Now, I don't want to get obsessed with discovery rankings like some Skool owners, BUT when I just checked to see if we had moved from position 10,900 4 days ago, I counted it a massive win to rise up to 9,252 in 24 hours. 😍 Today, however, we've literally got a thousand times better and are currently at position 775 THANK YOU to our resident experts, admins and members. I've see some amazing shout outs all over Skool and on other social media platforms and groups, and the conversations in here are real! ... We are starting to generate a buzz in all the right circles, and getting noticed. Make sure you keep the launch party date free to pop in so I can thank you personally for coming aboard with such fire and enthusiasm for what we're building! All of you are amazing.. 🥰

Hi, I’m Julie — or Julz if we’re already feeling comfy. I’m the founder of The Shine Lounge, a gentle online space for women who give a lot to everyone else and need somewhere soft to land themselves. I’m 53, based in Brisbane, a two-time cancer survivor, and someone who learned the hard way that life is too short to spend burnt out, chasing perfection, or putting yourself last on the list. Cancer is part of my story, but it isn’t who I am. What it did give me was clarity. A louder reminder that rest matters. Joy matters. And women deserve spaces where they don’t have to earn a moment for themselves. Before all of this, I spent years in the corporate world across business development, procurement, and project management. These days I run a small personal training and group fitness business from home, working mostly with midlife women, seniors, and people with disabilities. Helping people move better, feel stronger, and reconnect with confidence still lights me up. Somewhere along the way, I realised movement was only part of the puzzle. So many women I met were carrying invisible weight: stress, mental load, loneliness, identity shifts, menopause, motherhood, business pressure, and the constant feeling of needing to hold it all together. That’s why I created The Shine Lounge. A calm, welcoming community where women can pause, breathe, and reconnect with themselves without pressure, guilt, or another impossible to-do list. Inside you’ll find: • guided meditations and calming audio resets • gentle movement and feel-good wellness tools • journaling prompts and reflective moments • monthly Shine Drops to reset and recharge • real conversations with kind women who get it No guru energy. No perfection parade. Just grounded support and a softer way to do life. I’m also building my next heart-led project: Bring Back Pen Pals — a dedicated letter-writing community for women craving slower, meaningful connection in a fast world.

I'm Adam, the person who planted the seed of this idea to form a value-first, "what if we just come together and help people" community. Please be kind becuse I'm not half as confident as most of you on camera, but I know it's something I'll learn and get better out with practice, but because this community is about really getting to know each other and helping each other, we've all got to start somewhere...! So Helloooo, and thank you to all the resident experts who believed in my vision and to everyone else for coming along for the ride! 🥰 I know this will be big, and I'm so excited with the great start we've already had! Let's keep this momentum going till launch day! 👏😁 We really do have some super exciting things coming and I do believe that if we all work together and genuinely value and help each other, we can make this one of the best communities on Skool

🗣️📣 Dear friends!!! Someone gave me a blooming flower tea for my birthday. You drop what looks like a tight little ball into hot water… And it just… opens. Slowly. Quietly. Beautifully. I stood there watching it and I couldn’t look away. Because that’s exactly how 50 feels to me. Not loud. Not dramatic. Just… open. Like everything I’ve been through…the failing, the quitting thoughts, the summer that broke my heart… the money losses, the saturated markets, the programs that went nowhere… It was all just heat. 🤷‍♀️ And I didn’t know I was blooming. Because the summer of 2024? 👉 My mom almost died. Twice. 👉 My brother passed away. 👉 My husband had urgent surgery. 👉 My house was being renovated after a flood. 😱ALL. AT. THE. SAME. TIME. I was still showing up. Still building. Still believing in something I couldn’t fully see yet. I thought I was just surviving. But this month… I matched my caregiver salary with my online income. At 50. After 5 years of learning, failing, almost quitting more times than I can count. I don’t have the words for how that feels. 😌 And I want to say something to every single person who decided to invest in themselves through one of my referral links… 👑 Thank you. Not just for the commission. But for trusting me enough to take that step. You are part of this moment too. 💬 If this hit something in you today… drop a friendly hug GIF 🤗 below. And if you’re still in the heat right now… Hihi… keep going. You might be closer to blooming than you think. 🤭 Xx Real Mag 💋​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
