One of the greatest joys in my life is hearing stories about your successes and knowing you all are happy, thriving, reaching and achieving your goals.

Ask Jules: Confidence 101
There’s a well-known saying that goes, “Great athletes aren’t born, they are made.” Well, I believe the same applies to confidence.

No, not your ex. Your x! As in, your fill-in-the-blank. Allow me to explain… Every day when we look in the mirror, we give ourselves a quick assessment.
