Julie Foucht: The Energy and Soul of Money for Changemakers

In this insightful conversation, Julie Foucht empowers changemakers, and women especially, to transform their relationship with money. It’s not just about numbers, but about understanding our beliefs and the societal structures that influence our financial choices. Julie shares powerful insights on how money is neutral and is not inherently good or evil; it’s how we choose to use it that matters. When we start viewing money as abundant, we unlock our potential to receive and thrive. Many of us carry ancestral beliefs that limit our ability to accept wealth. It’s time to break those cycles and embrace our worth so we can start making a larger impact out in the world. Let’s shift the narrative! What’s one belief about money that you’re ready to let go of? Let’s support each other in this journey toward abundance.

As a partner in her husband’s construction company, she left both her marriage and her income. She had stayed because she believed that she couldn’t make enough money to support her 4 children, but was determined to find a way to create the life she dreamed of. She dove into personal development and started her study of the Energy of Money. She quickly realized that her purpose on the planet was to get more money in the hands of more women. When women have money they have a choice. They can choose to stay or leave a relationship, a job, an area based on their highest good. They give to the causes they believe in. And they can live a joyful, juicy life that raises their vibration and the vibration of the world. For over 20 years Julie has worked with women coaches, healers and soul-fueled entrepreneurs to open their money channels and create soul-fueled, financially abundant businesses. Julie received her coach certification in 2006 and has built a 6-figure coaching practice that allows her multiple vacations a year, her dream home on the Central Coast of California, and lots of time to play with her grandchildren. She is married to the love of her life, has 4 children, 2 stepchildren, 2 furry babies and 8 spoiled grandchildren. This is a public episode.
