Julia Fox EXCLUSIVE: ‘I Still Hear a Voice That Says I’m Nothing’ (The Real Story Behind Surviving Addiction, Life as a Sex Worker, and How Motherhood Saved Her)

In this episode of Jay Shetty's podcast "On Purpose," Julia Fox discusses her unconventional life journey, including her troubled childhood marked by parental conflict and feelings of unimportance, which led to her entering the sex industry as a dominatrix at 17. She shares how she compartmentalized her emotions and found empowerment in that work, as well as how she later struggled with drug addiction, particularly heroin, which she used as a coping mechanism. Fox credits the death of her best friend and her subsequent pregnancy with saving her life, leading her to sobriety and motherhood. She also touches on her acting career, her relationship with her mother, and her journey towards self-acceptance and finding purpose in helping others, emphasizing the importance of self-love, setting boundaries, and embracing one's authentic self.
