The Aligned Career Audit

Is it burnout, boredom, or something bigger? This 4-day reset will help you tune into what your career’s trying to tell you—and what to do next.

    • "Julia has an innate ability to help you discover what really matters to you in a way that feels like you are speaking to a close confidante which makes the experience so effortless. The result is powerful because the more you understand what drives you, what you have a passion for, and what makes you happy...the more you get out of life and that is what I now have."

      — Executive Director, Financial Services

      More Testimonials

    • "Working with Julia was not only an absolute joy but also a deeply transformative experience. She brings an incredible blend of kindness, knowledge, and discernment, making the process both enjoyable and impactful. Her expertise in psychology creates lasting changes, helping her messages—and my personal growth—to truly stick."

      — Jaclyn W., Founder & ex-BCG

      More Testimonials

    • “I engaged Julia as my career coach, but she was like a career coach, life coach and therapist all wrapped up in one. The experience was enlightening, cathartic, and immensely educational. Thanks to Julia, I've gained the confidence to pursue and interview for positions in entirely new industries—something I lacked before working with her. I highly recommend Julia Starr; you won’t be disappointed!”

      — AR, Senior Marketing Leader

      More Testimonials

    • "As an entrepreneur, I learned concepts that still help me map out the path of my company, and how that path overlaps with my professional and personal life. I highly recommend Julia to other CEOs, founders who are looking for a framework on professional and personal roadmapping to find balance in their lives.”

      — Founder & CEO, Healthcare Startup

      More Testimonials

    • “When I first decided to resign from my job and switch career paths, I was incredibly lost. A friend of mine took notice, and very luckily referred me to Julia and I’ve had the great fortune to work with her for the past two months. Despite my initial skepticism vis-a-vis coaching, my experience with Julia showed me how I could really optimize and get the most out of this huge transitional period - the learnings of which actually shaped many other parts of my life beyond my professional trajectory."

      — Melanie S., ex-BCG

      More Testimonials

    • “I would highly recommend Julia as coach for so many reasons. Her approach always made me feel supported, yet she challenged me to examine ideas that I wouldn’t necessarily have on my own. After working together, I feel so much more confident in my approach in all areas of my life and in the steps I need to take in order to advance to my next career opportunity.”

    Core values are your decision-making compass. 
They make choices obvious—or create that knot in your stomach when you’re out of alignment. For me, it’s freedom, creativity, and connection.
