Julie Cadman is a former automotive and healthcare executive, co-founder of the nonprofit Healing Complex Kids, as well as an author of nonfiction and fiction books. Julie was born and raised in Michigan, and lived in Puerto Rico, Texas, and Wisconsin before she returned to her birthplace. For as long as she can remember, she’s loved reading, and it’s been her dream to write. Life got in the way of her dream at first. She got her BS in psychology with a minor in business administration from the University of Michigan, went to work for General Motors, and received her MSA in administration from Central Michigan University. |

After twelve years at GM, which included an international assignment in Puerto Rico, she left to manage the General Motors account for two different tier one suppliers. In 2001, she married her husband, Dana, and they adopted their son and two daughters internationally. Julie began working in healthcare before co-founding a medical recruiting company. She learned about being a mom to children with special needs, autism, and chronic medical conditions.
When the pandemic happened, she decided not this time… this time, she was going to find time for her dream. So, she began writing in the creases of her day. At night, between eleven PM and two in the morning, she spent eight months writing two books.
She is the publisher and contributing author to Pathway to HOPE 2021 Resource Guide. And she was one of five authors from across the US and Canada selected to compete in an author’s pitch week for When Words Count. UnMasked won a silver medal award in the contest.
Julie is a consummate multitasker and began writing as her personal form of self-care. She gets her steps in by walking and wearing her headset as she loudly lip syncs to her favorite songs (“Uptown Funk” tops the list). Her family frequently has to remind her they can hear her lip syncing. She and her family live in the Midwest with their goldendoodle Kerby.
