What's On Top with Juli Stratton and Friends
Hey there, welcome to What’s On Top! This is the space where I get to share what’s been on my mind, in my heart, or just in the air around me lately. Each episode will be a mix of personal stories, trending topics, and things that just deserve a little spotlight. Sometimes I’ll be solo, and sometimes I’ll have a friend to talk with.
What’s on top is a phrase I have used for a long time. It just describes the things that are sitting closest to the surface, whether they are on my mind or in my heart. Leave a comment if something resonates with you, or if there is something you want me to explore with you. I really hope you come back and join me for an episode of “what’s on top”.
Until next time, take care of yourself. And don’t forget to pause once in a while and ask: What’s On Top?
(What's on Top is the newest iteration of the former podcasts Inside Out and From The Heart. You can still access the former episodes).
