On Mental Health and Listening To Your Own Truth with Julianna Perez

Published: Jan. 29, 2021, 8 p.m.

Honest, down to earth, pure, real, are but some of the words that came to my mind to describe this heartfelt conversation with Julianna. Our connection was one that, if not for the both us being open to welcome new connections into our lives by saying yes and being willing to shed our shields, ditch the small talk and connect with hearts open, it would not have had the opportunity to be sowed, much less the opportunity for others out there who needed help going through their own hard seasons that you’re not alone in feeling resistance asking for help or battling mental health issues, and to hear that your story is as needed as the story of the person next to you.

Here are the takeaways:

  1. Being aware is the first step towards the path of healing 
  2. Binge-Eating disorder is another kind of eating disorder that is less known that the types we are more aware of; be mindful to not judge or negate the seriousness that can be involved with just what we are typically exposed to 
  3. An easy “out” when dealing with problems is often to negate it 
  4. The willingness to have hard conversations with loved ones can be necessary sometimes to heal from difficult situations and childhood wounds 
  5. There’s so much to be said about being heard and understood that is critical to healing 
  6. Be curious instead of being judgmental and you’ll see meaningful and nourishing connections develop 
  7. The world is getting more saturated yet it’s more lonely than ever  
  8. Listen to your own truth and ask yourself “What do I really need?” 
  9. The real only constant is yourself. Focus on you. Choose to go for what makes you proud. 
  10. Work on filling your own cup and you will see how that will create positive ripples in the way you relate to others around you 
  11. Julianna’s favorite mantra: RIGHT HERE, RIGHT NOW.
