About this listen

One woman's journey of advocacy, faith, and positivity.

"You only have three to five years to live."

On the day she was diagnosed with HIV and thrust from the confines of her suburban mom bubble into the scary and unpredictable world of AIDS, Julie promptly found herself fighting for her life and rights amidst a disease she never imagined would hijack her future.

With three young children, her family began making every effort to create lasting memories while simultaneously managing the debilitating side effects of early meds. They hid her illness for four years, fearing her children would suffer stigma and discrimination often experienced in the early days of the disease.

Her diagnosis began a path of advocacy, faith, and positivity despite her life's detour. Now, Julie advocates for better healthcare outcomes for women through the personal stories and reflections from her life. Her health journey creates space for those walking through their own family or medical crises to be seen and supported.

Julia tells her story from the heart.

Beautiful, vulnerable story, well written and narrated. Honest heartbreaking and real! Inspirational, holding space for herself, her family, her friends, her losses, growth, speaking up and her spiritual strength. Sometimes you’ll cry with her and sometimes laugh. Worth reading!

So inspiring and educational!

I listened to this audio book while on a hard day hike and I found myself feeling energized and so inspired by Julie's strength in sharing her story over the years, even amidst HIV/AIDS discrimination. I also identified a lot with the authentic faith element and the struggle to feel at home in the evangelical church. Thanks for your honesty and vulnerability, I know it has been costly for you.
