Listen "EP 14 Female Private Investigator Challenges Age and Gender Norms "
Episode Synopsis
In this episode I chat with a dear friend of 20 years, the remarkable Julee Dennis, a 66-year-old private investigator from Austin, Texas, whose journey is a testament to perseverance, passion, and the power of reinvention.Growing up with showbiz parents and a strong entrepreneurial spirit, Julee initially pursued a career in music, performing with the all-girl rock band Tomboy and later forming her own band, Denim and Lace. After her successful music career and several entrepreneurial adventures, she eventually found her true calling in private investigation after a personal custody battle for her grandson sparked her interest in the field.With determination and support from a colleague, Julee became a licensed private investigator and, a few years later, she founded Lighthouse Investigations, specializing in a variety of cases, from custody battles to missing persons. The agency covers all of Texas and extends nationwide with digital investigations—helping families find closure and reconnect with lost loved ones.In an industry often dominated by men, Julee has proven that neither gender nor age can limit one's potential. Throughout our conversation Julee shares valuable insights on finding meaning in daily life, the importance of gratitude, and the fulfillment that comes from empathizing with and supporting clients through challenging times. Her story is a powerful reminder that we all have unique gifts to offer and that it’s never too late to pursue new dreams and opportunities – and thrive after 65!You can learn more about Julee’s business, Lighthouse Investigations, here: https://www.lighthouseinvestigationsaustin.comIf you found inspiration from this conversation, please rate, review and share this episode.I’d love to hear your thoughts, so be sure to hop on over to Don’t Be Caged By Your Age on LinkedIn or Instagram.
