Intuition Wins Cases: How a Prosecutor Used her Gut to Get Justice

Can you trust your intuition in a courtroom?

Most people think intuition belongs in yoga studios, not in high-stakes legal environments where lives hang in the balance. But JoDee Neil—a former prosecutor who handled crimes against children for 15 years—will tell you straight up: intuition wasn't optional. It was essential.

In this powerful conversation, JoDee shares:

→ How she used prayer and journaling to prepare for jury trials (and left room in her strategy for what her gut told her to ask in the moment)

→ The parallel life she lived as a prosecutor and an undisclosed survivor (and how connecting with survivors became her own path to healing)

→ What it feels like when your soul says "I can't do this anymore" (even when you have a steady paycheck, health insurance, and external success)

→ The inner work that gave her the courage to leave prosecution and step into advocacy, speaking, and writing her book on disclosure for survivors

→ Her advice for anyone who knows they need to make a change but is paralyzed by fear

JoDee's story is proof that intuition isn't separate from strategy—it IS strategy. And that the most courageous thing you can do is recognize when your values are calling you toward something different, even when it terrifies you.

This episode will challenge you to ask yourself: If success looks good on paper but feels heavy in your body—whose life are you actually living?
