Julie Lee Host of I See You Podcast Talks About Her Journey With Anxiety and Depression The Virtual Couch

Tony Overbay interviews Julie Lee, Host of the “I See You” podcast and author of the children’s book Broccolipunzle: A Fractured Fairytale. Julie talks about her personal journey with anxiety and depression. Julie grew up in a family of six children, with a father who battled bipolar disorder. She never thought that she would deal with mental illness until one day she found herself in the middle of a panic attack at the beginning of her teaching career. That initial panic attack led her back home to confront her own internal demons. Julie fought the stigma of mental illness, medication, and dealing with childhood issues to eventually find herself loving life again. Julie acknowledges that she may always be susceptible to those feelings of anxiety and depression moving forward, but she has a much clearer view of who she is as a person, and how self-compassion and connection will ultimately lead her to a more fulfilling, peace-filled life.
