Beauty In The Moments

Ali and Julie talk about her daughter and her husband and loss and finding ways to find beauty in the moments.

About Our Guest:

JULIE BARTH is a mother of six and trauma survivor whose mission is to transform personal hardship into inspiration and advocacy. Her journey began when her second daughter, Tayt, was born with Primordial Dwarfism, leading to years of surgeries and medical challenges. Shortly after her young husband Colin’s diagnosis and passing from stage-four pancreatic cancer, Julie faced further adversity, including Tayt’s rare cancer and a decade of emotional and financial abuse in her second marriage.

Julie is also the CEO and founder of the Colin James Barth Outreach, a nonprofit dedicated to helping women-led households with the resources and aid necessary to find security and stability in times of crisis. Her mission is to use her experiences as caregiver, special needs parent, emotional abuse victim, and trauma survivor to encourage women in similar situations to think resourcefully and always protect themselves without stigma or feelings of selfishness.

About the Podcast

Find Your Joy
Alison Perry-Davies’s belief is that wherever we come from, we have all known some level of pain, loss and trauma, these things do not need to define us. She doesn’t ignore that these things have happened; however, she decided this is not the way her story ends. Using integrated creative therapies along with sound and vibrational therapies she continues to explore and share complimentary healing modalities.

In this podcast she shares her story as well as having many other people sharing their stories about ways that they have found their healing and their way to find joy. Some of the guests will include authors, artists, painters, singers, songwriters, musicians, doctors, healers of different modalities, people who love to organize people who love to build things, people who find ways of raising dogs and kids and, you know, it really doesn't matter exactly what it is. It's all about finding our joy, and finding a way to make life work.
