~FROM STUCK TO FULLY LIVING: 5 Step CAKES Recipe for Getting Unstuck and LIVING the Life You Truly Want 
(And Not Dying With So Much Unlived Life Still Inside You.) 
5 Ways to Get Unstuck and Start Fully LIVING! 

Have you ever felt completely stuck and frozen in your life? Delaying, procrastinating, waiting... We all feel stuck sometimes. It's been a personal battle for Julie over the years too. One of her regrets is wasting so much precious time feeling stuck, watching life pass her by, not knowing what was holding her back or how to get unstuck and life the life she truly desired in her heart. 

Something that struck Julie hard after her dad's passing was opening up the freezer at home and staring at the uneaten birthday cake she had baked for her dad, just sitting there waiting to be eaten, thinking we'd always have more time. As hard as that moment was, realizing her dad would never get the chance to celebrate another birthday, that cake has become a powerful metaphor for life and inspired her CAKES framework for helping others get unstuck, and start LIVING more fully and not taste the regret of so much UNLIVED LIFE. We always think we'll have more time, but none of us knows how much time--or birthdays--we have left. That shouldn't frighten us, but inspire us to stop waiting to start LIVING! We need to embrace the shortness and fragility of life as a gift to live more purposefully, meaningfully and fully now, and not wait. Sadly, most people waste the life they've been giving waiting, delaying and procrastinating too long. At the end of their life, most people regret staying stuck, not making choices to be happier and live the life they truly wanted, not pursuing more of their dreams, not living the life they truly wanted, and not making choices to be happier. Settling for a mediocre life and never coming who they were truly capable of becoming. 

That frozen cake is a representation of how much unlived life and delayed dreams die with us because we wait too long to start LIVING... 

Audience members will get Julie's Signature 5-Step CAKES Recipe for LIVING into the person you truly want to be. She'll help you recognize 5 common patterns that may be keeping you stuck and how to move past them to not go to our graves with so much life unlived and untasted. Julie shares her own story of feeling stuck, not LIVING the life she truly wanted, watching years pass her by feeling frozen. She put together her CAKES Framework to help others get unstuck and move forward. 

People will leave wanting to live with more URGENCY than ever before, remembering there is a clock ticking for all of us that we can't see, that none of us is promised tomorrow, and life can change in an instant. We always think we have more time than we actually do. They will also be equipped with a step-by-step recipe for how to celebrate their one precious life more FULLY before their Celebration of Life. It's a powerful reminder to live before you die.
