Welcome to Episode 15!

In this episode, Julie talks about the power of thinking bigger and pushing past self-imposed limits to fully embrace your purpose.

Think Bigger, Not Just Big

• Julie dives into the idea of "thinking bigger"—taking your purpose and passion and expanding it beyond what you thought possible.
• It’s an invitation to dream without limits and imagine where your vision can truly take you.

Experimenting with Expansion

• She encourages listeners to “blow up” their dreams as an experiment, to envision the fullest version of their path and see where it leads.
• This approach challenges the fear of aiming too high and celebrates ambition as a tool for growth.

Aligning Passion with Purpose

• Julie discusses how finding what truly drives you makes it easier to think bigger and embrace change.
• By aligning passion with purpose, growth feels natural, even when it pushes you out of your comfort zone.

Hello, and welcome to this episode of our show.

And they're always fun favorite topics for me, but this is one

that's really close to my heart, and this one is

think bigger. It's not even think

big, it's think bigger. And

I. The idea is that you're taking

what you feel, your path, your purpose,

your direction, is that you're drawn to that, what you're

passionate about. And then you just do this

experiment where you really blow it up and you

start visualizing if there's absolutely no limitations.

And the limitations that we usually have when we're looking at something

big we want to do would be, obviously, time and money, and

time being the constraints of a job or constraints

of family. But if you really want to go big,

if you really want to do this big thing, think

bigger. And so that's what this episode is about. But

we're first going to recap the last episode, because at the

last episode, I kind of threw out there one of my big ideas that I

want to accomplish in this lifetime, which is the, this

new type of matchmaking service, one where

it feels like an arranged marriage,

where you're not doing the picking. And

then people,

the potential matches

are actually not developing their profile,

they're not developing their wish list, their family

members are doing this, that,

you know, one of the ideas was date my dad, match my mom. Those sort

of things where kids, that they

are uncomfortable with the loneliness of their parents, and they

really feel that if that person had some type of

partner or somebody to fill the gaps, that they

would, things would feel more in order. They would feel more

settled. You know, I think I explained this,

that like most of my 50 something, 60 something

girlfriends, they do not want to be on dating sites. They've

had, they have one or two horrible experiences, and they just check out,

and they would really like someone to introduce them to, somebody that would be a

good match. And I think, you know, so you could match your

friends on the site, you could match your, again, children matching

parents, or parents matching children, too. But the

whole idea is that you're not doing the picking, that other people are doing the

picking for you. And then the second part of it is that they

actually, all the people that are on

this site, this database of potential

people are going through this program. So

they're learning how to have an absolutely wonderful

relationship. And when I first was

introduced to the program, the three principles,

the host, which is the person that introduced me, is my wonderful friends Bob

and Marty Schall. They host the happy class in Akron.

And they play this video, and the

video was Jan and Chip

Chipman. And that's easy to remember because who has two

first parts of their names, like Bob Roberts,

so Chip Chipman. And they talk about their

experience, they talk about their beautiful

relationship that they have, how, you know, going through this,

all those things that bother you about your spouse, all those

things that are, you know, in your mind, like, all this drives me crazy. That

drives me crazy. You're trying to change this person. You're trying to,

you know, you're trying to get them to be something that you have this ideal

in your head of what a husband or a father or anything should

be. And you're forcing this

change. And when you're in this program, you realize that

fundamentally everybody is absolutely fine, there's nothing wrong with them,

you know? And so what you do is you just change your

whole approach and you just start supporting each other.

And, you know, one person has a vision of what they

need to do with their lifetime, and you have a vision of what you need

to do with your lifetime. And you find

alignment in those and you find how to support each other in where

they want to go and what they need. And it becomes this really mutual

working together. And so going through this program before you

start being matched is that you're open to this,

that it's not only the physical, it's

this alignment of goals, this alignment of

working together, this alignment of finding this

partner that is going to love adore you, support

you, be the person you need to help you achieve your

greatness. And so that's my

vision and so my goal. So, you know, when you're

thinking big, you don't necessarily have to

think, I don't know how to do this, I don't know how to make it

happen. I don't know where to go or where to start.

So for me, being an entrepreneur, it's just finding the right partner to

collaborate. Maybe it would be a new spinoff of

eHarmony, somebody that's already got all the technology, the database, they've

got everything they need, but they want to target

this audience that has become frustrated by the dating process,

they're frustrated by online dating, and

they want to have something different that is a little bit

deeper, a little bit more meaningful and

has all the elements of success. So it would be

the matching is not by the person, the matching is by other people that

know them. And then going through this program, those

things that would say, this isn't the right person for

me because of all these reasons. So once you've gone through the, you

know, the initial excitement of the relationship, there's

this, you know, questioning is, you know, you begin to

really start to throw all the questions in the mix. And the idea

is you're not looking at the person from

a who they are on the outside. You're

looking at the person from, like, more of a, you know,

this deeper, spiritual. You're looking for

this connection with their soul. When you're looking at

it from this point, then, is this the right person to support me on

my journey? And the whole, the why for the

relationship changes? And then things that may

have been a deal breaker in the past are no longer a deal breaker because

the alignment is with what you're supposed to be doing in this

lifetime. And so the ability to capture that ability to take

away all that, you know, the judgment, which is really

what ends up destroying relationships is judging.

You know, is this working? Is that working? Is this person, you know, you just

start judging everything. You're taking the judgment out of it, and you're

just really looking at the core things. Is there an

alignment here that would be successful? And

so it's a different model. It's a different. But it's, it's

saying, I've got this idea, I've got this program that works. I've got

this amazing relationship that I've had with my husband that we've

gone from this place where a lot of things really bothered me about him.

You know, there's those things churning your line in your mind

about them. You know, they're just constantly aggravating you, and where they just no

longer bother you anymore. You just, they're no longer issues. They're no longer. It just

isn't, isn't part of it. And you have this beautiful, supportive

relationship, and people even come up to us, they go, oh, my gosh,

you guys have such a wonderful relationship, and we're like, yeah,

I really. I've never had the courage to start telling them why.

I've never had the courage. So if they listen to this, they're like, why didn't

you tell us? You know? But I've never had the courage to say, hey, you

know, I've got this program. You know, it actually, you know, really

helps build this absolute beautiful relationship.

But, you know, it's, it's something that

works. So it's the idea that you think

bigger. It's the idea that I have these big ideas. I

don't have to be the person that actually executes them, but I have

something, a component of this, that I can improve and I can

solve some of the biggest problems we face. So one of the

problems that, so these are my think bigger ideas. So one of the

problems I really wanna solve is loneliness. And so the matchmaking is a

component of that. The other component of it is

these interest groups that have a similar

journey to yourself. There is a

camaraderie when people have been through the same

experiences, but they have

the same experiences based on the negative

part of it, not the positive part of it, which

is we've got through it, we've

been able to let go of it. We've been able to find a place where

we're happy again. And so whatever that

is, that trauma, whatever they went through, that,

there's this whole group of models that are saying, hey, this is the

other side of it, and this is how you get there. So there's

this. And so bringing these people together

to build awareness that you don't have to stay in the suffering of whatever

happened to you, that this is actually part of your journey, and you don't have

to suffer. You don't have to be defined by what happened in the

past. Because when you start to live in the place where you're a perfect

soul, you came into this world, you're perfect. You die. That perfect soul

dies and then happens whatever happens after, to you. But

there's nothing that can be heard, like, there's nothing that can be destroyed,

there's nothing that can be gone, that, that good. The

core part, the essence of who you are, is always there. That when

you start to operate from that, no matter what happens outside, no matter what happens,

what's experienced, no matter how, no matter what your programming

is, no matter what the, the patterns that you've told yourself and

you believe, all of that can just be reprogrammed, it can

disappear, and you can start to operate from this place. And

so, and that's really where the idea flow is.

That's where all the answers are. There's just so many ideas.

And you can say that that's, you know, back to episode

one. That's the mothership, you know, sending down

the ideas. It's the universe. It's, if, you know, you're

religious, that's God, that's spirit, holy spirit,

that's whatever that is. There is something there.

There's something to it. There's this flow of ideas that you

can tap into, this inspiration, this wisdom. And

living from this place is just amazing.

And then everybody you meet, you're no

longer judging them. You're just trying

to connect soul to soul with them. And that's what I love

about my children. Yeah, of course, I'm proud that

they're doctors, but it's not that they're

their doctors, because, again, we're not in a world of, like,

consumerism and materialism anymore. We're in a world of

alignment. And they have

taken every obstacle and said, that's not an obstacle. And

they've worked. They've worked to what they want to do. But that's not

even the proud part. What the proud part

is when you see.

So occasionally, obviously, I can't be

in the room with my daughters, but when we're in

public and there's somebody around us that needs help

or they need assistance with something, this,

or we're around an old person, like my oldest

daughter. That's her. She loves old people. Just

loves old people. And the.

The idea is that you see the patient, you

know, you see that hole, you see the person you don't

see. You're not judging the circumstances that got them

there. You're not judging. You're just supporting them where they are. And she

is just such, so beautiful at connecting with

these old people. It's just. It's like a really moving

experience. The way she talks to them, the way she connects with them, the

way she sees them, to the way she supports them. It's like

everything I've been trying to teach them, that they're like, no, mom, that's gentle.

You sound like a cult mom. You know, like, that's all that, you know, and

that's how your kids are. But they actually got the message. They got the

message. They see the person, they support the person, they connect with the

person, and that there's this healing moment

there where that person is being heard.

My goal would be that then that they can show the

person that the suffering, the mental

suffering component of this doesn't need to be there. Yes, there is a

physical suffering. There is physical pain. But we can actually.

If you really get good at this, if you really embrace this whole idea and

everything that you don't have to live in your head. You don't have to be

turning on the victim of it,

you know, I'm never gonna be able to do this. I'm never gonna be able

to do this again. You know, this pain, this

is that pain moves to experiencing it, the

way animals experience it, where they don't have

a conscience, they're aware of it. They can

experience the pain. They can have it, but it's not in the forefront where it's

creating this mental suffering, because, remember, our whole

world is thought so anyway,

so that you can help lift that burden of mental suffering. You can

teach people, and I don't know how you would do this through your practice other

than just model it, but you can teach people

that, yes, the rules have changed for

you. Yes, the way you show up in this world has changed for you.

But there's still, there's always possibilities, there's always

opportunities. There's always a way to flip this from a

negative into a positive, which is everything that we talk about here

is just living in this world of opportunity. And living

everything is an opportunity. Yes, it is not ideal.

Yes, it doesn't align with the plan, but maybe it

is the plan and that you're going to switch, you're going

to flip, you're going to move this. So one of my big goals is to

eliminate all the mental suffering in the world. It's to eliminate

all the judgment, all the isms. Everybody's

operating soul to soul. Everybody's out of their head. Like,

nobody sees anybody as different to themselves. We're all united.

We're all operating from this higher, this higher place,

and we're all open to all the possibilities of what can happen.

And so the big goals. So one is the matchmaking, I want to

solve loneliness. Two, the big goals are to eliminate

mental suffering. Three is to then develop

these like minded forums that are going to change the world. They're saying, hey,

I've used this. I've got past it. Yes, you're still going to have the physical

pain, but these are all the ways I've dealt with it. And this is, and

so it's support groups

that are really designed to say

present success. Like, okay, I

can't do this anymore, but this is how I flipped it. This is what I'm

doing now. I can't do this anymore. And so it's

opening up a world of hope and opportunity to everybody

that is stuck in their heads. And

then, so that's the other model, is these like minded groups, and then

with these like minded groups that we're solving every problem that the world

faces. So where there's drought, how do we bring water, how do

we move populations? How do we build jobs for populations?

How do you deal with what's going on with the warming of

our world? And then how do we fix global warming? Because

what, you know is that the

indigenous people know how to solve this problem. You

know, the people that are closest to the earth, they know how to solve this

problem. And so how do we listen to them and how do we take their

ideas, and how do we execute those ideas, and how can we do

it? Because everything's driven by profit. How can we

make those ideas for profit ideas,

you know, how can we fund the, the

problems that exist in this world? So it's these groups, it's these

forums, it's these idea banks, these,

this harvesting of ideas, and then these

incubators of ideas to then come up with

bigger solutions, bigger problems, and then just

everybody start to live from this better place instead of the worst of

ourselves, to live from the best of ourselves. And

it's a very big idea. All my ideas are very big. I'm just looking for

the right partners to collaborate with, to my

partners to collaborate with, to join with, to help support

all of these missions, and then to encourage everybody

to do the same. You know, everything in your life starts

the small problems. You know, start with

what is really like. If there's one thing you need to change right now, what

is that? You know, put it out there, go to bed on it, sleep on

it, do two minutes of brainstorming every morning, all the ideas,

and always think about the ideas. Like, there are no limitations.

Like, time and money are not a limitation,

talent is not a limitation. You can find somebody who can

help you with the pieces, parts. It's really how do you solve these

problems? And what happens is, when you shift and you start

looking at opportunities and possibilities, the momentum that

you create just starts to attract alignment

and all the things you need to move it. This is a note from our

sponsor, me. And

this is coming from one of our amazing clients, treetops.

And if you're looking to plan the. Ultimate family

vacation, northern Michigan is definitely where you should

go. Treetops can be your base camp. It's

just an amazing resort where

nature meets a venture. And whether it's summer or

winter, with extreme tubing and dog sledding, or in summer, you

can go to the skybridge, Mackinac island, sleeping bear

dunes, every outdoor activity that you can

imagine, go to treetops.com. and

this is where you're going to plan this incredible vacation and

memory for your families and get super creative, too.

They're huge ideas, and my goal is to just

talk through how these are working and inspire you

to make these changes that are of just really

fundamental to this whole currency of happiness and

this whole currency of. At

the end of the day, I look back on my life

and said, say nothing held me back.

There was no barrier that I couldn't step around. You know,

you're not going to push barriers out of the way, but you can come up

with creative ways to step around those barriers. There's nothing

that stopped me from doing what I was supposed to do in this

lifetime, and I feel good about it.

And at the end of the day, once you get past everything else,

it's the energy of love and kindness and

this positive energy of love that you're just

putting more and more and more and more out there. And

it's not about you anymore. It becomes about the

creation of this, you know, and we talked a little bit about

it in the last episode with this vibration where you're just

constantly, you're constantly doing something bigger, something great

or something where you're changing lives, you're impacting

lives, and you're showing people that

the suffering doesn't need to be there anymore, that something that's just,

it's just built into our programming that we have to, like, worry and churn

and suffer and be in our heads about it. And

then how to bring out of that, how to bring your greatness, how to bring

your potential, and how to bring out what you can do with this

lifetime. And so it's operating from a bigger

why, it's operating from a bigger purpose. And it just

is really exciting to be just hopefully a little

voice, a coach that's behind you saying, hey, I did this.

These are the big things I accomplished. I just connected with the

right partners. I connected with the right people to help me get there. This is

how it worked. I didn't have to have a bazillion dollars to do

this. I work 50 hours a week. I don't have a zillion

hours of time to do this, but I'm going to do these things and I'm

going to make them happen. So at the end of

the day, it's owning your experience,

it's owning your journey, and it's owning your happiness.

And I hope this was a little

inspirational. And I wish everybody

a fantastic week of growth and creativity.

Thank you.
