Bio:

Julia Beauchamp Kraft is an authentic expression mentor and public speaking coach who specializes in helping introverted women overcome public speaking nerves. Through her signature program, “Fully Expressed”, Julia teaches quiet, shy women how to cultivate authentic confidence in the spotlight.

Over the past 8 years Julia has trained 1000’s of professionals and entrepreneurs about public speaking best practices and skills including companies like LinkedIn, Twitter and Salesforce. But, it wasn’t until the start of the pandemic that she created The Fully Expressed program as the world of public speaking completely changed. Through her years of experience, she saw that some people were able to implement public speaking skills right away and others really struggled and even seemed traumatized by the public speaking workshop itself. She realized that most of the people struggling were women and all of them had a long history of performance anxiety, public speaking nerves and an intense fear of the audience’s judgment.

Being an introverted woman herself she understood these challenges and created a program designed specifically for the more sensitive, empathic woman who has a desire to be heard but is struggling with public speaking PTSD. This work empowers introverted women to get out of overwhelm and burnout, unpack old conditioning that’s keeping them stuck and discover their full range of expression as confident communicators.

Heart Wisdom Panel – March 2nd – Journaling as a Discovery Tool

By

Wednesday, March 2nd, 2022
Heart Wisdom Panel:
Journaling as a Discovery Tool with Sherry Richert Belul, Lisa McGuinness, and Lily Dulan
12 pm / PT

 

During the pandemic, many people leaned into self-reflection in a brand new way and discovered the importance of getting to know ourselves better and connecting to our values, our spirits, and the people we love. 
 
Journaling is a powerful self-reflection tool to enhance awareness, to bring more mindfulness to our lives, and to spark creativity. It can be a great addition to our self-care practices during this time in the world when so many people are filled with grief, fear, disappointment, and heartbreak. 
 
Join us at this week’s Mango Publishing Author Panel to participate in a conversation about these and other ways to use journaling as a practice for learning more about ourselves, the people we love, and the world we live in. 
 
Our guest authors, Lily Dulan (“Giving Grief Meaning”) and Lisa McGuinness (“Mother Daughter Activity Journal”) will share their own stories and unique ways of using journaling in daily life. Everyone who attends is invited to join the conversation. The panel is facilitated by Sherry Richert Belul (“Say it Now.”) 
 
These author panels are a great way to get a behind-the-scenes look at the publishing world and what goes on in authors’ heads! They are uplifting, fun, and conversational. Almost like a book-lovers’ social club!

June 15 – Make a Meaningful Gift for Dads, Grads, Grooms, ’n Brides!

By

Tuesday, June 15, 2021

6pm

It’s summertime and that means you likely need a special gift for a Dad or Grad in your life. Or, you might be headed to a bridal shower or a wedding and want to do something with extra heart — instead of the same ole registry gifts. 

WNBA Member Sherry Richert Belul, author of Say it Now, has a great gift idea that is simple to make and can stand alone or pair with something you’ve already bought. 

Sherry will be leading us in an interactive, joyful, and connecting activity of creating Love List Gifts. 

What’s a Love List? It is a brainstorm of specific reasons you love someone and what makes them unique. A Love List is sweet, funny, sexy, or serious. It can include any number — from five to fifteen to fifty — of loving attributes, characteristics, or memories about someone. It is one of the most simple —yet profound— ways to show someone what makes them unique and why they matter. 

All too often, people wait until funerals to express their love and appreciation. Sherry encourages you to say it now, while the person can hear it. “I believe that what we all want most in life is to know that we make a difference and that we’re loved for exactly who we are,” Sherry says. 

Sherry will be leading us through the process of creating this one-of-a-kind gift. She’ll offer some prompts as we create our Love Lists. So come to the meeting with some paper and a pen. Or, you can download Sherry’s free printable and bring that to fill in as we go: https://simplycelebrate.net/love/

We promise that this will be a joyful process for YOU — and will make a wonderful gift for someone you love! 

What: Make a Meaningful Gift for Dads, Grads, Grooms, ’n Brides!

When: TUESDAY, June 15 at 6pm PT
