Today we’d like to introduce you to Justice Wolfe.
Alright, so thank you so much for sharing your story and insight with our readers. To kick things off, can you tell us a bit about how you got started?
So, my story starts way back as a senior in high school. I didn’t have a good relationship with my mom, I had/have tons of childhood and life trauma, I was filling myself with worldly desires and I was kind of a rebel child. I became very depressed and suicidal. I was in a very long depressive episode with no real friends. One day, I woke up and decided I am going to be happy, and fake it until I make it. Every day, I prayed to God to make me happy, and really during that time, I strengthened my relationship with God. After a year-long battle, I could truly say I was a “happy person” without having to fake it and I loved myself for who I was AND what I looked like.
Then covid hit, (I was working at a grocery store so, ex-essential worker) our schools/town shut down senior year of high school. Eventually, with everything canceled (prom, school itself, and events) I graduated high school covid style. Summer passed, I quit my job, then came college. I was still partying and lost in the world. I had to figure out finances with my own money like how to pay for a car, get a better job, pay for college, FAFSA, an apartment, stay active in church, and balance my personal life and mental/emotional health. Fast forward, just turned 18. I ended up in college with no clue of how I was going to pay for it. During that time, hurricane season was starting, so in the midst of evacuating I had to also do college online. Unfortunately, a hurricane 5 destroyed the town I lived in. Majority of the buildings/homes/cars left were destroyed. Most people just moved towns/states. Luckily, we (my family and I) came back from evacuation to a still-standing home but all the windows were busted out, roof damaged, and a huge tree fell on my parents’ camper and split it in half. So, living in a house with no water, ac, electricity, mandatory town curfew, and no grocery stores open. It was rough.
My college still expected us students to get our work done somehow, they expected me to drive to the closest city or state with Wi-Fi and “get the work done.” That could have been possible if I had a car but I didn’t. So, I had to drop out. That was the end of college for me.
Backtrack- while evacuating, I noticed me and this guy I used to go to school with (we were close freshman year but moved onto different friend groups) we ended up in the same small town in Texas! So, we made plans to hang out and all went well, he was a gentleman and made sure I made it back to the hotel I was staying at with my family (after we had gotten into a wreck of course). Anyways, time passes I am back in my functional hometown that was once destroyed, and so is the boy I went to school with, his house also survived. Time passes, and his family moves up to Shreveport and lets him live in the camper they bought. So, we started hanging out, literally, every day, haven’t missed a day yet. He got a job in construction; I got a job at the bank. We started as friends and then talked for 3 months. My parents are very old-fashioned so he had to ask permission to date me. So, after he did, we dated for 3 months, and we got baptized together (in the church I grew up in, and stayed at during the Hurricane). Then he asked my parents if he could marry me, and they said yes. He proposed we were engaged for 3 months and then we got married!
After we got married, I moved in with him, (into his camper). It was definitely some adjusting moving from my parent’s two-story house to an RV/camper, but my husband and I made it work. Fast forward 6 months, we wanted to save money so we decided to move up to Shreveport and live on his parents’ land. We got new jobs, got into a new church, and since I work a part-time job, I decided to take on Content Creations. I’ve been doing it for about 3 months now. So currently, my relationship with my parents have been good, I am still working my part-time job and my husband is still working his job. I’m also doing lifestyle and fashion content creations on the side, while we are both active in our new church. Finally, we just officially bought an apartment and we move in May (Happy one-year anniversary to us)!
So, that is a very small look into part of my story and how my life is right now!
We all face challenges, but looking back would you describe it as a relatively smooth road?
I was depressed and suicidal. Mental and emotional health was at a low. I struggled with horrible anxiety and alcohol. Went through covid, had covid, hurricanes, wrecked home, a bad relationship with my parents, dropped out of college, and much more.
As you know, we’re big fans of you and your work. For our readers who might not be as familiar what can you tell them about what you do?
I am currently a Lululemon Educator. I am an employee who educates our guests on product knowledge. I work the upkeep of maintaining a clean store. Along with being a leader, handling guests’ needs, leading sales, and in the works of moving up in my work!
I specialize in organization, leadership, and creating an environment to ALL people. I am actually known for my organization/precise detail skills and my encouraging personality!
I get recognized often for my hard work, dedication, outstanding performance, and being able to adapt easily to new environments and work tasks.
What sets me apart from others is, I am the youngest at my job being 19, I am very new to Shreveport and I have already made a positive impact in my community. I have built a great reputation for myself and work ethic!
We’d love to hear about any fond memories you have from when you were growing up?
My stepdad adopting me and me taking his last name. He adopted all of my siblings. In total, my parents together have 6 children!
