Let’s be honest. You don’t need another commitment. You don’t need more "homework." You definitely don’t need to pretend you’re "fine" in a circle of women who are all silently drowning.
If you’re staring at the ceiling at 2:00 AM, it’s not because you lack discipline. It’s because your nervous system is jammed in survival mode. You’ve been "The Strong One" for so long that your "Off-Switch" is rusted shut.
The Soul Joy Book Club is the circuit breaker. We don't just talk about the chapters; we integrate the science. We don't just read the words; we regulate the body.
One Community.
Two Pathways to Radiance.
We rotate our focus every month to ensure your heart is healing and your fire is reigniting.
Path 1: The Healing (In Pursuit of Soul Joy) We dive into the 12-week guide to overcoming burnout and compassion fatigue.
Focus: Somatic grounding, nervous system regulation, and identity reclamation.
The Goal: Moving from "Tired & Wired" to grounded and clear.
Path 2: The Fire (Are We Gonna Have Sex or What?) We explore the erotic recalibration playbook for the woman who is tired of the silence.
Focus: Midlife desire, hormone truths, and breaking the "Roommate Marriage" cycle.
The Goal: Moving from numb and invisible to sexy, powerful, and free.
Low Friction.
High Transformation.
Monthly Live "Somatic Coffee Dates": A 60-minute Zoom deep dive with Dr. Juls. We discuss a specific "Sex Truth" or "Burnout Reframe."
The 90-Second Reset: Every meeting starts with a live nervous system regulation ritual to get you out of your head and into the room.
The Safe Container: An "Unapologetic" space to ask the questions you’ve been too "polite" to ask anywhere else.
The Vault: Can’t make it live? Access the recordings and the "Soul Vitamin" summary sheets anytime.

Meet Your Guide: Dr. Juls
I’m Dr. Julie Merriman—the Midlife Nervous System Expert. I’m a professor, a researcher, and a Texas ranch owner who’s been married to the same man for 35 years.
I’m not here to "fix" you. I’m here to help you listen to the woman burnout buried. I’m in the arena with you, and I’m rooting for your radiance.
Are you ready to stop bracing and start breathing?
