Soccer Mom Sunday: Julie Gary

We’re talking Mental Health Awareness and more on Soccer Mom Sunday! Jen Siess was joined by Julie Gary - a former Air Defense Artillery Officer with the US Army, Professor at Washington University, Bureau Chief of Behavioral Health at the City of St. Louis Department of Health - AND, in her spare time, she’s also a SOCCER MOM of her daughter, Jordan, who is a St. Louis University Women’s Soccer Billiken! In this episode, we chatted about parenting that long journey from the days on youth soccer fields to D1 collegiate play, and the immense pressure on athletes today. Julie also shared her family’s unique way of supporting each other emotionally, and shared information on an important mental health resource for all of us, from parents to kids.
