New Year, New Name, New Era

As we step into 2025, I’m embracing a transformation that has been unfolding—one that is now reflected in my name.

I am Julie Anderson Smith.

This change is more than a shift in identity; it is a homecoming. A reclaiming of my story, my roots, and the life I am building for myself and my children. Anderson honors my mother’s lineage, and Smith connects me to the deep values of generosity and resilience that have shaped me.

This year, I have set an intention—to Thrive.

I am stepping into something greater, committed to flourishing, not just for myself but for my children, my career, and my community. My Sankalpa (sacred intention) for 2025 reflects this deep shift:

"I am thriving. My children are thriving. I am creating a home filled with safety and connection. I live with courage and peace."

This transformation is not just about a name change—it’s about stepping fully into the life I am meant to lead.

Thank you to those who have walked beside me in this season of change. Your support, wisdom, and encouragement have meant everything. 

Here’s to a year of thriving—together.

With gratitude,

Julie Anderson Smith
