We love a guest who can drop knowledge without making us feel like we’re trying to decode a NASA manual, and that is exactly why we brought on Dr. Julie Radico — psychologist, author of You Will Get Through This, speaker, teacher, and professional jargon destroyer. We met Julie at the Lower Bucks Chamber’s BOSS Roundtable and immediately loved her style: she takes complicated, clinical concepts and turns them into real language you can actually use. Not the “emotional dysregulation” nonsense… but the real translation, like: your emotions feel hard to manage, here’s what to do next. In this episode we get into: • The “teach-back” method and how repeating things in your own words changes everything • How anger actually works (spoiler: venting doesn’t help, rage rooms don’t help, and you have 90 seconds to break the cycle) • Why we assume the worst about people’s intentions (yes, even the guy who cut you off) • CBT, ACT, trauma tools, and how she builds therapy around the actual person, not the manual • How she manages doing a ton — private practice, coaching, consulting, speaking, writing — without burning out • Why therapists need boundaries too, and how she protects her own energy • Her book, You Will Get Through This, a mental health first‑aid kit you can pick up, flip through, and use chapter by chapter • The brand‑new book she’s writing on anger (dropping in 2026 — you heard it here first) Julie is funny, sharp, grounded, and makes mental health feel doable. Whether you’re a business owner, a parent, or just someone who sometimes cries out of anger in the car line (hi Jess), this episode gives you tools you can use today. And yes… she did the high kick at the end.
