Tessa + Molly
Their Story
Clients: Tessa + Molly with Elenor, Arlo, Freddie and Coltrane (their dog)
Chosen Plan: The Wind Beneath Your Wings
A bit about them:
Overwhelmed parents to three children.
Molly works full time in hospitality and travels often for work, nationally and internationally.
Tessa is self-employed and is returning from maternity leave from a busy content marketing firm, while she juggles the children’s care and schedules.
What’s important to them:
Right now… just survival. Having a newborn and older children is a lot.

Their professions.
How Thanks, Julia helped:

Results:
Molly – “It’s never easy to admit that you’re drowning. While my relationship with Tessa is so strong, I know we were both individually struggling to identify what we needed to offload from our very full plates. Thanks, Julia provided that guidance and it made a world of difference to find someone to coach us through that process.”
Tessa – “Seeing my list shorten up week after week helped me rest, recover and breathe easier. I was so overwhelmed by the new baby while meeting the other kid’s needs. Thanks, Julia set up a plan that helped my wife and I to work better together. We accomplished more but also resourced Julia who helped us pull it all off. We’re really thankful.”

She’s become a dear friend to me.”
Megan + Chris
Their Story
Clients: Megan + Chris with Emily and Theo
Chosen Plan: The Superhero
A bit about them:
Busy parents to two children.
They’re renters while renovating their soon-to-be dream home.
Chris works full time in financial services and has a long commute from where they live to where he works.
Megan runs an event planning company with her sisters, while she juggles the children’s care and schedules
What’s important to them:
Family + friends
Spending quality time together
Career + building the family business
Cycling, running, triathlons + keeping healthy
Camping trips away with the kids
How Thanks, Julia helped:
- Researched vendors and contractors and collect estimates/quotes.
- Researched long term childcare coverage and helped hire their nanny.
- Wrote their household guidebook for their nanny.
- Researched and provided ongoing support for small to large home renovation projects.
- Created their trip itinerary for a week in Colorado.
- Set-up important date reminders in Chris’s calendar.
Results:
Chris – “Julia became one of Megan’s best friends. I could tell by the end of week one of those two working together, that Megan felt better. She was visibly lighter. While I wish I could have been more supportive, my work had me overwhelmed by a huge project I never could have stepped away from. I’m really grateful for the support. She made life easier for our entire family.”
Megan – “We hired Thanks, Julia because I was so burnt out by our seemingly never ending reno project. While Chris has been supportive of whatever I needed to juggle work with the kids, I was fatigued making decision after decision alone. Julia stepped in and just made me feel like I had two of me. She kept it together while I kept other things together. We became partners in managing my household, which helped me resent Chris less. Just recently he and I got out for a date, and it was so nice to reconnect with him. We finally have less to worry about and are finally more present for each other and the kids.”
