E02 - Jude-Martin Etuka: Life-Changing Lessons from a Monk Turned Leader
from Human Kinder · host Cian Mc Enroe
What does spending 7 years as a monk do a person? I sit down with Jude-Martin Etuka, whose journey has taken him from years in a Nigerian monastery to teaching mindfulness, emotional intelligence, and leadership in the modern world.We talk about what it means to really face suffering, how awareness can transform the way we live, and why self-leadership is at the heart of leading others. Jude shares openly about his own story, the silence, the struggles, and the practices that still guide him today.This is a conversation about presence, compassion, and learning to meet life as it is. Jude’s wisdom is both practical and deeply human, and it reminds us that growth often comes through what we’d rather avoid.Connect with Jude via his website: https://www.jude-martin.com/01:35 – Introducing Jude & his journey14:34 – Monastery life, self-discovery, and awareness40:48 – Facing pain, suffering, and transformation52:46 – Emotional intelligence, leadership, and vulnerability01:13:58 – Practical mindfulness in everyday life01:28:22 – Presence, theology, and reflections on God02:02:19 – Guided meditation & closing thoughtsConnect with Cian and Human Kinder: https://linktr.ee/humankinder
