Registrace 26. 06. 2010
Since 1995, I have coached people, young and old, with all kinds of diagnosis and various disabilities or neurodiversities. Our focus was personalizing and living a life they love. I learn a LOT from my clients and their families. I even started applying those techniques to my own journey.
I am Julie, and my experience with ADHD means that I can be distracted to a fault. For productivity and focus, my anchor is EMBARK (Exercise, Mindfulness, Beautify, Assign, Recreation, Kindness). For creativity, clarity and processing, my favorite tools are pens, markers, paper, journaling and Canva.
I hope you find, through meeting people here, that you are not alone and that we are all somehow relatable.
Embrace your brain (wonder, wander, ponder) then EMBARK on your life!

Go RayRay! My favorite pianoman! Great vid, Julie!
Congratulations, Audrey! You will enjoy your next chapter in your life when you start teaching at UC Davis. It will bring you joy and happiness ever when the famous motto says, "Let there be light". I wish you the best in your next adventure.
I can see the difference between listening to the previous video and the audio sound without the picture.
This is just such a lovely and informative discussion. As the sister of a man with Down syndrome, I'm grateful to you both, Jared & Julie!
Melissa, thank you so so much! Jared is really a wealth of information! I feel he and his family have paved a path of inclusion just by being so outgoing! Thank you again for commenting!
Omg 😮 never seen this many stingrays at the beach
Crazy right?! But really cool!
Hi Julie and Audrey, Stay strong and I absolutely love your videos. 😊❤ They inspire me to keep doing better things for myself.
Thank you Emily Do! You just made my day, fantastic lady!
Awesome!!!!!!
You did it, Julie! I'm definitely a super star and a Martinez Hero to all the world. Thank you so much for posting my CZcams video. Everybody will love learning about me, my background story of my life, and Once A Butterfly children's books. My dreams have come true after all.
You are the best, Franklin, one of THEEE most positive humans I know! You embrace life and you create opportunities for yourself that pave a path for others. Thank you for being YOU! And for allowing me to interview you and benefit from your light! 🙏
It is my pleasure, Julie! After all, I am who I am from the moment I was born on a Friday evening on July 15th, 1994. My parents and my sister Marina loved me. Let's celebrate with success!
raymond, so glad you’re doing well now and claretta, you’re a great advocate and caregiver! even though it was on a serious topic. this video cheered me up and inspired me. this is such a great tip for anyone who has a loved one in the hospital or another similar facility (e.g. a rehab place) to keep access to a video of the individual in [recent] well times because just on paper (i.e. diagnoses) or by current functioning - out of their normal environment or due to illness or like claretta mentioned, lack of familiar people, this individual may not be acting himself and may need a different approach to help them respond. furthermore, it’s scary that actually these issues in these situations could even mask other problems (i.e. assumption that due to primary diagnosis, the individual is incapable in someway that that in fact usually are not but that would not otherwise be known) and could lead to misdiagnosis, poorer outcomes, or prolonged inpatient status, among other things. for example, it is a common phenomenon for geriatric patients to present with cognitive symptoms just due to infection (e.g. uti). also common is for senior citizens, particularly those with dementia, to withdraw or exhibit cognitive dysfunction with [prolonged] hospital stays even if their proper functioning and environments wouldn’t predict that. also what if someone like raymond didn’t have a video of him acting his normal way and the hospital staff weren’t able to recognize a bigger or different problem that they assumed was part of his disability but which was actually due to an illness of issue he couldn’t communicate or that wasn’t presenting typically or obviously (e.g. what if his state of consciousness was decreasing due to hypoxia or blood loss or stroke or something bug it was taken as him being in his “normal” vegetative state, as claretta put it - which it turns out would be so far from the truth). anyway, food for thought and thanks for sharing! sorry for such a long post but thanks for reading if you did apologies as well for the liberal use of ‘e.g.’ oops! thanks for the inspiring posts, julie!
Thank you so much for commenting and validating with such articulation - you made me cry! I really want to call attention to the benefit of this type of video. I would like to do another video on this - or strictly audio for the podcast. You speak as if you have real experience with this. If you are willing, I would love to talk with you more about this, and interview you if you are comfortable with that. Please let me know juliereister@mac.com. No hard feelings if you decline. Thank you again for your long post, complete with the e.g.'s! 😄
This is amazing, Julie! I can definitely do the yoga and follow along with you and Annie just like Yoga With Adrienne I used to follow through. Thank you, Annie!
I love to hear that Franklin! Thank you!
You're welcome, Julie! I'd love to include you and Karlie in the Once A Butterfly Book Club I invented with a total of eight children's books completed so far.
Wonderful second episode! Jared is an inspiration with his many talents, high energy, and positive attitude. Lovely conversation. Keep them coming!
Sherry you are wonderful! Thank you so much!
Thank you Annie and Julie for the yoga relaxation method. I'm thankful for your work Julie! Keep the positive videos flowing, please.
Love this! -- so "Hi, Audrey!"
Thank you, Steph! This girl is going to change the world- not just as a peer advocate for inclusion, but a fantastic example of an Evolved Human! When she spoke this on-the-spot, she was a preteen. This month she turns 18! Watch out World!
Listening to Jeremy filled me up today. Wonderful interview, Julie! I hope Jeremy comes back soon to update us on all the cool things he continues to pursue.
Sherry! Thank you so much! I hope so too! I'd really like him to join me to interview some of his friends from A Walk on Water! Thank you so much for watching!💓
Julie -- this is so great! You are increasing awareness and understanding of disabilities which is so helpful for us all!! Love that you had Raymond on your show and that it helped him in his healing and with hospital staff care!! BRAVO 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 Keep up the good work!!
By the way-- I love that your bird wants to be on the show too 😆🤣! You are a natural as a host! Also -- to let you know -- I have several of Raymond's original recordings (at least 4 songs) if you want to share them with everyone 😉👍
@@stephmserna oh heck yeah! Maybe we can all three get together for a interview? I also want to interview you Steph. I have been meaning to email you. I will text later to see if I have all updated info. Thank you for commenting here 🙏
Oh my gosh! I apologize for the lack of attention to the captions. I will fix it, bit by bit. Thank you for watching. Jeremy is the depiction of Integrity, kindness, and positive energy!
This is great, Julie! I am following an subscribing and I would love to share some stories and hear more of yours!
Thank you and Yes please, Stephanie! Let’s talk!
Such an incredible vision! Thank you so much for putting this, you, and your experiences with so many fabulous people out there! I look forward to many many many opportunities to hear, see, laugh, cry, grow and LEARN!
You awesome woman! Thank you for this!
Thanks for starting the conversation and sharing Joe's story. Looking forward to many more stories and watching this dialogue build.
Thank you Sherry, I am too! I am so excited to interview two friends this week!
That may sound like a complicated story about why anybody’s different, but neat anyway. I like it.
🤣 Franklin, you are right!! I over-edited this one, I think. The message I hope to send is that we need to drop the barriers across all diversities, and feel free to say "hello" to anyone no matter what our differences may be. Hey Franklin, can I interview you and talk about your life, your art and your books?
Sure, I would be honored for you to interview me! When can we meet up?
Podcast sure sounds interesting, Julie! I can guarantee that.
Franklin I would love to interview YOU and talk about your books and your art, too!
Yes!! Very excited for the future of your podcast. I'll be supporting RAD every step of the way.
🙏
Way to go Julie and Audrey! You killed!
Mike, you have a great smile! Thank you for reviewing the book, Different.
I'm excited to learn and watch more videos like this one. Thank you, Julie and Audrey. Look forward to expanding this conversation with you.
Thank you so so much Sherry Abdou!
That’s a wonderful book that Mike went through. I love being different when I’m the best children’s author and illustrator and make others happy with my talents of art. Of course, being different is okay like Rudolph, Dumbo, Quasimodo, and the Sneetches with either stars or no stars.
Franklin- thank you! You make a great point here! I must re-read the book about Sneeches! I hope your books are selling well! Where can we find them? Amazon?
That's right, Julie! The first seven books I published are available on Amazon if you want to purchase.
This is just the best! Thank you.
Awwwe! Thank you Heather! Last night in our Yoga class, Jeremy F said, “Oh I have that book! That’s a great book!” 💖
I have 2 corrections and 1 question: The misspoke, the quote should have been "THINK outside the box." (But I encourage anyone to "step outside of the box" and embrace differences. When referencing his middle school experience he said, "A few weeks ago..." Mike is an adult. QUESTION: Have you ever felt left out? Explain what helps you when you feel left out. You might be helping someone else!
What an amazing place to compete in a 2 mile run, Julie! I like your hat and Audrey’s too. They are awesome!
You are the best Franklin! Anyone reading this must check out Franklin's channel and the books he wrote and illustrated!!
That’s right! I’ll bet they’ll fall in love with my CZcams videos and the children’s books that will make people happy again, especially for Karlie. And on top of that, I’ll be the most popular person in the world.
@@franklinmartinez771 and that would be my wish, my friend.
Of course! I’m even planning to make children’s books into merchandise.
Raymond's face at 6:36 gives me life!! He is such a joy 🥰!
Kiana - you are so right! Thank you!
I cannot wait to cheer you ladies on as you cross the finish line!
Wow, I absolutely love this video and the energy that both of you ladies have! You make a great team and I'm excited to see you accomplish the 5k in September! Also Audrey has a really beautiful smile 😁 Keep up the great work and happy to have found your channel from Slow Growth's slack community 💛
You just made my day! Thank you so much for your support and enthusiasm!
Wow Raymond reminds me of my friend Matthew Dolmage. Thank you for making this video ❤ I have similar career experience and I'm very interested in the work your doing. my name is Wayne MacNeil and I live in Orangeville Ontario Canada and if Raymond is looking to talk to people I would love to be his friend. Yours as well.
Shotcaller71 and BEAKERBOT, you are so wonderful for sharing here! Thank you for seeing Raymond's light - he really is a spectacular man and great friend. Shotcaller71, I would love to hear more about what you do! My email is in transition right now, so it may take a minute but it's juliereister@mac.com
BEAKERBOT, thank you for sharing about your brother, and thank you for seeing the Brilliance that is Raymond. I am sorry you lost him, but so happy you had him. You clearly saw Matthew's magic. I wish I had met him.
Thank you for sharing this story 🙏❤
Such a beautiful and positive video. Thank you Raymond, my 4 year old daughter has Rubenstein-Taybi and you have filled me full of hope and joy. We also have a piano! I would love it if she could learn to play like you xxxx
Thank you Nadia, This will make Raymond's day! Love to you and your daughter 💗
That’s one way to be active when it comes to running and exercising. I used to enjoy running cross country and track during my high school days at La Serna High School in Whittier and I was a good runner.
Did you really? That is so cool Franklin!
Of course I did, Julie! That’s when I was running during my freshman and sophomore year.

I can be an expert on doing yoga following the fitness video from FitOn app on my iPad and the yoga video Yoga With Adrienne. I still love the best yoga and home exercises the best!
Franklin that is wonderful news! I did not know you practice Yoga! Do you have a favorite posture?
Yes I do, Julie! I like the child’s pose, stretching, meditation, and mountain pose.
I was diagnosed with RTS when I was around 3-4. I'm am an adult. I'm from NC. I can sing and play the piano. I have an RTS family, two adults with RTS. I'm happy with my diagnosis.
Melissa - thank you for this! How interesting that for such a rare genetic condition you know two more people with RTS! Raymond would LOVE to meet another person with RTS. I am actually editing another video of Raymond now. I hope to post it this week. Thanks again Melissa.

Thank you, Franklin, you are the best! So positive and enthusiastic! I did not know you were, in fact, the Chocolate King! If you try these cookies let me know!
I never knew Karlie had a sharp eye when she caught the sight of sting rays, but that's awesome! You'll never knew what you might find underwater.
So true Franklin!!
You are really adorable
You are a woman with a good heart

Woulda been cool to also see Raymond's twin brother...and see how their bond and how they interact with each other...fun video either way :)
So true! I took a picture of a picture of him, but felt it wasn't enough. He lives in another state and I am hoping to do a follow-up video with the two of them talking about "life and brotherhood" together. I hope to get a chance this Summer. Thank you so much!
How cool is Raymond? 😄
He truly is!
I keep seeing that Trap town NCS that left you a comment also below is some kind of scam...i don't know...but just thought I would let you know! Hope y'all are having a great day!

Congratulations!!
Thank you! Are you doing Keto?
@@juliefordreister Trying..seems like I do well for a month and than not so well for another. Have alot of weight to lose so not giving up yet :)
@@northcarolina9065 good! It really is more simple than it seems. Be sure to take your measurements! Two years ago, when I first started serious Keto, I saw no results on the scale and felt defeated. My measurements were what kept me going. That and I love the food 😜! When new to low low carb, it can take a few months for our bodies to burn fat for fuel, because I guess the stomach is establishing new enzymes, among other things. Hang in there and keep in touch! Your attitude has motivated me!
