Natural Born Heroes Book Tour
Julie was a guest presenter for best selling author Chris McDougall’s book tour for his second book Natural Born Heroes.
Julie discussed her own re-discovery of a love of movement and how starting to do parkour led to a more adventurous and fun life as well as increasing her fitness and strength. Viewing the world as a playground is both empowering and fun.
