What Happens When You Finally Stop Forcing It? (Ft. Julie Meyer)

About this episode

Julie Meyer discusses her journey from high-performance business to embracing a more intentional life.

She spent years mastering the game of business… only to realize the real work was learning how to let go. Julie Meyer spent decades building a global consulting firm, working with some of the world’s biggest brands. Julie opens up about the reality behind high performance—the patterns, pressure, and identity tied to achievement—and what it took to step away from it all. From becoming a “recovering hustler” to embracing a slower, more intentional chapter of life, Julie shares what it means to rebuild from the inside out.
