With over 10 million followers and two Sunday Times bestsellers (Why Has Nobody Told Me This Before? and Open When), Julie has made it her mission to make high-quality mental health education accessible to everyone. In this conversation, we explore why young people are struggling despite having \"the best it's ever been,\" the crucial difference between self-compassion and self-indulgence, and how our modern obsession with optimization is setting us up for failure. Julie shares the powerful \"predator mindset\" that helped her through her own health crisis, explains why feelings are information rather than problems to fix, and introduces the \"solid back five\" concept - fundamental pillars of mental wellbeing that we constantly underestimate.
