Helping us lead
with hope

Unlock courage, face feelings we'd rather not, and build futures we are genuinely passionate about.

ASU Clemson Penn State TEDx Toyota

When Dr. Julia opened our organization's largest event of the year, she proved to be much more than a speaker. Dr. Julia's talent, dedication, presence and delivery undoubtedly elevated the experience for all of us.

I don't recite speeches. I create spaces for real human connection.

As a psychologist, I speak to the core of our generation's most complex issues. Through stories and science, I provide an interactive space to have what we innately desire most: connection.

Together, we create more than an event; we build experiences for real transformation.

Lowering the barrier to entry

I used to think the worst thing anyone could call me was weak. I didn't believe in therapy and it wasn't something people I loved spoke of or knew how to access (or could afford).

After touring the country for the past decade and hearing millions of stories from youth to adults, I realized I wasn't the only one.

We can't always alter external landscapes we're up against, but we can level out the internal field we're on.
