As a child Julie adored music and art, but her career began in youth work, including in a juvenile detention centre housing troubled boys and a toxic all-male staff. After her three sons were born, she and her husband started an IT business.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eThen came \u003ci\u003eMasterChef\u003c\/i\u003e - a record-breaking juggernaut of a show. The attention and opportunities that flowed from Julie's win were thrilling and overwhelming. She became a columnist for \u003ci\u003eAustralian Women's Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e, a presenter on \u003ci\u003eToday,\u003c\/i\u003e published numerous cookbooks and made appearances on many shows including facing off with snakes and alligators on \u003ci\u003eI'm A Celebrity ... Get Me Out of Here! \u003c\/i\u003eFor years she co-hosted an award-winning breakfast radio show, and she opened a thriving cooking school.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eIt was by all appearances, a successful, rewarding life. But under the surface relentless pressure from Julie's outer and inner worlds was taking its toll. Struggling with depression, anxiety and addiction, with bushfires blazing and lockdowns looming, Julie found herself hospitalised in a mental health unit.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eHer recovery, bumpy and circuitous, is an ongoing process that Julie tackles with tenacity. In this gloriously candid, deeply moving memoir, filled with beautiful food, astonishing people, humour and heart, Julie writes with brutal honesty about her struggles. We are brought into her story, into her unravelling and quest for healing as she seeks to resume a richly lived life.","brand":"Ships in 10 to 15 days","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46729867985054,"sku":"UBD-9781761620546","price":26.78,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0400\/9043\/5742\/files\/9781761620546.jpg?v=1776651488","url":"https:\/\/classicbargains.com.au\/products\/9781761620546","provider":"Classic Bargains Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
