She remembered thinking, “I want to be an actress. I want to be a singer. I want to go to Hollywood.”
When Julianne had first moved to Los Angeles to chase her dreams, she shared an apartment with a few models, who were making a lot more money than her.
She said, “They would wake up at four o’clock in the afternoon and get $12,000 checks in the mail and I was getting $33 overdraft fees and hustling my butt, just trying to go to central casting and go on every audition that I could think of.”
At one point, Julianne couldn’t pay her rent, leading her to open herself up to dancing opportunities once again. She ended up hearing from the Dancing with the Stars producers, who offered her a spot to be a dancer on the show.
“I was like, okay, I’ll do it,” she said. “I ended up doing the show and won my first two seasons back to back. It was like a ripple effect. I felt like the stars were aligned.”

The next few years, her career skyrocketed with music and movie deals. Despite finding the success she wanted in front of the camera, she found hardships behind the scenes.
“My dogs were killed by coyotes. My marriage [with Brooks Laich] started unraveling, but my career, my friend group, everything that I had known really started taking a different shape,” Julianne explained.
“That was very much like probably the darkest time.”
To get through the rough period in her life, she “poured my energy into things that brought me joy,” like self-care and friendships.
Julianne admitted it “was a process” but she is glad it had taught her “you can’t rush feeling.”
“You can’t rush the timeframe that you need to go through to learn a lesson,” she concluded.
