How We Can Show Up with Love in a World That Will Test Us with Julia Jovone | Relationships
We have such a powerful episode for you all today! Joining us is Julia Jovone, an incredible woman with an incredible story to match. She’s inspiring, powerful, beautiful, and an absolute gem of a human! She went through trials and tribulations to get where she is today and took risks to change and grow. We truly see her as the embodiment of what happens when you’re willing to take leaps over and over again in your life.
In this episode, Julia shares her incredible journey as an Emmy-Award-winning celebrity makeup artist and a mom of four. She speaks about her experiences as a black female entrepreneur in the wellness industry, brings up important issues in the BLM movement that we need to address as a whole, and speaks about the importance of showing up with love no matter how the world tests you.
