A Lifelong Battle
Oct 8, 202301:11:22Tap to summarizeWe’re back….again! It took us a bit but here we are with a very open & honest conversation about Julie’s lifelong mental health journey. From therapy, anxiety meds, psychiatric hospital stays and growth. Julie tells it all! “Our goal with this podcast has always been to show others they are not alone and hopefully save lives. I always knew I wanted to share my entire story but it took me a year of episodes to feel comfortable enough to share it. Thank you to everyone who has ever listened to even a single episode. We wouldn’t be here without you!” -Julie
