ANECDOTE

Surviving A Karmic Abusive Relationship

Julie Piatt survived a seven-year abusive relationship in her twenties that nearly destroyed her and taught her to distinguish her vibration from others.
She later left, retrained herself creatively, and called that period a karmic step in her mastery that she never repeated.

ADVICE

Cultivate Self-Knowing To Discern Projection

Know yourself deeply so you can discern what feelings are yours versus someone else's.
Julie credits therapy and embodiment practices for recognizing projection and reclaiming her energy after abusive dynamics.

ANECDOTE

Slow Bloom From Yoga Class To Lifelong Partnership

Julie met Rich in a yoga community where their friendship and shared spiritual practices developed before romance.
They kissed in a subterranean kiva on a retreat, then dated slowly; she waited nine months before introducing him to her sons.
