Julia Britz is a licensed naturopathic doctor who received her training from Bastyr University in San Diego, CA. She specializes in supporting people who are struggling with mental health issues such as OCD, disorders eating and psychiatric medication tapering. Her passion for working with individuals suffering from these lonely conditions is that she too was a “hopeless case”, but got better.Dismissed by doctors, she was told over and over there was nothing else she could try beyond pharmacotherapy, and so was inspired to create myocddiary.com, a site dedicated to documenting the daily life of OCD and related disorders. Through this project and holistic therapies, she found new levels of wellness, and in 2014 did a TED talk called “MyOCDdiary: an imperfect story.” She utilizes natural and integrative modalities including targeted amino acid therapy, peptide therapy, micronutrient therapy, bioresonance, botanical medicine and epigenetic analysis. Most recently she was the director of naturopathic medicine at Alternative to a meds Center in Arizona and now practices telemedicine. SHOWNOTES:

Listen to Episode 19: APPLE SPOTIFY YOUTUBE SITE As we proceed to prioritize the unique concept of mental beauty, episode 106 of the Dare To Share Your Untold Story Podcast, Mental Beauty Segments, focuses on mindfulness in daily life, despite your untold story. In relation to this episode topic the prior episode 19 has been selected for further exploration and deeper dive. In episode 19, titled: “Her Unwavering Faith Conquered the Cancer and Every Other Wall that Came Her way”, featuring Nadia Gulhamhusein. Her journey is a powerful example of feeling your strength right from your core and keeping steadfast in your faith, beliefs and a higher power, while putting your full trust in the universe. From childhood she developed a sense of positivity in her viewpoint of the world. During the hardships she had faced with cancer, she took the time to stop and reflect on what she was going through, she wrote about her challenges and difficulties – and then was able to integrate positivity and cheer herself on. Nadia's open sharing serves as a permission slip for all of us to look at the cards we are dealt as a choice. She was faced with a choice to retreat or rise, and she chose to rise, chose ‘I can', and step into her greatness, she took her pain and transformed it into purpose, knowing that God had more work for her to do. Nadia's Mental Beauty rethink is about being open to knowing that each part of our selves is as important as the others, physical, emotional, mental and spiritual aspects. She expanded her thoughts to include that there is a need to be in spaces that feel safe so that we can show up with vulnerability, and openly speak about mental health issues and take care of one's mental health. By creating safety to share and be open, we create safe spaces to hold the conversations. She talks about equalizing the conversations. Listen to this episode as we take a deeper dive into this topic. 3 Practical ‘Mental Beauty Tips' inspired by Episode 106: Start with Daily Mindful Breathing: This practice helps ground you in the present moment and fosters a sense of calm, allowing you to start the day with a clear and focused mindset. Practice Acceptance Through Journaling: This practice encourages acceptance and helps you identify areas within your control, allowing you to approach problems with a balanced perspective. Set Intentional, Positive Focus: By consciously directing your energy toward something positive and manageable, you cultivate healthy positivity and empower yourself to navigate the day with intention and grace. Episode 106 Takeaway: Reflect on and Remember to Practice Daily: How can I show myself kindness with whatever it is that I am experiencing in this given moment? …and WTB - what's the blessing here, what do I need to see more clearly Engaging in this self-reflective process allows you to cultivate a deeper sense of self-compassion and awareness. When you ask yourself, "How can I show myself kindness with whatever it is that I am experiencing in this given moment?", you are inviting yourself to pause and acknowledge your current emotional state without judgment. The second part of the reflection, "What's the blessing here, what do I need to see more clearly?" invites you to shift your perspective and look for the hidden opportunities or lessons within your current situation. Of course, remember, if you want to share something amazing that you would like to have a shout out for on your behalf, just send an e-mail to mentalbeautycommunity@gmail.com.

So, it's been 4 years and 250 episodes. When you have a mental illness, milestones can be an important tool to track your progress. For me it doesn't feel like 4 years and 250 episodes. Inside my mind it's been a bleak wasteland of self-doubt and self-stigma that i have to challenge every day. But it's been awesome. I have a record of my journey of recovery spanning for 208 weeks that I can reflect on and be proud of. And along the way I've helped some people. But it wouldn't have happened without Torrien, Kevin and Lorraine. Most importantly it wouldn't have happened without Meredith, my wife and best friend. SUPPORT US NOW. See below for how.

When someone with bipolar disorder refuses treatment, it can leave loved ones feeling helpless and overwhelmed. How can you support them without enabling their denial? In this episode, Gabe Howard and Dr. Nicole Washington offer actionable advice for navigating this emotional minefield. Learn how to foster meaningful conversations, set healthy boundaries, and take care of your well-being while encouraging them toward treatment. This is a must listen for anyone wishing to help a loved one with bipolar disorder. “They're ultra focused on their sick family member. I understand that thinking, but I want to just rip the band-aid off. If you are not paying attention to your own mental health, if you are not practicing self-care and you are not getting the mental health care you need, that is also a very large problem. You need to put your own oxygen mask on first before you are in a position to help your loved one.” ~Gabe Howard, Host To learn more -- or read the transcript -- please visit the episode page.

Is Australia's social media ban the right way to go? Social psychologist Jonathan Haidt says it is time to reinstate the play-based childhood to bring our kids back from life online and into the real world, away from their increasing obsession with devices. It's a fact of modern life that children who are given smart phones are able to access pornography, real images of violence and harmful comparisons with their friends and also influencers around the world.Social psychologist, Jonathan Haidt argues that as the social norms have changed, and younger and younger children have been allowed access to their own devices, their participation in the real world has suffered.Jonathan's theory is that in order to combat the addicting influence of technology on our kids' lives, families and society must encourage and allow children to enjoy free play, independence and responsibility in the real world.He says, rather than despairing at the current state of childhood, we have the power to give children fun, excitement and a passport to the real world.This episode of Conversations touches on Australia's social media ban, screen addiction, smart phones, online gaming, social media, mental health, teens, childhood, free play, children's independence, risk, outdoor play, child development, Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, gaming, and Jonathan Haidt.

Why won't mental health professionals share with the public when they suspect a presidential candidate has mental illness? As election cycles intensify, the public often seeks expert opinions on candidates' mental health, but there's a reason psychiatrists stay silent. In today's episode, host Gabe Howard and guest Rachael Beairsto dive into the history of the 1964 Goldwater Rule, which prohibits mental health experts from publicly diagnosing public figures without firsthand evaluation. They explore why this rule was established after the Barry Goldwater controversy, the ethical and practical dilemmas it addresses, and how "post-truth" culture challenges its boundaries. In a world where facts can feel secondary to personal beliefs, this episode unpacks why mental health diagnoses in the political sphere may be more divisive than informative. Tune in to discover the surprising reasons why expert silence might protect both democracy and those living with mental illness.

The National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) has wasted more than $40 billion on genetic/biological research for mental health while suicide rates have soared and communities have lost crucial support resources.

Have you ever felt the need to “fix” everyone else's problems or put others' needs ahead of your own? I'm proud to welcome back psychotherapist and relationship expert Terri Cole, who shares insights from her book, Too Much: A Guide to Breaking the Cycle of High-Functioning Codependency. Terri reveals what high-functioning codependency (HFC) looks like—chronic overgiving, advice-giving, and prioritizing others at your expense—and explores the emotional and relational costs. She explains how these behaviors often stem from childhood adaptations and offers practical strategies to shift from problem-solving to holding space, set boundaries, and prioritize your own feelings.

Send us a textIn this podcast Tony channels Spirit to talk about the different ways other cultures and countries use chanting and other vibrations to address their version of clearing energy for optimum balance. No matter what country the methods of inviting harmony and dispelling negative energies are different but all have to do with being closer to the Gods, Spirits or Higher Realms.  We are all one as there is no separation between us. Many countries are taught to hate each other and to pull apart families resulting in many types of mental illness or the feelings of being alone. These ancient chants and energy work is depicted from many cultures in the meditation portion which is their answer to connection with the Gods.

"She had a really, really good life," says  Stephanie about her mother. That said, it was a good life, yet complicated.As a young girl, Joanie had many friends, and so many were drawn in by her joyful energy, big heart and infectious laugh. Joanie's father owned a women's clothing store and  she got to ware  the newest designs of dresses and outfits from the shop on a regular basis. She love her father and she love all the beautiful clothes.   Unfortunately, Joanie's father died suddenly when she was pregnant with Stephanie. Stephanie believes that her mother never fully recovered from this loss.In time,  Joanie taught her daughter how to nurture female relationships and Stephanie is so thankful for that. Joanie would spend time on the phone speaking with her girlfriends and she was a wonderful letter writer. She often wrote letters and sent care packages to Stephanie when away at camp, etc.Later on in life, unfortunately Joanie had been misdiagnosed by her doctors, before they started treating her for dementia.  Communication eventually became challenging for mother and daughter and Stephanie wanted to figure out a way for both women to be able to communicate.  Stephanie started engaging more with the right side or "intuitive" side of her brain in hopes of opening up their connection through mind, body and spirit.After a long journey,  Stephanie was relieved when  her mother passed away. Stephanie insists that if she had do it all over again, she wouldn't change a thing. Though it was tough growing up with a mom with mental illness, there was so much love and appreciation between them. Stephanie is also grateful to her father who never wavered with his support, compassion  and attention and was always by  his wife's side, giving and getting her the best care possible.It's been many years since Joanie passed and yet Stephanie is in conversation, visual and spiritual connection with her mother on a regular basis. Including the signs that her mother sends via  the red cardinal outside the window.Stephanie is so thankful for her journey with her mother because my guest  feels "a really sharp ability to read energy."  Stephanie shares "that's part of the lesson of this walk in life. We con't have control of the things we presume to have control over." My guest is so grateful for the "nudges" that she started getting years ago. And even more thankful that she started recognizing and acknowledging these intuitive messages.She's built a career helping others because of her mother's experience  and she's so happy her mother is still a huge part of her life. Stephanie shares "through my channeling gifts, I reconnect people to their soul's wisdom and innate intuition to create a life of their wildest imagining."Stephanie is  asked regularly "how do I know if I have intuitive gives like you"?  "My answer is this: we ALL have powerful intuitive gifts. All of us. But we don't all use these gifts because somewhere along the journey we were taught to mistrust ourselves or fear our gifts. That's the bad news. The good news is: you can reclaim your gifts at any time! Your intuition never goes away.Speaking with Stephanie was so uplifting and a reminder  to not ignore the signal or "nudges" as Stephanie refers to the signals or messages we gets from a loved one and/or a higher power.If you're looking to contact Stephanie regarding sessions, all the correct information is below.STEPHANIE BANKS WEBSITE:www.soulinsight.comSTEPHANIE BANKS SOCIALS:FB: @stephanieintuitivechannelIG: @stephanieIntuitivechannelYOUTUBE: @StephanieBanks "Should Have Listened To My Mother" is an ongoing conversation about mothers/female role models and the roles they play in our lives.

They emphasize the need for trauma-informed care and the power of sharing one's story to empower others. Jan and her guests discuss the profound impact of childhood trauma and abuse on mental health, relationships, and personal identity. AJ shares her harrowing experiences of being trafficked and abused, the struggle with complex PTSD, and the journey towards healing and self-acceptance.

If you're like me, you often chide yourself as being lazy or overusing the phrase 'I don't want to'. However sometimes 'I don't want to' needs to be replaced with 'I CAN'T'! Learning that sometimes I have to say 'I can't do this' has been one of the hardest things I have to do. I have to fight the feeling that I'm letting people down. I need to realize that saying 'I can't' is the safest thing for me to do. SUPPORT US NOW. See below for how.
