Here are 3 key takeaways:

• Intuition is Universal: Julie Iuliano explained that intuition shows up in everyday actions—whether it’s taking a new route while driving or adding a pinch of salt while cooking. Trusting these small gut feelings can lead to bigger breakthroughs and better decision-making.
• Preparation = Openness: For those curious about intuitive or psychic readings, approaching them with openness and curiosity—not fear—leads to the best experiences. Julie Iuliano emphasizes that these sessions are about clarity, support, and even fun—not doom and gloom.
• Business can be Soulful: Building a business around personal gifts can feel vulnerable, but authenticity, community support, and serving others are powerful foundations for sustainable growth.

To run a successful business, you need resources, valuable connections, and community recognition. Business Inspires will provide you with the tools, resources, and examples to inspire you to create the business you envision.

Let's Get Back To the Interview 2

Welcome to Business Inspires, where our goal is to inspire you to create the business you envision. I'm Brett Johnson, Tri Village Chamber Partnership board member and the owner of Circle 270 Media Podcast Consultants.

Thank you for following and subscribing to the podcast. With me is Katie Ellis, president and CEO of the Tri Village Chamber Partnership and co host of the podcast. It's great to be here with you, Katie.

So good to be back as always with you, Brett. And today we have the fabulous Julie Iuliano. She is the foundress of Rosemary and Sage. We're here.

She provides soul readings or psychic readings, channeling her intuitive gifts to share with others. These readings provide clarity for deeper questions that we have in life.

Julie has found within her own meditative work a deeper connection to the collective consciousness and a longing to bridge our intuitive selves within our daily living. Julie, thank you so much for being here. Welcome.

Thank you. I'm so excited to be here, and.

I'd love to start right at the beginning. What is the story behind Rosemary and Sage?

Yeah. So as you offered in that view, Beautiful introduction. It's really an intuitive space for spiritual care I found through my own personal journey.

I'm meditating. I sort of explain it like if you were to go to the cloud and get a file and several more came, and then more came and I went, what is this?

What's that? What am I doing?

And it opened up this whole world for me, and I feel like it is just such a wonderful gift that I want to give to others and just want to support others in that journey.

So how did that journey of yours with the intuition and meditation evolve into a business model? And that you could say, I think I can make some. I can live. Make a living from this.

Oh, wow. A lot of trust, a lot of this pull of feeling that again, this gift of wanting to get it out into the world.

And really, one of the core values of Rosemary Sage is community. I went to my community and said, what do you all think? Is this practical? Is this logical?

And also doing what I think a lot of other people do, seeking mentorship. You know, there's the fabulous peer support group here that I've been a part of that's been wonderful.

And working with coaches and just going, yeah, this is a thing. And just more jumping than anything.

I love that. You definitely need to have good jumping shoes as an entrepreneur. And congratulations for taking those leaps and trusting.

It can be a hard process for sure. So congratulations.

Thank you.

So for someone who's never experienced that reading before, how would you describe it, what you do? In simple terms?

Yes, I think in simple terms it's really just a beautiful space to just converse. I think it's light, I think it's fun and funny and just an enjoyable experience again of just, I think of the analogy of a book.

You know, we pull a book from the shelf, we open it up, we go to the chapter, the paragraph, the sentence, the word, and being able to dive in on an experience.

So what actually happens during a session? I guess really better question is how does one prepare to come to a session for you and make it as successful as possible?

Sure. I think it's an and both. And really for the person, it's really up to them what they want it to be in their own experience.

So what it really looks like on a nuts and bolts level, it's just a 45 minute conversation and that individual can ask questions. And I always say sort of trust or you know, if it's a question about something you're doing in your life, in your day to day.

I think it's hard for me to want to wrap it into specific examples because it's so vast and open to anyone.

And then I invite my spirit guides in sort of opening again to the cloud or the collective consciousness, the channel to open up and offer insight, depth, perspective, and a way of just sort of directing the course, sort of thinking about flowing and how do we meet that flow.

And when people hear the term psychic or intuitive, they sometimes have assumptions. What would you wish people better understood about the work that you do?

Yeah, and I think this also touches to another value I hold within. Resume Sage and thinking about breaking ourselves open, it's really just about opening ourselves up.

And I think that, that and maybe where this question would be coming from, Katie, is this uncertainty.

We crave certainty and it's really hard to just feel sort of this openness of the vulnerability of an experience and just saying, okay, I'm here to just see what happens. Because I don't know either. I'm just sort of the vessel, I'm just bringing it in.

So how do you explain intuition in a way that feels accessible to, to everyday life?

Sure, I, I hear it a lot. Something we all do is driving in a car and when we think, why don't I go this way instead of that way?

Or sometimes it could be, I don't know, I was cooking yesterday and this needs more salt. And sometimes it's really just this, just this little tug, this moment we just have this feeling, maybe it's.

If we are supporting, you know, young ones in the community of just. I have a feeling. Their shoes untied, we let go. Yeah, their shoes untie. Let me tie it. So it's just, again, just these sort of moments.

We have this thought, we go. I'm not totally sure where this comes from, but it somehow made sense.

Almost. Almost a gut feeling maybe in there.

Yeah, yeah.

In that terminology, I guess, because we always say, go with your gut, Go with your gut. But it sounds as though you working with you might actually help explain that gut feeling. Why am I having these gut feelings? Yeah, that makes sense.

Yeah. There's a lot around all of this. And I will say for myself, my own.

It has been that gut feeling and has been a very, you know, heart and intentional experience. And that might look a little bit different for everybody because we're all different people. So,.

Yeah, I was gonna say I could see that playing into whether it's personal or just with business, sometimes you don't have, quote, unquote, the research to do business, but you have this gut feeling that I know I should be doing this, but explaining, okay, where am I getting this energy from? To help you move forward, too, and even to explain to people around you, this is why I think this is important that I should be doing.

I. I could see that helping you peel apart. To answer that question.

Yep, that's exactly right.

And I really appreciate you using the analogy of salt. I consider myself an intuitive seasoner. Somehow, some way, it always kind of can turn out good, even when I don't think that it will.

And I think also to. To the point of it happening, like, differently for different people.

I have this sense within me and intuition that if we really knew how much was intuition coming our way that we're doing things, maybe not even tapping into anything because we might be distracted. How much of our intuition is being used per day? I think we would be really enlightened to know that it was a lot. Quite a bit.

I really resonate with that. And I think part of this rosemary and stage for me has been how do I follow that more and more and more. And just coming back to that.

Yeah, I don't think it will ever lead you wrong. It might make things interesting for a while, but I don't. I don't think it's a bad thing to. To practice listening to. For sure.

There are certain kinds of questions that are typical that people have when they come to see you.

There's again, I don't want to get too narrow it's more so around sort of what am I doing with this thing, I guess, is sort of the blanket overall because we talked about it so many ways. We talked about it in a business component, in a seasoning component. It can play into so many factors.

There is the component of mediumship and connection to loved ones. So there's a vastness to it. And I. I almost want to offer an openness to it again of that intuitive what.

What do we know of ourselves and what we might need?

I get the sense that when the session is completed, you're not really giving them any marching orders. You're kind of letting them walk away. But what might someone feel or walk away with after a reading?

I mean, are you giving a little bit of clarity or just kind of letting them. You need to boil with this a while.

So my hope is clarity, but I really want to anchor in on that word hope. What someone does with a reading is up to them, what they do with that information.

I have no certainty of what the download is going to be, of what's going to be said. I'm just the vessel. I'm just open to what comes through. And again, that could be some sort of groundlessness in that.

But my hope is that we're going to have fun and. And we're going to laugh and that there might be things like a sense of peacefulness, a sense of clarity, a sense of confidence that they might feel.

But really what someone would like to do is up to them.

And we've touched on it just a little bit before about preparation. But let's say someone books a session, you know, they've got maybe a week to wait. Is there anything that you would suggest they do in preparation?

Maybe things to think about or how to get ready for that session with you?

Well, as you said, just to think about what you might want to ask or know and then just know it's going to be fun. Take a deep breath. Yeah. I don't know what else besides that I think we can build up in our minds, but I think it can be just fun.

I love that you. Because obviously you have experience in doing this and you're talking about laughing a lot and having a good time saying the word fun often.

And I think how it's been portrayed in, like, movies through me growing up and everything, like, it is something like it's a warning, like, you better pay attention to this because.

Right.

And so I think that can kind of. That for someone who's never done anything like this, that could kind of be in the back of their mind.

Oh, yeah. It's so funny because I think I was very skeptical of all of this as well. And then the porta opened, if you will, and went, whoa.

And I think it's fun because it's just the people, whether we call it our legacy, our ancestors, they have our backs. And it's just a very. I don't think anything said that is going to sort of be the scary thing that we run from, as you're describing. And I think.

Right. As it can be portrayed. Portrayed. I just find myself laughing a lot. I guess that's all I can say is. And so I, like, this has to be fun.

And I think it's fun because of what becomes clear in a way of groundedness, in a way of openness, in a way of that community, of maybe an ancestral piece of support.

So you've talked about integrating intuition into daily living. What does that actually look like for someone with a busy life, kids working and everything?

I mean, can someone come from this session kind of going, okay, I need to take that time to recognize what's going on and make life a little better?

Sure. Well, and I, We.

I think we almost spoiled this for ourselves as we got into sort of the chit chat of this, because, Katie, you were sort of wondering this yourself, and I talked about sort of seasoning food and that just that little moment, I think we forget about these really simple, small moments where we can just integrate into being really present to everything.

And then again, what someone wants to do with that, it being any of the information, it gets to be up to them of how they wish to see that integrated. Sometimes an idea comes, but how they go forward with it.

Yeah. I like how you say that. Being present. I hear that more and more of just that be, be in yourself, be present to recognize.

We have a lot of noise right now. I was in a space where the power went out and just the buzzing from technology is a lot for us. So, yeah, yeah, yeah.

It can be a peaceful, peaceful thing for a little bit. And then you're like, oh, no.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

So bouncing back more to how you're weaving this into your business. What has it been like building a business around something that is so deeply personal and for some people, even unfamiliar? Sure.

And my hope is really the anchoring of what this podcast is to inspire that there's hope, that there's inspiration, but there's also, I imagine anyone saying, here's this thing, whether I made it, believe in it, think it's a need there's some vulnerability and some authenticity. And I almost feel prompted to wonder. Other business owners also must feel that way too. Right?

I think I know. Yeah, I think so.

Yeah, exactly.

Yeah.

Yeah. Well, you know, without being specific, we're not asking for specific cases, that sort of thing.

But I mean, what do you think people are really searching for right now? I mean, collectively, you've had many, many clients, you've talked to a lot of people. Do you get this feeling of generally?

It's this movement I feel, that's happening.

I know. And I think it's a lot of the stuff that we're probably all hearing already.

As I spoke about just community, clarity, kind of what are we doing, sort of some of those big questions. But then how do we understand them on that personal level?

Yeah.

And is there anything that doing this work has taught you about yourself?

Right. I think I always have a moment where I go, wow, that was fun. That was really cool. And just feeling almost how I tried to describe it.

I'm surprised I didn't do it today of what you hear in fantasy novels and just because those analogies are so nice, because we're familiar with that literature and sort of that idea of feeling that we all have this sort of magic within us, that we all have these sparks, these moments of ingenuity, creativity and. And just believing in that.

It sounds as though you get as much from the sessions as your clients.

Oh, thank you. I guess so. Yeah. I know it's asked me that, but I guess I do. I really feel like it's a gift for others.

But just that pouring in, it just creates so much, again, fun flow and I just enjoy, I guess, supporting someone through that.

Yeah. Yeah. So how can people connect with you and book a session?

Yes. Coming to my website, it's Rosemary and Sage, but there's dashes.

So rosemary-and-sage.com are emailing me or giving me call and just happy to set something up.

And I'm also happy because to some of the questions you're asking, some of this is new, unfamiliar, or we might have preconceived notions of what this is.

So setting up a time to do just a quick discovery call, just a quick, you know, 10 minute call on the phone to just chat through any additional questions someone might have that are a little more personal to them. I'm happy to do that as well.

Yeah. Yeah. Hopefully this episode's kind of opened up and answered some questions to a listener going, you know, I've been thinking about this.

This is a good episode to kind of find out a little bit more about you and what you do. That sort of. Yeah, I hope. I hope that. I hope that's helped too. And.

And hopefully given you an opportunity to kind of explain a little bit too what this is about. Yeah.

Because it definitely is misunderstood and maybe people don't even think about it, that you can actually do this sort of thing for yourself, which is.

Right.

Exciting.

And it might be a poor business model on my end and the belief that we all can sort of connect back to ourselves in these ways, connect to one another. I sort of make that joke that I also believe it. And there's a lot of different.

Trying to think of the word here, types of kind of care in all of these different ways. This is just how I go about doing it.

Right. Yeah.

That's the beauty of being part of a community. Right. We all need each other, and we all need each other to get. To show their gifts and express their gifts.

Yes. Yeah.
