Curating Career Life Stories: How Did I Get Here? Ep. 119 with Julie Ulstrup

Join me for the career reflections of Julie Ulstrup, founder & CEO of Julie Ulstrup Photography. Her journey starts following her love of photography, but then she abandons her dream to get a “real job”, one in sales that ultimately leads to twenty years in academia and career counseling. Her love for photography continues to pull her, and with a leadership change at her school it’s the right time to explore going out on her own. She then finds an incredible mentor/coach who helps her launch her photography business and she couldn’t be happier! She even gets choked up talking about it! What’s served Julie best is courage, following her heart into what she really knows & believes to be true. Words of wisdom, she’s got two, one from her dad: “If you don’t ask, the answer is always no, so ask for what you want.” And for the second she quotes Marianne Williamson: “When we let our own light shine, we give others permission to do the same.”
