WELCOME TO MY PODCAST!

Sex, Drugs and Disability covers taboo topics that we often deal with or are curious about but rarely discuss. Julie Negrin is a 4x cancer survivor and unafraid to share her own deeply personal experiences. Through humor, storytelling and interviews with friends, Julie tries to make sense of the world as a newly disabled woman who may not have long to live.

Ep 6 Healing through Listening (Warning: sexual assault discussed)

October 02, 2018/ Julie Negrin

I talk with Jenn Tracy about HOW to discuss sexual assault in a way that helps us evolve and learn, rather than attack and blame.

I'm a nutritionist and author that used to teach kids how to cook. I was even on Sesame Street! Now I'm disabled from having four unrelated cancers: colon, ovarian, endometrial and melanoma - thanks to a genetic disorder called Lynch Syndrome. I lost my culinary career along with four organs so I'm living with my folks in Seattle and trying to figure out how to keep myself alive and who I am in this new chapter. WARNING: I will cry on camera and discuss poop and menopause. Stick around if you like raw honesty.
Much love, Jules      

I’ve also done a bunch of activist work to protect healthcare! Because of my work, Senator Murray gave me her golden tennis shoe award in 2018 and cory booker came too!

Packing up the car and see this gorgeous doe. 🦌 She is so comfortable that she doesn’t flinch when I put stuff in the cooler! I had to run inside and get my phone, that’s how long she hung out (I think she is still there but I just check out of my Airbnb). How beautiful is she?! What a magical weekend 💫 I feel so so sooooo lucky and grateful that it all went smoothly and I’m safe, and my body is ok and my mind is HAPPPPPPPYYYYYYH!!!

I MADE IT SAFELY TO THE OREGON COAST!!! 🌊🌲 Between the hot weather last week and my health issues since I went to CA in Feb - I haven’t traveled since then - I wasn’t sure I could make it down here. I get very nervous to leave my cocoon these days. But I need to get out!! It’s not good for mental health if I’m trapped at home too much. I need new scenery and cool conversations with lovely people! It’s as essential as food and medicine for me. So I’m happy to report that I’m ok so far!!!! Wahooo!!!! So gorgeous here. I can hear seals and frogs!!! #ocean #columbiariver #oregon #travel #travelphoto #travelphotography #traveller #travellove #spoonieescapes #spoonie #spoonielife #spoonielifehacks #happygirl #roadtrip #roadtrip🚗 #cancer #survivor #cancersurvivor #coloncancer #ovariancancer #lynchsyndrome #traveltherapy #mentalhealth #mentalhealth #mentalhealthmatters #mentalhealthawareness #mentalhealthrecovery 🤘🏼❤️
PROUD of myself. First time injections the multi-vitamins into my IV bag! Took a few tries because I need to get the hang of drawing out of two vials, and not getting air bubbles. It’s amazing how much we are expected to do at home when #chronicallyill !! Troopers, man, I admire the #medicallyfragile so much. #chronicillness #chronicillnessawareness #chronicillnesswarrior #chronicpain #disability #disabled #cancer #survivor #cancersurvivor #cancersurvivors #coloncancer #ovariancancer #lynchsyndrome #genetics #geneticcounseling get #genetictesting 🤘🏼
🦌 🦌 NOW THEY’RE WALKING UP TO MY WINDOW WHAT IS HAPPENING. They’ve come into the yard for years but have NEVER approached the window!!! They usually walk away if I move too much. Not this time! They first came up when the all black kitty was on the ledge (2nd photo), and I stood up to take the photos (when they usually wander off), but this time they kept staring right back at me. Long enough for the second kitty to approach the window (3rd photo) and he be like whaaaa? I can’t believe how long they sat there. So weird!!!! But totally fun! I’m glad I’m heading to nature this weekend. Will keep you posted if there are more animal visits!!! 🐖🦜🦓 #animalvisits #nature is knocking #naturelovers #nature_photo #animalcrossing #animals #animalvisitors #disabled #disability #spoonie #spooniewitch #spooniewarrior #spooniegirl #cancer #survivor #coloncancer #ovariancancer #lynchsyndrome #spring #hope #newchapter❓ #fingerscrossed 🤞
New podcast is up! Link in bio 💫 I share how therapy has helped me a lot and share a lot of personal struggles and also a few victories! Managing my mental health is not easy while barely being able to eat, having a lot of pain, and dealing with our messed up medical system. But mental health is ONE thing I have some control over, so I try and get my head in as good of place as possible. As the Buddhist saying goes: “pain is inevitable, suffering is optional.” The best thing that’s come out of becoming disabled at mid-life is learning how to become a healthier person in my MIND. I had the physical part down pat in my old life! Now I’m on a different journey and glad I can share ways that therapy has helped me. It’s not only ok to ask for help, IT IS A SIGN OF STRENGTH! 💪#mentalhealth #mentalhealthawareness #mentalhealthadvocate #mentalhealthmatters #mentalhealtips #mentalhealthrelief #recovery #therapy #mindset #mindfullness #therapyworks #grouptherapy #disabled #disability #chronicillness #chronicpain #cancer #survivor #lynchsyndrome 🤘🏼
I see rabbits quite often but I’ve never had one turn and look straight at me, especially long enough to capture a photo! I saw a deer on my last walk and she did the same thing. I’ve only been on TWO walks outside this year! They make me so happy but I have to make sure temperature won’t hurt this body. Ive never had animals turn and look at me like that. Felt like good signs, that’s all I know. Damn I could use some fucking good in my life. Time. #naturewalk #walk #walkers #healthy #naturephotography #nature #naturelovers #spoonie #spoonie #disabled #disability #chronicillness #chronicillnesswarrior #cancer #survivor #natureshots for #mentalhealth #mentalhealthawareness 🤘🏼
I ended up having a really lovely Sunday with some cutie pies!!! My sister is always very sweet about acknowledging me as an Auntie on Mothers Day which I really appreciate. It’s nice when they’re still young enough to get excited about telephone cords and sprinkles!!! Doesn’t last long... And I got to see the boys for dinner (they eat, I drink. I love their company!! #hotchocolate #date #cuties #happymothersday #happyauntiesday #shoutout to #nonmoms #auntiesrock #nieces #nephews #lovethem #makemyday #hugsandkisses 😘
The walls are painted!!! I feel such joy at the idea of welcoming people into this space!! It feels like the birth of something new, instead of me feeling trapped in the past.... It all happened so fast! Like something magical was happening. THIS PROJECT went from inception to execution in only ONE WEEK. I promise I’m telling the truth!! My friend was talking me down from mental breakdown at being trapped at home in the heat while so many play outside. She found painter she’d never met before, he got it all done in 3 days! THAT NEVER HAPPENS. It was hard pulling it off. But now it’s the fun part! I HATED those brown walls so much. I know it seems small in a life like mine, but this particular room (that houses the treadmill that helps keep me alive aka medicine for me) made me feel like a loser in my parents basement, a hamster on a wheel so many nights, I couldn’t take it anymore. If I’m trapped at home so much of the time, it’s really lovely that my friend donated painters for the cause that is Julie Negrin’s mental health. I love the woman who gave me this SO MUCH. She gets me so well!!!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️🤘🏼 #mentalhealth #mentalhealthsupport #mentalhealthmatters #mentalhealthawareness #disabled #homebound #stuckathome #cancer #cancersurvivor #Lynch syndrome #coloncancer #ovariancancer #spoonie #spoonielife #disability #disabledlife #whateverworks #newpaint #freshlook #newchapter #newbeginnings 🙏
MENTAL HEALTH IMPROVEMENT!! Wood paneling is no longer BROWN!! My mental health can’t take being trapped in this room / house all summer without ACTIVITY in my space. This winter took me to a really dark place. If I’m going to be stuck at home in the hot months, now I can have classes and events, which will make me VERY happy. Let’s bring the mountain to Mohammad!! This photo was the last full family shot with my Papu Albert before he died. He was awesome dude. If he was still around, I know he’d be proud of me fighting for others and myself. He always encouraged me to be my feisty self which I will always be grateful for!! (And can you believe I’m dressed like middle age lady when I was a teenager??!!! Haha my perm!) #family #familyphoto #papu #ruvia #legacy #benezraclan #sephardic #sephardicjew #disability #homebound #spoonie #disabled #spoonielife #cancer #cancersurvivor #lynchsyndrome #geneticcancer #cancergenetics #genetictesting #getit #geneticdisorder #chronicillnesswarrior #chronicillness #chronicillnessawareness #tenacity #fighton 🤘🏼
