Julie Lawrence is the editor of the newly launched DEFY magazine. The publication focuses on validating the experiences women have with misogyny in the workplace and offers tips and tools from professionals for how to deal with it.
Julie’s biggest turning point was getting sober after years of drug and alcohol addiction almost took her life. Julie is raw and open about that period of her life in this episode. She shares that she was in and out of rehab, detox and hospital for years. At one point, her parents wouldn’t even let her in their home unless she took a breathalyzer. She’s now been sober for more than three years.
In this interview, Julie also discusses becoming sober, learning to see the people around her as teachers and how her experiences with misogyny in the workplace led her to create DEFY Magazine.
