Julie Blake-Olson

Iโ€™m 59 and I finally believe in myself enough to start my own business and stop building someone elseโ€™s dream. Iโ€™m excited for my future!

What do you love about being over 40?

I love that I truly know who I am and what I want in my life, moving forward. I’ve been sober for about 39 years and during that time I gained 150 pounds. I was miserable!! I’ve done enough work on myself internally that I’ve been able to take the weight off and keep it off with very little effort. I attribute that to years of self help and God. My faith is ultimately the reason I’m still here. God had bigger plans for me ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿป

How do you stay fabulous?

I really focus on keeping my “thinking” as positive as I can. How we think about ourselves and situations can truly make us or break us! My thinking was very negative and that kept me in a very unhealthy state. I pray daily, sometimes hourly. I truly have so much gratitude for my life and Family today. My desire is to share my life/journey with as many people as I can and hopefully help others to find some self love, peace and joy.

What would you do with the $40,000?

Oh my goodness, I’d LOVE to get dental implants so I can truly smile big with no embarrassment. That would be a dream come true. Autoimmune disease wreaked havoc on my teeth and I haven’t smiled hugely in too many years. If there was any left over I’d donate to a Charity ๐Ÿ’–
