There’s a developmental stage between 45-65 where having an impact is one of the most important parts of this stage in our lives and it is so important to take a moment to reflect on the impact we want to have on the world. Today, we’re focusing on Julie’s story and how she came to the work she does today with How Women Lead. This week’s episode 178 of How Women Inspire Podcast is about philanthropy, racial justice, and feminist leadership! 

In this episode of How Women Inspire Podcast, Julie Castro Abrams shares how her childhood experiences were the foundation for her decision early in life to spend the rest of her life trying to make the world a better place and reflecting on her continued efforts to open her heart and door to others by caring for them and loving and accepting them as they are. 

Some of the talking points Julie goes over in this episode include:

  • Being cognizant of the power dynamics in nonprofit organizations and setting realistic expectations of gratitude. 

  • Sharing Maimonides ‘Ladder of Philanthropy’ and the high value placed on philanthropy through partnership.

  • The 3 levels of impact Julie focuses on and examples of how this has played out in her life. 

  • Encouraging you to have a north star of your own values to drive the impact and influence you have on the world.  


Julie shares her story to show that being a life-long philanthropist and living a life of service is not easy but the gifts that come for both you and the people you help are immeasurable.

A lot of stress management advice focuses on individual habits, but shared relaxation can be just as important for couples. I’ve come across discussions where people mention trying a Couple Massage in Anna nagar as part of their routine. The idea seems to be less about occasional pampering and more about maintaining a steady rhythm of unwinding together. When both partners relax in the same setting, it often creates a sense of balance that carries into daily life.

Daily routines can be demanding both physically and mentally, which makes intentional relaxation increasingly important. It’s encouraging to see more conversations around simple wellness habits that fit into everyday life. A Body Massage In Velachery is often considered by people looking to take a mindful break from busy schedules while supporting overall comfort and relaxation through consistent self care.

I’ve come across several recommendations for the Best Kitchen Renovation Companies in Toronto while reading home improvement content. Professional expertise is always valuable.
