Julia Rose | How to PUBLISH your work & put yourself out there

Today, I’m sitting down with Julia Rose, a Content Writer and Communications Expert.

 Julia is doing INCREDIBLE work in the realm of helping people press publish on personal essays.


I know I know, you just checked out as soon as I said the word “essay” right, but our guest of the show today, Julia Rose, is going to walk us through why personal essays can be the secret to expressing yourself, launching a successful brand and being a subject matter expert.


I am SO fond of Julia’s work and love what she’s created inside of her Hello Writer program. The story of how she created this group experience is something you won’t want to miss, if you ALSO aspire to launch a group program or online course at some point.


In this episode, Julia and I talk about…

  • How being fired (on a Friday!) was the catalyst for her to start her own business

  • The impact that publishing her work on Medium.com had

  • A simple method for choosing what to write about

  • How to get over the fear of putting yourself out there

  • Navigating through imposter syndrome, when you feel like there are other people out there who are more established

  • And how to find your first few clients

This is SUCH a fun episode and I can’t wait for you to learn from Julia Rose.

And one last thing, I know some of you have been tuning in religiously to Season 8 and enjoying the content - and if so, I want to ask you to leave us a review on iTunes or share the show with a friend.


It helps more visionaries feel connected and less alone, on this roller coaster ride of entrepreneurship.
