Helping Women Leaders Navigate Burnout, Workplace Challenges, and Career Transitions Through Core Energy Coaching.
I’m Julie Wickstrom.
I believe lasting change begins with self-awareness.
For more than 20 years, I’ve led teams, developed leaders, and guided organizations through complex change in higher education. Along the way, I’ve had the privilege of mentoring others, helping people discover their strengths, and supporting leaders through uncertainty. I’ve also experienced firsthand the pressure, responsibility, and emotional weight that leadership can bring.
Like many leaders, I reached a point where I was giving so much to others that I lost sight of my own well-being. My experience with burnout led me to Core Energy Coaching™. While coaching didn’t change my circumstances overnight, it transformed the way I experienced them. It helped me recognize the patterns that were draining my energy, reconnect with what mattered most, and lead with greater clarity and purpose. That experience inspired me to become a coach.
Today, through Sunshine Core Energy Coaching, I partner with women leaders who are ready to move beyond feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or burned out. Whether you’re navigating organizational change, stepping into a new leadership role, exploring your next career move, or simply feeling disconnected from yourself, coaching offers the opportunity to slow down, gain perspective, and move forward with intention.
I don’t believe coaching is about fixing people or giving advice. It’s about creating the awareness that allows lasting change to happen. Together, we’ll uncover the beliefs and energy patterns shaping your leadership, challenge what’s holding you back, and help you reconnect with the confident, capable leader you already are.
Outside of coaching, I enjoy restoring my old home, spending time with family and friends, and sharing life with my pack of dogs and cats. Restoring a historic home has taught me that meaningful transformation takes patience, curiosity, and resilience—lessons I bring into every coaching conversation.
Professional Credentials
I hold credentials in Coaching Fundamentals and as an Energy Leadership™ Index Master Practitioner (ELI-MP), both earned through the Institute for Professional Excellence in Coaching (iPEC).
My coaching combines the Core Energy Coaching™ methodology with more than two decades of executive leadership experience developing leaders, building high-performing teams, and guiding organizations through complex change. My goal is to provide a supportive, thoughtful space where women leaders can gain clarity, build confidence, and create meaningful, lasting change.
