Calling all dreamers, hustlers, and creatives—this one’s for you! In this episode of Bitter B*tch, Jules sits down with the fiercely talented writer, actor, and director Julia Coulter to pull back the curtain on the wild ride that is filmmaking in Hollywood. From her start at the Royal Welsh College of Music & Drama in the UK to carving out her place in LA’s indie film scene, Julia dives into the realities of building a career in entertainment—beyond the glossy highlights.

Julia keeps it real about the harsh realities of not booking work right away, why background gigs are the ultimate crash course in the industry, and the lessons she’s learned navigating a business that’s constantly evolving. They also tackle how union status isn’t the career milestone it once was and the hustle of landing an agent while staying true to your craft.

Julia opens up about taking the reins as a filmmaker, from turning a personal trauma into art with her short film Brothers, to writing and starring in Habit, and now directing her first feature film, Road to L’Etape du Tour. With an all-star cast and the monumental challenge of directing and starring in the film, Julia shares how she juggled it all without losing her sanity. Her secret? Building a trusted team, leaning on her support system, and learning how to trust her instincts through every step of the process.

This episode is packed with relatable truths, hard-earned lessons, and practical tips for anyone looking to make their mark in the art world.

Jules reflects on the diversity push in Hollywood, the challenges of creating space as a woman in a male-dominated industry, and the importance of finding your voice and making your work truly your own.

They wrap it all up by sharing how you can help bring her incredible vision across the finish line as she enters post-production. If you’re an artist, filmmaker, or just someone trying to chase a big dream, this episode will leave you fired up and ready to tackle your next chapter!

This week, Jules chops it up with Alex Netherda—athlete, actor, fitness junkie, and motivational powerhouse—for a hilarious and brutally honest deep dive into his life and lessons learned.

They unpack everything: how they met, his days playing NCAA football at Cal Berkeley, and that time he was a safari guide (yes, really). Alex spills on his brush with prostitution, the insanity of tipping culture, and what working in the service industry taught him about people.

But it’s not all laughs. The conversation takes a vulnerable turn as Alex opens up about battling depression and anxiety and the life-saving impact of therapy. They tackle why men still struggle to talk about their feelings and how "toxic masculinity" has become the catch-all phrase of the decade.

On the dating front, Alex dishes on being single, avoiding dating apps, and surviving the beast that is LA dating. From first-date "icks" to red flags he ignored, to Jules throwing in some Westside-approved first date ideas—there’s no holding back. Oh, and Alex explains what “strange” means (spoiler: it’s not what you think).

They also chat about his decision to never drink at an early age, his commitment to “radical candor,” and what it really means to be the kind of man people look up to. This one’s full of twists, laughs, and the kind of conversations we should be having more often.
