Julie Goodwin on the Conversation That Saved Her Life
This week, Ant is joined by fellow Dancing With The Stars alumni, Julie Goodwin. After winning the first season of MasterChef Australia, Julie catapulted into the spotlight. What followed were book deals, a radio show, cooking school and TV hosting opportunities. Julie was burning the candle at both ends 'and in the middle', leaving no time for self-care. As a result, Julie's mental health suffered and she reached breaking point. In this powerful conversation, she opens up about turning her life around to prioritise her health, family and friends first. This episode contains discussions of suicide and PTSD.
