Julie Santiago Coaching | We Are The WomenReviews of juliesantiago.com

WOW! The version of my self before this program is long gone and the real ME has come to the surface. It's incredible how much we sacrifice to try and get "ahead" when the most important thing we need is self-care, compassion, and love. I forgot this for many years... I am now a thriving entrepreneur who is in love with herself which radiates to those around me. I no longer second guess my "gut", no longer look for reassurance, no longer say yes to things that don't serve my values and purpose. Please give yourself this gift... YOU DESERVE IT!

When I started the program, I was… Overwhelmed, tired, ready to walk away from a job I loved - though I knew if I did I would have all the responsibility again - I was in a cycle. I was highly over achieving, over functioning, and over helping. I felt the weight of the world, and the COVID response on my shoulders and my nervous system was out of whack. The woman I am now is… present, loving, trusting, kind, calm, and clear. She is a wiser strong version of who I was. I recognize the important role my pitfalls played in surviving a pandemic as a leader in pubic health, and now I know how to slowdown. I know I have the tools and ability to COME BACK TO ME if I find myself wobbling or going back to old patterns. I feel my feelings, I know the importance of letting people show up and how to do it. I contribute to the world - I am not responsible for it. I am responsible for what is mine and I let everyone else be response for what is theirs. I know how to build and lean into pillars of support. I ask for help to grow and give to others. I filter my decisions through my big rocks. I lead from within - I am a stronger mom, wife, supervisor, and leader. Through this program the weight of the world has been lifted from my shoulders and my nervous system reset.

The woman I was before I joined this program was on a perpetual burnout cycle. Work was all consuming, I felt stuck on a hamster wheel, and was always pushing myself to do more and achieve more. Thanks to Julie and her wonderful team, I learned the tools I was so desperately needing in order to reestablish equilibrium and reconnect with myself to create a more fulfilling life. This program was everything I was seeking and so much more! I have participated in many women's leadership and development courses throughout my career, but no one does it like Julie and her team! Investing in myself and committing to this 12 week program was one of the best decisions I've ever made.

Julie's program found me. I was overwhelmed, burnt out and had been through some trying times. I knew in my soul that I could not continue to live this way, and wanted a way out (but had no idea how to get there). I was huddling in a small coastal rental with my dogs, trying to find some peace. Instead, I found Julie's video and felt like it was written for ME! I reached out, followed the process, and ultimately jointed the program. I had some serious hesitation and fear- and am so glad I listened to my heart and chose the program. It changed my life and the lives of everyone close to me. Julie's program and approach was exactly what I needed. I felt so supported by her, and all the other women in the program, and also challenged to get to the next level. I have never in my adult life felt such a connection and trust with so many women, all of us in a similar boat of overdoing, people pleasing, perfectionism, etc. I learned so much, and this journey has continued. The trajectory of my life has changed, how I react and how I grow. I don't think I could have made it during this pandemic without the tools I learned here, at least not without a negativity. If you are ready for this, and willing to do the work, you will never regret following this path.

I was in a very frustrating and overwhelmed place in my life mainly due to overload at work, feeling overworked, underappreciated and uninspired. Scrolling through FB I came across a post from Julie Santiago. She posed a question ... do you want to reclaim your life, reclaim balance? Absolutely yes.... I admit, I was skeptical, but where I was in life, I knew something to change and I was not able to flip the switch myself ... I had tried, but old habits and patterns kept pulling me back in. I had an intake call and we talked about where I was currently and what I was searching for. They say, when the student is ready, the teacher will appear. Well, I must have been Ready in a big way. The 12-week program sounded like what I needed, so I signed up. I did have a moment of buyers remorse because I just don't invest in myself... but it had gotten to a point where I had to take a stand for me... and this program sounded like the right support system to get me there. I am now 3-weeks post-program and I am in a TOTALLY different place. The program guides you to dig into your patterns, habits to get to the root... then tools build week over week as you put together a clear plan and support to get you out of the pit and reclaim all you want and why. I've had the clarity to determine what's working, what's not and how to change. Today I've realized I needed to switch jobs in my company, which I did, right at the end of the 12 week program and I am in a totally different place. I literally feel lighter and brighter. The coaches are fantastic... they know how to peel the layers away, giving you the space and guidance to scrub out the old and prepare for the new. The community of women is truly magical. Having contact with so many powerful women who are on the same journey is incredibly supportive. When I started the program and was feeling like I the pieces were good, but not fitting together. I was getting frustrated... but talking to my coach and during the weekly calls I would hear from women further in the program who encouraged me to stay the course, do the work and the pieces will meld together ... and they did. I am amazed at the clarity I've found; the new behaviors, patterns and thought process I've adopted. I filter my decisions through a ME based approach... and I can say balance is returning in a big way. If something in your gut is telling you this is the place, the time and the course, you owe it to yourself to listen to that inner voice and talk to one of Julie's team members. You'll learn about the course and your gut will tell you if it's the right program and time. If you jump into the course, do so with both feet... trust the process... lean on your coach and the community. I'd love to see you on the other side!

Awaken your life program has changed my life! Julie, the coaches and Voge have opened up doors for me that I never thought possible. The simple and practical practices are easy to follow but powerful at the same time. I was worried about sharing personal things in a group setting but who cares when you become a part of an amazing sisterhood! To anyone reading this - investing time and effort in this program will pay you back leaps and bounds! Not only for you but for your loved ones also.

I highly recommend Julie Santiago’s Awaken Your Life program. As with all personal and professional development programs, you get out of it what you put into it. Julie is an amazing coach. She inspires, motivates, teaches, supports and leads by example. Her laser focused coaching is insightful and compassionate. Her staff is top notch. I value being part of the AYL alumni community. I worried that I wouldn’t like the group coaching model, but having gone through it, I now understand the many benefits of this model. It doesn’t replace 1-on-1 coaching, though this program does provide some of that, but the group coaching model provides a peer group as well as multiple coaches to learn from. If you’re serious about making changes in your life, this program works.

I joined this program at a time where i felt depressed and helpless because changing jobs didn't get rid off my problems, they seemed to follow me even into this new environment. I found Julie Santiago on Facebook and that night watched the webinar, it told me what i think i already knew but couldn't accept: it was my patterns that were keeping me down, and i knew then that I had to join this program. As most women, I was hesitant to join mainly because of the financial and time commitment, but i took the plunge because for 11 years i had been unhappy and it was time to finally do something about it. I devoted myself to the program, I did all the work, joined all the calls and something switched within me, it's hard to pinpoint but i'm a different version of myself and i can handle life and work without getting overwhelmed. This program might not be for everyone, but for those of you who have no life outside of work and want something else, this might be the thing you're looking for. I'm forever grateful for AYL and my new sisterhood :)
