120: Navigating depression, food struggles and anxiety: Julie Goodwin's journey to healing

No Wellness Wankery

On this week's episode, Julie Goodwin, the first-ever winner of MasterChef Australia, bravely shares her personal journey through depression, anxiety, addiction, and trauma.

Julie’s candid revelations from her new memoir, "Your Time Starts Now," offer a raw and honest look at her struggles and the healing power of vulnerability.

Learn how writing and promoting her book took Julie on an emotional journey and how she found unexpected solace in connecting with readers who had similar experiences.

Reflecting on growing up in a household where diet culture influenced every meal, Julie discusses the impact of 80s dieting trends, how they shaped her food habits, and her efforts to foster a healthier approach for her children.

Our conversation also explores evolving relationships with alcohol and the moment of clarity when it no longer served its purpose.

But what does it take to heal from trauma and addiction truly? Tune in to find out.
