Julie Renee Hibbard is a powerhouse of resilience, purpose, and transformation. As the founder of Julie Moves You, she’s not only redefining empowerment but also creating a movement rooted in healing, faith, and community. Through her personal story of overcoming trauma and adversity, Julie has built a brand that inspires people to turn their pain into purpose and find strength through movement—both physical and emotional.
The Mission Behind Julie Moves You
At its core, Julie Moves You represents empowerment, healing, and the courage to rebuild. Julie’s journey began at just 22, when she stepped into entrepreneurship as a personal trainer. Today, she’s the proud owner of three Anytime Fitness clubs across North Texas and the driving force behind the healing-centered initiatives Anchored and Empowered AF.
Her vision extends far beyond the gym walls. Julie is also the host of the Julie Moves You podcast and YouTube channel, where she shares stories of resilience and personal growth to help others heal from within. “My goal is to spread awareness and change lives,” she says. “I’ve been through things that could have broken me—but instead, I learned to rise.”
Turning Pain Into Purpose
Julie’s entrepreneurial journey hasn’t been easy. From overcoming childhood abuse and toxic relationships to grieving the loss of her father and business partner, her life has been shaped by powerful lessons in resilience. “To keep moving forward, I had to heal the parts of myself that allowed pain and manipulation to take root,” she explains.
Through Julie Moves You, she channels those experiences into helping others find their own light. Her leadership style—once rooted in toughness—has evolved into one centered on calm confidence and grounded energy. Julie believes that true strength comes from self-respect and protecting your peace. “I don’t chase approval anymore,” she says. “My energy is untouchable because it’s authentic.”
The Future of Julie Moves You
Looking ahead, Julie is expanding Julie Moves You into a full-scale empowerment brand featuring retreats, live events, and online courses that focus on healing, mindset, and personal transformation. She’s also developing Stray Surfer, a lifestyle and apparel brand inspired by freedom, resilience, and life on the water.
Her upcoming Julie Moves You podcast and YouTube channel will amplify her message, allowing her to connect with an even broader audience. In addition, she’s currently writing her first book—a deeply personal account of her journey through pain, healing, and triumph.
Julie’s advice for aspiring entrepreneurs reflects her own lived wisdom: “Start before you feel ready. Growth happens in motion. Lead with passion and protect your peace. Surround yourself with people who truly want to see you win.”
Through every venture, from fitness clubs to her motivational brand, Julie Moves You continues to live up to its name—encouraging others to move through adversity, move with purpose, and most importantly, move forward.
