Part Demand.​Meet 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.I am here to help others by guiding them on their own path of self-discovery and growth.*More available on ​my website​ or by request ([email protected]) using discount code: writerYou can connect with Julie on social:@Julie_Sedler_Author on Instagram @Julie_The_Author on TikTokYou don't want to miss hearing Julie's story.
