovering the missing piece to overcoming them. After years of intricate research and deep personal practice, Marrast has developed her proprietary HERO LIFE HAPPY® Experience to help other parents do the same. Through its three transformative experiments.

As a new parent, I was reactive, and I didn’t understand my son's behavior. He wouldn't listen, cooperate and sleep was a mess. I was overwhelmed with both of our emotions. I always felt very strongly that there was something I was missing that would make my parenting journey easier. I didn’t know exactly what it was I needed or what it would look like, but I’m very happy I didn’t give up this deep thirst to find a way to keep my promise to do things differently than my parents and move away from control, towards connection.

When my son was three years old I came to my breaking point. I was filled with so much emotional baggage and felt lonely and completely disconnected. I was driven to my breaking point, and it allowed me to give up control and dive deep into my inner world, setting me off on an emotionally healing journey, remembering and connecting with my authentic self.

From that moment onward I set off on a mission to unpack my emotional baggage from various life hardships. Now I live daily feeling my way through my life experiences and it has been transformative to my parenting journey and all my relationships, starting with the one I have with myself. It has allowed me to continually break unhealthy cycles, building authentic relationships and have the patience to help my son do the same.

Now, after years of intricate research in the world of parenting and emotional well-being paired with my personal practice and healing, I have found my life's purpose and I help other parents create healthy cycles and nurture their relationships with their children, overcoming the very same parenting hurdles I faced.

I’d love to help you find ease in your day-to-day parenting struggles and deepen your emotional connection with your kids. You can find more information here on how we can connect.
