During prayer, I boldly, for the first time, asked Him, "Lord, what do you want me to do with my passion for Spirit, Soul & Body Health?"
I immediately heard in my Spirit, "Create a Spirit, Soul & Body Planner." So I wrote down that heavenly instruction and had to be obedient!!! The thought truly excited me though, so I began working on it immediately! That was back in 2019.
Julie's Story
Co-Founder of HealThy Life
Before that life-changing moment, my life as a single Mom of three was a continual struggle with low and high levels of anxiety and overwhelm.
I would get into negative cycles of behavior, which would lead to despair and depression. I couldn't manage all the things!! God kept reminding me of simple things to do when I repeatedly cried out to Him. It was always- "Pray first, then write out a plan." One day, after another tear-filled plea for help to God, I heard in my spirit- "Get a Planner!" I did and began to see the tremendous benefit, but unfortunately, I would fall out of using it. I never could develop a true habit of using it.
God was patient, he would remind me over and over, "Write it down." Write it out; get it out of your mind! FlyLady was also a significant inspiration that I felt the Lord kept bringing me back to. She is all about routines. A basic morning and evening routine was essential for me. When I stuck with those- how I felt and how the rest of my day went was a dramatic, positive shift- from something as simple as following my routines. I couldn't deny the impact. I became a believer over years of trial and failure, falling off and getting back on again with my routines.

Little by little, momentum began to build.
"SEEK first The Kingdom of Heaven..."
and leaning into intimacy with Him through journaling, walking, and bible study I learned was also critical.
BEFORE OTHER THINGS...
prioritizing God
I kept getting distracted, and it was hard to make headway on big projects and other obligations. I still felt scattered.
The REALIFE Process® to the rescue! My soon to be husband, Dave casually introduced me to Erica and Teresa who had been working on a system of Time Management and Life Management- I needed this!!! I had my routines, the basics of a planner, but THIS brought it all together- the icing on the cake.
I had the routines down, but I still really struggled to order my days.

I wasn’t born organized- but despite many “failures,” I never gave up SEEKING better ways to manage my Life. The Lord had been showing me pieces over many years. He has been patiently teaching, guiding, and reminding all the way. FlyLady, my own 25 years + of experience in education as a Speech-Language Pathologist, setting goals for clients and tracking their progress was a key factor. This too comes into play in the planner! The REALIFE Process® program and community all came together at the right time to help me build this specialized and unique planner.
So, developing the HTL Planner didn’t happen overnight...
"We are seekers of God first, health and healing second."
