About this listen

What if confidence is something you uncover through surrender? Julie Kendall, an award-winning actress who left corporate America to pursue her creative dreams, reveals how letting go opened doors she never imagined.

"This is our one shot in this body. Why not go for it as far as you possibly can?" Julie's philosophy has guided her through bold moves like packing her car and moving to Atlanta with no safety net. That leap of faith led to unexpected opportunities, including a specially-created position with a former employer who had been quietly admiring her acting journey from afar for years.

Julie shares her transformative daily practice that combines meditation, candle rituals, and journaling—a practice that takes just thirty minutes but has manifested remarkable results in her career and personal life. She describes writing each morning as if her perfect day has already happened, feeling the emotions and visualizing success before it materializes. Her candid conversation with "the universe" through a candle flame offers a unique approach to spiritual connection that anyone can adapt.

Most powerfully, Julie reframes our relationship with fear. Drawing from Elizabeth Gilbert's wisdom, she explains how she thanks fear for its protective role while firmly relegating it to "the back seat" of her life. "Fear never goes away," Julie acknowledges, "but I don't need you in the front seat anymore." This perspective allows her to appreciate even challenging emotions like jealousy as guideposts rather than sources of shame.

Whether you're considering a career change, creative pursuit, or simply seeking more confidence in daily life, Julie's practical wisdom offers a refreshing alternative to conventional advice. Her approach demonstrates that true confidence emerges not from controlling outcomes but from surrendering to your authentic self and trusting the process.
