I created this mess?

Hello Beautiful friend!

I like to read; I always have. When I was a young girl, I enjoyed Nancy Drew. Then I expanded to romance novels, then on to mysteries. When I was introduced to personal development and then on to universal laws, I became what you could call obsessed. I can’t get enough of it! 

I have been researching how the brain works and educating myself on neuroscience—it’s fascinating! Thus, I say in my preview, “I created this mess?”   

Science has confirmed that our thoughts and feelings create our results. If we believe this, then we have to acknowledge that what we are living today is a result of our thoughts from the past. So, if this is true, let’s create the new future we truly desire.

It’s hard to believe I would have wanted this situation
It’s hard to believe that I would have wished...

Yikes I’m behind on my goals

Good morning!

Could a mindset reset regarding your goals on January 1 be in order?? We sometimes set these Big Harry Audacious Goals because we think we should or see others doing it. Do you feel like it’s “too late” to accomplish what you intended to do?

Take a step back and look at the goals. Are they reasonable? Are they out of touch? Are they a big stretch? They can be all of those and still be attainable. 

Not what you thought I was going to say??

If you’ve been in my space for any length of time, you know that I believe anything is possible when you have faith, a clear vision for what you desire, AND you take intentional, feel-good action. 

It’s so important that we take time to celebrate what is working and take our focus off what we have not yet accomplished. This is more difficult than just changing your mind on a dime. It takes practice. I have a JOLT for that! (First, acknowledge your feelings;...

Make work fun again, please

Happy Monday, Soulful friend!

Is your “to-do list” longer than hours in the day? Is it daunting? Is it a bit overwhelming? Do you wonder how you will ever accomplish all that you desire??

Being overwhelmed and having too much to do causes the most stress for many women entrepreneurs. Is this YOU or someone you know? Feel free to share this with them.

I will share a fun exercise today with a short JOLT to accompany it. This is taken from Abraham Hicks with a recent reminder from one of my favorites, Dana Wilde.

It’s called The Placemat Process.

Play with me? Grab a piece of paper. Draw a line down the middle.

On the left side, write down all the things that need to be done by you. On the right side, write down everything you want (God, Universe, Infinite Intelligence) to do for you! The list on the left should be a long laundry list, like a brain dump. 

Now look at your list and choose only what you MUST do today or would enjoy...

Got big goals but don’t feel like working?

Hi Beautiful!

I’ve been there! I want to make a difference. I want to feel accomplished, but I can’t find the motivation. 

I want you to know….it’s ok……. We were taught that the only way to accomplish things was to get up, make your bed, do your rigid morning routine, and set good habits. 

Yes and no! These things are all great, but what about you focus on how you feel first? What about feeling good about yourself and all that you DO have before you do any of those things? 

Those things differ from moving the needle forward in your business or life goals. If you are beating yourself up, feeling guilty because you did not check off all the items on your “to-do list,” or feeling like you wasted your day, none of those things mean a darn thing. And I am here to give you permission to release it and let it go!!

Let it go, and let’s GO…… this...

Break free from waiting, shape your destiny today

Hello Soulful Friend,

Have you ever had those times when you keep hearing the same messages? It may come from different sources and slightly different ways, but still, you feel The Universe trying to get your attention. That was me last week, so I wanted to share a JOLT I created for myself. 

But first, let me tell you what kept showing up for me. I was "tired of waiting" for the perfect time to start something. A new, healthier way of eating: exercising more consistently, drinking more water, launching an idea, taking up a new hobby, spending more time with friends and family, and less time working, etc. All of these have been my thoughts, and as I began implementing this new leading-edge growth, my results were not coming fast enough!

So many of us are waiting to go from "here" to "there ." But in reality, there is no "there". We only have here and now. So many of us believe we will be happy when… I get this, I have...

JOY in the Bucket List

Good morning, beautiful!

This morning, I wanted to share a piece of an email I subscribe to; one of my mentors, Dana Wilde, has been a positive inspiration to me for years! She exudes “JOY” and happiness. That is why you subscribed to this Weekly Dose of Joy, right? You’ll find it below my JOLT.

Continuing my theme of the most often heard and said word, “BUSY,” let’s tackle this monster together so we can live a life entirely of ease, calm & JOY!

[JJJ - Julie's Joyful JOLT]

I’d love to have more JOY in my life
I’m pretty satisfied most of the time
I’d still like to feel more JOY
I should be thankful and grateful for what I have
I’d still like to feel more fulfilled
I have a pretty good life
I’d still like to have a better life
I feel pretty happy most of the time
I’d like to have more time to do more of what I love
I find myself saying, “I don’t have the time.”
I find myself...

Did your team win?

Happy Monday Morning!

Did you catch the big game? If you're anything like me, the thrill of cheering for your team can be both exhilarating and heart-wrenching, depending on the outcome.

Hailing from a town just outside Buffalo, NY, I've witnessed firsthand the highs and lows of sports fandom. I remember when our Buffalo Bills made it to the Super Bowl four years in a row. It was an electrifying time for our community, but unfortunately, each year ended in disappointment. The pain of those losses lingered long after the final whistle blew, leaving us with a case of the dreaded Monday blues.

Reflecting on those days, I can't help but draw parallels to the challenges many women business owners face today. Just like our beloved Bills, they pour their hearts and souls into their endeavors, tirelessly striving to "make things happen." But despite their best efforts, success seems elusive.

And that brings me to this week's

Happy Heavenly Birthday, Dad

Hello gorgeous!

I want to share a little history in the month of celebrating President's Day, Mardi Gras, Black History Month, Valentine's Day, and Ash Wednesday. My father would be 110 today. He passed away in 2009 at the age of 95 on my son's birthday. We honestly didn't think he would last more than a year after my mom passed in 1992. But he had a purpose, and that was his grandchildren. They brought him JOY.  

He also enjoyed golfing, sitting outside daily soaking up the sunshine (even in Buffalo, NY, in winter), and smoking a big cigar. (It's not my favorite, but sometimes I smell it and think of him.) This was his joy.

"Whenever I visited him, he never failed to extend his generosity, whether it was the $20 he had won at the horse races or a generous gift of $100. He offered it without strings attached, expressing that witnessing our enjoyment brought him immense joy. His only wish was to be present and share in the pleasure as we...

Transform exhaustion into energy! 

Happy Monday!

Mostly, women are the ones who question themselves the most. Have you heard a man say, “I don’t know what to do?” “What do you think I should do?” “I’m so confused, and I keep going back and forth.” a BIG NO

This week’s JOLT - (my method of Joyfully Overcoming Limited Thinking) focuses on when you have a vision for where you are going; even if it’s just a feeling or a nudge, do not question it. Just keep with it long enough for it to be revealed to you.

[JJJ - Julie's Joyful JOLT]

I often ask myself what it is I truly desire
Do I really even know
What would I really love to do
What is it that I am here on Earth to do
What is my real heart’s desire
What would I love
What brings me the most JOY
I love being (insert) of service
I love (insert yours) sharing what I have learned
I love guiding people to their true calling
I love knowing that I DO have a purpose
I love...

Good morning beautiful,

We are halfway through the first month of the year! Time flies, as they say!
So let this weekly dose of joy be your sign to take some BOLD action. 

Do you know what is holding you back from living the life that you would genuinely love? Fear? (False Evidence Appearing Real) Judgment from others (Does other people’s opinions of you really matter?) 

Playing the “B-U-S-Y” card? (This is what Warren Buffet thinks about that: ‘Busy is the new stupid.’) YIKESThat doesn’t feel good.

2024 - The Year of More - The Year to Soar - The Year I will strengthen my core.
What if we focus on the number “24”? 
The day - not the year. Would that remove worry, anxiety, and fear of what tomorrow will bring and can I get it all done?

Let’s bust the “I don’t have time; I’m too busy” myth with

Do you have a trust issue?

After conducting some recent market research, I discovered that a common obstacle was women needing to be more trusting and trusting themselves.

Does this resonate with you?

Several women wanted change in their lives but didn’t seek support because they didn’t trust themselves to do the work.  

This time of year, many set intentions, New Year’s resolutions, and promises to themselves. Several weeks in, the feeling wanes, and we slip back into the old routine and way of doing things.

You want to believe you can change.
You want to trust yourself to follow through.
You want to know you are going to do it this time.

But do you believe it? Will it stick this time?

I’d love to offer some reframing of this limited belief so you can live a life full of JOY, ease & abundance. You don’t have to do this entrepreneurial journey alone. Try this below.

Happy 2024!

WoW! This last year flew by so fast; did it for you, too? 

Please share your most significant successes with me so I can celebrate with you.
I promise to respond to each one of you!

I pick a word or phrase to kick off each year. Earlier this year, I said I was already using Simplify to Amplify and would use it in 2024. I will keep that in mind as I apply the less is more philosophy and focus on what is most important.

Taking time to reflect these last few weeks has also helped me to be more intentional. I am adding FOCUS (Follow One Course Until Successful) and CONSISTENCY to my mantra as this will create a new habit that I can rinse and repeat ~~

I like how it feels to create a Consistent FLOW~  

We are starting the year without a JOLT, but I am sharing some of my favorite affirmations.  

If you are new to my community, I designed the JOLT (Joyfully Overcoming Limited Thinking) to JOLT myself into a more positive mindset.

Enjoy these...
