From niche expert to international speaker at 77

I was a Big Fish in a little pond. I was known as Alpaca Julie to the Alpaca community in the United States for 22 years. I spoke to alpaca owners at conferences and weekly on Zoom through a membership program I started in June 2022. I loved it! I still do!! However, when I started this program, something inside me shifted.

I felt a calling to speak about another side of myself. A personal side that I had protected while Alpaca Julie blossomed. In three years, I'll be 80. I have stories I want to share, and other women I want to inspire to live from their Values and Purpose, not someone else's goals. What changed was the rebirth of Aligned Quest™, a Peace of Mind Decision-Making model I copyrighted in 1987, and validated in my Master's Degree Thesis in 1992. After this life-changing program, I'm ready to own what I know to be true about my message.

I'm in the final edits of my first book, I'm expanding my speaking circles, I've started the Aligned Quest™ 5 week program with women Founding Members, I set a date to have a reunion next year in Athens Greece with other SIM members, I have raised my speaking fees, and most importantly, I see myself on stage at MVU to celebrate my 80th Birthday in July 2029. I'm also open to speaking opportunities beyond my small community, beyond my own Zoom trainings, and to share my message on Podcasts, and stages. I'm ready to step out as Julie Roy, Speaker, not simply Alpaca Julie any more.
