THE LOVE ME, LOVE YOU PROJECT
‘Love me, Love you’ has been a mantra for Julie for many years as a reminder that we need to take care of ourselves, so we can be there for others. Focusing on our mental health is just as important as our physical health. It’s always been a mission to shed more light not only struggles she’s overcome over the years, but the many facets of mental health. With the platform she has built over the last several years, Julie knew she had the opportunity to bring her vision to life, share information, and create a safe community to discuss these hard topics.
The Love Me, Love You Project has turned into a passion project to bring more awareness to mental health topics through creativity and art. We firmly believe in spreading awareness about mental health while not promoting stigmas, and we aim to create an open and safe space for others to share their journey.
Social media posts focus on different monthly topics as well as inspirational quotes and IG Live “podcast” style series.
Events, collaborations, and donation-based fundraisers to bring light to various foundations and charities.
