Invisible Strings Podcast
Invisible Strings—where we tug at the little threads that hold our lives together, from mental health and relationships to marriage, motherhood, and all the beautiful chaos in between. I'm Katie, your guide to navigating life’s tangled web, one string at a time.
Think of this as your weekly dose of insight, sprinkled with a bit of laughter, some heartfelt chats, and maybe even a happy tear or two. So, whether you’re juggling a million things or just need a break, let’s untangle life together—because those invisible strings? They’re what keep us connected.

Jules Bosi
With a focus on stress and energy management, Jules coached high-achieving lawyers and other busy professionals through releasing deeply rooted insecurities and limiting beliefs — to feel lighter, shine brighter, and live purpose-driven and impactful lives.
Inspired by the transformational impact of coaching, Jules felt called to develop a personal development program for teens. A mutual friend introduced Jules and Jenny — and the rest is history.
In 2024, Shine Teens transitioned from a passion project to a nonprofit organization, broadening its reach and expanding its perimeter of possibility. As a nonprofit, Shine Teens is able to deliver life-changing programs in a cost-effective manner.
Shine’s mission is to equip and empower teens to shine bright, through personal development programs — because we believe that what’s on the inside flows out — and spread light, through kindness, inclusivity, and local service initiatives.
