This is a Fan Fav episode. From growing up in a world where women were told to disappear and serveâand taught their worth was only found in silence and subservienceâto writing a book called Brazen and stepping into the world as an empowered entrepreneur, Julia Haartâs story is one of radical transformation, resilience, and the relentless pursuit of freedom. In this episode, I sit down with Julia to uncover how she facedâand still facesâthe deeply ingrained fears and shame of her upbringing, how she redefined her worth, and her honest truth that confidence isnât the absence of fear, but having the courage to act anyway.
With raw stories, stubborn hope, and practical wisdom, Julia lays out how to break free from limiting beliefs, rewrite your narrative, and boldly claim your own powerâeven when every part of you wants to retreat to the background.
