In this episode, we talk to Julie about her journey through the murky waters of financial insecurity and how she emerged with an inspiring tale of growth, home, and healing. Julie shares her valiant struggle for housing stability and how an honest conversation led to leasing her dream apartment despite her initial apprehension due to credit and income challenges.

But this story isn't just about finding a roof over one's head; it's a journey of mending fences and building bridges. It's about Julie and her mother working in tandem to heal old wounds, crafting a living arrangement that blossomed into a peaceful and rewarding relationship, steering clear of past dysfunction.

We'll explore how these personal victories ripple into Julie's larger world, touching upon her role as an accidental mentor within her family and church community. It's a narrative that reminds us of the powerful transformations that come through reparenting, setting boundaries, and redirecting life paths.
