A Note from Julie: I'm Julie Sedler- a chemical engineer by training, but a storyteller at heart. I have spent years journaling and writing down my latest inspirations on random post-it-notes. This has brought the ‘in the moment’ commentary and perspective to my books, courses, and coaching. I released my first memoir, Watch Me, in 2023 on how I transformed my life after divorce. I learned first hand that my new life would cost me my old one.All the ‘tuition’ I paid for the experiences of tearing down my life, rebuilding it based on my own dreams, and breaking the cycles of ingrained conditioning for what I should want and do has led me to create my courses, workshops, and speeches to help others who find themselves in the same situations I did. I am here to help others by guiding them on their own path of self-discovery and growth.I can be found on Instagram @Julie_Sedler_Author, Threads @Julie_Sedler_Author, TikTok @Julie_The_Author, and at www.juliesedler.com.
