Yes! Yendi is such an excellent listener and communicator. Also Juliet's story is so inspiring as it breaks the stigma of mental health that we all deal with from time to time on different levels.
*I was born in the 70s, so I can relate. But in all fairness, our parents were just a product of their environment; they didn't know any better--just working with the tools they were given. We're now in a new day/age where we now have the language & resources to convey these messages/love.*
I love how she accepted her experience and can “tek bad things mek joke”. I’m glad she’s healed and alive bc she’s such a good comedian. I feel like a lot of Jamaicans are internally damaged because of how we were raised and sometimes we don’t get help until it’s too late. You could be living a successful life and still struggle with depression so we have to be kind. Everyday we get a chance to make others life a little easier so do it. We all deserve peace and love and that’s what I pray for.
My dear Julie, the fact that u attempted 3 times and each time God orchestrated for someone to find you and save your life...girl you're here for a great purpose🙏🙌💃. You were saved for a purpose. Is long time Jamaica 🇯🇲 needed to get comfortable talking about mental health like we talk about the common cold. I hope this starts an even bigger movement where Jamaican men feel comfortable speaking up.
Such a wonderful interview. Juliet willingly opened up about her journey and healing process and that in and of itself was talk therapy. She was very frank throughout. Perhaps my best interview yet on this show!
The best interview yet, hands down! Julie was authentic, no watering down of anything which is lacking in our world today. I learned so much about mental illness and it touched home for me. Thanks Julie for giving us hope. All the very best on your journey. 💕
Yendi it is getting harder and harder to choose a favorite episode! Your choice of topics continue to raise the bar! You are so good at what you do! You have mastered the key interviewing skill of listening! Another stellar interview that resonates with a lot of us! Thank you❤️
Yes! For sure I thought the last interview was my favorite and then here she comes with this! 😩😭 it’s so good!! It’s definitely hard to choose a favorite.
This interview and the one with Lila Ike made me realise that mental health is now taking a front row in the conversations in Jamaica. I appreciate the honesty and transparency in these conversations.
As a teen, who often doesn’t know what “that feeling” is, it’s certainly good to hear someone like Julie who I find so much joy in, speak on the raw truth of mental health in the the Caribbean, specifically in the Jamaican household. There’s such a heavy stigma that needs to be erased to better our upcoming generations and prevent further trauma in our communities. Also, so incredible to learn about the person behind the laughter and the smiles. This was an impeccable interview. NOTEPAD FULL UP💓
Julie Julie !! Such an awesome personality. Great to meet the person behind the comedy and laughs. Love how you advocate for mental health issues which is something we need more in our society.
"Comparison is a form of idolatry". "I have to be ok with people not being ok with me". Thanks for being so candid and transparent Juliet! ❤🤗 Wishing you continued progress on your healing journey 🙏🏾
"The stigma of mental health is worse than the mental health itself." I hope as a people we get better at understanding and supporting people with mental illness. Julie, thanks for sharing your story! Recocery is a journey- so keep on this patheay. Hopefully with your story, this opens the door for more open conversations and open arms to those who need it. As a psychotherapist, I am really glad that she found therapy helpful, and I wish more people could really access this type of support!
Amazing interview! Yendi deserves her flowers for the work she’s doing. 💐This is why you cannot look at a person and think you know them. I would never have guessed that Julie went through the mental health struggles that she described. I loved her before but now I look at her completely differently. Continue being great. 👏🏾
I'm so relieved to hear someone using their platform to talk about mental health importance! Especially hearing and very successful woman in media say something that stick me in my heart. I know she was angry but it's too normal for people in JA to call people "mental". We need more people to help raise awareness. Thank you Julie! ❤❤. Call someone who can help you if you feel suicidal. Help someone!🙏🏾☺️☺️
I wish this was longer. I honestly didn't want this conversation to end. Julie I have the same family and seeing you survive and thrive in your success lets me know it is possible❤️
Love love love this episode Childhood trauma is so real and is so evident in the adult us if not dealt with. So much to digest, this is a MUST RE-WATCH, LIKE AND SHARE EPISODE. Thank you for being so open..I am thanking God for the healing, you pursing purpose, you finding and approving self. Many blessings ...
Eventhough this is a sad interview I admire the fact that she came out and talk so that we all can learn from her experience. While going high school I had a friend who used to cut herself and I was the only one whom she told and I was so devastated. My late mom was bedridden from I was 10 years old and that sent me in deep depression I was even having suicidal thoughts so I was hospitalized. To be honest I don't think am healed from my childhood experience because the least little stress I undergo the only solution is only to take my life. Am trying my best to get the necessary professional help I need.
Please I pray that in this past 8 months that you have stepped out in faith and sat with the counselors to keep your life together... I am sure there are people who need you forever
OMG who knew that Julie was affected by depression and suicidal thoughts. I clicked on this video so fast. I love Julie’s Instagram and TikTok’s. So happy to see this insight into her life. Wow what an inspirational story. Also highlighting how Jamaican parents deal with there children saying they are depressed. I suffer from depression too. Was nearly in tears at the end of this episode 🥹What beautiful amazing women you both are Julie and Yendi 🤎🖤🤎🇯🇲🇬🇧xx
Wooooooww! I am in awe. Juliet and I were classmates and friends in high school. This has evoked so many emotions in me! On one hand, I have so much empathy and compassion for Juliet but on the other, I am so so proud of her achievements and her prowess as a woman. Depression is real and one can only TRULY understand if one has experienced it. Been there! Love and blessings, Juliet. What an inspiration this show is! Thanks Yendi! Powerful women!
Love you Juliet I remember you from high school you were always some I admired. We all have struggles so glad you shared with us and believe me you are touching more lives than you know. Btw quiting your steady job to do content creation awesome 👍👍👍. Yendi thank you for this interview.
I really loved this deep conversation and how people and their environment can affect us all Whether positively or negatively. I want to wish Juliet success in all her endeavours.
Wow. Such a good interview. Mental health is no joke. Even as a child. I had no idea this was a struggle for Julie. I think parents of that generations didn't grow up expressing their feelings and everything is just brushed under the rug. Thanks for sharing your story @juliemango
This is such a powerful interview as I believe lots of Jamaicans are hurting in the same way and we as a people are so ill-equipped to deal with such things.
I'm a firm believer that we all have childhood trauma. Her parents sound like they haven't addressed their own childhood trauma. I'm glad Julie has found her way out of the dark places.
This is such a character she is so hilarious telling her story, you feel hopeless when you fail at life and fail at death,this is a story not for the faint hearted.....
Not living in Jamaica or being on Tik Tok I have no idea who this beautiful human being was. Watching this interview has made me more aware of mental health challenges. Once again Yendi you have done ✔️ it, this interview has topped them all ❤❤❤ All the best to you Miss Julie Mango 🥭 😊❤
I have watched her tiktok videos and have laughed so hard and love her spirit but watchin this video I have gained such admiration and respect for this amazing woman. Thank you so so so much for sharing your story. You have and will change this world.
Yendi this was suppose to be a serious interview but, you see that interviewee, "OLIVET AT LARGE", just had me in stiches. I loved her openness and straight talk, whether it was about her or someone else. She was born to be a comedian. I am so happy that our on time God turned on the light of wisdom and rescue in her life at the right time. I am also happy she is living her passion. through this interview and her Julie Mango self, she is and will continue to inspire and help other people going through similar issues and they will learn that they too are ENOUGH.
Outstanding interview!! 👏🏾 Another example of God using what the enemy meant for bad to turn around for good. Juliet, you have so much to offer the world and that’s why the enemy wanted to take you out early. You have no idea the impact this interview has had on me. Thank you both! 🙏🏾
Powerful in so many ways! So many shoots planted from the Julie Mango tree that have taken root through this conversation. I love Julie's sense of humour and how she delivers wisdom while she is being humorous. Once again Yendi you've taken us on an unexpected but profound journey. You have extracted such beauty from the ashes. Thank you to you both
Bless you dear! This conversation is so needed. Mental health is not something to be ashamed of and our country needs to embrace this fact! Big up Julie Mango, and thanks Yendi
Thank you for speaking your truth Julie Mango. By standing up and speaking out you my dearest QUEEN are the generational curse breaker for your entire family. THANK YOU Yendizzle for allowing such beautiful souls the opportunity of spreading so much LOVE UNIQUINESS AND LIGHT on this side of the plane(t)
I respect this interview because a lot of person are stigmatized once you are diagnosed with mental illness, loss my nephew to suicide one year ago he was bipolar
Just stumbled upon this wonderful, uplifting and enlightening interview-truly positive! Juliet, your experience did not happen by coincidence; you were the one chosen to deliver this message because he that sent you knew you would be brilliant in dispensing your duty; you have been perfect! I can only imagine the great multitude of people who have and continue to benefit from your story! A super big thank you to you both for such captivating discussion; enjoyed it thoroughly! Like it is said, God's grace is sufficient, be assured, YOU ARE ENOUGH 🙏
You are a special GIFT FROM GOD Julie, you were meant to be here. God was not ready for you yet, You are such an inspiration. Love to watch your videos , makes me laugh 😂 all the time. Thanks Yendi , always enjoy your program. Continuous Blessings 🙏🏾🙌🏾
Oh my gosh! This was such an amazing interview. Thank you Julie for being so open and honest. Your journey will save lives. Thank you Yendi for handling her story with such grace. Much love to you both.❤️
Thanks for sharing miss juliet aka julie mango. Yendi thank you for taking the time to interview your guests in a safe loving kindness space to share their individual experiences and journey through this life Cheers!
Yendi! This is the best interview by far. I was literally dying with laughter, Julie had me hollering...and I don't know how you compose yourself with all she said, even that regine' comment. I cried. Anyhow, such a beautiful soul. I am so elated that I realized she was extremely funny and gifted way before people started seeing her. Love you, Julie! Make sure you come to visit Canada when your skit is out! We shall be there. On the mental health disorder, as a Social Worker, I am so happy you were able to talk candidly about your disorder. I do hope that this will be the beginning of a change in the Jamaican culture. Kudos, Yendi! Kudos, Julie! Love you both.
What a beautiful soul. She is helping so many people today who now realize that they can be healed and be made whole. God kept her for a time like this so that she can encourage those who needs help.
I believe that God kept her alive for a reason, I was so inspired by this, was just about to get comfortable in my chair, then mi realize it's the end.
I'm literally sitting here, listening to Julie Mango and Its unreal, how much we have in common. I didn't actually attempt suicide, but I did admit myself to the Mental Hospital, because of my suicidal thoughts. And even though it was a nice Hospital, Inna Merica. They put me in a room, with a Psychotic chic, and I woke up to her, standing over my bed, talking all kinda nonsense. Wow.
Thank you Yendi and Juliet for this powerful and much needed conversation. Seeking help for your mental health is extremely important and i do believe the more we speak our truth the more normalized it will become. God bless you , this interview has changed someone’s life.
O.M.G ! WHAT A BEAUTIFUL INTERVIEW...JULIE MANGO🥭 GIRL YOU ARE SUCH AN INSPIRATION TO ALL OF US...I LOVE YOU SO MUCH MY SISTER , I'M HAPPY TO KNOW THAT YOU'RE DOING GREAT..THANK YOU FOR SHARING YOUR STORY I'M SURE IT WILL HELP MANY PERSON GOING THROUGH MENTAL HEALTH PROBLEM. GOD BLESS YOU ON YOUR JOURNEY....❤❤💛💚🌷⚘🌷🔥🔥🔥🔥 YENDI DEAR, AWESOMELY BEAUTIFUL INTERVIEW 👌🏾 KEEP THE FIFE BURNING🔥🔥🔥🔥💃💃💃 AWESOME👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾❤💚💛🌷⚘🌷
Most certainly had to watch this interview in bits and pieces. Very similar chain of events and to hear it from literally one of my favorite tik tok personalities. You never know. You literally never know
it’s like Me and Julie have had the same exact life. Nearly every experience she has had with mental health i have experienced. i have been on an intense healing journey to overcome my issues since 2020, and i am a completely new person mentally. She gives me so much hope that i can still succeed and gain back all the years i lost to being sad 🙏🏽
@8:20 I can’t tell you how many times I’ve gotten that same response. It came to a point where it plunged me deeper into depression and self hate because clearly something is wrong with me. I’m defective. I take it every day at a time but we as a people need to be more aware of neurological and mental health. We can’t just pray it away.
Thank you so much Yendi. I appreciate these interviews so much. You have chosen interviewees that we mainly see one side of in the media. But on your show, they are so relaxed and open. Their openness about mental health and allowing others to see that people battle life's challenges too, for others to be mindful of what they stay to others, and to look out for those in our corner
Loved this episode Yendi, mental health is a very serious thing in Jamaica. It's also so true it being said about the first diagnosis Jamaicans give you us that "yuh mad" not acknowledging that there are many phases of mental health.
Sending a virtual hug to both of these ladies. I am happy that we have come a far way as a people. Thank you Julie for sharing your journey I too have suffered and still suffer from mental health issues I dont have a therapist but I hope to find a good one soon so I can start my healing. Yendie and Simone are my favorite youtubers you remind us that we are all connected somehow and share similiar struggles. Thank you.
Juliet it seems we have the same Mother and family. I love the honesty and the jokes got me laughing so hard. Take care of yourself and I look forward to seeing your next opportunity. Bless up 💕🙏🏽
Wow, Shes so funny without even trying lmao. Julie has such an awesome personality. Keep going girl, you’re doing amazing. I’m so happy you are inviting more people on this platform that are shining more light on mental health. Love this Yendi
Excellent interview. I’m happy that Juliette aka Julie Mango, acknowledge and appreciate that something was wrong with her and seek help. Now she can be an advocate for mental health. I love what your doing @yendi…so different but real at the same time.
THIS!!! Sooo powerful! I am thankful that Juliet has found the strength to get help and be on the other side of her recovery and now being able to so strongly advocate for mental health awareness and persons speaking openly about it! God's continued blessings on your life girl!🙏🏾 Keep up the good work Yendi!
Wow...such enlightening story! Thank you Yendi for sharing the story of this beautiful soul. Julie your a light...Continue to grace us with your beautiful presence.
Oh Yendi, I absolutely love this episode. Looking at Julie mango and getting so much joy and laughter from her videos, who would have thought she had these issues. I'm so happy you reached out to her and so happy she decided to share her story. Mental health issues in Jamaica really goes unnoticed and ppl are afraid to admit these issues because of stigma. Thank you both so much for sharing. And Yendi, this is definitely your calling, you know the right questions to ask your guests which is so important for the show to have the impact that it does. Well done you both👏👏👏
As someone said, I wish this was longer. For someone who makes such light-hearted and relatable content, I was amazed at her story and her willingness to discuss her struggles. Her story will help a lot of young people like myself who are struggling, I hope it goes far and wide,especially here in Jamaica. Ratings Julie Mango!!!!!
I am in awe of how open and honest this episode was. The sad part about this is that most of us grew up with this type of parenting. And while they did their best parenting based on what they grew up seeing, it wasn't necessarily the best for us as children. They were harsh with their words, but in their mind they were making us " tough" for the world, and while that maybe true, they were equally breaking us down in other ways.
Well said however I do believe slavery had a lot of the negative / abuse our parents did to us as they didn’t know better . We need to break the cycle . I always tell my adult children if I could have done it over the only thing I would change is the approach of beating and the yelling but I would still use my Caribbean parenting way not this North American up bringing tall
