I Care About You

Welcome to I Care About You — I’m your host, Juliana J. Today we’re talking about something that hits deep in our relationships: expecting others to behave the way you would — to react with your level of kindness, compassion, patience, understanding, and support. We’re going to explore why this expectation causes pain, how releasing it actually frees you and helps relationships grow, and finally,...

This is an encore episode on why the small act of a genuine apology matters. It matters a lot! We are often afraid to say sorry because we feel it makes us weak, but actually, the opposite is true.

Today, I want to speak to what I sense is rising in our world — an inner wave, a collective awakening. I want to talk about “the empath” — what it means, why so many of us are waking up to this sensitivity now, and why I believe we are entering the Age of the Empath . If you’ve ever felt deeply: maybe you sense the feelings of others before they speak; maybe you absorb moods, energies, or vibes in...

Today I want to talk about something many of us struggle with: “failure.” Not the quiet kind we whisper about in the middle of the night, but the loud moments when things don’t go as planned — a creative project tanks, a relationship ends, a job doesn’t pan out, or a dream feels crushed. We often see these as signs that we’re broken, unworthy, or stuck. But what if — what if failure isn’t the end?...

Today we’re talking about a heavy but powerful theme: organizing your life around an old wound — what that looks like, how to notice it, and simple practices to begin reclaiming your life. I’ll share something very personal with you in this episode, and we’ll also do a short practice and journaling prompts together.  About Juliana J Please support the show and my work!  https://coff.ee/julianajbru...

In this episode, we’re going to explore a topic that touches nearly all of us: self-forgiveness. Why is it so difficult to forgive ourselves when we make mistakes, when we feel we’ve fallen short, when we’ve hurt someone or ourselves?

I’ve been sitting with something lately — an intuition download that kept nudging me: judgment isn’t just about others. It’s a mirror. A mirror to our own fears, insecurities, and hidden parts we’ve shoved away. Especially when it comes to those we love — parents, caregivers, people who shaped us. I share this not because I’ve cracked the code, but because I’m walking this journey with you. Becaus...

You think you are helping someone. You call it kindness, your moral duty, part of your spiritual path. You define yourself as a compassionate human, and you feel dedicated to spreading love in a world that seems to have lost its ability to care. You think you are doing the right thing, but are you? As we all know, helping people can be either draining or enriching. Helping can leave us feeling tir...
