Julia Grace on how to cope with 'wobbly days'

Nine To Noon - A podcast by RNZ

Julia Grace was just four years old when she embarked on her performing career, by belting out 'Send in the Clowns' at a big birthday celebration. As she writes, there was little sign - even while singing what many consider to be a sad song - that she'd end up dealing with depression. Julia went on to have a successful music career, both with electronica band Elevator in the early 2000s and later as a solo artist, winning a New Zealand Music Award in 2006 for Best Gospel/Christian Album. She also found another voice, as a professional mental health speaker and has now compiled what she's learned into a new book, 'Be Kind to Your Mind'.
