What do you do when the life you spent decades building burns to the ground in just 21 days? For Julie Halbert, the "fire" started in 2018 with her husband Jim’s sudden cancer diagnosis. By the time the smoke cleared, Jim was gone at just 51, and Julie was left standing in the ashes of her "old" life with their two sons.

Instead of trying to rebuild what was lost, Julie chose to reflect, reinvent, and rise. She traded the courtroom for the bedside, becoming a death doula and transformational soul coach. Today, she is the living definition of our mission to survive and thrive. Listen in as Julie shares her love, her loss, and some helpful tips on how you can rise out of the ashes and live life fully awake.
