In 2022, mental health awareness is more important than ever. 2+ years into a pandemic, with calculated and manipulative media consistently being streamed in front of us, it can be difficult to check in with ourselves and process the trauma happening around us, and to us. Rebecca Silverstein is a psychotherapist with a background in trauma informed care and criminal justice reform. Most recently, she left her full time role to open her own private practice. In today's episode, we have an honest conversation about our own mental health, and why it's just as important as our physical health. This episode is for you if you're interested in:

Ways to find a therapist who you can connect with

How your mental health affects your physical health 

Lesser known symptoms of anxiety and depression

Boundary setting and navigating relationships in 2022

Ways to avoid social media overuse

Methods of self care amidst the unprecedented times (a phrase we could all use a little bit less of)

On today's episode I was able to sit down with my friend and colleague Taylor Rae Almonte to unpack and discuss systemic racism and how we can play a role in working against it. Taylor is an actor, and athlete (I work with her at Rumble Boxing!) and she's recently taken on the role of social media activist. Her weekly #BLM newsletters have key terms, topics, and discussion points to help educate and inspire. I am so thankful and privileged to be able to learn from her as well as have her on my platform to share with others.

While we're stuck inside, I'm is bringing you quick, informative episodes on how to live a better (not best) quarantined life. Today's episode is an honest conversation with Shannon Decker, a personal trainer who I had the absolute pleasure of getting to know when I lived LA. Most recently, she's the female trainer on the Shred app, which is currently the number one fitness app in the App Store. Shannon's success is the result of her desire to help others, her infectious personality, her work ethic, and her philosophies that we discuss in this podcast. We were able to agree on so many things, including the Better Not Best Mindset, and the strategies that have provided the most growth in our career and our lives. To day we get into:


How to organize your hustle so you're the most effective


The art of the niche


Tricks to kick the comparison habit


Why it's important during this time to work less


Advice for at home workouts


Insight into how we fuel ourselves

While we're stuck inside, Julia is bringing you quick, informative episodes on how to live a better (not best) quarantined life. On today's episode, Divya Gugnani, CEO & Co-founder of Wander Beauty, stresses the importance of small changes we can make in our beauty routine to live a healthier life. Wander beauty was started as a way to streamline beauty routines for busy people (like me), but it also rids the hormone disrupting toxins that we consume (unknowingly) from most beauty products. We talk all about managing being a CEO & a mom, the value of connectivity during social distancing, and how to balance it all while staying home. We cover so much goodness in this episode, so have a glass of cabernet with us and enjoy this conversation!
