Julie Smith (Collaborator)

She didn't come to this work from the outside looking in. She lived it.

Julie Smith is one of the collaborators behind this six-part EFT tapping series for chronic fatigue. After losing her mother in 2017, Julie poured herself into her work serving as a pastor at her church, leading volunteer teams, striving to honor God through excellence in everything she did. But by 2018, her body began to break down. Sudden hearing loss, debilitating vertigo, cognitive issues, ocular migraines, and sleep episodes lasting 18 to 20 hours a day left her unable to work and unable to walk down a hallway without leaning against the wall. Doctors had few answers. Hope felt far away.

What followed was a years-long journey of surrendering, not just medically, but spiritually.

Julie had to let go of the version of herself she had built and trust that God had something better ahead. Slowly, breakthrough came. Today she lives a full and vibrant life advocating for those in the trenches of chronic illness. A longtime Tribe member, she has found meditation and EFT tapping to be among her most powerful tools for entering the deep rest her nervous system craves, and has poured out that hard-won wisdom in collaboration on this series, especially the Wholeness Beyond Healing session above.
