Julien is such a smart and open-minded person, it was an honor to hear her thoughts on religion. thank you for this beautiful interview, I wish the best for both of you!

    Really cool concept, great execution. Goes into quite a bit more depth than your run-of-the-mill music interview, and avoids the stereotypical questions. Julien's always a treat to watch/listen to because she's so insightful and honest, but this one in particular is really good because of how open and relaxed she is around you. Nice work!

    I’m an INFP with over a year of sobriety, I can relate to this so much. When I was going through treatment this was my favorite my favorite part. We did art therapy and it was basically hours of just shooting from the hip on canvases and talking about our feelings and what not. I saw a comment somewhere in here that summed it up well, painting freely with your hands and speaking freely. I would’ve loved to have Julien in my therapy classes, super insightful!

    Regarding the ideology of T-shirts… I want bought a T-shirt that said ‘stay strong’ right before I was due to have pretty major reconstructive foot surgery. Now it’s the first shirt that I grab when I’m having anxiety or panic attacks or ASD meltdowns because the texture doesn’t repulse me. So that worked out great.
