A Live, Interactive Experience with Dr. Julia Garcia, Psychologist and Author (HarperCollins)
In a world where everything feels filtered, fast, and fake, students need something real. This isn't another boring lecture. It's a live, raw, and interactive experience where students aren't talked at. They're seen, heard, and challenged to show up for themselves and each other.
Dr. Julia Garcia is a psychologist, TEDx speaker, and author of The 5 Habits of Hope from HarperCollins. She fuses spoken word, personal storytelling, and practical mental health tools into an unforgettable event that meets students right where they are and gives them a way forward.
We live in a digital culture that shapes how students see themselves, each other, and the world. Dr. Julia Garcia understands this landscape deeply. With experience building award-winning technology platforms and working on crisis suicide hotlines, she brings a rare combination of technical insight and frontline compassion to every event.
Her dynamic approach challenges students to recognize the strength in their own stories, to move beyond the highlight reels, and to engage with the raw, unfiltered reality of what it means to be human in a digital age. This isn't about disconnecting from technology; it's about reconnecting with purpose.
