Feeling disconnected, stuck in people-pleasing mode, or longing for deeper purpose? This inspiring episode dives into emotional wellness, overcoming loneliness, and reclaiming your authentic self—offering real strategies for building resilience, cultivating connection, and living a wildly fulfilling life.

Host Kathy Washburn welcomes coach and author Jules Kuroda, creator of “The N8 Self” framework, to unpack how we unintentionally create loneliness, the powerful lessons of stepping outside your comfort zone, and why reconnecting with our innate character strengths and creativity is essential—especially for Type C personalities and women navigating midlife reinvention.

Discover how modern technology shapes our relationships, the science and spirituality of inner wisdom, and practical ways to shift from isolation to abundance and joy. Learn about the eight essential characteristics that shape a meaningful life, and hear actionable steps to silence self-judgment, nurture emotional intelligence, and build authentic connection—with yourself and others.

If you’re ready to stop living for others, prioritize self-care, and invest in the next vibrant chapter of your life, this episode will leave you feeling emboldened and ready to step into the fullness of who you truly are.

In this episode, Kathy and Jules discuss:

  • Cultivating authentic self-connection practices
