Julia Powell, founder of Freedom Studio, joins us to share her inspiring journey from competitive dancer to successful fitness studio owner in Charleston. Julia opens up about the twists and turns of her career—how her passion for movement and health led her to create Freedom, and the moment she almost walked away from it all to pursue a completely different path.



In this episode, Julia talks about her mission to build a space where fitness feels inclusive and empowering, a community where everyone feels seen and supported. She also gives us a peek behind the scenes of running a business, juggling long hours, and staying grounded through it all. From lessons learned to the joy she finds in her team and members, Julia’s story is full of grit, heart, and inspiration
