#662 – Julie Theis – Reality TV Star from Netflix “The Trust,” Psychoanalyzing Celebrity Disorders

In this episode of The Jimmy Rex Show, Jimmy sits down with Julie Theis, reality TV star from Netflix’s The Trust and a fast-rising voice in psychology and human behavior. Julie has built a loyal audience by breaking down celebrity relationships, trauma patterns, and mental health dynamics in a way that is simple, sharp, and easy to see in your own life.

Julie opens up about growing up in poverty with addicted parents, experiencing homelessness and foster care, and how those early wounds pushed her into psychology. She and Jimmy dive into modern dating, the male loneliness problem, why so many women are exhausted doing the emotional labor in relationships, and how victimhood and self-sabotage keep people stuck.

They also walk through Julie’s process of using pop culture as a mirror to teach about abuse, codependency, and self-worth. Whether you’ve seen Julie on Netflix, follow her breakdowns online, or just want a clearer framework for your own patterns in love and life, this episode will give you a lot to think about.
