Journey with DR. J

Party Girl to PhD: Life Changing Stories


Listen Later

This isn’t polished “self-help.” It’s unfiltered conversations, practical psychology, and the kind of real stories you don’t hear on most podcasts.

Recorded live with a community audience, we dig into:

  • Why admitting “I’m empty” can be the first real step toward healing.
  • Choosing yourself — without apology — and how it changes your self-worth and relationships.
  • Lessons on mental health, boundaries, and rebuilding after betrayal or loss.
  • My own path from avoiding every feeling I had… to earning my PhD in psychology and building a life I didn’t think was possible.

These are voices that cut through the noise — raw, human, and rooted in lived experience. If you’re in a hard season, starting over, or just need proof you’re not the only one figuring it out, this episode is for you.

📗 Hosted by Dr. Julia Garcia — psychologist, speaker, and author of The 5 Habits of Hope, blending research, storytelling, and community to help you keep going when life gets messy.

This isn’t about finding a destination.
It’s about showing up for the journey—messy, honest, and fully human. 

Wherever you're at on your journey, keep going.. keep growing... and never lose hope.
