Episode 146 | Working with the United Nations in Unfamiliar Circumstances with Julia Shelley

This episode is brought to you by: GRUBBED https://grubbed.com  Over the last 10 years @juliashelley flew for the United Nations missions all over Africa and the middle-east (living in many warzones to do this). She did over 30 deployments “tours”.   At the same time (on her time off) she competed as a Pro Fitness model. Although what makes her super different is that every prep for every show was done in a different warzone with limited gyms, equipment, no supplements unless brought from Canada, and limited food choices. Anywhere from Afghanistan to Darfur, Sudan.   Finally after years of getting used to this life and growing a pretty thick skin, Julia broke after 26 weeks of quarantine in a year. Half of that was straight in an Ethiopian hotel room by herself with an armed guard in the hallway and alarms on the door.   This is when all those years of war unravelled and she ended up taking the next 8 months, seeing a psychologist for the first time in her life, diagnosed with PTSD (that to her looked like anxiety attacks, hives and insomnia).
