In this inspiring episode of Meaningful Conversations, we sit down with Julie Bliss Mullen, Founder and Advisor of Aclarity, a company on a mission to destroy "forever chemicals" forever.

Julie shares her journey from PhD researcher to Forbes 30 Under 30 entrepreneur, and how motherhood has deepened her purpose. We explore the connection between healing water and healing people, trusting your instincts as a leader, creating flexible workplaces, and celebrating small victories in big, complex industries.

Julie’s perspective reminds us that true leadership is about courage, community, and nurturing — and that in water, just like in life, energy and vitality matter.

Topics We Cover:

• Healing water vs. just cleaning it
• Trusting intuition in leadership
• Building flexible, purpose-driven workplaces
• Celebrating small victories in big industries
• Women leading the future of water
