In this episode of Mental Health Momentum, host Dr. David Morgan, licensed psychologist and Director of Mental Health Awareness at Silicon Slopes, sits down with Julie Janke, Founder & Publisher of Millcreek Lifestyle Magazine, for an honest conversation about identity, purpose, isolation, and the courage it takes to choose alignment over comfort.

With more than two decades of experience in media, partnerships, and community building, Julie shares her personal mental health journey—from navigating motherhood and identity shifts, to the quiet toll of professional isolation, to the leap of faith that led her to entrepreneurship. 

Together, David and Julie explore why mental health isn’t separate from business—it is the foundation of how we lead, connect, and thrive.

In this episode, learn: 

• Why self-awareness is the cornerstone of mental health

• How isolation quietly erodes well-being in high-performing professionals

• The mental health challenges women face in leadership and why they often go unspoken

• Why men and women together create better outcomes in business and life

• The role of meditation, solitude, and “tending your own garden”

• What it really means to bet on yourself when everything feels misaligned

This conversation offers insight, validation, and momentum for prioritizing mental health without sacrificing ambition.
