I Care About You

Are you an outsider? You do see yourself as an outsider?

In this episode of the I Care About You Podcast, we dive deep into the persona of an outsider. Why we may resonate with the persona, how it helps and hurts us, and what we can do to find balance and connection. I talk about how I built it up in my mind as something "cool" about me, but then I realized the self-definition of an outsider was hurting me.

Welcome back to I Care About You, the podcast where we explore the raw, the real, and the resilient parts of being human. Today, we're exploring a topic that affects us all: forgiveness. It's not just a moral virtue or a spiritual practice; it's a profound act of self-care with tangible benefits for our mental and physical well-being.

Welcome back to I Care About You, the podcast where we talk about the real, raw, and sometimes messy parts of being human. Today, we’re diving into something we all struggle with: procrastination. We all do it—whether it’s avoiding emails, pushing off creative projects, or waiting until the last minute to do something important. But why do we procrastinate? And more importantly, how can we break free from it?

In today’s episode, we’re diving into a simple yet powerful practice: using positive affirmations in meditation to shift your mindset and improve your outlook on life. You’ve probably heard the phrase “thoughts become things”—but how often do we pause to consciously choose the thoughts we want to grow?

When paired with meditation, positive affirmations aren’t just fluffy feel-good phrases. They’re intentional seeds we plant in the fertile soil of stillness, helping us reshape how we see ourselves, our challenges, and our future.

So whether you’re new to affirmations or you’re looking to deepen your mindfulness practice, this episode will guide you through how to use these powerful words to realign with hope, clarity, and confidence.

Today, we’re diving into something that might just change your relationships, stress levels, and overall sense of peace in your daily life. It’s a deceptively simple idea that’s gone viral, and it comes from someone I deeply respect: author and motivational speaker Mel Robbins. It’s called… The Let Them Theory.

The Amazing Mel Robbins: https://www.melrobbins.com/

Her Book: https://www.melrobbins.com/book/the-let-them-theory/

Prompts we talked about:

🖊️ Prompt 1: Who in your life are you trying to change or control right now?

🖊️ Prompt 2: What would it feel like to simply let them be who they are—and shift your own response instead?

🖊️ Prompt 3: What boundaries have you been afraid to set? What do you fear will happen if you do?

🖊️ Prompt 4: What part of your peace are you willing to reclaim this week?

🖊️ Prompt 5: Write a letter to your past self who needed to hear: “You don’t have to fix them. Just love yourself enough to let them go.”

Today on I Care About You, we’re diving into a cultural phenomenon that’s been buzzing across TikTok and beyond: Lucky Girl Syndrome. It’s the idea that if you truly believe you’re lucky and that everything is always working out for you, then… it will. Sounds magical, right? But is it a mindset hack or just another way to spiritually bypass the hard stuff? Let’s get into it!

Feel free to explore these resources to deepen your understanding of manifestation and positive psychology. Resources Mentioned:

Welcome back to I Care About You, a space for honest conversations about healing, self-love, and becoming the person you truly are. I'm your host, JulianaJ—and I'm so grateful you're here. Today I want to talk about something that shows up for all of us—something quiet, sneaky, and powerful: beliefs. Not conscious like “I believe pineapple belongs on pizza” or “I believe in climate change”— I mean the deep ones… The ones that whisper in your head when you try something new. The ones that tell you who you are, and more importantly… who you’re not. So today’s episode is called: What If It’s Just a Belief? How Our Stories Can Hold Us Back.

Today, we’re talking about something so important—the energy of relationships. Have you ever noticed how some relationships make you feel lighter, inspired, and more confident, while others leave you drained, questioning yourself, or just plain exhausted? That’s because every relationship carries a vibe, an energy. And whether we realize it or not, that energy affects us mentally, emotionally, and even physically. If you are in a relationship with a low-vibe person, you may become low-vibe and vice versa. You may also struggle with self-worth and other effects. This is the difference between being in a low-vibe relationship versus a high-vibe relationship.
