Letting Go of What Works: Why I Retired My Most Successful Program

Letting Go of What Works: Why I Retired My Most Successful Program

Author: Julie Solomon June 25, 2025 Duration: 27:16
In this deeply honest and vulnerable solo episode, I’m sharing why I officially retired one of the most successful programs of my career—Pitch It Perfect—and what that decision taught me about leadership, identity, and alignment. After nine incredible years, thousands of students, and millions in revenue, I felt called to evolve—not because the program stopped working, but because it no longer reflected who I am or the depth of work I now do with my clients. This episode is for anyone feeling the tension between success and self—when what once felt aligned now feels like residue. I walk you through the energetic blueprint I used to navigate this evolution, how I cleared space for my next chapter, and why letting go of what works is sometimes the bravest and most powerful move you can make. If you're craving resonance, embodiment, and the courage to fully claim who you are now, this episode is your invitation to rise. Liked this episode?

But it's complete. And not because it stopped working, but truly because it no longer reflects who I am, who I serve now, or most importantly, why they come into my world.” - Julie Solomon  “  We can know something, believe it, and maybe even share it with somebody else. But then we don't necessarily do it ourselves. It's interesting how that can happen.” - Julie Solomon RESOURCES: [JOIN MY VISIBILITY TRAINING] With just 1 hour a week, my proven content framework will help you refine your messaging and turn your offers into consistent, scalable sales.
