Today’s Featured Business Interview
Hi I’m Julie Sloan.
INSPIRED JULES IS MY CREATION TO HONOR AND SUPPORT WOMEN
MAKERS, AND INSPIRE THE ENTREPRENEURSHIP JOURNEY!
Handmade gifts have always been my “love language.” I grew up in a family of amazing
creative souls – my father was a talented visual artist, my mom a seamstress and knitter
extraordinaire, and my brother was a brilliant art prodigy at the age of two.
Expressing ourselves creatively was one of our family values and I am extremely
fortunate to be blessed and nurtured by art in all forms.
My parents taught us that giving a handmade gift is far more valuable than anything
ever bought, because it comes from the heart and hands of the person who made
it. And more importantly, it is filled with intention and love.
My creative journey has been a winding road of discovery; from being a member of 4H
in my youth and entering my sewn creations at the fair to making jewelry in the early
’90s, to Hip Baby Basics – my handmade baby accessory line created after the birth of
my first child in 2002.
I eventually took a pause and worked in the corporate world. This fit my entrepreneurial
spirit, working in the start-up space with technology companies in an array of positions
from sales to customer experience, while designing systems for better efficiencies for
our clients and employees.
Secretly, my heart was always pulling me back to the entrepreneur life of creating.
The year 2020 added another turn in my road, and I joined the 800,000 other women
who left the workforce. It wasn’t by choice, but it was clearly a gift from the universe as I
was able to spend time reflecting on what my purpose and life’s legacy is all about.
There is so much positive energy and meaning that goes into every handmade piece of
jewelry, from the origin of the stones, the inspiration of the design, to the story of the
maker.
Inspired Jules was cultivated from the experience of years and a desire for a world
where women are highly successful and abundant.
