Are you ready to go beyond your inner critic? In “How to Listen to Your Intuition and Trust Yourself,” I sit down with executive coach and author Jules Kuroda to explore the often-misunderstood voice of intuition and the powerful journey back to the deeper self, Jules calls your “N8 Self.”

If you’ve ever wondered whether there’s more to life than your daily routine, felt uncertain after a big transition, or struggled with trusting yourself, you’re in the right place. Jules joins me to share her transformative book, The N8 Self: You Are More Than Your Mind, Body, and Emotions, and together, we reveal practical tools and inspiring stories that will help you reconnect with your own wisdom and spark. 

5 Key Lessons from This Episode

1. Why Your Mind Is Not Always Your Best Friend
Discover how the mind acts as both protector and saboteur, and how you can gently quiet it to hear your real intuition.

2. The Eight Pillars of Your “N8 Self”
Learn about character, contribution, connection, creativity, generosity, gratitude, courage, and meaning, and how tuning into these traits shifts your self-trust.

3. Practical Intuition Exercises
Hear firsthand stories (yes, including the infamous furniture offer!) and try simple, actionable ways to practice listening to your inner voice, no matter how analytical or skeptical you are.

4. The Hidden Power of Connection and Vulnerability
Understand why loneliness is often self-created, and how opening up (even in small ways) can realign you with joy, meaning, and authentic relationships.

5. How to Spark Growth at Any Age
Discover why midlife (or any “now what?” moment) can be the greatest launching pad for rediscovering your creativity, joy, and sense of purpose.
