Julianna Laine: Turning Music and Manifestation into A Creative Life, Surfing with Confidence, & Choosing Yourself
Hey ya'll! In this week's episode, we sat down with Julianna Laine, singer-songwriter, surfer, model, and graphic designer in Tofino. Julianna shares her journey from a small-town upbringing to pursuing her dreams in music and surfing. She reflects on the influence of her family, the challenges of fitting in during high school, and the transformative experience of moving to Australia. We get into how she's made her dreams come true from co-writing with John Vincent III, shooting for Roxy, and how to take up space - at work and in the lineup.
Julianna discusses her university experience, the impact of social media on her career, and the importance of community among women in the industry. She also shares insights on personal growth, relationships, finding a partner who believes in her biggest dreams, and the power of manifestation, encouraging listeners to trust themselves and pursue their passions!
If you’ve ever felt underestimated, landlocked, or in need of a change, this one’s your nudge to go do that thing!
takeaways
If you’re scared to start: confidence comes the more you do it. Post the thing.
Co-writing magic: the right room changes the song.
Female-led sets = safety, trust, and better art.
Set standards in love: curious, connective, and cherishing partners.
Manifestation works best with daily micro-actions.
Surfing as “church”: presence beats perfection.
