90. My Body, My Rules: Reclaiming Power Through Emotional Intelligence with Juls Bindi

What if the key to healing your body is hidden in a story you've never told? In this raw, powerful episode, entrepreneur and EQ advocate Juls Bindi joins Christa and Sheree to share how emotional intelligence transformed her life, from surviving childhood trauma to creating EQ Kid Books, a series teaching kids how to protect their bodies and speak their truth. Together, they unpack how unspoken pain becomes illness, how we move from victimhood to ownership, and why kids need boundaries and body autonomy now more than ever. If you’ve ever felt stuck, silenced, or unsure how to heal what you can’t see, this conversation will help you come home to your body and rewrite the story you tell yourself. ⚠️ Trigger Warning: This episode contains discussions of sexual assault, which may be distressing for some listeners.
