Our Story
Sometimes, life’s heaviest storms are the ones that bring us home — not to a place, but to people.
That’s how After Love began. Two women — each walking through her own version of loss, heartbreak, and rediscovery — found one another in the middle of uncertainty. They didn’t know each other before, but somehow, destiny and faith crossed their paths right when they needed it most. In the middle of the chaos, they found what every woman deserves: refuge, understanding, and a tribe. They realized that when God allows you to go through difficult things, it’s never to destroy you, but to shape you — and that He always gives you the tools to rise again: faith, therapy, knowledge, self-love, and friendship.
Each of them came from a different background, with distinct ages, personalities, and dreams, yet all were facing similar emotional challenges. What started as shared pain soon became shared growth. They laughed, cried, and learned side by side — slowly recognizing their own worth as women, leaders, and souls with a purpose.
After years of friendship, late-night conversations, healing sessions, and countless lessons about love, boundaries, and resilience, Julie and Megan decided to transform their story into something greater — a space to guide and accompany other women walking the same path. And that’s how After Love was born — from two hearts that chose to turn pain into wisdom, and sisterhood into purpose.

Born into a large and loving family, Julie grew up surrounded by tradition, faith, and a deep sense of belonging. At fifteen, she embraced religion as her compass — a source of structure and meaning that guided her through her early years. For a long time, life seemed steady and predictable, until everything changed in ways she could never have imagined.
One by one, a series of deep losses arrived without warning — the passing of her father at 18, her biggest sister at 24, and a painful divorce that same year. Along with financial uncertainty and the emotional toll of leaving behind the strict religious framework that had once defined her, these experiences unraveled everything she thought she knew about stability, faith, and herself.
What followed was a period of silence, chaos, and searching. Battling anxiety, depression, and spiritual emptiness, she began questioning life, love, and purpose itself. Out of that questioning grew an unrelenting desire to understand the human mind and the invisible forces that shape our reality.
For years, she devoted herself to the study of psychology, neuroscience, spirituality, and healing — not as an academic pursuit, but as a path toward peace. Along the way, she discovered that healing cannot exist in isolation. It was within circles of women — friends who had also lost, struggled, and rebuilt themselves — that she found a different kind of love rooted in empathy, sisterhood, and shared strength.
Today, through After Love, Julie guides other women through their own transformations, blending lived experience, continuous learning, spirituality, and compassion into a space where women can reconnect with themselves after heartbreak, chaos, and loss.
After Love is the space she once needed — and now chooses to build for others.

At 42, M's life took an unexpected turn. Married at 18, she had built her entire world hand in hand with her husband — a family, a home, and a thriving business. For more than two decades, her rhythm was shaped by partnership and devotion. But only a year after renewing her vows, God revealed a truth that would change everything: her marriage was not rooted in faithfulness.
What followed was a painful and unexpected divorce that became the catalyst for her deepest transformation. With a broken heart and two young children to care for, she found herself standing at the edge of a new and unfamiliar world. What began as a season of loss slowly became a journey of rediscovery.
Through prayer, tears, and courage, M began to rebuild her life — this time, from within. She learned to walk with God, to embrace discomfort as growth, and to open her heart to new friendships that reflected truth, light, and faith.
Today, M is a successful businesswoman with a thriving company in real estate, a devoted mother, and the living proof that strength and grace can coexist. She has turned her pain into wisdom, her wounds into power, and her story into hope for countless women still finding their way back to themselves.
