Hi, I’m Julie. Glad you’re here!

Life’s busy, so I’ll cut to the chase. My deepest, most fundamental why? To see you get free of what’s holding you back so you can go after what matters most. That’s it in a nutshell. Unfortunately, it’s anything but simple.

And I would know. For YEARS, I wrestled and wrestled to make my dreams real. I strove for clarity and direction, but all I could seem to do was spin out in self-sabotage until I wore myself down to a defeated, despairing, self-doubting nub.

But even in the darkest times, I could never shake the bone-deep conviction that I was born to help people move beyond their limits and pain, to reach for a life that seemed impossible. Somehow, I knew I was here to help them free themselves and follow the call of their Soul.

That’s what my coaching and mentoring is all about: gaining clarity, taking practical steps, letting go of what doesn’t work and then watching life utterly TRANSFORM.

WHAT MAKES MY SOUL SING

I've probably bitten off more than I can chew, but ...

I’m writing a novel that’s, shall we say, a bit stuck in the ditch. I’m over 100,000 words into a manuscript that’s part fantasy/science-fiction, part romance and part cluster. I’ve been working on it far too long, but I love it, and I’ll get the dern thing done. Eventually.

But don’t hold your breath or you’ll die. : )

At 50, I finally caved & started making art.

This is such a perfect example of how we get in our own way with fears of failing, waiting for permission and just good ‘ole fashioned procrastination. Nothing like living half a century to get your head dislodged from its dark crevice and face Sacred Desire head on.

This mixed media piece is part of my Prophets, Shamans & Sages Series. I had my first shared art show with husband, Keith Murray, in the fall of 2022 and was stunned to sell almost every piece. I could scarcely believe there was a market for what I was doing. But there was, and that revelation was a game-changer.

Another caving and I surrendered - to walk the path of the Mystic.

For a Christian conservative born and raised in the Bible belt, the acceptance of this way of walking with the God of Israel (and His Messiah) has taken the longest to embrace.

I was taught that mysticism was not only dangerous, but heretical – and totally contrary to the Scriptures. But as I was brave and faithful to walk the path set before me, I eventually learned that nothing could be further from the truth.

I traveled to Ireland with my best friend.

No tours, no schedule. We just rented a cottage and a car and drove ourselves all over the place for two-and-a-half exhilarating, exhausting, blissful weeks. It was a revelation to come home to a place I’d never been.

We immersed ourselves in the stunning, ethereal landscape. In the pulse and thrum of its elemental mystery. In the warm embrace of its people and their SOUL music in pub after pub. Before I leave this earth, God-willing, I’ll go back.

I started The Soul Alchemist Podcast.

It’s a series of exploratory discussions into what it means to live bravely, sometimes subversively, from the transformative place of the Soul.

Soul Alchemy is about making the inner truth conscious – so we don’t keep repeating the same patterns that keep us stuck and cut-off from our God-given power and possibility.

Becoming conscious of the truth at this level sets us free … free to be the human authority of our lives, do our radiant Soul work, and serve the Divine – on the Divine’s terms.
