Highly recommend!
I did Awaken and now I'm in Rise. Julie's program helped me find joy and purpose again and come back to myself without giving up on my career. It also helped my relationship and helped me heal some of my wounds though it's a life long journey. I highly recommend this program!!!

I would have quit my job if it weren’t…
I would have quit my job if it weren’t for the coaches and insight from the Awaken course through We are the Women. This program has helped me get my life back on track and enjoy my life again! I highly recommend this program for anyone who is looking to stop overworking and end the burnout.

One of the best decisions ever made
We Are The Women has truly been life-changing for me. Joining Awaken, then Rise, and now Rise Mastery has been one of the best choices I’ve ever made. It helped me shift from living the life I thought I had to live to creating a life I genuinely want to live. I’ve changed the way I look at myself, my choices, and what’s possible for me.
Julie and the entire team are incredible. The support, coaching, and genuine care I’ve received have been beyond anything I could have asked for.
In a world that can feel so full of noise, WATW has become my place of peace, clarity, connection, and love. I’m incredibly grateful I found this community — and even more grateful for the person I’ve become along the way. I look forward to the next chapter.

What a beautiful journey! I love that you’re no longer living the life you thought you had to live, but creating the one you truly want. So grateful to witness your growth, and so excited for your next chapter. ❤️

I burned out twice in four years.
I burned out twice in four years.
Apparently, once wasn’t enough. I’m an engineer—I believe in repeatability. 🤣
For years, I knew how to achieve:
Work harder.
Solve everything.
Be competent.
Keep going.
It worked… until it didn’t.
Awaken and Rise helped me find Shinta again.
Not résumé Shinta.
Not high-performing, “I’m fine!” Shinta.
Just… me.
And then came the discovery nobody bothered to tell me for almost 50 years:
PEACE IS A SUPERPOWER.
Excuse me?! Where was this information?! 😂
I thought peace was the reward you got after everything was accomplished.
Instead, I’m learning to live and work from peace.
Plot twist: I didn’t lose my ambition, my edge, or my excellence.
I just changed the fuel.
Less anxiety, proving, and perfectionism.
More peace, curiosity, and joy.
Engineer Shinta is still here.
She still loves complicated problems.
She still has spreadsheets.
Obviously. 🤣
But now she rests. She receives. She laughs more.
And she gives considerably fewer f*ks about things that don’t deserve her nervous system.
Shinta found herself again.
Turns out, she was there all along. ❤️
Thank you, Julie Santiago and We Are The Woman, for creating the space that helped me find my way back to her. ❤️

This made me smile. ❤️ You didn’t lose the ambitious, brilliant woman you’ve always been - you found a new way to fuel her🔥. Watching you come home to yourself has been such a gift.

We Are The Women - An amazing journey
I joined the Awaken program at a point of extreme (to say the least) burnout. It’s the best thing I could have done for myself. Not only were the weekly lessons amazing fueled with great tools but my absolute favorite part was the community.. a group of hard working women…a group I could finally relate to. I chose to continue onward with the Rise program and am super excited to continue to grow and evolve. We Are The Women has truly changed my life and will continue too for the better. I am so happy I took that first step and scheduled the free one hour call. Best choice I could have ever made!

Julie and her coaching team have made…
Julie and her coaching team have made such a difference in my life as a working professional. I was in the midst of burnout and didn’t know where to go next as all of my previous ways of handling things didn’t work. Now I feel more fulfilled in my every day life and have the tools to manage future challenges. Thank you, Julie!
Response from Julie Santiago Coaching | We Are The WomenSep 10, 2026

Julie and the WATW team operate with the highest integrity — so impressed!
I am wrapping up my time in the Awaken program through We Are The Women. I have been SO impressed by the quality of the program and the integrity of the entire team lead by Julie Santiago. Awaken has a satisfaction guarantee that is very clear and straightforward. If you fully participate in the program and are not satisfied you can get your money back.
Anytime something happens that might be even the smallest bit inconvenient they are quick to offer solutions and ensure you get the full value if not more than what you are expecting. For example, my coach needed to reschedule a 1:1 coaching call at the last minute. No big deal. Not only was I able to reschedule our time easily, but they also added another call to the end of by program. I didn't ask or expect this.
Also, the support team, a wonderfully kind and capable woman named Happy, is so responsive and goes out of her way to make sure any questions or issues you have are resolved quickly.

Thank you so much for sharing this, Amy! It means a lot to the team. Providing a supportive, high-integrity experience for every woman in our community is something we care deeply about, and it’s wonderful to hear that reflected in your journey. Thank you for being part of We Are The Women. ❤️

If this sounds like you, let go and step in
Now 2+ years into the WATW journey, I have learned a host of new ways to re-center and calm my nervous system, I have re-discovered my heart, and reconnected with my soul. I am part of a sisterhood in which I feel seen, heard, and safe. I’ve moved from spinning, exhausted, and lost to inspired for each day and the future. I feel calmer and more connected to the wisdom that lives inside me, and more at peace knowing my people and the universe have my back.
Are you an achiever, usually stepping up and doing for others, feeling perpetually overextended and overburdened, not knowing quite where to turn, wondering what having a community to lean on and grow with would be like, and longing to feel freer, lighter, more hopeful, more empowered to seek who you were meant to be with this “one wild and precious life”? If this sounds like you, Julie, Michaela, Heather and the WATW community is a path well worth exploring. Awaken (Level 1) can help connect and ground you so you can start to prioritize nurturing yourself, breathing easier, and showing up to life in ways that feel so much better. Rise (Level 2) provides a framework and extended safe space to explore when, how, and why you got off track and catalyze deeper healing. Do it for your loved ones; do it for yourself. Show up with an open mind and be ready to evolve in ways you can't yet imagine.
