Play Hooky to Heal: Julie Heaton on Burnout, Joy & Manifestation

In this soul-stirring episode of Healthy Waves, we dive deep into the themes of burnout, intentional living, and the radical power of rest with author, mentor, and wellness coach Julie Heaton. After decades of corporate grind and a life-altering burnout, Julie redefined success on her own terms. We explore how playing hooky isn’t laziness—it’s liberation. From shifting old belief systems to embracing manifestation as a daily practice, Julie shares how reclaiming her joy led her back to her authentic self. This episode is a wake-up call to anyone stuck in the cycle of doing over being.
