| Level Up With Julie

Just a girl who finally decided to GO FOR IT!

My life was filled with regrets. I spent too much time in the rat race, being a stressed-out ball of anxiety living someone else’s version of my life. I would come home after work most days and crash on the couch with zero energy left. I took advice from others who didn’t know me, tried to keep up with the Jones’, living a boring life with no purpose. Somewhere along the way I lost my identity, I wore the hats of co-worker, mom, wife, etc. and forgot what brought ME joy. A turning point in my life was a quote I read from my favorite author, Terry Goodkind, “Your life is yours alone, rise up and live it!”

I set out on a journey to “find myself”, which is a little cheesy, but I came to realize that in order to be the best mom and best wife, I needed to be my best self. SELF-CARE IS NOT SELFISH. In fact, it’s just like the masks on an airplane. Put your mask on before helping others.

Everything changed when I got my head straight, started working to balance my life and started a simple daily routine that increased my energy and overall health. Almost overnight, I left the job I hated, we sold everything, moved across the country and started living our lives. My goal was to not have any regrets at the end of my short life.

Now, I work from home one block from the beach, I’m learning how to scuba, surf, and sail as we prepare to live on a boat, traveling the world, soon. We aren’t waiting for retirement when we won't be as “youthful”, we’re living our lives NOW.

I’ve put my mask on and I’m ready to help others fix their boring lives and do EXACTLY what they were created to do! I’m excited to see you live the life you are dreaming of!

Feeling unfulfilled might not just be burnout but a sign of low serotonin levels—your brain's essential mood stabilizer. Often experienced by digital entrepreneurs, symptoms like self-doubt and lack of focus could signal that your brain is missing the nutrients it needs to produce serotonin. Fortunately, boosting serotonin naturally can enhance confidence and emotional balance without medication or excessive productivity hacks.

Entrepreneurs, in particular, thrive on serotonin, as it helps them feel competent and valued, crucial for avoiding self-doubt and imposter syndrome. Unlike dopamine, which rewards pursuit, serotonin allows you to enjoy your achievements. Simple lifestyle changes can significantly impact your mental well-being and professional satisfaction.
