“I was living a life built on expectations not desire. It was time to come back to me.” - Juliana Salfiti

In this powerful episode of Real Talk, Juliana Salfiti, a civil litigator, law professor, model, and fierce advocate for women—pulls back the curtain on her personal healing journey.

A partner at her law firm, professor of Pre-Trial Litigation at UC Law SF, and San Francisco Regional Representative for WAVE (a program that empowers women in law), Juliana is no stranger to high-stakes environments. But behind the accolades and courtroom wins was a woman quietly unraveling, questioning the life she had built on the expectations of others.

As a single mother, she’s faced pressure, perfectionism, and the crushing weight of "doing it all"—until her body said, enough. This episode unpacks the moment she chose to stop performing and start truly living.

Juliana opens up about breaking generational patterns, rediscovering her voice, and reclaiming her identity—not just as a professional powerhouse, but as a whole, embodied woman. From embracing intuition to healing through movement and self-reflection, this is a raw, real, and wildly empowering conversation.

For anyone standing at the crossroads of success and self-abandonment, this episode is your reminder: You’re allowed to redefine everything!
