In this episode, Carissa and Emma Claire sit down with actor, CrossFit coach, and founder of Julia Jean Media, Julia Damatin, to talk about what it really looks like to shift from a draining survival job to thriving on your own terms. Julia shares how she went from bartending to building a full-time social media business with little experience, how her mindset around freedom and flexibility has changed, and why it’s actually cool to care deeply about your work (and less about what other people think).

WHAT WE TALKED ABOUT:

• How Julia built a social media marketing business from the ground up with no formal background.
• Why transitioning from bartending to business ownership gave her more flexibility in her acting career.
• How fitness, discipline, and the “Actors Are Athletes” philosophy support her business and creative work.
• The mindset shift and resources that helped her start to achieve her goals,
