Life Coach With Dwarfism Empowers Others
SUBSCRIBE to Barcroft TV:
A life coach is using the challenges she has faced due to her dwarfism to empower others. Born with a type of dwarfism called spondyloepiphyseal dysplasia congenital (SEDc), Julie Bond Genovese stands at 4ft 3in tall and says her condition has been a ‘mind-blowing and heart-wrenching all-you-can-hurl rollercoaster ride’ and she grew up believing she was ‘cursed.’ The counsellor from Dover, New Jersey, describes the way children with dwarfism are measured, talked about by doctors, and put through surgeries, which creates an inner sense of being a ‘broken person.’ But Julie says that the years of operations, stares, bullies and rejection has made the 53-year-old the strong woman, mother, wife and successful therapist that she is today.

“…are you assuming people will define you by your dwarfism, just ’cause you do?” – I needed that.
I am often too afraid to talk to people because I make assumptions about how people will see and treat me based on how I see myself. In other words, i’m insecure with who I am. Still.
Don’t ever mind of how people see you Brother. What is most important is how you See yourself, and that is the Beginning of Freedom
It’s a hard thing to change and it takes time and effort, but you can do it!
I’m glad that advice (from my sister) spoke to you, too! It’s a challenge to let go of how other people see us and define us ~ but the freedom is well worth the effort 🙂 Onward and upward Thomas!
I’m glad she’s happy with herself she’s perfect??
ur cringe
Thank you, Fabulous! YOU’RE perfect 🙂
I have crippling depression
K.
same
Really? Cause I’m clinically diagnosed with depression and yet I am also very realistic, overly logical (sometimes too overly logical) and very aware of the different outcomes of different situations. I have been told this by many different people. Depression does not skew reality and it does not prevent people from being able to analyze reality the same way you do. It’s not like I’m wearing depression glasses where you see rainbows I see doom and gloom, that’s not how depression works. How about you just shut up and don’t comment on things you know nothing about.
it might not be a bad thing, look up “depressive realism”
Inspiring woman
Thank you, Awakened Spirit! 🙂
such a positive person despite all she’s been through. We can all learn a lesson from this lovely lady’s example.
I appreciate the vote of confidence Pepe! Thank you!
She is beautiful inside and out! Her voice is so comforting and I love how she listens and look at the people she talks too. I’m not a self-help book kind of person, but I believe she can really help people and it’s admirable 🙂
I love her, she is very kind.
I wonder if this is what I have, I’m only 4’11” and I look like her, I need to see if I can get disability because life is so hard when you are short
I love that she does everything, it makes me feel emotional and happy because she just gets on with life.
she’s a sweet lady ?
She’s beautiful
it’s sad that she was actually bullied.
Wow that quote at the end legit made me cry “it’s going to be okay in the end, and if it’s not than it’s not the end” this woman is so inspiring
