When life shatters us physically, what emerges from the fragments of our former self? What mysterious wisdom resides in the liminal space between trauma and transformation?
Hidden within these devastating moments lies beyond mere setbacks—these are portals to expanded consciousness, where the intersection of crisis and transformation reveals essential truths about being.
My guest today is Julie Piatt, a modern mystic and serial renaissance woman who has redefined the boundaries between material success and spiritual awakening. A yogi, musician, bestselling author, and founder of SriMu—the pioneering plant-based cheese company—Julie embodies the delicate interplay of entrepreneurial drive and divine connection. As my most frequent podcast guest and wife, she continues to confront me with my own calcified beliefs about truth and reality.
Julie’s journey defies categorization—architecting spaces of beauty, orchestrating spiritual gatherings, reimagining plant-based cuisine, and birthing revolutionary dairy-free cheese. These diverse expressions share a common thread: an unwavering commitment to artistic truth and evolution. Her recent navigation of physical trauma exemplifies this perennial wisdom—transmuting acute vulnerability into unexpected grace.
“Being is the greatest state of awareness. Everything you need is residing within your own heart.”
– JULIE PIATT
Today, we explore how bodily trauma can transform consciousness. From mystical visitations in hospital rooms to Indigenous wisdom in Alaska, Julie shares stories of finding meaning in life’s most shattering moments. We discuss how artistic expression, ritual, and universal love can help us navigate an increasingly divided world.
Our conversation spans the delicate balance between material ambition and ethereal awakening, the healing power of returning her parents’ ashes to Alaska, and Julie’s evolution as an artist and entrepreneur.
Her insights offer a compelling reframing of what it means to live authentically in fractured times, while her experiences illuminate how approaching life’s challenges with grace can dramatically impact our collective healing.
Through her lens, we witness the ethereal interplay amid worldly and spiritual dimensions, exploring essential truths about self-love, embracing the unknown, and the crystalline clarity that arrives in our most vulnerable moments.
