In this powerful episode of Marriage, Motherhood, and PTSD, Coach Leah is joined by the incredible Julia Green—wife, mother, business owner, founder of the J. Green Institute, and beauty industry mentor. Together, they dive deep into what it truly means to walk in confidence, self-love, and self-worth—especially after seasons of trauma, self-doubt, or comparison.

Julia shares her journey from cosmetology school to running her own salon, mentoring the next generation of beauty professionals, and launching confidence workshops for young girls. She gets real about the challenges of self-esteem, the “noise in the background” that can steal your joy, and the importance of leaning on God for true confidence.

This conversation is for every woman who has ever:

Struggled with self-doubt or comparison
Found it hard to embrace her identity outside of her roles as wife, mom, or businesswoman
Needed encouragement to love herself fully and unapologetically
Wanted to help the next generation of women rise in confidence

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

Why confidence can feel “fickle” and how to anchor it in faith
How childhood experiences shape adult self-esteem—and the role therapy can play in healing
The signs of low self-esteem (including why some clients won’t even look in the mirror)
The power of representation, community, and sisterhood in building confidence
How to shut out the negative noise and keep walking in your God-given purpose
Why self-love starts with permission—forgiveness, grace, and intentional self-care

Julia also shares wisdom for parents, mentors, and educators on how to build confidence in the next generation, from bullying prevention to creating spaces where girls can be seen, heard, and celebrated.
