Today, we’re excited to share Julia’s appearance on another Lemonada Media series: Podcrushed. In this episode, Julia talks about standing up to a major studio that wanted to sue her as a young actress, how fighting breast cancer felt like surviving a shark attack in open waters, and why she stays open to life’s great mysteries.

Hosted by Penn Badgley, Nava Kavelin, and Sophie Ansari, Podcrushed explores the heartbreak, anxiety, and self-discovery of being a teenager. The stories are sometimes awkward, sometimes heartwarming, but always relatable.
