In this first part of a two-part interview, Mint delves into a candid conversation with her friend Julia Christine about her career journey. Julia had secured a job in New York City that many would envy for its apparent fun factor. Over the years, she climbed the ranks, but she began to realize that what was once enjoyable for others had lost its luster for her.

Julia found herself at nearly 300 pounds, grappling with suicidal thoughts, and using work as a coping mechanism to avoid confronting her own issues. This introspective discussion sheds light on the toll that pursuing a seemingly desirable career can take on one's mental and physical health, and the importance of recognizing when a change is needed. Stay tuned for Part 2, where Mint and Julia continue their conversation about Julia's journey towards finding fulfillment and wellness.

Julia Christine is the host of the Life After Breath podcast where she uses a morning breath practice as the entryway into discovering an awareness of ourselves and a connection to Source Energy, so that we can move into complete wellness and live the life of our dreams. She is passionate about breaking down the societal and generational structures and narratives that keep us stuck, and takes an approach of curiosity and exploration... without judgement. Julia is an Intuitive Healer and uses her intuition and Spiritual Gifts to heal and remove stagnant energy and help her clients connect to their inner being and Source Energy while providing guidance and direction towards their own inner compass.
