Welcome, friends, to the very first episode of Ask Dr. Julie Hanks podcast. I am so glad that you're here.

I am thrilled to be launching this podcast. It's been a dream of mine for a long time.

And let me tell you some background about how this came to be. I love talking with you. So I wanted to do a podcast that brings on real people with real problems and my hope is to provide real solutions.

So I love doing Q&As on Instagram

and some of you may follow me there on Instagram,

but I only have a few seconds, right?

So it's a shorter form Q&A there.

And so I wanted to create a space where we could have longer

conversations and go into more depth about the things that matter to you. So if you have

something on your mind or a topic that you would like to discuss on the podcast or just a

suggestion, email me, ask

at dr.julyhanks.com, d.R.juliehanks.com. And let me know what's on your mind. And I will put that

in the list of topics that we can cover and address in the podcast. So I hope you will subscribe to this

podcast and share it with as many people as you know who you think would benefit from it.

My promise to you is that in every episode, you will see something of yourself. You will hear something that will apply

to your life and you'll develop skills to improve your life. My mantra is prioritize your dreams,

revolutionize your family, and personalize your faith. And those are going to be

the three themes of this podcast, prioritizing your dreams, making sure that you prioritize, carve out

time, and expect your family to support you in your goals and dreams. You're just as important as they are.

So I want you to include yourself in your circle of care and then revolutionize your family.

We're going to talk a lot about boundaries and relationships.

We're going to talk about creating partnership in families.
