In 2011, Julie started a small coaching business called The Happy Life Academy to help free people from what unnecessarily holds them back. After struggling from a young age, divorce ten years earlier led her to make happiness a priority in her life. She had no idea what her quest would reveal and she wanted to share what she’d discovered with others.

 

A year later, in 2012, Julie was faced with a high stakes situation that included an unplanned pregnancy, the relationship with her fiancé falling apart for reasons she wouldn't understand for another two years, and a Down Syndrome diagnosis in week 18 of the pregnancy.

 

Applying everything she’d learned about life to this situation and what she knew about epigenetics, Julie experienced miracles and beauty beyond her wildest dreams throughout the remaining five months of pregnancy, and well beyond. Her son, now 14 years old, has thrived from birth.

 

Julie is capturing this story and the things she wishes she’d known earlier about life in a memoir. She says her story is just one example of what’s possible when we learn certain truths about life, when we live from a place of love, and when we understand the power we have to create beautiful outcomes,

no matter our circumstances.
