I'm so excited about, you know, discussing this positive way, opening up, showing people how you can stand tall, you can and you can lead. So Juliette, welcome to Free Your Mind. Are you there? I am here. Thank you for that awesome, awesome introduction, Lady. Yes, I'm so excited. I'm happy that we're finally getting to do this. I know we've had pretty busy schedules, but there's no time like the present, so let's, let's do it. Let's go for it. Let's go for it. So Juliette, you are— for the listeners, I'd like to open up. We've just explained who you are. I'm going to take them on the journey where we free your mind, open up to any anxieties or issues that may be there, that people who are listening can see with someone with such strength, even that person, you know, has emotive reactors and through life has it always been this easy. So can we take us back to where you was born? Tell us a little bit about, you know, early childhood, where you was born, how it was to be— did you live in England, did you live in America? Because I do sense the tone of an American dialect there. Yes, so I am truly what you call an international person. I was actually born in West Africa and had a wonderful, wonderful childhood. A family of 8 children, and of course my parents, and they were both professionals. My father was in the legal profession, my mother was a teacher, so education was very, very, very, very important in my family. And, you know, so in the Nigerian family, which is where we're originally from, if you— there's a joke that says if you're not 3 of these professions, then you're a disgrace to the family. So it's either a lawyer, doctor, engineer. Anything else, it's a disgrace to the family. So that's a joke, it's a running joke. So education was pushed really, really forcefully in, in my family, as most families where we come from. And so I, uh, that same drive is what brought me to the United Kingdom to further my education. So I studied law here in the UK, um, ended up loving the UK so much and I stayed. So, and so after I studied, while studying actually, I met my husband who's American. He was working here, he was stationed here in the United Kingdom, um, as part of the U.S. Air Force, uh, the U.S. government. And, and we met and dated transatlantic for 5 years. So that was quite interesting. And then when I finished studying law, he came back here and we had a wedding. We got married in the presence of my family, and I moved to the United States. That was almost 30 years ago. So circle back, almost 30 years, I've returned back to the UK, which is— UK has a special place in my heart. And my daughter having chosen to go to school here in the UK, and she's currently enrolled in one of the universities here. And so I decided it probably was a good time to head back to the UK and recreate my presence here. And so that's what I'm doing here, and it's been such a pleasure coming back and trying to get back in the system again and reforge my relationships. And I've met so many wonderful people, including you, LKJ. You are such a trailblazer. You are such an awesome, awesome journalist and just a good human being, and I'm so glad that we met through Global Woman. So yeah, that's a little bit of a nutshell about me. I'll let you chime in a little bit, Lady, and of course I have a lot more to share, but I'll let you chime in for a minute. Yes. Thank you, Juliette. For the listeners that are listening to the show, it's very upbeat and a very powerful one because, as I said, Juliette is a powerhouse in who she is because her strength coming from her family that's saying you had to be 3 things otherwise you was a failure to the family. So she's always had this strength within her to succeed, but Obviously believes in God and the Lord himself and guides her through and judging, you know, character, etc., through that, where she met her husband Jesse. Is it Jesse? Jesse Morrison, yes. Yes, Jesse. And you have a wonderful daughter that is training in the UK at the moment and taking sitting exams to be a medical journalist. And like for us with journalism, There's so many strings to the bow of a journalist in directions that you can go and write in there. And, you know, for me, I absolutely adore that. Now, for this wonderful lady that we have, this panel, you actually travelled, didn't you, across, living in America, travelled over here so that your daughter could study. Is that correct? She wanted to go to uni here. Yes, absolutely. So from the time she was a baby, I'd always brought her to England at least twice, maybe sometimes 3 times a year. She spent most summers here, so she actually got very, very used to the United Kingdom and just happened to love it. And so when she graduated, um, high school, she did apply to some universities in the States universities, but then she also applied here. And so as fate would have it, as fate would have it, one of the universities in England responded before everybody else, and that's actually my alma mater, the university that I went to. And she accepted, and the rest is history. So she's here now and she's having a great time. She loves it. She has actually decided that she's going to stay on for a bit. She does want to further her studies. And become a doctor, but she does, as a lady indicated, medical journalism is something that's very interesting to her. And there are a lot of doctors that I know that actually after practicing for a while, they decide to become medical journalists. And it's so exciting. And if you know Sanjay Gupta, he's a very famous doctor in the US. He is a medical journalist with CNN. So, um, and that was one of the things that my daughter saw, and that sort of piqued her interest when she saw what he does. But yes, so that's the, uh, that's the story of my daughter being here. So I thought, yes, it would probably be a good time to make that, um, that shift, pivot a little bit, and come back to the US so I can be here to support her and also connect with my family, my siblings, my mother. I have a very elderly mother And so it's been really, really great having the time to spend with her in her sunset years because you never know how much longer you have them when they're that old. So it's been really fulfilling, and I'm just really excited to see what the future has in store here while I'm here in the US. Lady? Yes, because when you do have that distance, you know, it's nice to come back and We're so busy in our lives, you know, building. And what— well, I mean, for yourself in America, huge, huge resume there, Juliette, you know, and leading and so powerful in that. That actually, with your husband, shows your family values. For anybody that's listening to Juliette, who is strong, powerful in her way, in her mindset, her skill set, but also her love set and her family set, that I look, you know, in the four quarters. And through that, you know, your husband staying in America while you come on to see your daughter go to university here, was that something that your daughter wanted you to do, or was it something that you insisted that would happen for her to come abroad? Because some parents, you know, obviously, you know, leaving America and coming to university here, it's different than going to Yale or something, or Harvard in America, and the distance, but flying across to the UK. Or did you see it as an opportunity to be close by, hold the invisible hand, help her mentally through the difficulty, allowing space, but at the same time connecting with your family during this time? Right, so Lady, you definitely hit the nail on the head. It's all of the above. It's to support her and also to the opportunities to just reconnect and be closer to my family. And so when the opportunity presented itself, I'd actually, truth be told, I'd been toying with this idea for a very long time, coming back to the UK. As I said, UK holds a very special place in my my heart, and I'd always known one way or the other that I was going to end up back here. I just didn't know when. It has always been a conversation in my relationship, um, that, you know, one day I'm going to come back to the US, to the UK. And so with my daughter deciding to go to university here, I think that was just the perfect opportunity. And so, um, as I said earlier, it's given me the chance to kill many birds with one stone, reconnect with my siblings, my mother, who's quite elderly at the moment, and at the same time be here in support of my daughter. So yes, so by doing that, you know, we've seen the resume where you are— so you gave up your own career to put your daughter first to come over, but you have, uh, I believe now you're a company director over here. During this time you found that passion and that drive yourself, you know, for running a business, you know, you know, for speaking, encouraging the sales, everything like that. You're still in there because although you have your family coming across, your daughter in education, that you found there was much to do that you started looking on. I read that you were doing a PhD. Yes, so You know, I've been in business now on my own. I actually walked away from a very lucrative position in a law firm, and I did that for a number of years just before I had my daughter. So when I had her, I knew that I couldn't work like that anymore, and I had to make some changes. So I decided to strike out on my own, and I started my own company, my own real estate title company, which is the same as a conveyancing company. Um, that will be the equivalent here in the UK. So I started that LLC company, like we have, right? LLC house, right? So it's an LLC. English listeners, from that, you know, it's the same formula of an LLC, uh, which is limited liability company in the States. Well, we've got a limited company here, so that's not sole trading, it's me protecting a company. Exactly, yes, exactly. So I started an LLC and I did that for quite a number of years, were extremely successful, and I managed over $100 million annually in real estate assets, right? So as you know, the way conveyancing works, you have, uh, what you call building societies here, we call them just lenders in the States. They, they finance the purchase of the home. But while you're— all this title searches and everything's being prepared, the money has to be housed somewhere, right? And that's what we call an escrow account. So we would house that money. And for you to be able to, to be eligible to be a trustee, I mean, you go through some stringent background checks, like real stringent. They go back many, many years to make sure that you can be trusted and that you're responsible enough to manage that level of funds. So I scaled through that, that, that investigation, that, that, that, um, whatever you have to go through, passed it, started the company, very, very successful. And then the real estate market tanked without any warning, right? So all that sort of got swept away overnight. And so I found myself like, okay, so what's going to happen now? And those of you, you may remember, um, the UK— US was, was hit really badly, and a lot of people lost their homes. We lost a lot of equity in our home, um, people had more— had multiple properties, lost them. I mean, people lost their wealth in that financial meltdown. And so it was time then to for me to reinvent myself. So I decided to do something that I was also very passionate about, which was education. I had considered perhaps teaching law somewhere or at a university, and I decided to get my master's in law to prepare me for that. And yet when I finished that, I thought, okay, you know what, I still love being my own boss. So I decided to buy a an education franchise. So I purchased that and started to grow the business, and it grew very rapidly, and to where we were servicing about 100 families in the DC metro area. So that was very, very successful, and that kept me extremely busy. And then when I decided to come to the UK to relocate and support my daughter and really get close to my family, I handed that business over to somebody else, um, who went ahead and took it over. And so while I'm here in the UK, I actually considered probably purchasing some other franchise. But what I decided to do in the meantime is to take all those 18 or 19 years of, um, great business skills to help other people who are looking to go into business and just don't know how. So I've become a coach, a business coach, and then in addition to a business consultant and also a change management professional, I've decided to, to put all that together to help other people, particularly women who are looking, they're searching, they know that about— they have grown what they're currently doing and they want somebody to hold their hands and show them how to do it. So this is what I'm doing currently. And of course, as you mentioned earlier, I opportunity that was presented to me to be a UK ambassador for the leadership experience tour with Sean Fair of Fair Consulting, and I'm so excited about that, and I'm looking forward to what we can do to bridge the gap between the UK and the US and really create something magical here in the UK. So, ladies, Yes, um, as I say, with that bridging the gap between the UK, phenomenal. And I must say, for the viewers and listeners of this show, when you hear this show, Juliette and I will be coming back from that leadership tour, myself as the European Union ambassador for it, and the wonderful Juliette as UK Ambassador, and I shall be speaking on stage and opening up on the first speaker on there, getting ready to empower, engage, interact. And as we do the radio, it's all about encouraging people, all about our voice, all about that meaning that we are worth something, as Juliette very much is of the same mindset with that. And as you were saying, you know, with this leadership, like with Global Women, you was a huge, huge participant in that. And that's where I, as I first met you, Juliette, was in that, you know, the encouragement, the empowerment you gave to Global Women. You're always helping, you know, obviously the CEO, etc., to see the good and the great of that. And as you said, if it wasn't for Global Women, we wouldn't have met. Which I'm so grateful for on that subject. But moving on, so with the tour, so you can just explain the Sean Fair leadership tour. It's something that you're working very strongly on. You're part of the UK tour when he comes over here, and he's over about 3 or 4 times this year. And lots of people have been looking at the interest interested in that. Even myself, Abigail, um, contacted me to say, how do I get onto it? There's quite a lot of magic coming across for Sean Fair coming in, which obviously you explain and everything to do on that. And so can you just explain what you do if somebody in the— is listening? Uh, yes. So the Leadership Experience Tour is exactly what it is. It's a leadership tour. Sean Fair, who's the founder What he typically does, what he does, he birthed this business a number of years ago and has been hugely successful, is one of the most successful leadership organizations in the US. And so the, the right, his vision right now is to be able to take exactly this, this wonderful thing that he's built and share it with the world. And he's looking at you, at the UK, as the first of call. And so that's what we're here— Lady Kendall and I are very instrumental in that, and we're here to assist, to make sure that this is what— this is that we're taking that vision and really bringing it to life. Yeah, because we do have— we have the people here. There's been a great interest in this. And so what he typically does is train people to become— sorry, to become paid public speakers, right? So there are public speakers and there are public speakers. I do know a number of people who have gone through this program. I've watched their businesses grow exponentially, like literally overnight, because they have the Sean Fair touch, the leadership experience door. And so a friend of mine, a dear friend of mine, has been through this and she's doing wonderful things. She's a mental health advocate I've actually introduced her to you, Lady, because you guys have that advocacy in common. And I've watched her grow unbelievably since she started doing these tours. And as a matter of fact, the Leadership Experience Tour happens 3 times a year in the US. And my friend has been to— goes to them every time for the past 3 years. So that says a lot. You just don't get up. And go somewhere 3 times every year for the past 3 years. So clearly there is something special about this, and that's what we want to bring to the UK so that the, the people here in the UK can get some of this. And so, um, if you look at, if you look at Sean's track record, you will see that he's— he just doesn't talk the talk. He walks the walk. You could— you'll see, you see from the people that he's trained how they've gone from basically zero to hero. And I like that, I love that, by the way, um, Lady. And, and so you can see the track record, you can see his track record. And so this is what we're doing here, this is why I've become involved in this, and I'm definitely ready to give it my all. Um, one of my, my, my, um The, the, the things that I love to do is really bring people together and network, collaborate, and really show people how the power of collaboration and networking. And so that's what we're going to do. That's how we're going to take the leadership experience tour and really spread the word in the UK with you, of course, um, Lady Kendall. And I'm just so excited about that. Yes, it's an amazing tool, very exciting for people that are going in, you know, because it is that encouragement that when you stand on stage to empower and encourage and get the message across. And we have to get the message across to people, you know, when you're speaking and your voice matters, as I was saying, when you're reaching out to people how to better themselves in a way to be able to sell or to lead whichever aspect of that is participation of our vocal cords to express and the message clear out to everybody with engagement and to succeed once and for all. Because, you know, there are many anxieties People suffer with anxieties, you know, how can they get up on stage and speak in front of all these people? You know, the techniques that you can use to do that is always empowering. So yeah, but may I ask, have you always been a confident person, Juliette? Because you, you look very confident from your pictures, but rather me say, how would you are you confident all the time? Um, no, no, absolutely I'm not confident all the time. I do have confidence for sure, but there are times where just being human, that certain situations you find yourself in and you really have to talk yourself into, remind yourself who you are, like, wait a minute, I, I'm confident, I can do this. So I do a lot of positive self-talk, but in general I'd say yes, I'm confident, but there are areas as well, just like everybody else, where we're not very confident. And so it's just a matter of knowing, identifying when— what those areas are, making sure that you're working to better yourself in those areas. But, um, in terms of being fearless, right? So there is, uh, of course, of course, a difference between fearless and confidence— confident. Um, I, I can pretty much say that I am fearless, and I think I, I got that from being the youngest of 8 children. Yeah, well, so we were raised Catholic, and so large family, um, youngest of 8, and with 5 brothers and 2 sisters. So you don't grow up in an environment like that and, and be, um, sort of fearful all the time. You just develop that natural fearlessness because you had to fight through to make sure that, like, I'm heard, you know. I'm not gonna be— I'm not gonna be a wallflower. So So yes, so I've always been fearless, ready to try things out, and just really believe that whatever I say to myself, right, if I say that I can achieve it, I will work towards making it happen. So yes, but the confidence thing, absolutely, and I'm confident sometimes, and sometimes, you know, I'm not. You know, that's just the, the, the, um, uh, truth of the matter. We can't always be confident in every area of life. There are some areas that we need a bit of push and help help. And but in general, yes, I would say that I am confident with, with certain areas just needing help here and there in certain areas. Lady, yes. So with this confidence that you're doing, do you do any sort of— can you tell the listeners the name of your company, please, Julia? And if you're offering courses, or how people can get in touch with you if they wanted to connect with you? Right, so I have a company here in the UK that I just set up. It's called Leave It With Us, and the, the, the whole thing behind that name is I'm that bridge, right? So I bridge the gap between people. That's generally the way my mind works, one of the ways my mind works. So Leave It With Us is a company that I set up to do just that, say to people, you need. If you have something that you need to be done, you want to collaborate, you want to network, you want to better your business, you want, you want coaching, you can leave it with us. That's what we do, right? We help you get from point A to B. We help you solve your problems and, you know, whatever they are in line with what we do. So that's my company in the UK, and I do have a company in the US and which really operates more online. It's called the New Digital Concepts. The whole idea of that company when I set it up was to help people again with their coaching aspirations and also to create beautiful content that they can use for their business, the digital content that they can use to grow their business. So those are the two companies that I have. One in the US, New Digital Concepts, and then one here in the UK called Leave It With Us. Lady? Yes, exactly, because when you say Leave It With Us, um, what you're doing, um, again, um, because as I look at that and, you know, I was really getting in depth into how you were saying, like, Leave It With Us, it was like Well, you're saying you bridge the gap. So if somebody was having difficulties in an area that was not in your specialty, so bridging the gap and leave it to us, you would find that person to be able to work through with you to make them complete. Is that, you know, what I'm getting as well? Um, so sorry, can you rephrase that question? I want to make sure that I understand so I can, I can answer it Correct. Can you rephrase that? Yes, of course. What I'm saying is that, uh, leave it to us. So say for instance I came to you as corporate, coming to you, said, you know, I would like to meet, uh, Sean Fair and, you know, need some leaders in there, but I also would like another person to come along and do some transformational coaching. And if your company didn't have transformational coaching, you would locate that person and through your, your wave of your company. Is that something you do? Correct, correct. So, um, as I said earlier, collaboration is the new currency. We do have partners. We have partners that we work with. I have people that I can, as we say in America, Rolodex, people on my list. That I work with, that if somebody approached me with a particular request and it's not something that I'm equipped to do, yes, that's exactly what Leave It With Us is all about. And we will find somebody we can pair you with to take care of your— as long as you're in there within the coaching realm or anything like that, or you— whatever people doing the business in the business field, business ecosystem, we would find somebody that can help you. That's what it's all about, collaboration and making sure that you're also working with other people who have the skills and are ready to be able to help others. Yes, so that's what, that's part of what Living With Us, Living With Us does. Yeah, fantastic. And so, you know, with this, you know, going off, and so people come— can we have some social media angles, telephone numbers, etc., like, to make it easier as well while people are listening to the show? If you want to get in contact with Juliette to do this, and, you know, bring yourself— if you have any, any anxiety issues, so like anxiety issues, things like that, Juliette, you can deal with all that, right? So I don't— I'm not an anxiety coach or therapist or anything like that, but I do have people who do that. I partner with transformational coaches, therapists, and whoever. Yeah, we— I don't do that personally, but I can certainly make a connection there. Yes, but what I'm saying is, if like myself, you know, obviously to contact you and say, I've got a speaker that I want to come but needs to have a bit of transformation before doing that. We could come through you and then go through, start some transformational coaching, and then they'd be ready to go and work with Sean Fair. Perhaps that's where you go through leaving for us. But the question is, if you don't ask, you won't know. So So, you know, when you go to Leave It With Us, if you can't do it or something that you can't, you would obviously reach out and tell the people. But generally, you know, Leave It With Us does, you know, tick all the boxes that you require, even if you think that they won't. So can I ask you, Julia, if you could give some social media angles what you're on, please? Right. So my social media handles, my name is the same on all social media, whether it's LinkedIn, IG, Facebook. Um, I do have a TikTok handle, but TikTok is not something that I use that much. So, but you can find me on LinkedIn, um, IG, and Facebook very actively, and I'm @julietkmorrison on all of them. @julietkmorrison, very easy. Um, you can find me there, you can connect with me on those, um on those media. Yes. Oh, fantastic. That's great because I know there's someone listening who may want to do that. So we've gone through all this positive stuff, isn't there, Julia, which is great with Sean and going across with him. Where do you see yourself in the next 5 years? Great question, um, LKJ. I always love that question. Um, so My goal is obviously to take all this wonderful experience I've gathered under my belt in the last 18 to 19 years and use it to help others, because experience or skills that is not put to use is— might as well not exist. Yeah, so my goal is to be able to help within the next 5 years, to have helped over 200 women, and I'm being conservative with that number, but I'd say at least 200 women realize their dream of being their own boss, because it is not until you have that power, right, that you can be the boss of your life. So you've got to be able to know where to go, who to go to, the power players, and to be able to take that, that idea that you have that has been put in you for a reason, right? This is what I do. I'm that conduit that can help you take that idea and make it into something so you can realize your full potential. So this is what I do. This is, this is my, my goal, my part of my vision in the next 5 years, to be able to have empowered that many women, at least 200 women between now and the next 5 years, to, to be able to build their own legacy and use the gift, the skills, and the experience that they've acquired over the years. Listen, if you are a human being and you've lived on this earth for at least 18 years, you have intellectual property that you're walking around with that you can monetize. That— there's no question about that. Everyone has a special gift, everyone has some experience, everyone has skills that they can turn into money. And at the end of the day, I mean, it's not just about the money, but it's also about fulfilling that need fulfilling that purpose that God has put in you. So if, if that's you out there, you're listening to this and you need help doing that, you've heard my IG handles. Please connect with me and I can show you how to do that. I have the proven record. I've done it for the past 18 to 19 years, built incredible businesses, very successful, and I can show you how to do the same. Lady? Yes, completely. So we can show people how to do it. Now, when you were smaller, yes, as a teenager, obviously with your father and everything being very strong set, you know, the family values are going in on there. Do you think you have brought that same, you know, mindset into your own family life with you and Jesse? You know, like your daughter, or do you believe that you've had a very different life which should be more relaxed, or do you follow the same sort of path? Right, so, um, I've definitely had to work on that part of my personality to make sure that I'm not creating, um, a situation where I'm just rigid, right? So I, I learned I had to teach myself to relax a little bit and not make things so, um, because I only have the one daughter, and so I always brought her up to believe in herself and, and also to let her know that, look, nothing in this world— every problem has a solution, right? So don't get stressed out about much. And just know that whatever it is, whatever jam you find yourself in, there's always a solution. So I did relax things a little bit. It's not as rigid and not as mechanical, um, as our upbringing was, which was— I mean, it wasn't a bad upbringing, it was just, it was very structured in terms of what you were supposed to be, right? So you had something the profession that you were supposed to get into, and you were going to get into it and do it to the best of your ability. And so I chose to do it differently. I always said to my daughter, um, you can be whatever you want to be. And it just happened to be that we sent her to a school, a very small private school, where it just happened to be that most of the parents were, um, highly educated, and the focus was science. Right? It was— so she started to love science very, very early and had always been very clear that she wanted to end up in medical school to become a doctor. But even in all of that, I always said to her, you do not have to, right? Don't feel like there's pressure. If this is what you really want to do, I will support you 100%, but do not feel, um, that you— that is something that you must do. And because we do have— I have a brother who's a doctor, we have a number of lawyers in the family, so I didn't want her to look at all of that and feel pressure or have to, have to live up to those, um, expectations. So I have to— had to make sure that I made that very clear to her. And so, um, yeah, but she's chosen her path, and I've always said to her, this is the path you've chosen, I'll support you. And if you decide you ever want to change your mind, you have the flexibility to do that as well. So yes, I, I did set mine up a little bit differently. Yes, that's good, because you're not saying anything was wrong with everyone, but, um, for yourself, because you've mastered, but perhaps a slightly softer approach. And, or do you think that's where you have to go now because of the approach with the schooling and, you know, the pressure for children these days, that the platform was shifted since you were training? Absolutely, absolutely. And so the, um, the children that are— that we're raising today, they're just a different sort of different from how we were. And we just were told to get on with it, you know. And so this generation, you just, you just can't tell them to get on with it. They want answers, you know. They want answers. They want to know why. And so if it doesn't make sense to them, they're not going to buy into it. Whereas growing up in our generation, you don't— nobody explained anything. You got told this is what you need to do, you just got on with it. So different times, different expectations, and you just really have to tweak things a little bit. I don't think that the way that we were raised, um, would work for the generation that we're currently raising.. And so I've had to adjust mine, my parenting, um, to make sure that I'm, I'm with the times, right, and not back in the, in the old times. Yes, yes, lady. But you know, for yourself, um, it's still important to keep the history and legacy that you've had from predecessors, from that strength to get where you are today, to come out isn't it? You know, for passionate about that as well, and for your daughter. But, you know, we have to live in inequality and with diversity as much as possible to go through that. And obviously, you know, the stroke, as you're saying, three, three things to be, you know, your doctor, etc., in your family-wise, it's shame upon them. But you do give so much. You know. Have you ever yourself suffered of any mental health anxieties? Right, so I think when you talk about mental health anxiety, I mean, this is a topic that I'm so passionate about because it's just not talked about that much. And then also my culture, as I said, you were just taught to get on with it. You just didn't discuss things, it didn't exist. And so, um, in the United States, in the UK, the US is very much, um, a lot of the things I know about mental health I really learned in the US because there's a lot of information. Um, it's, it's not a topic that's shied away from. People talk about it, um, a lot. I think, I think England is definitely following suit. I think things are starting to open up here in England. People are having the conversation more now. And in fact, there was a time that I heard that in England, if you're in the medical profession, um, you weren't allowed to have any mental health issues. It's like it was a no-no, whereas in the US it was definitely encouraged to speak up about it, particularly in the medical profession where the pressures are so insurmountable. And doctors. There's a high suicide rate in terms of surgeons. So, so to not have a safe harbor and a safe haven where people talk about mental health, and particularly in high-powered positions, is just a mistake. Because, um, this is something that if it's talked about and it's quite treatable. People can overcome and do wonderful things in life. I've been extremely blessed. I mean, if you talk about the everyday anxieties, absolutely, we go through it every day. I mean, you have, you have exam anxiety, you have new job anxiety, you have moving anxiety, and there's so many different things. But of course, the thing is something that starts as a simple case of anxiety, if it's not handled, it can then snowball and become something bigger, right? And so I— exactly. So I've always been the type that's very conversational. I love dialogue. If something's bothering me, I talk about it. And I, and I'm, I'm, I'm— I feel blessed I guess that's how I'm wired because it's not something that's easy for a lot of people. A lot of people just don't know how to open up and talk. I will talk if there's somebody who's willing to listen, right? You've got to get it out. So I learned very, very early to just really be open about my struggles, whatever it is that I'm feeling that's really affecting me. I will talk about it. I will go to counseling if I need counseling. I will get counseling for my daughter if she needs counseling. I'm not a parent who buries her head in the sand. That's a mistake. So I've always been an advocate for that. Um, mental health is something that is very serious, right? It's extremely serious. And, and, and, but there's help. There is absolutely help. And so I've always, um, been of the, um, of the mindset that it starts with a simple conversation. A simple conversation. Because anxiety and depression is just people staying quiet and trying to deal with it on their own for too long. And what happens is the system can no longer sustain it, and then everything just goes haywire and out of control. But I think if we start having those conversations early, from the time that something becomes a problem, problem within us, we start talking about it, opening up. That is just such a freeing experience, as you can, as you Lady, you know, freeing your mind. It's absolutely— it's, it's a necessity. It's a necessity. And so yes, that's my take on that. And I've always, as I said, I, I can, I can honestly and proudly call myself a mental health advocate because I do know the power of getting help when someone— when people have mental health issues. I know the power And that is the thing, it is the having the power, having the strength to reach out and think, you know, I need to speak to somebody. And you know, we're in this period now where examinations are real again in the real life of what you take them, and the pressures upon themselves, you know, we're getting stressed out, daily life's been stressful. 'What you're doing.' And it is knowing that somebody's there. But when you've, you know, been touched— and most of us will all be touched with mental health illness, because we'll all be affected by grief. When you lose somebody you love, it's going to affect you. You know, different syndromes out there for us, you know, when we are struggling. But reaching out and having Friend, so important going forward. And as we were saying, like, with your business is like, you know, amazing. Um, and the strength, all them people, you know, that you helped in America, you're helping now. I know through Global Women you helped immensely, you know, supporting people, um, that were, um, going through their etc. And for the club that it stood for. But like for now, with Jean-Pierre going on with that, you're always turning the wheel. The wheel doesn't stop for Juliet Morrison. The wheel is always turning because you believe that, you know, the road is there until you reach that final destination, leaving a legacy of love, laughter, and and real insight to, you know, what it's like to be passionate and honest with integrity and showing your humanitarian side. And it is a pleasure to work alongside you and doing obviously this interview. The purpose of this interview is for people to get to know who Juliette is rather than a face, etc., that we see across Google. Google, search on company. It is nice by doing radio, and when you're coming on to say, this is me, I'm Juliette Morrison, because sometimes, you know, it can be very off-putting for some people. They look at your resume, they, oh God, I can't even speak to her, you know. Have you seen her resume? Oh my goodness. You're still a human being. You're still exactly the same. How we educate our brain. Brain is the difference, my apologies there. And somebody that is, you know, of such strength, but someone you can always rely on, you can always rely on Juliette. Juliette will always drop you some joke that absolutely has you in fits of laughter, or she'll have that little shuffle, you do that little shuffle as you walk, Juliette, I've seen you, it's like, mm, you know, it's really hard because you've got to see you do it and the way you just sit there, hmm. And I wish, you know, well, hopefully when you go with Mark, Stephen Poulet, you will be on his Brilliance TV show where people can actually see you because obviously we need to see the body language of somebody and how they operate. And on the business radio on there. So lots and lots of things you'll be hearing lots and lots about Juliet Morrison. And obviously for all those lovely racegoers, you were here at The wonderful Ascot, you're going to a couple of balls, you're going to, and the National Television Awards. And there is something else in the pipeline. Julia is an angel, but we can't disclose too much about that. But we are working, Julia is working on a new TV series to be coming to our screens, but obviously we can't talk about that there's an NTA on that at the moment. But you know, as we open up and get more. So yes, this wonderful person that is, you know, that leave it to us, it's quite simply leave it to us. And that's what she does, is an absolute joy and everything to be around. As we're closing down towards the show, we just got a little under 6 and and a half minutes left, unfortunately, to our listeners. I wonder what questions that you may have to ask Juliet Morrison. And I think, out of the interview, that one of them would be: Would you be more likely to stay in the UK than the USA after your daughter graduates? Great, great question. Actually, this is quite interesting. I was having a conversation with another beautiful, beautiful lady that I met through, um, Global Woman. We had this conversation about, um, how long I'm going to be here in the US— in the UK, and whether I'm going to go back to the US. And I said, you know what, I'm just going to let God decide. I'll let God be the one at the helm of that and navigate things. And so I'm not opposed to staying here permanently. I'm also not opposed to going back to the US at some point. So I'll just have to— it just have to depend on how things shake out. As I said, I'm somebody who chooses to have an open mind and see what the future has in store. So we just have to see what happens. Yes, because you know, when people ask you, put you on the spot, see how you do it. Because when we look at that question, would you be staying here in the USA? Because you can do both, because you're, you know, you have dual passport going across, you could quite easily do that. You are the new lady in the in the city. If anybody's seen the new commercial, Juliette with ourselves, I think we're very much like that, you know, we all meet and we get together and we have all these conversations and going in and always uplifting each other. So, you know, wherever you go, it's about taking the journey and bringing back that empowerment. So yes, going across those, you know, and with travel we can go anywhere, it can't be known, so it makes it easier and doing that, and as long as the love and that is spread there, and as I say, there is lots and lots going on with yourself, and I can't wait till we get further and we can spread the news about what's happening, but you know, it's really hard, but we have to keep that quiet, but yeah, very Very exciting, very exciting. This show, you know, life is good for you, Juliette, at the moment. You know what, lady, I can't complain. Um, last week was a little challenging because I was, I was fighting COVID, but I'm, I'm happy to announce that I feel a whole lot better. Um, but it got a little rough there for a second, but you know, of course, um, I was— I'm thankful I've come through it, and it's something that I think is going to happen to everyone. At some point, um, but also grateful that it's— and I caught it at a time when it's not as deadly as it was a couple of years ago. Um, yeah, but in general, life is good. I have no complaints, and I just keep working towards my goals, my vision, and how I want to impact the world around me. Um, and so I'm laser focused right now, and I'm just really going for it. So yes, yes, lady, that's, uh, that's what I'm doing. So I ask you, um, Juliette, um, for people and that are suffering from any form of mental health, menopause, suffering, and things that we all go through in general, what would be your message to, to the listeners as a leaving message to them? So my message would be Don't ever second-guess yourself. If you do second-guess yourself, don't stay in that zone for too long. Go for what you desire. And if you have a goal, don't be scared. It's only a goal. You just have to put a strategy in place And if you don't know how to do that, reach out to somebody like me. Reach out to Lady Kendall. There's help all around you, right? Give yourself the opportunity to shine and, and let the things that have been sown in you, let them be able to manifest, right? Positive affirmations, they are powerful. Every time I feel down, because I'm human, this is what happens. Positive affirmations, I chant them, complete mindset switch. So always remember, choose positivity. Don't spend time on negative thoughts or negative people. And know that your help may not come from where you expect it, it could come from somewhere else. So always have an open mind, collaborate as much as you can. I'm telling you, collaboration is the new currency. And having said that, Lady, my friend in the States that I talked about that has been to the Leadership Experience Tour quite a few times, she reached out yesterday. We had a conversation late last night. She wants to collaborate on an event here in England sometime this year. And so of course I looked at our calendar, Lady, and I thought, where can we fit this in? We have something going on in, in July, August, September, October. And of course, Lady, you and her have this in common: you're both mental— fierce mental health advocates. And she, and she called me yesterday and said, I would like us to do— to collaborate on something in England. I thought, oh, you wait till I tell Lady this, she's going to really be excited about this. Yes, actually I think it works quite well that we do have the month of November that we can put something because of Christmas and everything that's coming on with that pressure which causes immense mental health and yes, we'll discuss on with that. So yes, we can collaborate on that, we will be looking at that side. Mentioning Christmas already, the people will be like, gosh. But Juliette, thank you so much for coming on to Free Your Mind, Let's Talk About It, Val KJ, to express, you know, the power that you do have and the power of positivity and how with your company Leave It To Us and what you give to this world. So from everybody here at Free Your Mind, Let's Talk About It, thank you, Juliette, and Goodbye. Thank you so much, Lady, for having me. It's been a pleasure. I feel, I feel honored to have been given this opportunity to speak and talk about who I am, talk about my business. So thank you for, thank you for
