Meet Shirley Ju

Alright – so today we’ve got the honor of introducing you to Shirley Ju. We think you’ll enjoy our conversation, we’ve shared it below.

Shirley, so great to have you with us and we want to jump right into a really important question. In recent years, it’s become so clear that we’re living through a time where so many folks are lacking self-confidence and self-esteem. So, we’d love to hear about your journey and how you developed your self-confidence and self-esteem.
That’s a great question. while i’ve been writing for 13+ years, i never went to school for journalism. so essentially i had to learn as i went. starting as an intern, i literally worked my ass off to get to where i am now. i believe my self-confidence is fueled by a decade of hard work, dedication, and passion, to now i’m able to confidentially hold these conversations and interview celebrities with my best foot forward.

Thanks, so before we move on maybe you can share a bit more about yourself?
i’m a journalist, on-camera host, & publicist based in Los Angeles. i started my own show called Shirley’s Temple, w/ a focus on mental health. i truly believe i have a knack for interviewing & telling compelling stories.

my Youtube channel is called Shirley’s Temple! please subscribe & turn on notifications to stay up to date on all my new interviews. i have my biggest episode to date dropping up next! we are currently finalizing the edit.

investing in areas where you aren’t as strong to be more well-rounded
