How do you find your Unique Ability® if you’ve been living it all along without realizing it? In this deeply personal episode, host Julia Waller shares her own journey—from teaching classrooms of children to becoming a guide for entrepreneurs discovering who they truly are. Through career pivots, fear, curiosity, and courage, Julia reveals how Unique Ability often shows up early in life—and how the right culture can help it fully emerge.

Key Takeaways

• Your Unique Ability often shows up long before you have language for it.

• Growth comes from shedding what drains you, not adding more.

• The right environment makes it safer to explore who you really are.

• Confidence comes after courage—not before.

• Unique Ability is the foundation for lifelong growth, not a finish line.
