Worth It!
This program really helped me identify my ways of being that contributed to my being burned out so that I can shift those. It really love how Julie incorporates practical with spiritual practices and focuses on the feminine way of leadership. I leave the program feeling more empowered and clear on next steps towards creating a fulfilling life.

Bad experience
I signed up for the free call after watching the webinar and feeling as though the message really spoke to me. I appreciated they did a 1-hour free call, as this is an investment from their side into really allowing a potential client to explore the programme and what it has to offer.
I enjoyed the call, the questions the coach asked, and the overview of the programme I was provided. However, like another reviewer noted, the hard sales pitch at the end of the call left me feeling, quite frankly, gross. The cost of the 12-week program was double what I was expecting, which is fine as I'm a firm believer in pricing services in line with the value you feel they offer. When I noted that I would need to talk to my partner before making such a large financial investment (this would easily be the single largest expenditure we would make all year), the coach/saleswoman persisted in trying to encourage me to sign up- to the point where she actually asked "Is your partner supportive of you?" This for me crossed a line, especially after spending over half the conversation talking about the importance of drawing and respecting boundaries. After she said this I told her in no uncertain terms I was drawing a boundary with her and would not be signing up today.
I will also not be signing up in the future. It is not a good sign when a career coach advocating for setting firm boundaries crosses one in order to make a sale in the first hour of knowing you. I'm very disappointed, as I was looking forward to this call and have instead been left with a gross feeling.

Hi Skye! We reached out to you to chat about your experience on the free Breakthrough Call we provide, but we didn't hear back from you.
While we don't believe our free consultation call deserves 2-stars, and all of our actual client reviews who go through our 12-week program are 5-stars, we understand that you didn't like the way our coach advocated for you.
We hope you find the right support.

A New Woman!
I may look the same and sound the same on the outside but am a completely different woman on the inside that is full of confidence, has direction and is fully present with energy. I was expecting an improvement from feeling overwhelmed and maybe learn some stress management and time management techniques, but little to my surprise I gained so much more than that. Some of the self paced work is very challenging and I do not recommend it for anyone that is afraid to challenge themselves or anyone who is unwilling to set aside 2-3 hours a week to do the work. I’m glad I accidentally found this program. I have to admit, I did a lot of research before signing up. I decided all the positives gained were worth the investment in myself.

Virgi ;). It's been such an honor watching your journey. We're so happy you received so much more than expected!

My life is on course now
It’s been a few weeks now since I've completed Julie’s program and I can honestly say I feel like a different person. The load has been lightened and my priorities are clear. Awaken gave me permission to start acting on behalf of my own dreams, and it gave me the confidence and the community to do so.
I can’t begin to articulate all that I’ve learned, but the best way I can describe it is that I’ve learned how to function as an adult and what that looks like. I have a new understanding of how to process life’s stressors, and my expectations have dramatically shifted to allow room for me to feel all sorts of things, which then helps me hear my intuition, and build trust and confidence with myself.
As a bonus my emotional eating has improved so much since going through this program.
Before this program I thought something was wrong with me that I couldn’t function in a corporate job, while being a mother and wife. After this program I’ve learned how to resource myself, get WAY more help in place, and take responsibility to make myself a plan to start moving in the direction of MY hopes and dreams. My husband has commented so many times how much happier I am now.
If you’re like me and you’re searching these reviews for answers, I can assure it is not a scam. For me this program was truly an awakening, an investment in myself to course correct and start living a more meaningful life, and a breath of fresh air so be amongst such a supportive and comforting community. If you want to SLOW DOWN, change your patterns and enjoy life, this course is for you.

Life changing
Today marks a very special day! I joined the program this day last year and Julie said make note of this day as it’s the day as you’ll look back on a year from now and remember it as the day your life changed. I kind of curiously looked at her when she said that and I thought ‘ok we’ll see’. But now one year on to the day, she was so spot on! I’ve been through huge changes mentally and physically (I lost 20lbs!) although that is just a happy circumstance of been coached on the tools and skills to balance my life, manage burnout and look after myself properly. The program eases you into change and it’s been so refreshing to have a community of amazing women to grow with. It is definitely a case of life before the program and life after the program. Im just so grateful to the program team and coaches and feel blessed to have found this community when I did.

Emma! I loved that you posted this a year after you graduated the program - what an incredible testament to all you have done to implement the tools and stay the course!

Sensational Journey of the Soul
Awaken! The process captivated me from the initial phone call, throughout the series of steps that involved finding my authentic self again, confronting recurring or unexpected obstacles that impede momentum and growth. I learned how to merge dichotomies in my life with specific and effective forms of communication. The support groups have unique training, skills and life experiences that helped me identify some deterrents. I now have some powerful tools with which I can unveil all possibilities and create new ones for myself, family, community and beyond.

Best Investment in Myself I've Ever Made
This program is the best financial and personal investment I have ever made in my life. It is worth every single dime, minute, and hour I spent and as a result I received the most amazing gifts, many of which I could never have imagined possible. What I really loved most is the great amount of support and guidance I received from so many different individuals. Unlike other coaching experiences (which I researched and looked into), this program provided me not only a set curriculum (with an amazing set of tools and a powerful guiding structure), I received coaching from so many different individuals whose particular focus is slightly different. I really loved having access to the different modalities and not just making my work in the course based on practical strategies that are head/mind focused. It was a combination of all the aspects of my being that made it so powerful (mind, heart, and spirit).
Not only did I receive support in various modalities with experts in each, but I was assigned a coach who was consistently present and helped me move through the program. She was kind but also pushed me to really question what I've always said and done and in turn then provided practical strategies to move through difficult moments. I also really enjoyed the components that also included the larger group of women in the program. I have always been a true believer in the power of women coming together to support each other as they move through life and so when I was told I would be able to get to know others just like me, seeking coaching and getting help, I knew this would an added layer which would serve as absolutely invaluable. After 3 months in the program, I can say this was also extremely important to my overall experience, it really helped me not feel so alone in my experiences. I believe this is the power of the program, in that coaching is constantly happening and we're learning from each other.
Overall, Julie's coaching program is extremely robust, thoughtful, and provides structured ways of caring and loving each client. If you're wondering if it's worth it to spend this amount of money and invest in yourself - don't doubt it for a minute. As a woman who struggles financially due to significant investments in my traditional education, I wondered if I knew what I was doing and if this would be worth the money. Honestly, the amount you receive out of this program, is worth MUCH MORE than what you actually pay for. My new way of life and the way I approach life and my body in regards to my mindset is just literally priceless. Honestly, the cost of the program is an absolute steal when you see how much you're provided not only in support but just knowledge and coaching.
