The "I See You" Podcast...Helping Through Communication And Understanding

I first met Julie at a book fair last month. She and I were among the authors invited to speak to the children and their parents about writing. Like the other authors, we spread out our books, the different titles offering a literary choice for the guests.

Julie had a single title.

It became evident as the children and parents came in and interacted with us, that Julie's mission wasn't necessarily to sell books--it was to help people. She talked to the kids, asked them what they liked to do, what they liked to read. I noticed one of the signs she put up advertised her podcast, I See You. Podcasts seem to be the twenty-first century version of living in L.A. and writing a screenplay. Everyone seems to have one.

Some are good--some are not.

Since I love podcasts, I asked about hers. She explained a little what it was, what she was trying to do with it. I found it interesting. 

I gave it a shot.

I'm now a fan.

To give you an idea of what I See You is all about, the best way for me to explain it is this: therapy. Julie vows to make the world a better place by offering advise and by believing that honest communication can solve many of the problems in our modern society. The last couple of shows focused on pornography in marriage as told by people directly affected by it. It's brutal, honest, important, and similar to the other episodes I've heard.

I should say that the views are very LDS-centered. She and I share the same religion and those of us who are members of this particular church can relate to much of the topics and advice. But, don't let this hold you back if you're not part of this group. It's more about finding help, finding comfort, finding peace, than pushing any individual religion.

I would consider this a "self-help" podcast. I don't subscribe to many of those. I'm going to stick with this one. I find it admirable that people are still willing to put themselves out there, create content when they don't really have to--all in an effort to help others.
