Julia is building a family – her way. Along the way, she is asking anyone and everyone about how they came to make the decisions they did regarding family life.

Join Julia as she explores the concept of today’s modern family on her podcast, Stork’d. Julia talks to everyday friends, family, neighbors, and experts sharing their own journey to define and create a family. When she is not hosting Stork'd®, Julia runs a private investment firm which acquires, operates, and improves businesses at a crossroads. She loves supporting businesses to grow and evolve.

Ep. 28 - w/ Kenzie Burke

Sat, 24 Sep 2022 00:05:00 +0000

On this episode, I’m with Kenzie Burke (and I’m really excited about it, as you’ll hear)! We discuss her younger years and what inspired her to move to Los Angeles, her past as an accidental wellness influencer and her new clothing line. We chat about manifestation and discipline and all the things that drive her and have led to her success. Kenzie isn’t afraid to change direction and let her intuition guider her. The way she faces fear is so inspiring and you’ll feel a fire within you just listening to her speak.

Kenzie Burke is the founder of BRÛLÉ; a clothing line whose namesake stems from its definitional association with fire. For founder and designer Kenzie Burke, fire is the impetus from which artistry springs forth. After gaining acclaim in the health and wellness space, Kenzie burnt it down to launch her lifelong passion: a clothing line.

Kenzie Burke previously managed a wellness social media account and created a podcast with more than 600,000 downloads. She also produced three health and wellness books and a superfood line of biodynamic coffee and cacao. In 2021, she disengaged from wellness and focused solely on fashion.

Ep. 25 - w/ Arrae Founders Siff & Nish

Mon, 06 Jun 2022 07:00:00 +0000

On this episode, I'm with the founders of Arrae Wellness products, Siff Haider and Nish Samantray (aka a power couple)! We discuss their amazing Bloat and Calm capsules, which aid in the rest and digest process, as well as my favorite topics - morning routines and manifestation. Below is an excerpt from their website as to why they started their business:

"I’d struggled with health issues for years and turned to natural remedies as a last resort. After troubleshooting my own health problems through the use of herbs, minerals and vitamins, I realized that natural products had the power to solve women’s toughest day-to-day health issues. The trouble was that I couldn’t find natural, organic, high-quality supplements which solved targeted problems while being beautiful. I wanted to bridge this gap and bring women an efficacious product which really spoke to them."

- Siff Haider

"Coming from a tech background, health and wellness isn’t something that’s talked about enough. Because of this lack of education, I’d dealt with high levels of stress and fatigue and didn’t even have the vernacular to realize that I had these issues. Having been introduced to natural products, I became passionate about building a brand that would educate others and make a lasting impact on how they felt."

Ep. 9 - w/ Meghan Oddy

Mon, 18 Oct 2021 07:05:00 +0000

In this episode, I had the opportunity to chat with Meghan Oddy, who I recently connected with through our shared manifestation practice (TBM for those who are familiar!). Meghan shares how she manifested her out of state move and transitioned from a lot of toxic habits and a corporate job, to eventually owning her dream storefront and living a more true life.

Before manifesting all of this, Meghan had to overcome generational trauma, unhealthy habits, victim mentality rooted in childhood, and learn how to remain deep in her self-worth.

Meghan found it crucial to reframe setbacks as opportunities for growth, and that spending tons of time in nature helped her gain clarity in her manifestation practice.
