How to Live by Design, Not Default - with Julie Ciardi, THRIVE Ep. 168

Today’s episode is for all the girlies who have ever felt trapped in a life lived on “default.” It’s an awesome conversation with my fabulous friend Julie, who on the outside, very much looks like she “does it all.” She’s got a 7-figure business, a top 1.5% globally ranked podcast, over 20 years of marketing and sales experience, had a brick and mortar boutique, and more…including a husband and 3 kids. But really, Julie’s life has been filled with very intentional choices and specific moves to let her live by her own design – and very much NOT by default. In this episode, she shares how she managed to rise the corporate ranks at IBM – all the way to VP of Marketing – while still saying “no” and coaching her son’s soccer team. She spills the secret to building your self-image and self-confidence to make bold moves in your own life, and she breaks down her formula for being a “Mom AND.” Whether you’re a corporate chica, an ambitious entrepreneur, and/or a fellow mama, this episode is not one to miss!
