Dear Friends,
I’m so excited to share a few important updates with you!
🪴 We're growing!
First, I’m making some big improvements on Circle. Over the next few weeks, you might notice me testing new features and adding community spaces.
With new things comes a learning curve, and while I’m doing my best, I might make a few mistakes along the way. Thank you in advance for your patience and flexibility as I improve your experience on the Dear Food Circle!
🥳 More Fun & Interaction!
You’ve been asking for more interaction and joyful, meaningful community connection—and I’ve heard you!
I’ll be introducing some fun new activities and experiences inside the Dear Food Community at Circle very soon. While most of the current Circle content will likely remain available without a subscription, I’m launching a new Yearly Subscription for those who want more activities, support, guidance, and a close-knit community.
💵 What’s the Cost?
The Yearly Subscription (for Circle) is just $99—that’s less than $9/month for Biblical encouragement, group coaching, transformation tools and activities with a community that truly gets what you’re going through and supports you along the way. Substack remains free without a paywall. While Substack is a wonderful way to provide content to you, Circle is where the community is interacting.
(Why go through the effort of joining Circle? Circle allows me to build a customized community platform that meets the needs of the Dear Food Community with precision specificity and it also allows me to interact with you real time… chats, posts and live meeting rooms for Q&As and coaching. Also, I can put all of the content and downloads in one place. With a free subscription you get all of the podcasts, chapter videos, free downloads, community post boards, bonus articles, Live Q&As and more!)
🙋♀️ What You’ll Get Right Now:
Some subscription perks are still in the works (like the leadership course, workshops, and fun extras), but the main feature available immediately with your subscription will be:
👉 Weekly Workbook One Group Coaching Meeting
🗓 Mondays | 5:00–7:00 PM PST
📍 Start date: Monday July 21
You’ll get 10 weeks of Workbook One coaching with me in a group setting. Once we finish, we’ll move on to Workbook Two, and so on.
This is a deep and meaningful opportunity to walk through the workbooks in real time—growing, healing, and supporting one another along the way.
✅ How to Sign Up

That’s it! It’s simple, affordable, and your spot will be saved right away.
🎁 More Good Things Are Coming!
Even if you’re not ready to subscribe just yet, that’s okay! You can wait until more features are available—or subscribe early to save your seat in the coaching sessions.
As the community grows, I’ll be able to expand what I offer, and I can’t wait to roll out surprises, challenges, and joyful connection moments to bless you along your journey to food freedom.
🕊️ Thank You for Your Patience
As I continue to build, rearrange, and update things behind the scenes, thank you for your understanding. Please know that I welcome your feedback as well. If something isn’t working, or you have a suggestion, I want to hear it. I truly believe the Lord is doing something special here—and I’m so honored to walk this journey with you.
Big hug,
Julia
