Download the DiveThru App: https://go.onelink.me/5wa8/dropinwithdrj This mental health podcast starts like most superhero franchises: with an origin story. Justin shares what motivated him to become a psychologist, and how he had to be talked into trying TikTok… where he now has more than half-a-million followers. Jeez, hope he at least bought that friend dinner… Because it’s a special episode, you get TWO origin stories for the price of one! Justin is joined by DiveThru founder Sophie Gray. Sophie shares how she struggled to cope with being bullied as a child, turning to self-harm and becoming a fitspo influencer.
