From Teen Mom to Founder | Julie Fairhurst’s Story of Survival, Courage & Purpose

Send us Fan MailScroll down to get your free gift!She was pregnant at 14, pushed out of school, and raised three kids as a single mom for 28 years. Julie Fairhurst’s life could have stayed locked inside that story, especially after years surrounded by abuse, addiction, and chaos, where survival mattered more than possibility. Instead, she made a decision that changes everything: the past can be true without being in charge.We talk through the moment she left a government job at 29 because she wanted more, then walked straight into the hard reality of starting over. Julie shares what those early months in real estate actually looked like: tears, fear, embarrassment, standing in food bank lines, relying on a toy bank at Christmas, and eventually filing bankruptcy. The heart of her message is not hustle or hype. It’s a grounded mindset shift about stopping the wait for someone to rescue you, refusing to let fear make your decisions, and staying focused even when you have no proof it will work yet.That persistence builds into a 36-year real estate career, selling 80 to 110 homes a year and leading a team, but she’s clear about what “success” really means: becoming the woman who no longer believes her past has the final say. Now retired from real estate, Julie pours her energy into Women Like Me, coaching women, publishing true-life stories, and helping others heal through their stories so they can move forward with courage and clarity.If you’ve felt stuck, ashamed, behind, or “too broken,” press play and take one brave step with us. Subscribe, share this with a friend who needs hope, and leave a review with the label you’re ready to drop. FREE GIFT:  https://womenlikeme.aflip.in/40fb14472d.htmlStart Your Story Workbook is a gentle, beginner-friendly guide created to help women take the first brave step in writing their personal story.
