🦩Comedy, Confidence & Self-Care
Show notes
In this episode I'm joined by comedian, businesswoman, wife, mother — and the creative force behind some of TikTok’s most loved characters — Julie Burke.
From growing up in a house full of girls in the 80s, trying to stand out while staying true to herself, Julie shares her journey through motherhood, business, and the moment she decided it was time to pour back into herself. As her children got older, the space for creativity grew — and with a little encouragement from a friend, Julie took a leap into comedy on social media.
While Instagram’s polished, picture-perfect culture never quite fit, Julie found her people on TikTok — with her very first video going viral. From there, she made a conscious decision to create comedy that was kind, clean, and something she could truly stand behind.
Julie opens up about:
- Creating comedy without cruelty or cursing
- Why validation is nice — but never necessary
- Managing trolls with humour, perspective, and confidence
- Her three pillars for content: educate, entertain, uplift
- Why creativity can be an act of self-care
- And how staying true to yourself is the real success
With honesty, humour, and a brilliant cheese analogy you won’t forget, Julie reminds us that not everyone has to like you — and that’s not only okay, it’s wonderful.
This episode is a refreshing, empowering conversation about confidence, creativity, boundaries, and being proud of who you see when you look in the mirror.
✨ Funny, thoughtful, and deeply relatable — this one will leave you smiling and inspired.
