Quotes:

“As women, we have to run our businesses so differently than men. We’re cyclical by nature, we operate differently and built for receiving versus pushing, hunting and driving.” (Julia)

“I love freedom, but I also realized that with containers, we get to have more freedom and receive more, be more authentic and present.” (Julia on being systematic in pleasure-pursuit)

“When a woman taps into her sexuality and pleasure, it just naturally ripples into other places.” (Julia)

“Feminism won’t work if it’s just a bunch of white women trying to fix feminism because then you’re leaving out black, queer – all these different identities that are already so disenfranchised comparatively.” (Julia)

“For the longest time, feminism has been like ‘do it like men so that we can beat men’. But the reality is that we have to do it like women so that we can co-exist with men, so that everyone can show their individual powers.” (Julia)
