A Deeper Look

I’m Julia Rae and this is A Deeper Look.  On the surface I’m a singer, actor, and patient advocate. Underneath I have faced a struggle or two, including setbacks from facing a serious chronic illness, and my villain edit on reality tv, and through it all I wished people would take a deeper look at me.  Join me as I gain insight from my guests who’ve inspired me with their grit and determination as they faced their own challenges.  I believe the most important stories are the ones deep within us — the stories that make us feel alone, yet connect us when we’re brave enough to tell them. Those are the stories I can’t wait to share. I hope you’ll come with me as I take “A Deeper Look.”  Follow Julia Rae on instagram here and tiktok here Hosted on Acast.
