371: She Braved Abuse, Divorce, & Bankruptcy — Then Wrote the Book Every Child Needs (ft Juls Bindi)

In this deeply vulnerable and inspiring episode, I sit down with powerhouse entrepreneur and mama Juls Bindi. From surviving abuse and trauma to building two multimillion-dollar companies (ZuGoPet and ZuGo Bike), Juls now channels her healing into empowering the next generation through emotional intelligence. We dive into her journey from Shark Tank inventor to a soulful children’s book author, and explore how her healing path—through bankruptcy, divorce, and advocacy—birthed the EQ KiD Books series. Juls opens up about breaking generational cycles of abuse, the moment she reclaimed her voice, and how she's using storytelling to help parents and kids foster agency, self-regulation, and emotional safety. Whether you’re a parent, survivor, or someone on a path of purpose, this episode will move you to your core.
