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 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.
*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.*
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.
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!
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❤️
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.
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.
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
"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!
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. 💕
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.
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.
Only Julie Mango can self disclose such painful life experiences and have you laughing and crying! So grateful to God for keeping her and the gift her has given her to bless others. Thank you Yendi for another powerful interview!
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.
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.
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💓
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.
Julie, you are absolutely correct about how mental illness is viewed in the US. I sought help in Jamaica and it made my mental illness worse. Worse I had people around me who all they knew was to ridicule and negatively criticize me. I can hardly remember a moment when I was told well done or something good. I had so many episodes in Jamaica yet help was unavailable. I had a few episodes in the US and instantly someone was available and thus my journey to healing has began. You can freely express yourself without being judged. And yes my mother can never remember saying things to me but I do remember Thank you Yendi and Julie
Yendi your Interviews have been like medication to the soul. They touch topics that we deem taboo. Julie Mango thank you for this, I know you have touched someone living thru a similar story and proving that the light may seem dim but it's not out! You are enough....
"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 🙏🏾
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. 👏🏾
This interview is one of my favorite to date. It was raw, real, and relatable. So many life nuggets to take away from. Julie is such a beautiful soul, I looked in her eyes for the majority of this interview, they are so beautiful. I loved it, this interview is the best I've watched so far. I'm so happy you chose to live Julie, you make the world a little brighter with you still being here.
Loved this! I’m all for the mental health talks happening esp. in my birth land. I didn’t get to grow up in Jamaica but from ALL of the things my parents have told me, the trauma runs deep. I can identify with Julie in the sense that her feelings of depression and low self esteem started young, and sometimes as a result of the familial, intergenerational trauma/burdens past onto us. There are two books called “It didn’t start with you” and “the body keeps the score” about how trauma is stored and past on through DNA. Healing ourselves is the privilege we have as this generation and hopefully we get to utilize every tool possible to achieve that goal!
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
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!!!!!
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.
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 ...
A wonderful and eye opening interview Yendi. In Jamaica you ever wonder why people who suffer mental illness never really get better. Is because it's one size fit all. I don't know if it is lack of resources. I know of a brilliant young man who suffer from mental illness but lack of proper help, he got worse and eventually died.
Why me and Juliet have the same family? The only difference is I'm 21 and still living with them. God knows how much this video gave me hope for the future. Thanks Julie, thanks Yendi 🌱
I had to watch the interview twice, so much highs and lows openly discussed. Juliet it's a beautiful thing to see you rise from your ashes.Nuff love. 😊
I love ❤️ how Juliette impersonate her parents especially her mom, hilarious. On a serious note I am glad Juliette went and got counseling. A lot of Jamaicans need Psychiatrist help and it's not recognized. Yendi great 👍 interview.
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
I had to watch this in parts, it hits too close to home. Especially because I know these people personally and grew up with them, and am aware of some of the incidents Julie cited. I am happy to see Julie coming into her own, as a child she had the prim and proper personality of her mom, but as Julie Mango, she has a similar personality to her dad, funny, musical, and know how to tell a good story. Well done Juliet I am so happy for you and the journey you are on.
Wow!! Word!! One of the best explanations I’ve ever heard for therapy!! Getting a new operating system!! God bless you both!! Sister your courage and the comfort with your journey now??! Shows the power and grace of God!! 💖👏🏼👏🏼🙌🙌🙌💖
Just watching this for the first time today on October 17, 2024. Thank you Julie for the testimony and thanks to yendi for the interview. I was healed of depression too. It was a journey, but, God is good. If he did it for Julie and i, he will do it for someone else too. Hold strong Julie and others who have been through it, to all those persons who are going through depression you will come out Victorious. Blessings.
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!🙏🏾☺️☺️
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!
Wow! You never know what people are going through. I remembered her from high school. We were not in the same year group but I remember her being well-known and well liked by both staff and students. In high school I was so introverted and I always wished I was like her and her friends, very extroverted, happy, well-known and well liked. It saddens me to know you were dealing with this secretly. I hope you are feeling much better and wish you all the very best in life ❤.
Great job as usual Yendi, creating a safe space for famous and well-known people to share their stories. This is one of my favorite interviews. I can relate to Julie with the difference in dealing with my mental health while living in Jamaica versus dealing with my mental health while living abroad.
Julie, you are an inspiration. Thank you for being so open and honest. Yendi your interviewing skills are admirable… I saw the connection with the choice of a car accident and the statement about why Julie should not choose acting at age 12. Unpacking generational mental hurts is so necessary 💙
Look pon Yendi hair !! Omg. Hey Julie Mango. I've started following your Instagram and you are a true comedian! Laugh so much I rewatch all the time. Favourite is the airport one! I've actually done that! Lmao
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 🥭 😊❤
This interview is everything. Jamaica needs to reach at a place where they take mental health serious. This stigma associated with mental health where they believe that people is mad when they seek counselling is the reason why people is afraid to seek help. Studying psychology and learning about the various mental illness is the best thing I have ever did. As Jamaican parents too, we traumatized our kids by equating love with pain. So we beat our kids and somehow convince them that this is love. So we grow up to believe love comes with pain. Hence the reason for some people staying in broken and abusive relationship. Therapy is also a good tool.
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.
One of the most inspiring interviews I've ever heard!!!!.... The entire Caribbean community should see it!!! To the two beautiful young ladies, the best of wishes in your future endeavors!!
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
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.
From my current experience therapy is so freeing, so empowering and one of the best things anyone could do for themselves first, and that refined/healing you spill into those around you no matter where you are in life. I knew I wasn't giving my fullest self and I couldn't figure out why so I decided to do it. BEST DECISION EVER 10/10 would recommend. Thank you Julie for choosing you & taking responsibility for your own life so we can experience your greatness. Thank you Yendi for this space and interview, well needed!
Julie... let me tell you girl.. this was such an inspiration. As a person who suffers from depression, I appreciate your truth and relate to you wholeheartedly... It is such pain to know that mental health is not dealt with in the appropriate way in our culture... I have chosen to keep myself at a distance, because, that is how I am coping these days.. Just tired of the burden of not being understood and having to explain to people who chose not to try to understand.. not looking sympathy... just dont want the drama ... Thank you Yendi... all the best. Blessings ladies
I have been waiting on Yendi to interview Juliette since forever, i knew there was an amazing story behind this adorable and humure filled lady and i am so happy i finally heard it. So proud of you Julieete love you baaaad🎉🎉❤
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.....
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.
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.
Yes, yes and yes!!! One of the most difficult journeys one will ever take on, the road to healing. Be it battling anxiety & depression to borderline personality disorder, it's never easy and a constant work in progress. Thank you Yendi for allowing Julie the space to share her story. An inspiration!❤❤👏👏
Thank you Yendi for having me!!! I was so comfortable talking with you. Love and blessings.
Thanks for sharing your story
I felt I could relate to every wors you were saying.God bless you.
Thanks for bringing light to the subject. Jamaica needs to have a day of "mental awareness day."
Could it be that Mommy overdo her apology that makes it too much (overwhelming)?
Key phrase: not in crisis mode anymore.
Thanks for being so open and honest.
Yendi, and Juliet, if you ever doubt your purpose, re-watch this interview. This one is over-the-top.
I concur!
FACTS .....I liked yendi before this interview ....I love and admire her style of journalism after this. Julie even moreso ...I re watched it twice
Saving lives, one interview at a time. Thank you Ladies!
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.
So true
Gotta watch this as I get bk home. From mi see Julie Imma watch
She's brutally honest, and I'm so in Awe. Me and har, have so much in common, its unreal.
❤️❤️❤️🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

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.

Very inspiring interview. When we share our experiences we help others.

Truth
Facts
Totally agree I can so relate
And that’s why it was so true and important when she said each generation gets better.
Facts Davis
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 it should! Long overdue
Sad but true
"I have to be okay with people not being okay with me" and " I am enough" .........this lines right there! Priceless moment!
"A word."👍
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!
Yends!!! You did it again.... what an interview... interesting, informative, entertaining. Love love love
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❤️
Mental illness runs in families. It skips generations. See my post above.
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.
You can tell she is healing...because of how she easily speaks about her episodes...
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.
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.

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
"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.

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. 💕
She is so brutally honest with her experience and quite the comedian yet the information she shares will resign-ate with many.
Juliet I salute you for speaking so openly about the mental challenges that you have faced 👑👑👑
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.
Yes we need to break the cycle .
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 cannot believe how transparent this conversation is. We all have levels of childhood trauma. This was great! 💕
"Comparison is a form of idolatry "...a whole sermon. I'm healing!. Thank for this one Yendi.
I am with you on this one. Truer words never have been spoken
Yes mi dear. I learnt that in devotion last week, so as soon as mi start doing it, I have to drape up miself
Only Julie Mango can self disclose such painful life experiences and have you laughing and crying! So grateful to God for keeping her and the gift her has given her to bless others. Thank you Yendi for another powerful interview!
😭😭this is therapy in itself. Thank you thank you so much
I swear I feel like I wanna cry. She speaks so casually about her suicide attempts. I'm so sorry she went through feeling like that.
This was uncomfortable in parts yet so inspiring..."Mental health illness is just like any other illness....get help" 💕
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.
So true!
I know... I stop because it's hard to choose
I totally agreee
This is perhaps the most vulnerable and fulfilling interview I've watched
Yendi is a real Oprah. Sensitive and sharp.
Yendi is herself.
My daughter is 12yrs old,and she's a subscriber to Julie channel,am glad you found yourself and jesus,continue to live my child,God bless you always
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.

To add to that I feeling it’s through the Caribbean as in St Kitts it’s the same and we tend to say he or she walking playing Grier head nah good

This was such a wonderful interview very inspiring
This is the best unscripted interview I have ever watch! Great job ladies. God bless you. Thank you.
I love this. You never know what someone is dealing with which is why it's so important to be kind. Congratulations on your healing journey Julie.

Hand down the best interview for me.Julie mango kept it 100%.She put a face to mental health like none other.Great interview Yendi👍
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. 👏🏾
Julie Mango - she does the best jamaican videos on social media, thank you for creating this space Yendi!!

This was a beautiful interview. Julie was so poignant while being hilarious. Her growth and comfort is inspiring
The interview I never knew I needed. Thanks Yendi! This was beyond amazing. Thanks Julie

I don't know if it is lack of resources. I know of a brilliant young man who suffer from mental illness but lack of proper help, he got worse and eventually died.
Amazing how taking responsibility for her mental health allowed her to unearth this beautiful gift that touches millions.
Why me and Juliet have the same family? The only difference is I'm 21 and still living with them. God knows how much this video gave me hope for the future. Thanks Julie, thanks Yendi 🌱
Julie your truth set many free. Thanks for sharing her story Yendi
I had to watch the interview twice, so much highs and lows openly discussed. Juliet it's a beautiful thing to see you rise from your ashes.Nuff love. 😊
This is therapy within itself! Needs a wider audience especially within the Jamaican/black community. Thank you Julie Mango & Yendi 🙌🏾
I love ❤️ how Juliette impersonate her parents especially her mom, hilarious. On a serious note I am glad Juliette went and got counseling. A lot of Jamaicans need Psychiatrist help and it's not recognized. Yendi great 👍 interview.
I’m not even finished watching but to how I can relate. I must say I appreciate this interview. Much respect to Julie for being so candid.
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
I had to watch this in parts, it hits too close to home. Especially because I know these people personally and grew up with them, and am aware of some of the incidents Julie cited. I am happy to see Julie coming into her own, as a child she had the prim and proper personality of her mom, but as Julie Mango, she has a similar personality to her dad, funny, musical, and know how to tell a good story. Well done Juliet I am so happy for you and the journey you are on.
Wow!! Word!! One of the best explanations I’ve ever heard for therapy!! Getting a new operating system!! God bless you both!! Sister your courage and the comfort with your journey now??! Shows the power and grace of God!! 💖👏🏼👏🏼🙌🙌🙌💖
Just watching this for the first time today on October 17, 2024. Thank you Julie for the testimony and thanks to yendi for the interview. I was healed of depression too. It was a journey, but, God is good. If he did it for Julie and i, he will do it for someone else too. Hold strong Julie and others who have been through it, to all those persons who are going through depression you will come out Victorious. Blessings.
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!🙏🏾☺️☺️
This interview is like a giver of life and many more. This is therapy to the soul. God bless you ladies.
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!
Wow! You never know what people are going through. I remembered her from high school. We were not in the same year group but I remember her being well-known and well liked by both staff and students. In high school I was so introverted and I always wished I was like her and her friends, very extroverted, happy, well-known and well liked. It saddens me to know you were dealing with this secretly. I hope you are feeling much better and wish you all the very best in life ❤.
Great job as usual Yendi, creating a safe space for famous and well-known people to share their stories. This is one of my favorite interviews. I can relate to Julie with the difference in dealing with my mental health while living in Jamaica versus dealing with my mental health while living abroad.
Julie, you are an inspiration. Thank you for being so open and honest. Yendi your interviewing skills are admirable… I saw the connection with the choice of a car accident and the statement about why Julie should not choose acting at age 12. Unpacking generational mental hurts is so necessary 💙
Look pon Yendi hair !! Omg. Hey Julie Mango. I've started following your Instagram and you are a true comedian! Laugh so much I rewatch all the time. Favourite is the airport one! I've actually done that! Lmao
Nah lie this woman is awesome in everyway.
Yendi keep on helping others by allowing them to express themself.
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 🥭 😊❤
Woooow..... great interview!!!
I learnt so much....
I laughed so much .....
I shed some tears 😭
This interview is everything. Jamaica needs to reach at a place where they take mental health serious. This stigma associated with mental health where they believe that people is mad when they seek counselling is the reason why people is afraid to seek help. Studying psychology and learning about the various mental illness is the best thing I have ever did. As Jamaican parents too, we traumatized our kids by equating love with pain. So we beat our kids and somehow convince them that this is love. So we grow up to believe love comes with pain. Hence the reason for some people staying in broken and abusive relationship. Therapy is also a good tool.
Amen
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.
One of the most inspiring interviews I've ever heard!!!!.... The entire Caribbean community should see it!!! To the two beautiful young ladies, the best of wishes in your future endeavors!!
This interview was everything I needed to hear today.
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
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.
Denise!! ❤️❤️
Congratulations on your progress Juliet and for sharing your story. The Lord is perfecting all that concerns you.
From my current experience therapy is so freeing, so empowering and one of the best things anyone could do for themselves first, and that refined/healing you spill into those around you no matter where you are in life. I knew I wasn't giving my fullest self and I couldn't figure out why so I decided to do it. BEST DECISION EVER 10/10 would recommend.
Thank you Julie for choosing you & taking responsibility for your own life so we can experience your greatness. Thank you Yendi for this space and interview, well needed!
Julie... let me tell you girl.. this was such an inspiration. As a person who suffers from depression, I appreciate your truth and relate to you wholeheartedly... It is such pain to know that mental health is not dealt with in the appropriate way in our culture... I have chosen to keep myself at a distance, because, that is how I am coping these days.. Just tired of the burden of not being understood and having to explain to people who chose not to try to understand.. not looking sympathy... just dont want the drama ... Thank you Yendi... all the best. Blessings ladies
To be honest, I am just realizing how beautiful this woman is…
Powerful authentic suggestions regarding steps to addressing the stigma to mental health by professionals and the population at large.
Julie thanks for all the laughter!!! I love you sooo much🥰🥰😍😍

Loved how she's honest and accepted her past and make tons of Laughter out of every bad situation .
This has been one of the best video I have watched on TH-cam. Blessings always to you Julie Mango. GOD is your healer.
Once again Yendi you eloquently shed light on Jamaican taboos while creating a safe space for your guests.
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.....
This was needed. EVERYONE NEEDS TO WATCH THIS 😭
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.

Every minute spent watching this interview was well spent. Thanks for sharing your story Juliette and thanks Yendi for having her on your show.
Powerful this just goes to show that u never really know someones story till u know
Thank you for this miss Julie. My 10 year old is going through what you described as your childhood depression. Im gonna have to get her a therapist
I have a 22 year old daughter and a 18 old daughter l don't know what to do how to deal with it
This was and will forever be a blessing for me. You basically was telling my story. Blessings to Yendi also
So true Julie, it’s the norm in the States for ppl/families to have a therapist.
What a wonderful interview, so open and honest.
All the best girl.
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.
Yes, yes and yes!!! One of the most difficult journeys one will ever take on, the road to healing. Be it battling anxiety & depression to borderline personality disorder, it's never easy and a constant work in progress. Thank you Yendi for allowing Julie the space to share her story. An inspiration!❤❤👏👏
