Choosing Alignment Over Pressure in Every Season
Woman of Influence
Identity Before Strategy
Julie argues that embodied identity must precede messaging strategy to attract premium, aligned clients.
In this special flip series episode, I sit down with my dear friend Lindsey Schwartz for an honest, expansive conversation about leadership, identity, and what it really takes to build meaningful success without abandoning yourself along the way. We talk about how seasons of growth often require shedding old expectations, redefining ambition, and trusting the inner knowing that calls you toward more alignment—not more pressure.
Lindsey shares her journey of evolving as a leader, embracing uncertainty, and choosing purpose over perfection. Together, we explore boundaries, self-trust, and why slowing down, listening deeply, and honoring your values can actually create more impact, not less.
This episode is for the woman who feels herself changing, who’s ready to lead with clarity and conviction, and who wants her life and business to reflect who she truly is becoming.
