Meet Julia
Julia Saffold is a multifaceted author, mentor, and empowerment leader who equips purpose-driven individuals, families, and ministry teams to overcome challenges, embrace their purpose, and build lasting legacies. As a seasoned woman of faith, Julia cherishes her roles as wife, mother, and matriarch, intentionally shaping a legacy that reflects faith, resilience, and lasting impact. She holds an associate degree in Theology and enjoys ministering hope and inspiration to all people.
Julia’s passion for legacy-building flows through her work as an author support specialist in her daughter’s publishing company, where she is fondly known as “Coach Julia, The Author’s Doula.” In this role, she has mentored hundreds of aspiring authors, helping them birth (self-publish) books that heal, uplift, and inspire, transforming personal stories into tools for empowerment and lasting impact.
As a well-seasoned Music Ministry Empowerment Leader, Julia brings over four decades of experience as a highly sought-after choir directress and ministry mentor. Over the years, she has faithfully mentored choirs, worship teams, and supported music ministry leaders. Julia is also the founder of the Triumphant in Worship V.I.P. Experience, a worship arts movement launched in 2019 to strengthen and renew music ministries through spiritual encouragement, skills training, and team building. At the heart of her calling is a deep desire to uplift and equip music teams to build dynamic ministries that reflect the heart of God. Her newly released book, The Choir in the Mirror, offers 7 transformative keys to help music ministry teams reflect, realign, and renew their passion to serve with both skill and spiritual depth. Flowing from her role as a Music Ministry Empowerment Leader, Julia facilitates workshops, retreats, directors’ trainings, and leadership support experiences, each one designed to strengthen, unify, and inspire those who serve faithfully in the ministry of music.
Her gift for mentoring and empowering others continues to grow through her published book, Life-Work on Purpose, and her signature seven-step coaching curriculum. These tools are designed to equip others to live with clarity, courage, and purpose. Julia’s heart for legacy-building also flows through her family-centered outreach. Drawing from her journey as a mother and grandmother, Julia is affectionately known as “Mama Jewel” while touring with her daughter’s youth empowerment events, offering encouragement, wisdom, and a nurturing presence to parents of rising leaders who carry light and purpose forward. Her children’s book, The Beyond Beautiful Treasure Box, has sparked meaningful conversations among both youth and parents, inviting them to explore emotional resilience, identity, and inner strength. Her upcoming release, Raising Diamonds That Shine, deepens this mission by sharing seven empowering gems that help youth grow with clarity, courage, and resilience. These principles shape a transformative framework that strengthens families and communities to thrive with purpose and perseverance.
In every role she walks in, whether as minister, mentor, coach, or matriarch, Julia lives out her calling: to shine light, share love, inspire hope, and ignite change in every life she touches.
