Quitting the 9 to 5: How Julia Hunt Turned Content into a Career
Description
In this episode of the Creator Method Podcast, Gary sits down with Julia Hunt, a wellness and lifestyle creator who has built a fast-growing community through practical home tips, non-toxic swaps, and an authentic perspective on motherhood.
Originally from Russia and now based in Atlanta, Julia shares how she went from vlogging in Russian as a young mom to building a thriving English-speaking platform with over 128,000 followers. She opens up about leaving her secure job as a YouTube producer, balancing motherhood with content creation, and the mindset shift that allowed her to finally go all in as a full-time creator.
Julia also reveals the strategies behind her viral home hack videos, why consistency became her turning point, and how she learned to see her accent as an asset instead of a limitation. Her story is a powerful reminder that creators don’t need perfect circumstances—just the courage to commit, experiment, and stay consistent.
