Match By Julia Podcast

Julia Bendis was born in the Former Soviet Union and moved to the US at the age of thirteen with her parents and younger brother. The women in her family have always done three major things in their lives: feed everyone, match and help everyone around them! Both her mother and grandmother have always dabbled in matchmaking, and continue to count numerous weddings and babies as a result. Julia's first match was when she was in high school, and she hasn’t stopped since. Matchmaking has literally been in her blood for generations, and connecting people in various forms is a strong passion of hers. Julia has always known that she had a keen intuition of who would be great together, and her ability to read people developed even stronger as she got older. This intuition and her grandmother’s wisdom has guided and helped her over all these years, and Julia continues to use her wise words and advice to this day. Besides helping singles, she has always been a strong advocate for women, human trafficking victims, the LGBTQ community, minorities, immigrants and anyone who needs a helping hand. Julia decided to formally start her matchmaking business after years of helping people find their partners in life. She did it as a hobby in her free time but realized that she spent more time getting involved in people's love lives than any other job she had. She works with male and female clients in Orange County and Los Angeles area. When she isn’t matchmaking, Julia speaks about her life as a Russian/Jewish immigrant, overcoming challenges and prejudice, writes about her resilient and hysterical Russian family, is trying her hand at comedy, and putting on singles events to raise money and resources for those less fortunate, and volunteers her time to local charities along with her husband and two children. Her oldest son is in college and her youngest is in high school.Her book No Smiling allowed: Growing up in Soviet Russia and other funny stories from a Jewish immigrant is now available for purchase at matchbyjulia.com It is a comedic but all true memoir about growing in Russia, being an immigrant in America, and the funny anecdotes that come with being a foreigner.You can follow Julia on various social media platforms:Website: matchbyjulia.comComedic blog: easternblocklox.wordpress.com Facebook: @Julia Bendis and @matchbyjulia and @nosmilingallowed Instagram: @matchbyjulia
