#276 Cherished Memories: My Quest to Preserve Home and Heart with Julie Leith

Our next guest, Julie Leith, graciously welcomes us into her Houston home, radiating a warm and accepting presence that sets the tone for our delightful conversation.Julie grew up in a traditional, loving family with both parents present and a strong connection to their church community. It was the kind of idyllic upbringing where children rode their bikes in the neighborhood until the streetlights came on—a quintessential slice of Americana. Her father worked as an Exxon oil man, and their family's ties to the oil industry ran deep, shaping their lives in many ways.It's fascinating how our guests' stories often reveal the profound impact that their background and life experiences have had on shaping their purpose. Some journeys are challenging, while others are relatively smoother, yet they all seem to play a crucial role in preparing individuals for their life's calling.Julie shares how her mother, a philanthropist at heart, instilled in her the value of giving back and helping others. Together, they have collectively contributed 75 years of volunteer work, a testament to their unwavering commitment to making a positive difference in their community.From these experiences, Julie has discovered her own passion and purpose—to support the aging baby boomer generation in aging in place. She believes in allowing them to stay in their cherished homes, surrounded by familiar memories and the love of their families, for as long as possible. Her mission is to provide the necessary resources and assistance to ensure that this wave of baby boomers can age gracefully and comfortably in the homes they have built and cherished.Join us as Julie unfolds her beautiful life story, enriched by the lessons and values instilled by her family. Her purpose-driven journey serves as an inspiration for us all, reminding us of the profound impact we can make in the lives of others when we embrace our calling and dedicate ourselves to making a positive difference in the world. For more of The Jar, visit:Website: https://www.thejar.live/Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCaTqB1dhDvl0Oh505ysdxTgFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/podcast.thejarInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/thejar_podcast/Disclaimer: The views stated in this episode are our guest's opinions and do not represent the views, beliefs or opinions of The Jar Podcast.
