About

There's a good chance you found me through a book, a podcast, a stage, or someone who handed you my name and said, "You need to talk to her."

However you got here, hi. I'm Jules, and stories are kind of my thing.

I'm a traditionally published author, ghostwriter, national speaker, podcast host, and the founder of CarrConsult. I help people and organizations find and tell their best stories: a book, a keynote, or a brand voice that finally sounds like them.

Effortless, conversational, hilarious. That’s how I would describe Julie Lyles Carr’s speaking style. I can’t wait to hear Julie deliver whatever the message may be. She’s one-in-a-million and a force when handed a microphone. I look for every opportunity to make Julie a part of any event I’m producing and can’t wait to have her again.

Julie Lyles Carr speaks to the soul. It’s true she will inform, inspire and challenge you, but she also moves you closer to Jesus Christ. She has filled my pulpit on a number of occasions on Sunday, she has spoken at retreats, and conferences. The daughter of a rocket scientist and daughter of the King. That is an unbeatable combination! You will not be disappointed.

All labor that uplifts humanity has dignity and importance and should be undertaken with painstaking excellence. Martin Luther King, Jr. What’s the phrase? ‘Worlds Colliding…’ It’s been a little bit wonderfully wild, these past few days.

Commuter Prom

When you homeschool, you sometimes have to go to a few extra lengths to experience some elements of ‘regular’ high school. Take, for example, 1 of 8 going to prom this year. She headed to California.

There is nothing as eloquent as a rattlesnake’s tail.  Indian Proverb, Navajo I never said I was Dr. Doolittle. Never. But I do have a soft spot for small fuzzy little creatures.
