Hey friend,
This week’s episode hits deep. I sit down with my dear friend, powerhouse creative, and solo mom of three,
Juli Forde to talk about what it really looks like to start over. From navigating a military marriage and parenting solo during deployments to rediscovering her identity post-divorce, Juli shares the raw, beautiful truth behind what it means to bet on yourself.
We talk about:
✨ Letting go of the “perfect family” narrative
💔 The courage it takes to leave when love isn’t enough
💪 How solo parenting cracked her open and made her stronger
🎨 Why starting a creative business was the lifeline she didn’t know she needed
🔥 The exact moment she decided to go all in on herself
💡 Key Takeaways:
Midlife is a mindset, not a number
Leaving something doesn’t mean failure—it might just mean choosing yourself
Vulnerability is strength, especially when it inspires someone else
You don’t have to leap, but you do have to move
Betting on yourself is never wasted energy
