About Me
How this started ( and why it’s still important)
Hi, I’m Julie.
I live in Muskego, Wisconsin. During the day, I work in Talent Acquisition leading a team and hiring people for a local contractor.
Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with friends, family and hanging out with my two dogs, Millie and Finley. But I’m also happiest when I’m outside — walking trails, sitting by the water, or in my kayak during the warm months. I often get lost in my thoughts daydreaming and nature’s usually where I go to reset.
I try to cook healthy-ish meals, and try to find beauty in small, everyday things — sunrises and morning coffee are two of my favorite things. I also take a lot of pictures and will share those here. I think pictures are a great way to not only capture moments but also they’re a way to tell a story and learn about oneself.
Nourished Circle is where I put it all together — the thoughts, the habits, the in-between stuff that makes up real life. It’s not about being perfect or polished. It’s just me showing up, writing things down, and seeing where it goes. I’ve spent most of my adult life curious about what makes us feel better - habits, mindset, and the little things that sustain us.
I quit smoking when I was 31, started moving more and found running felt good, and I became more curious about habits and taking better care of myself.
In 2018, I became a certified Health Coach, ready to help others. I had an idea for a logo, purchased a domain, and ordered business cards. But life got busy and my focus shifted elsewhere and the ideas of what Nourished Circle would become, sort of got tucked away for a long time. I’d think about it a lot - thought about bringing it back or starting it or whatever, but the time just never seemed right. That or I was scared I’m not sure.
Why does now feel like the right time to bring Nourished Circle to life, I’m not sure. But it’s been tugging at me for quite a while and I’m ready to listen and push go…whatever that means. This is my space to share what I'm learning, reflect on life personally and professionally, and maybe, just maybe, spark inspiration for someone else. Thanks for being here ❤️
