Episode 28 featuring Julia Sloane: Beyond the Housewives – Identity, Inclusion & the Power of Being Real
In this courageous and thought-provoking episode of Uncovering Authenticity, I sit down with Julia Sloane—published children’s author, former lawyer, mother, and cast member of The Real Housewives of Auckland—for a raw and honest conversation about labels, legacy, and living authentically.
From the harsh spotlight of reality TV to reclaiming her voice through storytelling and documentary work, Julia opens up about the emotional journey of being publicly misunderstood and privately transformed.
Together, we explore:
📺 What really happens behind the scenes of reality TV—and the hidden cost of public perception
🧠 The emotional and psychological aftermath of being portrayed as a character rather than a person📖 Julia’s deeply personal documentary on sexuality, inclusion, and what it taught her about judgment and understanding
👨👩👧 Her heartfelt conversations with her conservative parents—and the cultural shifts redefining what’s “normal”
💬 Why kindness, courage, and staying true to yourself are the most radical things you can do
One unforgettable takeaway?
“Be yourself. Be kind. Follow your passion—and you can’t fail.”
If you’ve ever struggled with the weight of labels, the sting of judgment, or the challenge of showing up as your full self, this episode is a must-listen. Julia reminds us that authenticity isn’t just about being seen—it’s about being understood.
