FREE GUIDE
🔥 Soulstice 🔥
A Firelit Portal for Women on the Rise
An online twilight soiree for ambitious women treading water in a life that no longer fits - it's time to sink into who you actually are and swim toward what you're actually meant to be, do, and have.
Come immerse yourself in a beautiful ceremony to:
🔥 Go from conforming to expectations that dim your untamed, multidimensional spirit ... to standing loyal, authentic, intense, and fully alive in your Soul Story.
🔥 Go from following a scripted path that drains your native intuition and resilience ... to igniting a soulful mission that reflects your unique gifts, fiercely guided by inner wisdom.
🔥 Go from silencing your voice to fit in and belong ... to being deeply encouraged and embraced by a tribe of women that sees and celebrates your whole, firelit Soul Story.

You’re invited to a sacred Soulstice soirée...
Not the kind where you smile politely, sip something flat and lame, and make cringey small talk. 😉
Soulstice is for the woman straddling two worlds:
one foot in the life that no longer fits, one foot in a future you can almost see, feel, taste, and touch
(and much to your chagrin ... it still feels jussssssst out of reach)
This is for you if you've been trying for awhile to make the leap to the next mountaintop…
This is for you if you've felt the sparks of fire flickering in your Soul — and you're ready to rise.
This is not another Zoom workshop where you zone out and pay half assed attention while wrangling kids or dogs or spouses or dinner.
This is a portal. A witnessing. A reclamation.
A SUMMER party to honor your Soul's Story.
When you're doing all the "right" things... and still feel like you're swimming in place
Gahhhh. This can be the most frustrating feeling right?
If something in your belly just fluttered in agreement, just know -- I see you!
Ok first, let's call a spade a spade.
You're smart. Self-aware. Intuitive. Full of gifts. Talented. Grounded. Wise beyond your years.
You care so deeply about caring for yourself that you've invested in the therapy, the breathwork, the functional med and holistic health routines, the business coaching.
You've checked every box. You're the textbook picture of doing it all the right way.
And to be truthful - bits and pieces of all of the things you've tried are helping.
And still — something’s missing.
It’s not that you aren’t grateful. It’s not that you aren’t trying.
But despite your success and insight, there’s a low hum of ache in your system.
Like you’re holding your breath in a life that technically works, but no longer feels like yours.
You keep asking:
🗣“Why isn't this going faster? Why can’t I just figure this out already?”
🗣“Why does it feel like I’m circling the same block emotionally, with the same damn people and problems rearing their ugly heads?”
🗣“What am I not seeing? What am I missing? What is wrong with me?”
You've heard you need to regulate your nervous system, fix your mindset, or balance your cortisol and hormones and gut microbiome a bit more.
You've heard you just need to challenge your limiting beliefs and chant affirmations.
You've heard you need a business plan. A career map. A financial plan.
But you know deep down that if one more person offers "advice" on something you need to FIX internally in the name of "wellness" or "personal development" ... that is likely something you've already tried - you're going to scream.
That sound like you?
Good news, you're not alone.
And you're not off base for wanting to scream
(In fact, I highly recommend screaming. Possibly in the woods...)
The truth is - you're not something that needs fixing or optimizing.
You're not designed to simply follow a protocol or "upgrade your mind software" with some expert's interpretation of what you should be, do, have, and want.
No - all that well-meaning advice, protocols, doctrines, and frameworks - they're boxing you in.
They're removing you from your own expertise.
They're extinguishing your flame.
What you really need is to feel your fire.
And that ache you feel?
It’s not just a personal flaw. It's not just a hormone imbalance, and it's probably not even something to "heal."
It's a clue.
<If you just sighed that deeply knowing sigh of relief hearing that you don't need to heal or fix SOMETHING ELSE, then also please know -- I see you>
It's a clue that you’re not broken. It's a clue that you're not doing anything wrong.
No, it's simply a clue that you’re just boxed in - boxed in to a system that isn't designed to contain or honor you.
That boxed-in feeling has a name around here — and it’s time we call it what it is.
The Conformity Corset is a cute name.
But it's squeezing your desires.
Most women in your shoes know one thing clearly: They don’t want to stay where or how they are.
Maybe the details of what’s next are blurry, or maybe the vision is crystal clear. But what they do know is that this current life no longer fits.
Yet, instead of letting desire breathe and expand, it gets squeezed, boxed in, and muted.
Why?
Because the Conformity Corset presses tight, making you shrink your fire to preserve the fragile peace of your relationships and the fragile safety of your identity.
It looks and feels like:
😑 Clenching your jaw while smiling through someone disrespecting you — like when your colleagues and "friends" celebrate “mental health awareness” and "balance" and "taking care of yourself" but leave you off the group chat when you set a boundary
🤬 Silently seething when your spouse is oblivious to helping out —
Like when your kids descend on your quiet work-from-home day at 3 PM and ruin your focus while your spouse is obliviously sending you TikToks instead ... but you don't want to appear angry or mad because when you do, that sets everyone else off
💊Swallowing more supplements than self-trust.
You catch a vague body cue and head straight for the next “expert” masterclass. The webinar makes you feel informed — and even more confused. ou tell your clients to do less. Listen inward. But you’re in ChatGPT and facebook groups again, hoping someone will finally give you the “right” way.
😥 Taking a moment alone in the shower to let the tears fall with "I Can Do it with a Broken Heart" blaring —
Before pulling yourself together behind an eye mask and concealer, and a big dose of L-theanine, to show up calm and capable for your clients and family.
🥰 Longing to daydream and fully live, even in the most simple ways.
You brought home tomato and marigold starts for the garden you’ve been dreaming about, but between work, dinners, and some semblance of a self care routine, they sit on your windowsill. Part of you already knows you’ll give them to your neighbor — whose garden is always blooming — because tending to your own feels like too much to hold right now.
If you can feel yourself inside the squeeze of the Corset as you read this - whatever that feels like for you - I want you to know I see you. You're not alone.
And most importantly - if you hear me say nothing else - please hear that none of this is your fault.
But maybe you're wondering how it got like this.
And of course, you might be wondering what to do about it, yeah?
Here’s the truth of why you're in the Conformity Corset
Most women like you don’t find themselves shielded from the fire in the Conformity Corset because you're afraid of the heat.
You're often shielded here because you've shrunken your intensity, passion, or voice to avoid rocking the boat with people in your life.
Usually the people who mean the most to you (parents, friends, spouses, siblings, colleagues, mentors)
If you've ever been worried what people will think when you show your true colors, this is what I'm talking about.
And it's not "mindset issue." It's really really REAL feminine neurobiology.
You've been wired as a female (reinforced by oxytocin and societal/cultural conditioning) to preserve peace in inherently un-peaceful environments instead of fully expressing yourself.
...and when we add in modern day expectations to "take care of yourself" this means you're doing everything possible to try and make yourself feel peace from within that Corset.
That’s the real kicker of the Conformity Corset.
It keeps you swimming in place and trying to heal from within it instead of swimming freely.
The problem is, you’ve reached the point in life where you've started to feel and discern what you really want and who you really are — or at least, at a very minimum, what you don’t want and who you really aren't anymore.
But the corset tightens anytime you try to reach or expand yourself outside of it.
The truth is - we as humans are wired more strongly to preserve the bond of belonging than we are to pursue the desire of purpose and authenticity.
This is why you ache. This is why you yearn. This is why you feel constrained.
You know you’re meant for something else — even if the details are still foggy.
Desire doesn’t disappear. It compresses. It waits.
It hides behind supplements and self care routines and healing regimens.
But the other (hard to swallow) truth is - you can't fully heal inside a container that isn't designed to contain all of you in the first place.
It’s time to stop turning your desires inward on yourself and instead - set them free and let them move.
Swimming in place in order to keep the peace might keep you afloat and feel productive … but it also keeps your sacred Soul fire under water.
You weren’t meant to just tread water — you were meant to swim.
But this isn’t about becoming someone new.
It’s about sinking in to uncovering the fire of your Soul’s Story —
who you already are, what you’re meant to do, and who you’re meant to rise alongside.
That last point is the most important - you can't fully be yourself or fully follow your heart's purpose unless the people around you fully support you.
Needing support from others doesn't make you weak or in your "lower self."
It's the final ingredient that is required for you to fully incarnate and BE, DO, and HAVE all that you're meant for in this divine, human life.
Which means -- it's not just about your own inner work.
It's also about the outer, scarier work of stepping out of the Corset and really determining, defining, and seeking people who support you being outside.
Which is exactly what we'll help you map out in the Summer Soiree.
Sounds amazing, right? I can see you nodding now,
which means it’s time to get your hands on this quiz
🔥It's time to Sink in and uncover your Summer Fire...
☀️SUMMER
Shine & Soar
🍁AUTUMN
Harvest & Release
🌱SPRING
(Re)Birth
& Sprout
❄️WINTER
Rest &
Rebuild
Like all things in nature -- you and your Story are built to naturally ebb and flow through various seasons and energetic states of life.
At the birth and developmental stage of your Story, things are Sprouting, and are vulnerable and need a lot of tending, cultivating, and pacing (SPRING)
Once you're steady on your feet, you shine and BLAZE fully and energetically in your Story with confidence, assuredness, and support (SUMMER)
Eventually, that iteration of your Story matures and it's time to reap the harvest -especially when it comes to your work and your relationships (AUTUMN)
And finally, it shifts back into the rest and gestation phase - where you rest, digest, and new visions of your next chapter formulate under the surface (WINTER)
If you've been feeling like things are slow and sluggish, and you're itching to get your story out - good news. It's go time. It's summer. Let's uncover that fire!
Here's how we'll light your fire
We'll use the Sink and Swim method to go from containing your sacred fire inside the Conformity Corset to instead swimming into your Soul's Story, all in the energy of the warmth and freedom of SUMMER:
🔥Sense
Sink in - what’s actually happening inside your system when you live inside the Conformity Corset?
Go from hiding your tears in the shower and holding it all together with L-theanine, filters, and concealer —to gently tuning in to the real squeeze the Corset has on your body, mind, and soul.
🔥Uncover
What and whose stories and rules are stitched into your Corset?
Go from performing self care to sinking into the richness of self-trust and reconnecting with your own Soul's wisdom — uncovering the hidden clues, stories, and invitations from your body and intuition
🔥Move
Where is your energy and aliveness bound down by the Corset? What wants to move and become free?
Go from holding tension and pushing through sweet smiles and placating to keep the peace when you really want to scream, to freeing and disentangling your Soul Story through a sacred somatic discharge
🔥Muse
Breathe oxygen into the embers of your Soul's desires smoldering inside.
Go from silencing the stirrings of your soul — to inviting them to be your muse: the gentle, persistent, sacred GPS guiding your next brave step.
🔥Embrace
Where are you ready to climb out of the Corset? What needs to extra support & care?
Embrace both the fierce AND parts of yourself as wholly feminine, divine, and human parts to be fully seen, held, and celebrated..
🔥Rise
What new shift will be fueled by the fire you uncovered today? How will you Swim forward?
Gather for live and personalized coaching and go from doing it all on your own the “right” way at the expense of your own nervous system and Soul — to getting the support to breathe life into your own voice, agency, and sovereignty to take your next bold swim outside of the Corset.
Note: even though Summer energy tends to be "full throttle" and "alive" for a lot of people, we will be titrating this at YOUR pace.
Each step is a gentle unwinding. A movement from compression toward freedom. A shift from obligation to soul-informed orientation.
You won’t fix or force anything here. Your process may look completely different from your neighbor's. And that's perfect, because that's how we know it's YOURS.
You’ll sense, move, release, and reconnect — layer by layer — until your system begins to remember the shape of the warmth and freedom of SUMMER.

Who is this for?
This is for Luminaire Women who are big thinkers, deep feelers, leaders and mentors in your life, work, and relationships
You're emerging into a new chapter in your life, work, and/or relationships (bonus points if for you, it's all 3...) -- and ready to reveal this new chapter and Story to the world.
One of my most treasured gifts is to simultaneously help you put words around the hard-to-describe parts of your Story and reveal them in a way that's palatable, tangible, and fun.
If that sounds like your jam, I invite you to join us as we SUMMER
Theme & Dress Code: Summer Soiree (Optional)
If you feel aligned – Think Summer Soiree. Let this means whatever this means for you. Or not!
If you’ve been in my corner of the internet at all, you know I love a good theme party. But just because I’m dressing a certain way doesn’t mean that you have to.
🌞 A Gentle, Sparkly Heads Up
This Summer Solstice space is soulful, somatic, and likely to stir a few embers of truth and feeling (in the best way). It's here to help you illuminate hidden parts of your Soul's desires that are aching to be seen and lived...all while harnessing the inherent power, strength, and wisdom within them.
But let’s keep it grounded:
✨ This is not therapy nor a substitute for mental health treatment or clinical care.
✨ We won’t be diagnosing, prescribing, or diving into trauma (in other words, we're keeping it trauma-informed), especially not in a live group setting. We will be honoring what’s alive in you with presence and care.
By signing up, you’re affirming that you have the inner and outer support you need to hold yourself with care—whatever rises.
I’m here to guide you toward your own wisdom. You bring an open heart and mind, I’ll hold the space.
Alsooooooo, if you've made it this far you might have already gathered that this is an active, participatory ceremony. You'll be moving, speaking, and engaging.
And if you're an introvert who just read that and cringed a thousand cringes - please know you only have to engage when it feels cozy and safe. Nothing forced, promise.
But here's what it's not - it's not a sit-back-and-be-a-fly-on-the-wall-with-your-camera-turned-off-while-you-fold-laundry kind of Zoom experience.
🔥 I'm enchanted to meet you 🔥
Hey there! I’m Julie, a Soul Storytelling Guide and Truth Illuminator. You can think of me as the doula for your Soul's Story.
I've worn a lot of hats, told a lot of stories, and shifted my narrative through so many seasons of life -- seasons of growth, harvest, rest, and rebirth.
Career-wise, I've been a collegiate athlete, a card carrying career-ladder climbing clinician, researcher, professor, and speaker. I've been a solo clinic owner. I've mentored and coached thousands of women across the globe. I've led a teams of all sizees.
I've built a million dollar business that delighted me and I've also torn it down (on purpose) when I outgrew it.
Personally, I've had heartbreaks. People I thought were my closest allies turned out to be anything but.
I've had cancer. I've rewritten the narrative of my relationship with my body, mind, and Soul.
I used to "college athlete" my way through each narrative shift--thinking if I could just go faster it would be easier; but the very act of trying to skip over the vulnerable parts is exactly what made my nervous system, spirit, and body totally out of whack.
And it made me never feel fully rooted and grounded in whichever story I was telling.
Amidst all of that, the most important lesson I have learned is letting go of the masculinized, go-go-go approach to living, loving, working, being, and achieving.
Instead I've developed and stepped into a more seasonal, feminine approach.
The truth is -- as a female -- we are wired to be, do, and have differently. We are cyclical and "seasonal" creatures - just like nature, the moon, and the tides. We are also wired to be surrounded in community of like-minded females.
Most importantly, we as women are wired to receive, bless, and celebrate -- instead of living in a neverending hyper-competitive focus on what needs to be fixed, improved, or upgraded.
We are Divinely designed to co-create and celebrate among others who are here to challenge, nuture, nourish, and celebrate us just as we are.
I created this Summer Solstice ceremony not only for you but for me. It's a wonderful time to pause and ground into our very super powers -- the Divinely feminine energies -- timed perfectly and intentionally with the seasons of nature.
I'd love to invite you to join this blessing and ceremony and come see what being fully attuned to yourself and your Story -- and being showered with attunement from other like-minded Souls who truly *get* you in this SUMMER season.
🔥 You might have some questions 🔥
01
When is the Summer Solstice Soiree & how long will it last?
The tea party will be Wednesday, June 25 at 5 PM Eastern Time (US). It will last approximately 2 hours.
02
Who is this Soulstice Soirée for? Do I have to be a woman in healthcare?
Nope! This event is designed for ambitious, empowered women (or people identifying as women) who feel caught between their true self and the expectations of the world — especially those ready to explore their Soul Story with depth, courage, and community. To the PTs, coaches, female athletes, entrepreneurs, and other specific groups I've specialized in serving in the past -- this is definitely for you.
03
What is on the agenda?
It'll be a joyful mixture of woo, sisterhood, visioning, narrative writing/scripting, and celebration. Its an intimate, heart-centered gathering filled with embodied practices, guided reflections, soulful connection, and gentle invitations to explore your identity, purpose, and belonging.
04
Is it cool if I need to come late or leave early?
We'll be starting right at 5 PM ET. So that I can stay focused on the attendees and so that other people's experience is not disturbed and interrupted, please arrive on time. If you know that you tend to run late to things, now is the time to plan ahead to arrive right on schedule. If you choose to duck out early, no problem. I have faith that you will receive exactly what was meant for you in the time you are able to stay.
05
Do I need prior experience with coaching or personal development to join?
Not at all! Whether you’re new to this kind of journey or have been on the path for years, this evening is for anyone craving a soulful reset and fresh clarity.
06
Is this basically a webinar or coaching call?
No. I won't be flooding you with information. I'll be facilitating a blessing and ceremony. Some parts will be energetic and full of movement and activity. Other parts will be introspective and reflective with writing. Some parts will invite you to use your voice. Others will be quiet. At the end there will be time to discuss, ask questions, and receive coaching.
07
Is this a promo / will you be pitching or selling?
No. While I have hosted countless delightful events in the past that included an offer to join a program, that is not the intention of this event. That said, if you feel something stirred in you from reading this page or attending the event, and want to find out more about how we can work together, definitely reach out.
08
Since it's virtual, can I get the recording if I can't come?
Nope, not this time. The joy and expansiveness you'll feel from the event come from being fully present to give, receive and attune in a LIVE setting. If you aren't able to attend live, that's cool, but it may be best to sit this one out.
09
How can I get more support from you beyond this event?
I love that you're asking. I offer private support and coaching in lots of different ways. Shoot me a message (email, DM, text) and let's chat about what you're looking for and see if it's a great fit.
10
How do I prepare for the event?
Bring a journal or something to take notes, a cozy and safe space that allows for movement and maybe even making some noise, and an open heart ready to explore and expand.
