Book Julia
Be Kind to Your Mind

Most mental health sessions leave people nodding along and then changing nothing. This one is different. Julia's flagship keynote uses science, story, and a moment of live music nobody sees coming to shift the way audiences think about mental wellbeing, and gives them practical tools they can use before they even get home.

Warm, witty, and grounded in real neuroscience. Available for conferences, corporate events, and education sectors. Standing ovations not guaranteed, but increasingly common.

  • A new language for mental health, simple and stigma-free
  • The RUM Principle: why mental wellness challenges make sense
  • SOBOB: what happens to a stressed-out brain and how to support it
  • The Wobbly Point: recognising the tipping point before it becomes a crisis
  • Jelly Buddy: building support before the wobbly day arrives
  • One action they can start before they get home

Heard from the room
