About the Author

Julie Baldwin is a writer and painter who mentors soulful creatives to live more inspired and creative lives.
After 26 years in the corporate world, Julie left it all behind to pursue her creative calling. She began a quest to change her life, and to find and understand her own path for creative and spiritual growth. "I had to dive deep. I had to evaluate my long-held beliefs and perspectives. And I had to face my inner dragons and build my spiritual resilience."
Along the way, Julie learned that living a creative life means more than just expressing your creativity-it also means responding creatively to life's challenges.
The Creative Heroine's Path emerged from her experience. By looking at the creative process as a story, she illuminated the five phases in the creative flow. She learned to co-create in and from her life more consciously, because, she discovered, what we believe, we create.
Creative expression has always been an essential part of Julie's life. She has explored her creativity through writing, painting, drawing, photography, collage, printmaking, playing the piano, and singing.
Julie is a Certified Professional Co-Active Coach (CPCC), and she has a certificate in Business Mastery from Inspired on Demand. She has a BA in English from Earlham College, and a MA in English from Wright State University.
Julie loves to write, paint, hike, read, take photos, travel, and ponder the mysteries of the universe. She lives in Colorado with her husband and a very spoiled Boykin Spaniel.
