About Raw and Real : Life Conversations with Julie and Sonia
The Raw and Real Podcast is a space for honest conversations about life in all its messy, beautiful complexity. Here, we go deep — exploring the vulnerable, the meaningful, and the moments that shape who we are.
Nothing is off-limits. These are unfiltered conversations where we’re not afraid to talk about the hard stuff. From grief and growth to identity and healing, we sit with it all.
No masks. No filters. Just real people, real stories, and a whole lot of heart.
Have you ever dreamed of doing something that feels so out of reach, you just can't imagine how it would come about?
In this episode, Julie explains how she manifested her dream trip to Africa, taking her entire family along for the trip pf a lifetime.
Two months before the trip, she still had no idea how she was going to fund it, but using the tools of manifestation she created an incredible, life changing trip to Africa for her and her family.
Learn how you too, can create what seems impossible.

Episode 8: Can Women Really Have What They Want?
In this raw and unfiltered conversation, we explore the beliefs that keep women stuck in self-sacrifice—pleasing others, putting family first at all costs, and giving up their own dreams in the process. We talk about how women who dare to go for what they want are often labelled as selfish, the myth that we must wait until our children are older, and the truth that it is possible to create a life you love now.
This episode is an invitation to question the stories we’ve inherited, break free from the guilt, and start reclaiming what we truly want.
