About Me

Hi there! I’m Julie Lake—two-time SAG Award-winning actor from Orange is the New Black, screenwriter, musician, mom of two lively kiddos, National Board Certified Health and Wellness Coach, and a graduate of Yale.

I’ve spent over 20 years in the entertainment industry—acting in film, TV, and theater—and about a decade writing screenplays. Trust me, I’ve been through it all: the doubts, the rejections, the “maybe I should just quit” moments. But I’ve also experienced the thrill of creating something that feels true, the joy of sharing it with the world, and the satisfaction of pushing through fear to find what’s on the other side.

Here’s the truth—helping you unlock your creative potential brings me just as much joy as creating myself. Whether you’re a seasoned artist feeling stuck or someone just starting to explore your creative side, I’m here to cheer you on, ask the right questions, and keep you moving forward when that inner critic shows up.

Creativity isn’t about being perfect or getting it right—it’s about playing, exploring, and finding what lights you up. I’d love to help you tap into your unique voice and turn your dreams into reality, no matter how big, small, or delightfully messy they are.

Let’s make some magic together. I’m here for it, and I can’t wait to see what you create!
