Near-Death Experience
On 8/24/24, during a severe allergy attack, Julie’s soul headed to heaven as her body lay in an ambulance in her cul-de-sac. She wasn’t gone long, but it was a life-altering experience. Do you want to feel HOPE? To hear from someone who stood at the gates and heard directly from the Lord? Julie combines this talk with her testimony and stories of some of her personal challenges and overcoming. Humor is included! This talk is one of victory and speaks of service to those who need it the most. Leave feeling deeply encouraged that God truly sees you, hears you, understands you and loves you so much, He can’t wait for you to join Him there someday.
Julie also has stories with angels in them that she loves to share.
Abuse & Abuse Recovery
As an abuse survivor and advocate, Julie has received hundreds of hours of training in domestic abuse and healing. She also retains hundreds of hours of leading recovery groups for other survivors. She is well-versed in multiple abuse-related topics including (but certainly not limited to) what abuse really is, how to find out if abuse is present, when to get safe, how to set boundaries, how to help your kids who’ve witnessed abuse, how churches and spirtual leaders can help, recovering from abuse and much more.
Trauma, Grief & Recovery
With her share of trials and then some, Julie has experienced numerous challenges throughougt her life. Some of these include teen and young adult years of fleeing from the Lord, the loss of a sibling, financial ruin, birthing a premature baby, medical and health issues, dealing with addicted family members, divorce, death of a spouse, abusive relationships and more. But God keeps a hand on her life just like He does yours and has turned all of these situtations into good as she chose to heal. What is the secret to thriving after so many challenges? She would love to share more with you.

This was excellent – best presentation on platform that I’ve seen. Thanks for doing this! Rachel Lulich
You were an excellent teacher (as you are with me)…clear and concise and offering a lot of value for that 1 1/2 hours. I really did enjoy it and learned quite a bit…I’m inspired to get back to work on my blog and other social media! Lynn Shortman
If you missed the online seminar yesterday, you missed a great opportunity. Julie did an outstanding job explaining how to build a platform using your website. Thanks to OCW for educating and encouraging members even while we stay at home. -Donna Hues
