You can love being a mom and still want more for yourself.

More room for your ideas. More space for your ambition. More freedom to build a life that feels like you.

That’s the conversation at the heart of The Self-Made Mom—and I’m inviting you to read the beginning.

Before the book launches this November, email subscribers get exclusive early access to Chapter One.

I hope these pages remind you that your dreams still belong to you, even as you help your children discover theirs. 🤍

With Gratitude, Julia

For years, this book lived on my computer, on legal pads, and in the quiet hours before my kids woke up.

Today, I finally get to share the cover. 🥹

The Self-Made Mom is coming November 2026 through Greenleaf Book Group!

I wrote it for the woman who loves her family deeply and still has dreams she wants to pursue. The woman who wants to feel more confident, more present, and more like herself.

You deserve to build a life guided by your values—with practical support for work and motherhood.

I can’t wait to put these pages into your hands.

Which part speaks to you most: finding clarity, quieting your inner critic, or creating routines that work?

It’s officially Mama Magic Season. ✨

The holidays can be one of the most joyful times of the year—but for working moms, they can also feel like another full-time job.

Creating the costumes. Planning the traditions. Buying the gifts. Meeting the deadlines. Making the memories.

Here’s your reminder: You don’t have to do everything to make it magical.

Pick what matters. Communicate what you need. Plan ahead. And make sure you’re creating space for yourself, too.

Because you are a member of the family you serve—and you deserve some of the magic, too.

Save this for the moments when Q4 starts feeling like a little too much. 🤍

The most successful women don’t wait until they’re overwhelmed to invest in themselves.

They create space to think differently before they hit burnout.

Because sometimes the next level doesn’t require more hours, more hustle, or more sacrifice.

It requires better decisions. Stronger systems. More confidence. And the right support.

After 11,000+ hours coaching thousands of women, Julia has seen what can happen when women intentionally invest in how they lead themselves.

Over a 12-month coaching engagement, clients have experienced:

→ 66% average revenue growth
→ 34% increase in new client acquisition
→ Earlier entry into leadership opportunities

Not from doing more.

From thinking and leading differently.

If you’re a woman who thinks in terms of ROI, maybe it’s time to ask:

What could change if you invested in yourself the same way you invest in your business? by @theselfmademom

This reel can’t even begin to capture the magic that happened on a mountain in Colorado last week. 🤍

Fifteen women arrived carrying full hearts and stories they were ready to release.

Over four days, we laughed, cried, danced, reflected, and became friends. We slowed down, reconnected with ourselves, and grounded our lives around what matters most.

The retreat may be over, but the real work begins now—in the boundaries, conversations, and choices we carry home with us.

To every woman who joined us: thank you for showing up fully and reminding us that we were never meant to become self-made alone.

And if you missed this one, this is only one chapter of The Self-Making Experience.

There’s so much more to come—including the November release of The Self-Made Mom. 📕

The journey is just beginning. ✨

Wow wow wow… what a past few days it was in Aspen with @theselfmademom and 14 other incredible women🍁❤️
We laughed, shared our hearts, grew our minds, got out in nature, and were poured into by brilliant leaders so we could come back to our lives with more intention, clarity, and joy. What a gift.
Julia’s book comes out on November 10… I’m going to share more about that. And I cannot recommend Beyul Retreat enough!

Mom finally said YES to herself. 🤍

Yesterday, women from across the country arrived at The Self-Made Mom Retreat with one thing in common: they chose to make space for themselves.

For the next few days, we’re stepping away from the noise, the schedules, the responsibilities, and all the roles we carry every day—to rest, reconnect, recharge, and get redirected toward what matters most.

Because sometimes the most powerful thing a mom can do isn’t push harder.

It’s pause long enough to hear herself again. ✨

Here’s to the women who said YES to themselves this week. We’re just getting started. 🤍

Before you change your life, know what matters most. 🤍

This weekend, a group of incredible women is stepping away from the noise for three days at the Self-Made Mom Retreat.

Not to become someone new.

But to reconnect with who they already are.

We’ll identify the inner critic. Name the limiting stories. Release what no longer serves us.

And then, we rebuild.

One of the most powerful parts of the retreat is identifying your Self-Made Values—the principles that become your compass when life gets busy, decisions get hard, and the world has an opinion about who you should be.

Because when you’re clear on what truly matters to YOU, it becomes easier to know what deserves your yes, what deserves your no, and what kind of life you actually want to build.

Before asking, “What should I change?”

Ask yourself:
What matters most to me?

That answer might change everything. ✨

The new school year isn’t just a reset for your kids—it can be a reset for YOU, too. ✨

Before your family settles into another busy routine, take a moment to audit how you’re spending your time.

Ask yourself:
✨ What’s working that we want to keep? ✨ What’s creating unnecessary stress? ✨ Where can we simplify? ✨ What habits or systems would make this season feel lighter?

Because if you don’t intentionally decide how your time gets spent, something else will decide for you.

And here’s the good news: you don’t need a massive life overhaul.

Sometimes, a few small, intentional changes can create more peace, more presence, and more margin for you and your whole family. 🤍

Consider this your reminder to pause, reset, and create rhythms that actually support the season you’re in.

Save this post and take an hour this week to do your own family reset. ✨

Women don’t want a different leader. They want a different experience.

Recently, I had the privilege of keynoting the Colorado Financial Planners Association’s 10th Annual Future Meetings Forum—and while the setting was financial planning, the conversation became about something much bigger:

What happens when women finally feel understood?

After 15 years of coaching women, I’ve seen it again and again.

Lead with curiosity before solutions. Ask about values before goals. Build confidence instead of assuming it. Help women feel seen, heard, and understood.

Because when you do, trust grows. Relationships deepen. People stay.

This is the conversation I’m passionate about bringing into more organizations, teams, and leadership rooms.

If your team needs this conversation—through a keynote, workshop, group coaching, or executive coaching—I’d love to connect.

Comment “KEYNOTE” and I’ll send you the details. 🎤
