Episode 52 – Guided From the Other Side

With Jenn Cohen

About this episode

What if your career path was guided by someone you love… even after they’ve passed?

In this episode, intuitive mentor and spiritual coach Jenn Cohen shares the deeply personal and powerful story of how her father’s sudden death became the beginning of an extraordinary spiritual connection, one that guided her through a 27-year career in the entertainment industry and eventually to her true calling.

We explore how to recognize signs from deceased loved ones, how intuition can guide your career and life decisions, and how to quiet the noise of fear and overthinking to hear your inner knowing. Jenn also explains why intuition isn’t about predicting the future, but about connecting to your higher self and spiritual guidance in the present moment. Plus, she shares simple practices you can start using today to strengthen your intuition.

If you’ve ever wondered whether it’s possible to connect with loved ones after they pass, or how to trust your intuition even in a fast-paced, corporate environment, this conversation will inspire you to notice the signs, follow your inner guidance, and trust the journey.

I Couldn’t Have Asked for a Better Result

I had a session because I was stressed due to a shoulder injury that was keeping me away from the tennis court. I was worried how long it might take to heal, and what if it didn’t? I was frustrated not to be able to play. I needed to find calm again and that’s why I had the session. The process was surprisingly light and easy. It sorted out my anxious state. What I didn’t expect is to then be back on court just 4 days later! I couldn’t have asked for a better result.

Hannu shares how belief systems, mindset, and spiritual resilience helped him heal his body and redefine his leadership style—without losing himself in the process.

We talk about the placebo effect, spiritual growth after trauma, and how kindness in corporate roles can be radical. Whether you’re burned out, feeling stuck in your career, or navigating your own healing, this episode is a roadmap for reconnecting with purpose when everything feels uncertain.

Something Has Shifted Inside of Me on a Cellular Level

I completed a set of eight coaching sessions with Julie and I have to say that the transformation that has occurred ever since is incredible. From the first time I met Julie I immediately felt relaxed in her presence because she has a special way of letting the process be easy and natural. Unlike conventional coaching programs that tend to keep you lingering on the surface of “issues”, Julie’s method gets right to the heart of the matter. And although the breakthroughs were surprisingly profound, I always left the session feeling light. That was a notable difference from what I had experienced with other coaches in the past where I would feel like Pandora’s box had been opened which only added more complexity to my situation and little resolve.

I now feel that something has shifted inside of me on a cellular level. I am more calm and have a general sense that everything is in its rightful place. At first, I thought it was just an inner sensation but then I began to see the ripple effect of that cellular shift on the outside as well. Throughout the coaching process, many of my limiting beliefs just evaporated and it all happened smoothly and effortlessly. And now there’s a distinct current of optimism flowing through me that I seemingly didn’t have to work for.

The following are some of the changes that I have experienced:

  • Out of nowhere and without lifting a finger, I suddenly received a large sum of money from a completely unexpected source and I realized that I can choose to trust.
  • The relationship with my parents that used to be conflicted has become light-hearted because my perception of them has changed.
  • My house doesn’t need as much looking after since everything is already in the right spot.
  • I had struggled to get back to my walking routine but now I wake up early every morning and look forward to my 30-minute walk to start the day.
  • I’ve spent many years reading about nutrition, listening to health coaches and trying different diets and have been relieved of all of that stress just by giving up sugar and flour. That clarity was suddenly there.
  • I find myself not participating in situations that don’t favor my wellbeing when I would have automatically done so before.
  • I’ve been reconnected with an innocence within and I’m committed to taking proper care of it. There is a willingness to take charge of my life and it feels good.
  • My mind has shifted from overwhelm to knowing that I can do less before doing more; a result from having more mental and emotional poise.
  • Random bits and pieces of technical things on my “to do” list that I was avoiding have become less “scary” and I just get things figured out without much fuss. Life is flowing.
  • But the most impressive thing is that although I enjoy learning from teachers, I am less needy of their validation because I understand that I possess my own repertoire of knowledge, experience and teachings. The skills that I have acquired and polished in my lifetime are sufficient. I don’t need “more” to be successful in my endeavors.

Julie’s coaching has given me tangible evidence that all it takes is a slight yet powerful inner shift rather than a tedious progression of small steps towards a desired goal. It’s an approach that actually gives results. I’m very grateful and looking forward to working with her again.

I Feel Stronger, Empowered and More Resilient

I have explored life purpose with Julie in the past and attend her Monday Intention setting activations on zoom, which I find powerful.
More recently I was going through quite a challenging time and Julie supported me using ‘The Compassion Key’.
I feel it helped me transmute a lot of negativity, to realise the purpose of significant relationships in my life and to trust my intuition even more now. I feel my spiritual gifts have heightened, I have deepened my self awareness and have more capacity to be forgiving, kind and compassionate, I really feel stronger, empowered and more resilient.
