Interviewed by Winn Claybaugh, Dr. Basler proves to be a master storyteller. While her "doctor" title might lead people to believe this interview will be clinical and dry, Julie does not quote clinical case studies or textbooks. Instead, she shares her personal story of what it was like to "live with a mask." While Julie has always stood for helping others and fighting human suffrage, the personal cost to "do better, be more, and make it perfect" almost became too much. With heart (and even humor!), she shares her heartbreaking yet hopeful journey of reclaiming her sense of worth and learning to love herself. While there may always be a stigma attached to mental health struggles, this powerful interview promises to ease the sting and provide beautiful hope.
