Stop Walking on Eggshells: How to Set Boundaries with Elegance & Power with Julie Helms

What if power didn't have to be loud—and grace was your secret strength?

In this episode of Surviving Roots, host Cari Fund sits down with Julie Helms, global business leader and viral content creator, to explore what it really means to communicate with grace, lead with confidence, and set boundaries without losing your kindness.
