We had the good fortune of connecting with Julie Hoffman and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Julie, can you share a quote or affirmation with us?
Bliss is your birthright. This is my logo. It reminds me that everyone on this planet deserves happiness, regardless of their actions. I consider myself to be a peaceful warrior in that I will work to right injustices, yet I do this is a peaceful way. I cannot judge others. The actions I shall focus on are my own. I can practice sending love to others, even if I do not understand why they choose the actions they take.

What should our readers know about your business?
My business is Julie Hoffman Wellness. I am the Owner and CEO. I’m a (mostly) retired RN. The focus of my business is to bring healing to my clients through the modalities of yoga, sound and Tarot. I left nursing leadership in September of 2019 and almost immediately the world shut down due to a pandemic. I would say this was my biggest challenge – to start a business during a global pandemic. To get through this, I simply put one foot in front of the other and kept moving, albeit slowly, towards my goal. Lessons I’ve learned – this was actually learned while I worked in nursing – do not burn any bridges! If you must move away from a relationship or situation, do so professionally.

I want the world to know that one person can make the world a better place. We, as a collective, can improve the lives of every individual within our community. My personal mission is to normalize helping our incarcerated brothers and sisters.

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
Sedona for a day trip! Simply a stunning spot on this planet.

There are so many unique coffee shops in the Phoenix area – we could go to Jarrod’s Haunted shop or Buddha’s Brew – both in Mesa.

Cosanti to see (and buy!) some unique bells

Changing Hands bookstore in downtown Phoenix – books and snacks

If it is February we are headed to Tucson for the Gem Show!

The Shoutout series is all about recognizing that our success and where we are in life is at least somewhat thanks to the efforts, support, mentorship, love and encouragement of others. So is there someone that you want to dedicate your shoutout to?
Shoutout to Yoga’s Arc. This mobile yoga company supported my vision of bringing yoga to incarcerated individuals.
