Katrina Julia of Atlanta Buckhead on Life, Lessons & Legacy

We’re looking forward to introducing you to Katrina Julia. Check out our conversation below.

Hi Katrina, thank you for taking the time to reflect back on your journey with us. I think our readers are in for a real treat. There is so much we can all learn from each other and so thank you again for opening up with us. Let’s get into it: What do you think is misunderstood about your business? 
No one talks about this part of being a full-time creator…

Everyone says:
✨ “Just post every day!”
✨ “Go viral!”
✨ “Turn followers into clients!”

But no one talks about:
😵‍💫 Burnout from content chaos
💸 Spending before you’re ready
⏳ The TIME it takes to get sustainable

Here’s what helped me:
✅ Systems
✅ Storytelling
✅ Selling on my terms

Creating content is easy.
Creating a business? That takes vision.

Can you briefly introduce yourself and share what makes you or your brand unique?
I’m Katrina Julia — Creator CEO, multi-passionate entrepreneur, speaker, retreat host, and global traveler. My story is one of transformation: from self-hate to love, from corporate to calling, from chaos to clarity. Along the way, I released 55+ pounds naturally, embraced sobriety, and built a lifestyle anchored in faith, freedom, wellness, and adventure.

With my MBA + (inactive) CPA, I’ve worked across 7+ industries — from strategy and finance to marketing and ops — creating results like $10MM+ bottom-line impact, 3000% ROI influencer campaigns, and 25x sales growth in a year. I’ve had the joy of collaborating with brands like Google, Airbnb, Amazon, NBC, Victoria’s Secret, Herbalife, ConocoPhillips, and AICPA.

I founded CREATEIT, part of FIT Life Creation — home of Creator School, Creator Retreats, and Creator AI Agents. Every experience is designed to help creators and CEOs who crave creating, community, and cash to #CREATEIT Like a Boss.

Having traveled to 42+ countries, I host Creator Retreats in places like Costa Rica, London, and Bali 🌴—where wellness, wealth, biz, and travel collide to limitless transformation, creation, and connection. www.fitlifecreation.com/creator

Amazing, so let’s take a moment to go back in time. What was your earliest memory of feeling powerful?
One of my earliest memories of feeling powerful was selling Girl Scout cookies as a Brownie. The prize I wanted? A little Teddy bear charm that felt like the biggest dream to my 7-year-old self. I needed to sell over 200 boxes to get it — and I was all in. I went door to door in my brownie uniform, completely fearless, sharing my excitement with neighbors and strangers alike. I even recruited my parents to help me hustle boxes at work and in the community. I didn’t just hit my goal — I exceeded it — and I still have that Teddy bear charm today as a reminder of what’s possible when you lead with passion, persistence, and playfulness.

If you could say one kind thing to your younger self, what would it be?
“You are already enough — loved, worthy, and limitless. Every part of your story, from the struggles to the strength is shaping you into the woman who will create, travel, speak, and inspire around the world. Trust the process, keep your faith, and know that passion + purpose + people will always lead to profits — in life and in love.”

Alright, so if you are open to it, let’s explore some philosophical questions that touch on your values and worldview. Is the public version of you the real you?
The version of me you see publicly — speaking on stages, hosting retreats, traveling to 42+ countries, creating content and communities — is the real me. At the same time, what you don’t always see are the deeply human moments of pain and growth that shaped me, like the caterpillar transforming into a butterfly. And that’s not just a metaphor for me — the butterfly is my spirit animal. It’s a reminder that every struggle, every pause in the cocoon, and every leap into the unknown has been part of my transformation. The real power is that both are true — the limitless creator you see and the deeply human woman becoming, again and again.

Okay, we’ve made it essentially to the end. One last question before you go. What do you understand deeply that most people don’t?
Turning pain to purpose is a power.
