Julie Bond Genovese is:

An enlighten-up coach, inspirational artist, speaker, mom and best-selling author of her award-winning memoir, Nothing Short of Joy, endorsed by Wayne Dyer, Dr. Christiane Northrup, Dr. Bernie Siegel and Alan Cohen. Julie has been featured on TV & radio including Anderson Cooper Live, NBC LX & Oprah.com radio with Gayle King. Julie earned her BA in Fine Art, with honors, from Hamilton College (Clinton, NY.) Julie also spent a semester at the Lacoste School of Art in Lacoste, France and at Rhode Island School of Design. Being born a dwarf, with degenerative arthritis, was not the poison Julie originally believed - it became the cure. After desperate years of humiliation & shame, medical studies & operations (including two brain surgeries,) Julie realized that the biggest thing standing in her way was her own Belief System (BS.) Happiness, it turned out, wasn’t dependent on her circumstances but on her response to them. As she began to view her challenges as sacred choices made by the soul, everything shifted. Julie mentors spirit-led creatives on how to use self-expression to transform life's grief and energize ginormous joy. Julie coaches, writes and paints from her New Jersey home where she lives with her husband and two sons. Julie is a member of the International Women's Writing Guild, Little People of America, and Skylands Homeschool Community.
