A little curious about me? Below is my professional 411. But, first, I’ll share some personal stuff. I’m a wife and mom of 3 awesomely incredible “imperfectly inspired” kids. I’m also a mom-entrepreneur who has been blessed to blend my personal and professional endeavors. I’m often asked, “Do you really believe in all this chaos stuff?” In short, yes. It isn’t because I’m a masochist by any means. I just believe that chaos is the culmination of life’s experiences – good and bad. Rather than allowing chaos to give me a perpetual case of the “I can’ts”, I choose to embrace it so I can say “How can I…” The bottom line is that in order to unleash your creativity and exceed your potential, you absolutely need to embrace – and even chase – your chaos.
That’s about it, but the fancy smancy stuff is listed below too…
Empowerment Coach and America’s Chaos and Creativity Coach, Julie Watson Smith, MHS, CC, relinquished dreams of perfection and opted to embrace her chaos to inspire her imagination through her imperfectly inspired life – an empowered, authentic life that inspires, imagines and excels in everyday chaos and beyond.
Holding a dream to boost others to the next level of success by cultivating the power of creativity through embracing, rather than resisting, chaos, Julie formed Inspired Imaginations, a company built on the co-creative power that comes from a team approach, as her commitment to inspire others to create their “imperfectly inspired” lives – authentic lives that let go of perfection to inspire, imagine and excel in everyday chaos and beyond.
Always having an entrepreneurial spirit, Julie also founded AgeLink Intergenerational Programs in 1996 and Mommy Hullabaloo in 2000. The presence of both businesses is very evident in Inspired Imaginations as the enrichment programs and books, Kindred Generations and Mommy Hullabaloo.
A frequent columnist, Julie’s writing has been heralded as the perfect blend of heart and humor. She has been featured and quoted in numerous electronic and print mediums. A recognized life enrichment expert, she is also a frequent radio and television guest.
From the early days of grass root discussion groups in living rooms and coffee shops to a popular life enrichment company touching thousands of lives, Inspired Imaginations is truly the inspiration for today’s imaginations.
