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. 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.

In this first episode of The Journey with Dr. J, psychologist and spoken word poet Dr. Julia Garcia peels back the layers we wear—the achiever, the strong one, the fixer, the one who keeps it all together. Recorded live in Phoenix, the episode holds space for what happens when we stop performing and start being real.
