Connecting With Myself | Week 2: The Black Line at the Bottom of the Pool
I’m turning fifty, and I’ve never had a best friend.
As a swimmer, the black line at the bottom of the pool was the one I talked to. This week I look at why I’ve spent my life watching from the stands. Moving to a new country and being left at the edge of the circle. Pushing too hard for friendship and ending up alone anyway. Feeling guilty for needing anything when every mom I know is struggling too. Sitting at the back of the room, letting people see what I know so they never had to see me.
And a question I can’t stop asking... am I introverted, or did I just learn to protect myself?
This week’s question: Are you quiet because that’s who you are... or because quiet was the safest place to be?
Ten weeks to go.
About the series
I’m turning fifty this year. And I’ve realized I spend so much time thinking about my life... that I forget to actually feel it.
Connecting With Myself is my countdown to 50. Every Sunday, I share a short audio story from my journey inward. Part journal, part lesson, part honest conversation with the voice in my head who asks the questions I’d rather not answer.
I’ve spent most of my life caring for everyone else. My kids. My clients. My family. This is the first time I’ve turned the attention toward me, to explore what I feel, what I need, and who I am underneath all the doing.
Some weeks will be funny. Some will be messy. A few might make me cry.
If you’ve been strong for everyone for a long time... or you’re stuck in your head and not sure how to come back to your body... you’re welcome to come along.
With warmth, Julie

Why Calm Feels Unfamiliar, Plus the Truth About Creatine
Every week I sit down with my dad, Dr. Dickson Thom, to answer the questions people are actually asking about their health.
This one starts with something I hear all the time. People who have lived in survival mode most of their lives finally start feeling good... and it doesn’t feel good. It feels flat, or blah, or even unsettling. Dr. Thom explains what’s happening in the body when calm is unfamiliar.
That led us into the second half of it. Most people reach for the tools when they feel awful and drop them the moment they feel okay. We talk about why the practice matters most when nothing is wrong.
We also get into creatine, which is suddenly being recommended to everyone and not just athletes. Who actually benefits, and who might want to wait.
Then we took two questions from viewers.
What can parents and teens do when they’re constantly in conflict with each other?
And what do you actually do in the moment when your body is in fight or flight?
Have a question you want answered? Leave it in the comments and we’ll take it on in an upcoming episode.

Viruses, Cholesterol, Blood Vessel Health & Asthma — What Your Body Is Actually Trying to Tell You
Spill the Tea with Dr. T | Viruses, Cholesterol, Blood Vessel Health & Asthma — What Your Body Is Actually Trying to Tell You
These are the questions people are sitting with in waiting rooms, typing into search bars at midnight, and not getting straight answers on.
In this episode of Spill the Tea with Dr. T, Julie brings your questions straight to her father Dr. Dickson Thom — and this one covers a lot of ground. Viruses. Cholesterol. Blood vessel health. Asthma. Four topics that get oversimplified constantly... and deserve a more honest conversation.
In this episode:
Viruses — how the body actually handles them and what biological medicine looks at that standard care often doesn't
Cholesterol — what that number is really telling you and why the conversation around it needs to change
Blood vessel health — what actually supports it and what's worth paying attention to beneath the surface
Asthma — what's happening underneath it as a nervous system and terrain response, not just a breathing problem
Why the body's symptoms in all four of these areas are signals worth understanding, not just managing
This is what it looks like when someone with over twenty years of clinical experience in biological medicine sits down and actually answers the question.
No scripts. No agenda. Just the conversation most people wish they could have with their own practitioner.
