Julia Ostara

Julia Ostara, aka Jules, lives in the ancient Appalachians with twin boys, a guitar man, a feisty orange tabby cat, and many woodland creatures. She might appear to be a mundane, middle-age, homeschool mom with bills to pay. Yet, she is painting the story of a magical opti-mystic mountain momma, thrivivalist, explorer, and presenter casting rainbows around her. Julia is an intuitive artist and creator of 2 inspiring oracle card decks and the hostess of several fun online creative courses at ThriveTrue.com.

Julia's stories and suggestions are encouraging tools for personal and global transformation that facilitate healing, empowerment, and joy. Julia hopes to share the kind of value she's found in similar books, like Big Magic by Elizabeth Gilbert and Braving the Wilderness by Brene Brown, with her own playful personal twist, healing experience, and spiritual exploration. She's grateful for the bold men and women who are doing this kind of work to co-create and appreciate a more peaceful and prosperous world.
