The Undercover Intuitive in Washington DC -- with Julie Jakopic

Many of the most powerful leaders on the planet are secretly empathic, intuitive, and deeply sensitive, and have no idea that's what's really driving them. In this episode, Mellissa talks with Julie Jakopic, President and CEO of iLead Strategies, who advises policymakers, elected officials, NGO founders, and humanitarian organizations on the political front lines. Julie is highly respected as a strategist and consultant… and she's also a deep empath, artist, and intuitive. Julie shares how she used to deny her intuition and pay a huge energetic price, how she finally understood that she was feeling other people's feelings, and how she now uses her intuitive gifts to support leaders in one of the most tumultuous, conflict-filled cultures in the US right now. This is a must-listen for any empathic creative or undercover intuitive who wants to stay present, ethical, and effective in a wild and transforming world.
