"To the woman who gets engaged... I think the most important thing is you can rely on your friends and family as much as you want, but they didn't really get to live and experience what you just went through -- because not many people do," Juliana said during a recent appearance on the "Bachelor Happy Hour" podcast.
"So, for me, I think it was about the both of us just trying to support each other."
Juliana added, "No matter what frustrated you -- whether it was something between us or something that happened between me and the other girls or just anything -- I was able to talk to him and he heard me."
Juliana therefore said "leaning into your person" during this difficult time is crucial.
"It brings you a lot closer than trying to work things out on your own, which, I think in the beginning, I tried to work things out on my own," Juliana shared.
"We kind of realized that that was only going to bring us further apart. So it's important to trust the person and to feel like they're your safe space, but also that they can give you some really good advice and just support you."
Since The Bachelor's Season 29 finale aired on March 24 on ABC, Grant has faced backlash for allegedly leading Litia on.
Litia claimed on The Bachelor: After the Final Rose that Grant had expressed his love and confirmed they were getting engaged the night before the Final Rose Ceremony.
But Litia isn't the only one speaking out about her frustrations with Grant. Fans have been slamming Grant on social media, and even The Bachelor alum Carolina Quixano released a diss track.
Another reason Juliana has apparently needed support is because she believes The Bachelor 29 women are "taking sides" and essentially picking Team Litia.

Grant recently asked Bachelor Nation to "stay classy" as fans continue to hate on his relationship with Juliana.
"When Bach nation is everyone tryna get clout by taking shots and you just a Guy who's happy he found love and happy his dad is sober," Grant wrote over a TikTok video on March 31.
Grant captioned the post, "Stay classy bachelor nation."
And Juliana wrote in the comments, "We stay in our own lany bby. Beyond proud of you AND your father."
Grant and Juliana opened up about all the outside noise during the April 1 episode of "The Viall Files" podcast.
"It's very easy to pick sides and make judgements... because people only see a fraction of you," Grant acknowledged when speaking with former The Bachelor star Nick Viall.
He went on to share, "One thing about Jules and I, people take low shots, and we don't really feed into that. How are we going to kill them? We're just going to win in life!"

"This phase, we're going to be on a beach somewhere having mimosas with our families and not worrying about guys making TikToks or people talking... If you've got a problem with me or Jules, say it to our face," Grant noted.
"I went in there knowing this, and I didn't go in there looking for any type of clout or anything. I went in there looking for my person."

Nick advised Grant and Juliana to let the haters hate because people are going to continue picking them apart no matter what they do.
"I don't listen to people. We take things one step at a time, and our relationship is No. 1, so that's the message I want to get across," Grant noted, adding how his goal is to make Juliana happy.
Grant and Juliana have apparently come together amid the chaos and so their relationship is stronger than ever.
"Grant has just been getting sh-t left and right all season," Juliana said with a laugh.
"He's been going through it and I'm like, 'It's okay! You can do this! Don't listen to them!' And then on the flipside, after AFR, I was like, 'Sh-t, I'm going through it! What do we do?!' And he was like, 'I've got you. Don't worry.'"
Juliana explained that she won't accept support from anyone who doesn't also genuinely support Grant and their relationship.
"My stance right now is, 'If you're pro or for me, you are for Grant. You can't be for me and not support him.' We are two for one at this point, and I draw the line right there... I'm just honest!" Juliana told Nick.
As for what's next for the happy couple, Grant said he plans to move to the Boston area in the near future to be close to Juliana's family.
Grant and Juliana have said they're in no rush to get married but they do envision eventually tying the knot in an "intimate" wedding ceremony in Italy.
