In this empowering episode of Girls Talk Healthy Aging, cohosts Alli Kerr and Shawna Kaminski sit down with the inspiring Julie Rose—a full-time nomad, minimalist, finance/FIRE blogger, and solo female traveler. Julie shares her incredible journey of breaking away from the traditional path to create a life truly designed on her own terms. In 2020, she made the bold decision to stop "playing by the rules," selling her house and most of her belongings to pursue a life of adventure, purpose, and freedom. Her story is one of transformation, intentional living, and the courage to step off the beaten path.
Julie dives into how she first got her finances in order to make this unconventional lifestyle sustainable. By reassessing her priorities and embracing minimalism, she discovered that not only is world travel possible—but it's actually more affordable for her than staying put in the U.S. With a focus on the FIRE (Financial Independence, Retire Early) movement, she explains how shifting her spending and mindset helped unlock a life of full-time exploration and joy. Julie's practical tips and honest insights will inspire anyone who's ever felt stuck in the traditional grind.
With over 50 countries under her belt, Julie now spends more than 10 months a year traveling the globe, only returning to Arizona for a few weeks annually. She opens up about the freedom she's found through letting go of material possessions and embracing experiences instead. From solo travel to hosting female group trips, she’s now on a mission to empower other women to tap into their inner adventurers and explore the world confidently—no matter their age or stage in life.
Julie also discusses how leaving behind society’s expectations—college, career, home ownership—led her to a more authentic and deeply fulfilling life. She talks about redefining success and embracing uncertainty as a path to discovery and growth. For women feeling the pull toward something different, Julie’s story is a powerful reminder that it’s never too late to start designing the life you want.
This episode is a must-listen for anyone dreaming of a more intentional, adventurous lifestyle. Whether you’re curious about downsizing, solo travel, or just tired of waiting for “someday,” Julie Rose will inspire you to start living boldly now. Tune in and get ready to rethink what’s possible at any age.
