How do you keep moving forward after unimaginable loss? In this deeply moving episode, I sit down with my cousin Julie Cini, founder of Advocacy Beyond Borders, as she shares her journey through the heartbreaking loss of her two daughters to Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA), the sudden death of her partner, and how grief ignited her purpose.
Julie’s spiritual awakening began in the darkest of places, but her story is one of resilience, healing, and fierce advocacy. Through her experience, she’s helped change lives across Australia and the world, leading the charge for newborn screening, SMA treatment access, and global support for rare disease communities.
What You’ll Hear in This Episode:
✔ Julie’s story of losing two children to SMA and how it shaped her life
✔ How grief became the catalyst for spiritual awakening and soul purpose
✔ The evolution from mother to advocate and global educator
✔ The importance of saying no, setting boundaries, and choosing self-care
✔ How signs, dreams, and spiritual connection keep her daughters close
✔ Her mission to empower rare disease families through Advocacy Beyond Borders
✔ What it means to keep moving forward when you feel like giving up
Whether you’re navigating grief, seeking deeper purpose, or simply want to be reminded of your inner strength, this conversation will stay with you long after the episode ends.
