01
Julia began a carpentry apprenticeship at 35 and accomplished her dream of building a home for her two children. After approximately six years working in construction on an island outside Seattle, building became both a craft and a way of seeing what is possible.
02
Through her books, Julia builds stories around healing, transformation, courage, history, and possibility—giving interior change a shape readers can hold.
03
Julia brings an honest, lived perspective to conversations about resilience, reinvention, and the courage required to begin again.
04
The work begins with curiosity: about the lives we inherit, the futures we imagine, and what can emerge when we trust ourselves enough to make a new chapter.
Community
Julia volunteers for The DOVE Project, a local nonprofit in her community that supports victims of domestic violence.
What comes next
The next chapter remains open: future books, writing, speaking, and evolving work that continues to ask what a meaningful life can become.
