Julie, founder of Unpaused
Built by a mom in the pause

Julie spent 15 years in marketing leadership before stepping away to raise two kids. When she started looking again, she realized the hardest part wasn't ambition. It was explaining the pause, owning her value, and feeling ready to walk back in.
