S01 E029 Focus on Conscious Decision Making | Julianne Jones and Meg Poag

In this powerful episode, host Meg sits down with Julianne Jones, COO of the Eye Care Center of Northern Colorado, for one of the most moving conversations we’ve ever had on the show.

Julianne shares the raw, real, and often gut-wrenching story of how life threw her a curveball she never saw coming—a devastating personal loss just months after uprooting her young family for a new leadership role. What follows is a masterclass in vulnerability, self-leadership, and resilience.

Together, we explore:

How Julianne’s career in ophthalmology began with a leap of faith and a whole lot of hustle.

What it means to lead with integrity, even when it’s uncomfortable.

The tragedy that transformed her—and why she sees it as the moment that “leveled her up.”

The power of trusting your gut, surrounding yourself with the right people, and staying uncomfortable in the pursuit of growth.

Real talk on grief, single parenthood, and showing up anyway.

If you've ever doubted your own intuition, struggled with imposter syndrome, or wondered how to come back from your lowest moment—this episode is for you.
