Episode 33: Reclaiming the Spirit in a World Obsessed with the Mind - A Conversation with Author, Jules Kuroda
Manage episode 483622890 series 3599235
In this heart-expanding episode, Katie welcomes Jules Kuroda—corporate hippie, wanderer, and author of The N8 Self—for a conversation that blends humor, depth, and soul-level truth. Together, they explore a profound yet often overlooked part of our existence: the N8 self—our spiritual essence that lives beyond mind, heart, and body.
Jules invites us to ask the big questions, but in bite-sized, tangible ways:
🔹 What if fulfillment isn’t found in success, but in soulful connection?
🔹 What if creativity isn’t childish, but a sacred spark?
🔹 What if the language of your spirit is connection—not logic or emotion?
Drawing from coaching, cultural wisdom (including her time living in Japan), and real-life stories—including an unforgettable Cinderella-sized pumpkin carving moment—Jules reveals why Western culture struggles with the spirit, and what we can reclaim if we dare to dream, play, and connect.
Mic-drop Moments:
- “The mind speaks in thoughts. The heart in emotions. The body in action. But the spirit? The spirit speaks in connection.”
- “We’re not just in a mental health crisis. We’re in a spiritual one.”
- “The purpose of life is… discovering the purpose of life.”
This episode is for the thinkers, seekers, and soul-led humans who suspect there’s more to life than hustle, goals, and checklists. It's a reminder that you are more than your mind and body—and it's time we talked about that.
