A 21st Century Erma Bombeck with a Pleasantly Skewed Twist!
Julie Barnhill is the “Refreshingly Relevant” voice of authentic living for women across the globe. Armed with a razor-sharp acerbic wit, Julie dedicates herself to proclaiming the sublime, sentimental, and sometimes subversive, truths of life, home, and family. Coupled with a disarmingly charming self-deprecating sense of humor, she unapologetically sets herself apart as Author, Spokesperson, International/National Speaker, Popular Media Guest and Mothering Expert.
Her uncanny ability to both inspire and challenge audiences to action and change can be attributed to her consistently authentic presentation on stage, radio, television, and in her writing regarding who she is, where she’s been, and what she’s learned along the way to entertain, inspire, equip, and help others.
Julie tackles subjects from the sublime (learning to embrace ones cellulite) to the very serious and provocative (motherhood, anger, and abuse) and successfully melds wit and humor with bold expert directives.
Radio Producers can't get enough of Julie's keen talent & innate ability to present socially relevant content all the while acting as a catalyst for Talk Radio listener responses. Time and time again, she's proven she can be counted on to extract pertinent newsworthy material no matter the time frame she's allowed.
Television Producers know Julie delivers demonstrable expertise with lively and energetic sizzle!
