706: Julia Belt on Navigating Mental Health Struggles & Creating Mental Wellness
Julia is a mental health advocate, speaker, and 2x founder of companies that bring unique mental health solutions to market. Currently, she is the CEO and co-founder of Mindly, a mental health tech company. Mindly is the leader in delivering digital in-the-moment evidence-based supports for youth, based on Single Session Therapy. Julia's first company, BroglieBox, was born out of a personal tragedy—the loss of her brother to suicide in 2014. This deeply impactful experience inspired her to become a vocal champion for mental health awareness and support, and prompted her to leave her corporate job as a technical sales executive to embark on entrepreneurship. BroglieBox curates and sends mental wellness care packages to hundreds of thousands around the globe. After the loss of Julia's brother and her own journey with mental health, she was inspired to imagine a new way to deliver support and connection in this fast paced, often impersonal world. BroglieBox is mental wellness, delivered to your doorstep. Boxes & kits are curated with tools and resources for mental health in a way that feels warm, lighthearted, and fun.
