In this inspiring conversation, JJ sits down with entrepreneur, coach, and community builder Julie Kraschinsky to explore what it really takes to trust yourself, take bold leaps, and build a business aligned with joy, intuition, and purpose.

Julie shares her journey from corporate sales, to 30 years in direct sales leadership, to building a thriving coaching practice rooted in faith, possibility, and what she calls Joyful Momentum.

• How Julie’s entrepreneurial journey began unexpectedly through direct sales
• The lessons she learned leading teams, earning 14 career cars, and developing as a leader
• How divorce, uncertainty, and personal hardship became catalysts for reinvention
• Why “the bigger risk may be staying where you are”
• The role of intuition, faith, and taking leaps before you feel fully ready
• Why life and business can’t be separated in true coaching and growth
• The emotional patterns that often hold entrepreneurs back more than strategy does
• Why community, support, and surrounding yourself with people who elevate you matters
• How COVID unexpectedly expanded opportunities for connection and business growth
• Julie’s GPS — Genius Power System and how listening inward creates momentum
• Why money should not be the reason you abandon a dream
• Julie’s belief that make the decision first — the money can figure itself out

“You’re always believing in something — either it can work, or it can’t. Why not believe it can?”

“Don’t let your bank account tell you what your dream is pulling you to do.”

“You are not doing business alone. Lock arms with people who help elevate you.”

“Make the decision first. The money figures itself out.”
