Julie Santiago Coaching | We Are The Women Reviews 

When I started the program, I was…
Overwhelmed, tired, ready to walk away from a job I loved - though I knew if I did I would have all the responsibility again - I was in a cycle. I was highly over achieving, over functioning, and over helping. I felt the weight of the world, and the COVID response on my shoulders and my nervous system was out of whack.

The woman I am now is…
present, loving, trusting, kind, calm, and clear. She is a wiser strong version of who I was. I recognize the important role my pitfalls played in surviving a pandemic as a leader in pubic health, and now I know how to slowdown. I know I have the tools and ability to COME BACK TO ME if I find myself wobbling or going back to old patterns. I feel my feelings, I know the importance of letting people show up and how to do it. I contribute to the world - I am not responsible for it. I am responsible for what is mine and I let everyone else be response for what is theirs. I know how to build and lean into pillars of support. I ask for help to grow and give to others. I filter my decisions through my big rocks. I lead from within - I am a stronger mom, wife, supervisor, and leader. Through this program the weight of the world has been lifted from my shoulders and my nervous system reset.

The woman I was before I joined this program was on a perpetual burnout cycle. Work was all consuming, I felt stuck on a hamster wheel, and was always pushing myself to do more and achieve more. Thanks to Julie and her wonderful team, I learned the tools I was so desperately needing in order to reestablish equilibrium and reconnect with myself to create a more fulfilling life. This program was everything I was seeking and so much more! I have participated in many women's leadership and development courses throughout my career, but no one does it like Julie and her team! Investing in myself and committing to this 12 week program was one of the best decisions I've ever made.

Julie's program found me. I was overwhelmed, burnt out and had been through some trying times. I knew in my soul that I could not continue to live this way, and wanted a way out (but had no idea how to get there). I was huddling in a small coastal rental with my dogs, trying to find some peace. Instead, I found Julie's video and felt like it was written for ME! I reached out, followed the process, and ultimately jointed the program. I had some serious hesitation and fear- and am so glad I listened to my heart and chose the program. It changed my life and the lives of everyone close to me.
Julie's program and approach was exactly what I needed. I felt so supported by her, and all the other women in the program, and also challenged to get to the next level. I have never in my adult life felt such a connection and trust with so many women, all of us in a similar boat of overdoing, people pleasing, perfectionism, etc.
I learned so much, and this journey has continued. The trajectory of my life has changed, how I react and how I grow. I don't think I could have made it during this pandemic without the tools I learned here, at least not without a negativity.
If you are ready for this, and willing to do the work, you will never regret following this path.

I was in a very frustrating and overwhelmed place in my life mainly due to overload at work, feeling overworked, underappreciated and uninspired. Scrolling through FB I came across a post from Julie Santiago. She posed a question ... do you want to reclaim your life, reclaim balance? Absolutely yes.... I admit, I was skeptical, but where I was in life, I knew something to change and I was not able to flip the switch myself ... I had tried, but old habits and patterns kept pulling me back in.

I had an intake call and we talked about where I was currently and what I was searching for. They say, when the student is ready, the teacher will appear. Well, I must have been Ready in a big way. The 12-week program sounded like what I needed, so I signed up. I did have a moment of buyers remorse because I just don't invest in myself... but it had gotten to a point where I had to take a stand for me... and this program sounded like the right support system to get me there.

I am now 3-weeks post-program and I am in a TOTALLY different place. The program guides you to dig into your patterns, habits to get to the root... then tools build week over week as you put together a clear plan and support to get you out of the pit and reclaim all you want and why. I've had the clarity to determine what's working, what's not and how to change.

Today I've realized I needed to switch jobs in my company, which I did, right at the end of the 12 week program and I am in a totally different place. I literally feel lighter and brighter. The coaches are fantastic... they know how to peel the layers away, giving you the space and guidance to scrub out the old and prepare for the new.

The community of women is truly magical. Having contact with so many powerful women who are on the same journey is incredibly supportive. When I started the program and was feeling like I the pieces were good, but not fitting together. I was getting frustrated... but talking to my coach and during the weekly calls I would hear from women further in the program who encouraged me to stay the course, do the work and the pieces will meld together ... and they did.

I am amazed at the clarity I've found; the new behaviors, patterns and thought process I've adopted. I filter my decisions through a ME based approach... and I can say balance is returning in a big way.

If something in your gut is telling you this is the place, the time and the course, you owe it to yourself to listen to that inner voice and talk to one of Julie's team members. You'll learn about the course and your gut will tell you if it's the right program and time. If you jump into the course, do so with both feet... trust the process... lean on your coach and the community. I'd love to see you on the other side!

Awaken your life program has changed my life! Julie, the coaches and Voge have opened up doors for me that I never thought possible. The simple and practical practices are easy to follow but powerful at the same time. I was worried about sharing personal things in a group setting but who cares when you become a part of an amazing sisterhood! To anyone reading this - investing time and effort in this program will pay you back leaps and bounds! Not only for you but for your loved ones also.

I highly recommend Julie Santiago’s Awaken Your Life program. As with all personal and professional development programs, you get out of it what you put into it. Julie is an amazing coach. She inspires, motivates, teaches, supports and leads by example. Her laser focused coaching is insightful and compassionate. Her staff is top notch. I value being part of the AYL alumni community. I worried that I wouldn’t like the group coaching model, but having gone through it, I now understand the many benefits of this model. It doesn’t replace 1-on-1 coaching, though this program does provide some of that, but the group coaching model provides a peer group as well as multiple coaches to learn from. If you’re serious about making changes in your life, this program works.

I joined this program at a time where i felt depressed and helpless because changing jobs didn't get rid off my problems, they seemed to follow me even into this new environment. I found Julie Santiago on Facebook and that night watched the webinar, it told me what i think i already knew but couldn't accept: it was my patterns that were keeping me down, and i knew then that I had to join this program. As most women, I was hesitant to join mainly because of the financial and time commitment, but i took the plunge because for 11 years i had been unhappy and it was time to finally do something about it. I devoted myself to the program, I did all the work, joined all the calls and something switched within me, it's hard to pinpoint but i'm a different version of myself and i can handle life and work without getting overwhelmed. This program might not be for everyone, but for those of you who have no life outside of work and want something else, this might be the thing you're looking for. I'm forever grateful for AYL and my new sisterhood :)

This program was truly life changing. Before I was exhausted, overwhelmed, unsure of my future. After I felt free and excited for my future. I will never forget the first call I had with Charlie. I was extremely skeptical, but there was something inside me yelling at me to just say yes and I am forever grateful that I listened to that voice.

Amazing program. I found this program through Facebook and was skeptical to join, but also knew I needed help getting my life back on track. Before joining I felt constantly anxious and guilty about the imbalance in my work/life balance. I felt guilty about not being with my kids when I was working, and guilty about not working when I was with my family. This program taught me the tools to prioritize, let go, visualize, and be self-aware when I found myself spiraling. Since graduating from the program I have reclaimed my sanity, mental and physical health, and now have a support system in place in both myself and the tools I've learned to know that I can have it all.

This program changed my life!
I reclaimed my power, unlocked my internal wisdom and knowing, and found my confidence in my voice. It was bar far, the biggest investment I have made in my own personal journey, monetarily and time wise, and it created the biggest pay off I could imagine within my life!

I truly adore the ability to have an alumni collective with Julie, her coaches, and a group of powerful women to hold tight with after the program ends, the monthly alumni calls (after you level up from the program) are always exactly what I need and the community is everything.

I cannot say enough good things about this program (that sounds really cheesy but whatev.) I have so much love and respect for Julie Santiago and the program that she has curated. From the initial call to see if the program is a good fit to the monthly alumni calls Julie has been hands on. I as a black woman can say I felt supported and heard. The courses/lessons she teaches gives one the tools to tackle their own battles. She gives the tools and the support system that is needed to thrive and feel like the powerful woman you were meant to be. So take my advice, if you are struggling, I'd you are feeling overwhelmed, burnt out and frustrated and like you want to run away. Join Julie. Join this community. Join this SISTERHOOD

When I first heard about Julie and her "Awaken Your Life" course, I thought it was just another 'self-help' lecture series. I was a senior executive working at a large company but I felt lost, alone, worthless and hopeless. When I spoke to Julie about signing up, it felt scary and I questioned myself...'is this a scam?". The program spoke to me so loudly at a time when I was prepared to give up on my work, my relationship, and my life. So I felt like I had nothing to lose and took the leap. Julie and her carefully crafted life-changing course helped me to make fundamental changes for myself and gave me the guidance and the tools to look inward and find my purpose and my voice. Julie didn't change my life, she helped me do it for myself. And I will never regret the investment I made in myself - financially, in the time I spent, in working toward my purpose in my work and in my personal life. I'm still a work in progress but I know what I need to do and I have the tools to do it. Best of all, I now have a sisterhood of amazing women to lean on whenever I need it. In a nutshell, it was SO WORTH IT.

This is a great program! To name a few perks I received from it: it helps you connect with the depths of yourself, especially your inner child; it helps you reprogram the thought process in your mind which helps out with any situation whether it be a domestic matter to interactions at work; it helps you find alignment with your true self; it helps you be empowered from the inside out. It helps you find your loving voice as a woman. It helps you find your purpose in life. Some of the tools like the trigger process and CTFAR are so powerful, besides the various coaching modalities (for eg: body work, yoga, trauma release), not to mention the included soothing playlist that supplements these works. To top it all, it provides a continued warm and supportive space for women by women even after the program is completed: I look forward to our alumni calls each time.

This program changed my life. I was so scared to do it because of the cost. But it was the best money I ever spent. I would do it all again in a heartbeat. It literally gave me the tools to change how I show up in this life, and to reverse the downward spiral. It is for real and there really are people who care in this world. Julie is one of them.

The Awaken your Life program that Julie Santiago has created is life changing. The way the coursework and group coaching sessions are structured really allows you to learn from not only Julie but her amazing team of Coaches and the other women that are participating in the program. This is an amazing space for women leaders to learn how to embrace their feminine leadership and to be able to learn the tools to create the life you want. I would recommend this program to anyone that is feeling burnt out. The program is truly transformative!

I am so glad I found this program. I didn’t know it was possible to learn confidence, self-respect, and self-love through a program like this. This has made me clearer in my work goals and in life in general. I trust myself now, maybe for the first time ever. Thank you thank you thank you

What an amazing program! I was depressed and so overwhelmed with my life before joining. The pressures of caring for my family and pursuing my career had me ready to run away. I'm so thankful I took the leap of faith and joined the program. I was hoping to get back to a happier version of my life, but I feel like I have a whole new life!

I made the investment in myself, my family, my health, and my career to dive in whole-heartedly to the Awaken Your Life program. I'm so glad I did. My intent was to figure out how to live life less stressed, less anxious, and figure out how to be happy again while figuring out the next stage of my work life. I got SO much more than that. I feel reborn, connected to who I am and what I want, and the program gave me the tools to maintain and improve on everything I've learned, both personally and professionally. Julie and her team walk with you every step of the way and are incredibly supportive. The program teaches you the tools to transform every part of your life including your relationships - starting with the one you have with yourself. Commit, show up, and do the work and you'll be amazed at the changes in your life.

Julie's program offers organized materials with a focus on supporting women. This ultimately creates a safe space for women to express and share their emotions that resonate among women. I walked in with a feeling of strangeness and doubts, but I up-leveled from it with a sense of resonation, love, hope, and ways to see beyond the clouds. I often practice seeing the positive sides of events, but this program reveals something more profound and valuable.
Most of all, seeing Julie showing up with an authentic part of herself -- it is just the best, one who offers to walk the talk. Thank you for being by my side during the most needed year of my life. :).
