Party Girl to PhD: Life Changing Stories
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.
Recorded live with a community audience, we dig into:
- Why admitting “I’m empty” can be the first real step toward healing.
- Choosing yourself — without apology — and how it changes your self-worth and relationships.
- Lessons on mental health, boundaries, and rebuilding after betrayal or loss.
- My own path from avoiding every feeling I had… to earning my PhD in psychology and building a life I didn’t think was possible.
These are voices that cut through the noise — raw, human, and rooted in lived experience. If you’re in a hard season, starting over, or just need proof you’re not the only one figuring it out, this episode is for you.
📗 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.
This isn’t about finding a destination.
It’s about showing up for the journey—messy, honest, and fully human.
Wherever you're at on your journey, keep going.. keep growing... and never lose hope.
