Ep. 237 - Julie Solomon on Finding Your Genius + Upleveling Your Brand

Today’s listen is applicable for all the women in our community—from mothers, to corporate babes, to entrepreneurs. We are joined by marketing strategist, New York Times best-selling publicist, and host of The Influencer Podcast, Julie Solomon. As the creator of Pitch It Perfect, she teaches bloggers and influencers how to pitch to brands and create a sustainable online business.   Our conversation digs into who Julie was before becoming an entrepreneur—working that corporate life as a music publicist turned book publicist in NYC. She explains how she wouldn’t be where she is today without these jobs in corporate America. Her life advice on making the most of a job you don’t love deeply resonated with us. After relocating to Los Angeles, she moved into the lifestyle/mommy blogging space. From there is where Julie figured out her genius, and how to apply it to create her own business. We also talk about her life as a  mom, and experiencing postpartum blues after pregnancy. You’ll leave this conversation feeling motivated and uplifted to let go of expectations, and pursue YOUR unique path!   We also talk about: Excuses we make to keep ourselves small Shifting mentality to be more expansive and open Getting clear on what truly drives you Letting go of curated perfection How to find your true zone of genius Julie’s experience with a natural pregnancy Authenticity and vulnerability online Creating sacred time with your partner Find more to love at almost30podcast.com!   Resources: Learn more: juliesolomon.net Instagram stories: @julssolomon Listen: The Influencer Podcast   Upcoming Events: July 27th: San Francisco with Lacy Phillips August 17th: The Workshop by PodcastPro in Los Angeles with K + L September 12th: Los Angeles with Nicole Lapin September 18th: Nashville with Julie Solomon   Sponsors: HUM Nutrition | Use code ALMOST30NATION for 15% off at humnutrition.com Fitt | Visit links.fitt.co/almost30 to find your city.
