What if your identity isn’t something to find, but something to reclaim?

Like the elephant in the old parable—where each blind man touches only one part and mistakes it for the whole—we’re often seen in fragments by family, friends, or society.

The Elephant in the Pool is your permission slip to step out of other people’s script and into your own story.

With humor, honesty, and science-backed tools, Julie Renae Smith shares raw and witty stories of identity, loss, and transformation. From cliff dives to foot massage epiphanies, she proves change doesn’t have to be heavy or complicated. Julie shows you how to make change doable – one small shift at a time.

“Julie always creates a safe space… She helps me connect the dots, even when I feel completely lost. And she makes it fun. Yes, personal growth can actually be fun.”
