Episode 49: If you're new here...THIS IS ME

If you’re new here…this is me

In this episode, I’m reintroducing myself and sharing the heart behind Share the Good Juju. I talk about who I am, what this podcast really means to me, and why I almost didn’t start it in the first place.

I’m a multi-passionate entrepreneur, a lifelong Wisconsin girl, a thrifter, and someone who’s constantly learning, growing, and figuring things out in real time. This space isn’t about having it all together—it’s about being honest about the messy middle and finding light in everyday life.

We’ll talk about mindset, comparison, confidence, feeling stuck, starting over, and all the little moments that somehow teach us the biggest lessons. You’ll also hear pieces of my real life woven in—thrifting, entrepreneurship, wellness, and the thoughts that don’t always get said out loud.

If you’ve ever questioned yourself, felt like you’re not “enough,” or wondered if anyone would even care to listen…you’re not alone.

This is a place for real conversations, small shifts, and showing up as you are.

I’m so glad you’re here. Let’s share the good juju

00:00:01,240.7384144176 --> 00:00:01,780.7384144176
Well, hey there.

2
00:00:01,780.7384144176 --> 00:00:05,590.7384144176
Welcome, welcome to the Share Good Juju Positivity podcast.

3
00:00:06,70.7384144176 --> 00:00:22,960.738414418
My name is Julie and I have been doing this podcast for probably over a year, but it's time for me to really do what I wanna do and follow my dreams and, um, really commit to being more consistent with doing this.

4
00:00:22,990.738414418 --> 00:00:23,50.738414418
So.

5
00:00:24,700.738414418 --> 00:00:33,340.738414418
Just thought I would do kind of like a little, this is me sort of episode where we kinda, I kind of chat with you about what I'm about and what kind of, what you can expect here.

6
00:00:33,340.738414418 --> 00:00:36,970.738414418
So, um, just a little background on me.

7
00:00:36,970.738414418 --> 00:00:39,10.738414418
I'm a lifelong resident of Wisconsin.

8
00:00:39,550.738414418 --> 00:00:48,910.738414418
Um, I've been married for 38 years and have three grown kids, five grandkids, and I've always been entrepreneurial.

9
00:00:49,300.738414418 --> 00:00:53,830.738414418
And right now I am very multi-passionate in that realm.

10
00:00:53,830.738414418 --> 00:00:57,760.738414418
I have my toes dipped in several things.

11
00:00:57,760.738414418 --> 00:01:10,450.738414418
I am a full-time, well full-time, um, vintage clothing and um, I guess things reseller.

12
00:01:10,450.738414418 --> 00:01:14,890.738414418
I primarily source and sell in Fort Atkinson.

13
00:01:14,890.738414418 --> 00:01:16,210.738414418
I sell my vintage clothing.

14
00:01:16,210.738414418 --> 00:01:18,520.738414418
I also work, um, there at lava.

15
00:01:19,360.738414418 --> 00:01:21,250.738414418
LABA Vintage clothing in Fort Atkinson.

16
00:01:21,250.738414418 --> 00:01:27,280.738414418
And then I also work and sell, um, things at Five Star and Tes and Vintage in Fort Atkinson.

17
00:01:28,330.738414418 --> 00:01:34,360.738414418
So I've been doing that for, I think we've opened the store like three and a half years.

18
00:01:34,480.738414418 --> 00:01:37,390.738414418
Um, and I absolutely love that.

19
00:01:37,840.738414418 --> 00:01:40,420.73841442
I love sourcing, I love shopping and can ask anybody.

20
00:01:40,450.73841442 --> 00:01:42,430.73841442
I am, I've always been that way and.

21
00:01:43,165.73841442 --> 00:01:47,905.73841442
Up until then, three and a half years ago, I didn't really know you could make a living at it.

22
00:01:47,935.73841442 --> 00:01:50,455.73841442
So I've been doing that and it's super fun.

23
00:01:50,965.73841442 --> 00:01:53,125.73841442
Um, I've also been very wellness minded.

24
00:01:53,125.73841442 --> 00:02:11,605.73841442
I am trained as a health coach and I was doing coaching for several years and then decided to, um, kind of let that go a little bit and started doing the clothing and doing the reselling and thrifting, and I love that.

25
00:02:12,235.73841442 --> 00:02:13,345.73841442
So much, so, so much.

26
00:02:13,345.73841442 --> 00:02:21,475.73841442
But, so then I also do the podcast, so I'll be really kind of digging in a little bit more to those couple of things.

27
00:02:21,475.73841442 --> 00:02:25,735.73841442
Another thing that I do have is a coworking space in Jefferson with two other partners.

28
00:02:26,305.73841442 --> 00:02:29,695.73841442
So we have two different locations for our coworking right.

29
00:02:29,695.73841442 --> 00:02:30,865.73841442
In Jefferson, Wisconsin.

30
00:02:30,985.73841442 --> 00:02:35,335.73841442
So, um, we might, I might be sharing some of those kind of things.

31
00:02:35,425.73841442 --> 00:02:35,875.73841442
Um.

32
00:02:36,880.73841442 --> 00:02:38,740.73841442
So just a little bit about me, kind of.

33
00:02:38,740.73841442 --> 00:02:43,600.73841442
I am someone who shocker, um, I overthink sometimes.

34
00:02:43,660.73841442 --> 00:02:46,90.73841442
Um, I get in my head a little bit too much sometimes.

35
00:02:46,480.73841442 --> 00:03:00,460.73841442
But one of the things about me is I love deep conversations, which is why, um, I do interviews sometimes on the podcast you'll see that I, um, find like a business owner or someone in the business realm that like I can chat with.

36
00:03:01,430.73841442 --> 00:03:07,10.73841442
And you can listen to the past episodes and hear some of those, um, which are super informative and fun.

37
00:03:07,490.73841442 --> 00:03:20,990.73841442
Um, another thing about me that I've learned through therapy is I have a tendency to hide, um, and try to disappear, um, and stay small at times, which is what I've done the last probably six months with my podcast.

38
00:03:20,990.73841442 --> 00:03:22,640.73841442
So I hit some hiccups.

39
00:03:22,640.73841442 --> 00:03:28,250.73841442
I kind of got stuck in some comparison things, which I'm sure you guys can relate to.

40
00:03:28,550.73841442 --> 00:03:29,60.73841442
Um.

41
00:03:29,980.73841442 --> 00:03:43,510.73841442
I was kind of frustrated with myself and, um, I really had decided that maybe no one was listening or I wasn't really reaching the people I wanted to reach.

42
00:03:43,510.73841442 --> 00:03:47,710.73841442
And so I've decided this is what my podcast is really about.

43
00:03:47,710.73841442 --> 00:03:49,60.73841442
I've done some soul searching.

44
00:03:49,60.73841442 --> 00:03:53,320.73841442
I've done some like, you know, journaling and, um.

45
00:03:54,40.73841442 --> 00:03:55,780.73841442
I really wanna talk about real life.

46
00:03:55,960.73841442 --> 00:03:58,60.73841442
Real life, the real life mindset.

47
00:03:58,510.73841442 --> 00:04:08,470.73841442
I wanna have honest conversations about life and challenges and, um, I wanna talk about growth, um, without perfection.

48
00:04:09,400.73841442 --> 00:04:15,190.73841442
Um, which is why I said, you know, I've been like putting off doing this episode and recording this.

49
00:04:15,790.73841442 --> 00:04:21,70.73841442
For probably two months because I was worried it wasn't gonna be what it was gonna be.

50
00:04:21,70.73841442 --> 00:04:24,220.73841442
It wasn't gonna be right or wasn't gonna say the right things.

51
00:04:24,220.73841442 --> 00:04:26,140.73841442
And I was like, you know what? Today I'm just gonna record.

52
00:04:26,710.73841442 --> 00:04:28,390.73841442
And so I'll learn as I go.

53
00:04:28,420.73841442 --> 00:04:37,600.73841442
Um, so that is, um, that's kind of why I'm recording today because I was like, f it, I'm gonna do it.

54
00:04:38,20.73841442 --> 00:04:38,800.73841442
Um.

55
00:04:39,220.73841442 --> 00:04:44,200.73841442
I really try to find the, the, the light in the normal, in those everyday moments.

56
00:04:44,530.73841442 --> 00:04:48,220.73841442
I try to stay more, um, positive if I can.

57
00:04:48,790.73841442 --> 00:04:49,690.73841442
Not always.

58
00:04:49,690.73841442 --> 00:04:57,730.73841442
I mean, I mean, that's life, right? Um, it's about real life, you know? That's just, that's just what it is.

59
00:04:57,730.73841442 --> 00:04:59,440.73841442
We gotta, we gotta be real with each other.

60
00:04:59,440.73841442 --> 00:05:02,500.73841442
So, you know, I've been, I've been.

61
00:05:03,40.73841442 --> 00:05:05,410.73841442
In the business world for over 20 years.

62
00:05:05,410.73841442 --> 00:05:10,540.73841442
I've done many multi-level marketing things, been successful in those.

63
00:05:10,870.73841442 --> 00:05:12,340.73841442
Um, I've earned trips.

64
00:05:12,340.73841442 --> 00:05:16,630.73841442
I've, um, you know, I've, I've made some great connections.

65
00:05:16,660.73841442 --> 00:05:20,920.73841442
I've learned a lot about myself and a lot about business, and I wanna be able to share that with all of you.

66
00:05:21,430.73841442 --> 00:05:27,730.73841442
Um, I wanna share those moments of doubt that I'm having, and maybe I can relate to some of you and where you're at.

67
00:05:28,945.73841442 --> 00:05:33,715.73841442
And maybe your own struggles and that comparison paralysis that we talk about.

68
00:05:34,165.73841442 --> 00:05:40,375.73841442
Um, I've had seasons where I've questioned everything and I think I'm coming out of this season, which is great.

69
00:05:41,305.73841442 --> 00:05:46,615.73841442
Um, so those are kind of like some things that I've been kind of thinking about.

70
00:05:47,365.73841442 --> 00:05:48,865.73841442
I really just want to.

71
00:05:49,900.73841442 --> 00:05:52,180.73841442
Let you know why this matters to me so much.

72
00:05:52,270.73841442 --> 00:05:58,570.73841442
Um, I want, I want you all to feel less alone and more like you have someone on your side.

73
00:05:59,20.73841442 --> 00:06:06,280.73841442
Um, I wanna share my real life experiences with you, um, and I wanna create something meaningful in a community.

74
00:06:06,430.73841442 --> 00:06:13,300.73841442
And so even if one person listens and feels a little lighter, I feel like it's worth it, right? Even though.

75
00:06:14,80.73841442 --> 00:06:21,160.73841442
When I look at the downloads and look at how many people have seen it, um, I need to like, not worry about that.

76
00:06:21,160.73841442 --> 00:06:27,700.73841442
So, but I want you to be able to take something from it and for all of us to grow and learn together.

77
00:06:27,700.73841442 --> 00:06:40,300.73841442
So kind of what we're gonna talk about, um, in the months to come and is really, you know, our mindset, um, and real life growth.

78
00:06:40,750.73841442 --> 00:06:41,380.73841442
Um.

79
00:06:42,565.73841442 --> 00:06:52,795.73841442
I've learned some things along the way when it comes to wellness and thrifting and, you know, and my coworking and business, and I wanna be able to share those with you guys and maybe you can share things with me and we can learn together.

80
00:06:52,795.73841442 --> 00:06:59,605.73841442
So if you're feeling stuck, if you're feeling overwhelmed, um, you know, we're gonna chat about it.

81
00:06:59,605.73841442 --> 00:07:07,255.73841442
So we're gonna talk about confidence and your self-worth and those kinds of things, um, in those everyday moments.

82
00:07:07,255.73841442 --> 00:07:09,685.73841442
So I'll share my thrifting halls with you.

83
00:07:09,685.73841442 --> 00:07:11,95.73841442
Perhaps I'll share.

84
00:07:11,485.73841442 --> 00:07:19,315.73841442
Um, I'll share, you know, what I find when I'm thrifting, maybe what I bought something, what I sold it for, that kind of stuff.

85
00:07:19,315.73841442 --> 00:07:23,875.73841442
So what to look for, how to, how to look something up and what it's worth.

86
00:07:23,875.73841442 --> 00:07:27,475.73841442
And, you know, all kinds of those everyday things that I'm doing that I think I can share with you.

87
00:07:27,475.73841442 --> 00:07:30,925.73841442
So, um, so we're gonna mix some real life.

88
00:07:31,105.73841442 --> 00:07:37,105.73841442
We're gonna mix some growth and we're gonna, you know, find meaning in those everyday things, um, that we're.

89
00:07:37,480.73841442 --> 00:07:38,440.73841442
That we're doing.

90
00:07:38,650.73841442 --> 00:07:41,440.73841442
So I loved thrifting.

91
00:07:41,470.73841442 --> 00:07:44,350.73841442
I love wellness and I love chatting.

92
00:07:45,460.73841442 --> 00:07:46,360.73841442
I love talking.

93
00:07:46,360.73841442 --> 00:07:49,420.73841442
I love meeting new people and I'm better one-on-one.

94
00:07:49,420.73841442 --> 00:07:50,890.73841442
I've learned that about myself.

95
00:07:51,880.73841442 --> 00:07:56,260.73841442
So, um, I'm gonna hopefully connect with you on that level.

96
00:07:56,260.73841442 --> 00:08:00,370.73841442
So, um, I want you to feel seen.

97
00:08:00,430.73841442 --> 00:08:02,410.73841442
Um, I want you to feel understood.

98
00:08:03,70.73841442 --> 00:08:12,670.73841442
I want you to help you make some small mindset shifts that will, um, you know, make some positive steps toward your day being lighter.

99
00:08:13,390.73841442 --> 00:08:18,640.73841442
Um, it's, I want you to give that little boost that says, it's okay, I can do this.

100
00:08:18,730.73841442 --> 00:08:22,210.73841442
So that's kind of what I'm about and what I stand for.

101
00:08:22,330.73841442 --> 00:08:25,870.73841442
Um, so if this resonates with you, you're in the right place.

102
00:08:26,920.73841442 --> 00:08:28,870.73841442
So we're gonna figure this out together.

103
00:08:29,485.73841442 --> 00:08:35,665.73841442
I'm gonna share and hopefully we can connect and we can, um, you know, just learn from each other.

104
00:08:35,665.73841442 --> 00:08:37,915.73841442
So, thanks for listening.

105
00:08:38,365.73841442 --> 00:08:40,585.73841442
Um, I really do appreciate that you're here.

106
00:08:40,645.73841442 --> 00:08:43,195.73841442
And here we go.

107
00:08:43,285.73841442 --> 00:08:44,125.73841442
I don't know.

108
00:08:44,155.73841442 --> 00:08:44,755.73841442
Here we go.

109
00:08:44,755.73841442 --> 00:08:45,925.73841442
