“I believe that when we recognize our own unique light, we can empower others to shine theirs too. My “awesome pie” philosophy reminds us that everyone has something special to share—and that the ripple effect of sharing kindness, creates and magnifies joy in yourself and others.”
storyteller.
Julie writes books that help children (and parents) understand their worth and the ripple effect of their actions. Her books gently remind young readers that everyone gets a slice of the “awesome pie,” and that choosing curiosity and kindness over judgment makes the world brighter for all of us
Becoming a mom changed how I saw my role in the world—and ultimately led to the creation of MommyMates. I learned, alongside my children, that the most meaningful lessons often come from small acts of kindness and contribution. When we role-model this idea for children, they learn at a young age how powerful they are. When we see a spark in the children around us, we are inspired to be our best selves…this is the MommyMates ripple effect.
