Are you living the life you want or following somebody else’s rules? Julie Hannon, shamanic healer, teaches us how to trust our gut instincts to make choices on our own terms.

Through the lens of her personal experience, Julie illustrates the fulfillment that comes from breaking free of family expectations and societal pressures, and making heart-focused decisions.

After wanting to be a doctor but studying psychology instead, Julie enjoyed a successful career as an HR consultant. But, after developing adrenal fatigue, and watching friends and colleagues battle diseases, she left the corporate world to follow her first calling. She studied alternative healing modalities, and claimed her place in healthcare.

When her son was diagnosed with Lyme disease at age six, and conventional medicine failed to be effective, Julie’s energy work healed him. At a time when Lyme was epidemic in New England, and many cases were chronic, she became one of the go-to healers in Boston for other children struggling with the illness. She expanded her practice to help other children and adults achieve their physical and emotional wellness.

We discuss the importance of upgrading our responses and accessing the wisdom of our hearts to balance our heads. Julie walks us through how to quieten our minds, breathe and listen to our intuition, and set intentions in alignment with our dreams.

This episode is a roadmap for stepping out in order to step into your next “It has to be me!”
