Julie Goodwin 'It was the worst night of my life'
Since becoming Australia’s first MasterChef, mum-of-three Julie Goodwin has become a much loved household name. However there is so much more to Julie’s story, because under the surface of her success she was dealing with mental illness, addiction and childhood trauma.
In this compelling chat Jess is brought to tears as she and Julie dig deep on the pressure she felt to appear strong, preventing her from speaking up about her internal struggles and seeking help. She also opens up about her alcohol addiction and why addressing the underlying issues, and big dose of self compassion was crucial in the healing process. Julie wants us to embrace the messiness of life, and talk about these difficult topics to help break the stigma surrounding them

Coming up on the podcast, I’m going to open up these conversations beyond my famous guests to people who don't often get a chance to share their story in a safe place without judgment. But I want to know who would YOU like me to offer the BIG talk microphone to?
