Thriving, Not Just Surviving | Psychotherapist Julia Resnick

About this episode

Julia Resnick discusses mental health, holistic wellness, and the impact of technology on our lives.

Elevator 218: Julia Resnick is a Pyschotherapist at Be You Psychotherapy who specializes in anxiety, OCD, and chronic illness. She brands herself on a "lived-in approach," turning her personal challenges with arthritis and Crohn's disease into a higher level of empathy and purpose for her clients. In this podcast: We discuss holistic wellness in 2026 and the trap of "over-optimizing" our lives through wearable tech and rigid routines. Julia breaks down why flexibility is the ultimate mental health "cheat code," the rise of "reassurance seeking" through AI, and the truth behind the loneliness epidemic facing young men today. From "anchor habits" like sleep to the simple joy of eating a New York bagel again, this conversation is a reminder that mental fortitude isn't about being perfect, it’s about being consistent even when you're only at 60%.
