Ask Dr. Julie Hanks

So glad to see this podcast is back!!! Love her advice, the episodes are so helpful and provide a different perspective on how to deal with each issue. Love this show!

Reading some of the more recent podcast reviews here has brought up some thoughts I need to express. Life is complicated and messy. It is NOT black and white. Any feeling you have after listening to an episode is yours to own and not the “fault” of the messenger. If you’re feeling uncomfortable or even bad, the messenger or content isn’t the scapegoat. Pause and reflect on what you feel uncomfortable about or why you feel fearful or sad/bad. There’s more beneath those feelings that has the power to change and refine us. Learn from rather than demonize or “criminalize” them. I love that Dr. Hanks is willing to put her boots on with spade in hand and work through the tough stuff. She is real, raw, sheds a light on what needs to be illuminated, and speaks up for the marginalized. She amplifies the voices of those who may not have the reach or platform that she does and for this I am so grateful. The fact that there are reviews to the contrary support that her content is getting folks out of comfort zones, and that is GOOD. Progress doesn’t happen relaxing in a hammock on the beach. 🏝️

Dr. Julie Hanks validates what I’ve been feeling for a long time, and has created a safe space for discussion. She truly does help you personalize your faith, revolutionize your family and prioritize your hopes and dreams. I cannot recommend her enough.

I love Julie's straightforward approach. She never beats around the bush and asks questions that always help me come up with the right answer for me. i appreciate this podcast so much.
