Dr. Julia Garcia

About the Author

Dr. Julia Garcia is a psychologist, author, and renowned speaker dedicated to helping people move from feeling powerless to empowered through the science of mental health habits. For nearly two decades, she has worked with educators, students, business leaders, and individuals facing life’s toughest moments—helping them break through fear, doubt, and hopelessness to build lasting habits of healing and hope.

Dr. Garcia weaves real, lived experiences with behavioral science to create practical, transformative strategies for lasting change. Whether on the TEDx stage, leading interactive workshops, hosting her live-audience podcast The Journey with Dr. J—a talk-show-style experience blending conversation, poetry, and real-time interaction—or inside The 5 Habits of Hope, her mission remains the same: to prove that hope isn’t just something you feel—it’s something you practice, one habit at a time.
