S1E18 (Part 1 of 2): To Know What You Want, Ya Gotta Know Who You Are

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.
