About this listen

This one’s personal.

In this solo episode of Conversations with Juls, I’m stripping back the layers — no guest, no production, just me… and a question that’s been echoing for years:
Who am I without the applause?

For most of my life, I’ve been performing — on stage, in classrooms, in relationships, at work — and somewhere along the way, I confused applause with love, and attention with affirmation. When people stopped clapping, I thought I had failed. I thought I wasn’t enough without the feedback.

But what if the silence isn’t rejection… but an invitation?

In this episode, I get real about:

  • The identity crisis that happens when performance is all you know

  • The grief that creeps in when the spotlight fades

  • Why so many of us don’t know how to feel worthy without being needed

  • And the long, messy, beautiful journey of discovering yourself offstage

This isn’t just about art or the stage — this is about all the ways we hide behind who we think we’re supposed to be.

If you’ve ever felt lost when the noise died down…
If you’re learning to love the quiet, or you’re still scared of it…
You’re not alone. And this episode is for you.

💭 Press play. Take a deep breath. Let’s unpack it together.
