FYPC012: Julie Reisler, CEO of Empowered Living, Author, TedX speaker and host of The You-est You® podcast
The CEO of Empowered Living, a multi-time TEDx speaker, host of The You-est You Podcast and the author of the Get a PHD in You series, Julie Reisler helps YOU discover what lights your fire for your life.
After graduation from the University of Rochester with a double major in Psychology and Public Health, she worked for Hillel. While running an international social justice program with Hillel, she visited a Panera (only 9 locations at them time) and was drawn to the community surrounding the restaurant.
Julie recalls having an “inner wisdom thought” that told her to apply to work with this company. She sent in her resume and got a position as a manager—she was told to work for 5-6 months to learn operations and corporate will see if they have a position with them. She worked with Panera for 11 years and became the Director of Recruiting and Guest Relations. Her biggest take away from this experience is to trust your gut and make opportunities for yourself if you don’t see one available. “Opportunities are everywhere. This [Panera job] didn’t exist, this wasn’t a position. I just trusted my intuition.”
While working with Panera, she got her Masters in Health and Wellness Coaching and Nutrition while still working full time and creating an intensive personal development program and becoming the head coach. Julie had a “light bulb” moment that told her to chase her passions for coaching. “I wanted to something where I was on fire about my purpose and passion.”
She eventually left Panera to follow her passion full time and begin a podcast, write two books and further her career as a coach. “When we are listening and tuning and creating from that place passion and purpose that's really where the magic happens.”
After hearing Julie’s story of chasing passions in a nonlinear career path, take a quiet moment to focus on what is your purpose. What lights your fire? What can you create to help others?
Find out how Julie followed her passions for helping others find what ignite's their flames.
