about
Julie
Hi! Parent of two teenagers--in entrepreneurship terms, I've been an early investor in two high-growth startups, and am working on two successful exits to adulthood.
I'm all about finding what make us successful in our professional roles and applying them them to parenting. Add in wisdom from psychology, community building and faith traditions, and we might just thrive even in the wildest years.
