Hey friend, do you ever find yourself wishing you could go deeper into the topics and conversations

that we have on Java with Julie? Well, now you can. I'm excited to let you know about

second cup behind the scenes of Java with Julie, which is a special opportunity for a member

community to meet with me every month to discuss recent job with Julie episodes. This new member benefit

takes place live on Zoom the first Tuesday of every month. You can ask me your questions,

and I'll share more thoughts on recent episodes and what's coming up next. So I hope you'll join

me on March 7th, which will be our very first episode of the Second

Cup, and that will be at 1 p.m. Eastern Time. And if you'd like to join our member

community for Second Cup and other member benefits, just head to authenticanimacy.com

slash member. We'll link to that in our show notes.

Laura was recently married and she's written an autobiography called Transgender to Transformed.
