Welcome back to I Care About You, the podcast where we dive deep into the realities of emotional and mental well-being — especially as it relates to purpose, resilience, and self-love.
Today we’re going to talk about something we all face — whether we like it or not: turning points in life. The moments where things shift — sometimes gently, sometimes abruptly — and we’re called to grow, reassess, and even redefine who we are and where we’re going.

Welcome to I Care About You — I’m your host, Juliana J.
Today we’re talking about something that hits deep in our relationships: expecting others to behave the way you would — to react with your level of kindness, compassion, patience, understanding, and support. We’re going to explore why this expectation causes pain, how releasing it actually frees you and helps relationships grow, and finally, how to discern the difference between someone who’s simply unsure how to respond and someone who can’t meet you with kindness.

This is an encore episode on why the small act of a genuine apology matters. It matters a lot! We are often afraid to say sorry because we feel it makes us weak, but actually, the opposite is true. Listen in to why the art of apology is a superpower!

Guided meditation is discussed in this video: https://youtu.be/jKdNMsUvTds.
Have you ever wanted to help with something? Are you looking for direction, guidance, or to be looked after, and you can’t seem to find someone who will help you? Never fear, you can be your own guide, find your own direction, and be your own support system. You can do this by locating your power animal or a spirit guide. Okay, so stay with me here. I know some of you are probably thinking that is a little woo-woo and a crazy idea, but hear me out. Many philosophies delve into this idea of guides from spiritual practices, meditation, the Silva Method, and even more traditional forms of empowerment training. They may call the spirit guides by other names, but the empowering intentions and practices are very similar. In this episode, find out ~ What power animals and spirit guides are. Why are they helpful? How can you find your guide or power animal? How will they help you find your true nature and work through issues that arise?

Today, I want to speak to what I sense is rising in our world — an inner wave, a collective awakening. I want to talk about “the empath” — what it means, why so many of us are waking up to this sensitivity now, and why I believe we are entering the Age of the Empath.
If you’ve ever felt deeply: maybe you sense the feelings of others before they speak; maybe you absorb moods, energies, or vibes in rooms; maybe you crave alone time after socializing; maybe you’re deeply moved by suffering, by nature, by beauty — this episode is for you.

Today on I Care About You, we discover part 2 of setbacks with healing affirmations. These affirmations help shift the inner dialogue from shame, defeat, or fear to curiosity, learning, resilience, compassion, and hope. They honor the messy, imperfect, beautiful journey of growth.

Today I want to talk about something many of us struggle with: “failure.” Not the quiet kind we whisper about in the middle of the night, but the loud moments when things don’t go as planned — a creative project tanks, a relationship ends, a job doesn’t pan out, or a dream feels crushed. We often see these as signs that we’re broken, unworthy, or stuck. But what if — what if failure isn’t the end? What if failure is simply part of the journey toward wholeness, growth, and deep self-understanding? That’s what we’ll explore today, through the lens of one of psychology’s greatest thinkers: Carl Jung.

Today we’re talking about a heavy but powerful theme: organizing your life around an old wound — what that looks like, how to notice it, and simple practices to begin reclaiming your life. I’ll share something very personal with you in this episode, and we’ll also do a short practice and journaling prompts together.

Today, we’re going to talk about something that touches all of us, especially when life gets hard: being in the here-and-now — practicing mindfulness, staying present — and how that can be one of the most powerful tools during challenging times.

John Graham made a life out of living on the edge and is an author, adventurer, former diplomat, and citizen activist. He has deep wisdom to bestow on us, and he was a pure delight to speak with —once, then (due to internet issues) twice! Join me in this 2-part discussion as we talk about his greatest lessons and how to find meaning.
He has some stories that will make your heart race and your pulse quicken! What a joyous conversation!
