How A Conversation Can Change A Life with Julie McLean
*Trigger warning: suicide*
Join Karaleigh in an interview with the inspiring Julie McLean.
Julie says, “As a speaker and mental health advocate, I have done things I never thought possible. This came to fruition in 2021 when I was on the TEDxOcala stage talking about my mental health and mental illness. From there, I was certified as a coach to help others find ways to positively impact their mental health, and speak to groups on how to end the stigma of mental illness. Ending the stigma of mental health has become my mission. Asking the right questions can save a life. It did for me.”
Favorite takeaways:
1. When all you can see is dark clouds, the only reason you can see them is because of the sun.
2. Taking care of your mental health cannot wait. It has to be now.
3. I don’t need to be perfect because every time I fail at something it’s just another opportunity for me to learn.
4. Learning how to say no is a huge milestone.
5. Perfection doesn’t exist- it’s not something you can actually achieve no matter what you put into it.
6. You’re only having a bad day, you’re not having a bad life. You don’t know what tomorrow is going to bring.
7. Let’s help our future! The best legacy we can leave our children is confidence in themselves to be able to express their feelings.
Be sure to check out Julie’s talk from TedXOcala (2021) and her website starttheconvo.net.
