Episode 135: Body Upgrade: the Pros and Cons of Pushing Our Bodies

Uncategorized Feb 14, 2024

Today we are diving into our relationship with our Bodies, Health and Performance. 

 

What does it mean to YOU to be FIT? 

 

Everyone I speak to says health is one of their core values, but WHAT does that really mean?

Have you taken a look around at what ‘normal’ looks like lately? Medicated, stressed out, tired and burned out. Bags under eyes, bloated bellies and joint aches and pains.

 

All it takes is one look around to see how OUT of shape and out of integrity we are if that’s the case.

 

And what about all these ‘ultra’ fit looking athletes with not an ounce of fat on them - winning championships and crushing the competition. Is that a spitting image of health?

All those muscles. All those medals. All that talk of ‘no pain, no gain!’

 

I have been in the world of athletics, nutrition, weight loss and competition for over 3 decades now. AND If you would have asked me this question 20 years ago, my...

Episode 134: Upgrading Ego-Centric Business Practices to Values + Purpose Driven Blueprints

Uncategorized Feb 07, 2024

As we continue on our collective journey of growth and self-discovery, I wanted to take a moment to reflect on some of the themes we've explored together in recent episodes.

If you've been following our podcast series, you know that we've delved into the raw, real stories that have shaped my passion for restoring broken homes, starting with broken hearts and identities. From family origin to distorted love, each episode has invited us to examine the core relationships that underpin our lives.

In our latest installment, I delve into the intricate workings of our internal programming—the mental and emotional blueprints that shape our approach to work and life. Drawing from personal experiences, I share the journey of aligning business practices with deeper values and purpose, moving away from societal standards toward kingdom blueprints.

Key Points from the Episode:

Episode 133: Love Story: From Broken Hearts + Affairs to Discovering REAL LOVE

Uncategorized Jan 31, 2024

Ever feel like love and marriage is a mysterious riddle you just can’t seem to crack? 

If so then get ready for some real heart-to-heart talk because today's episode is a deep dive into my personal rollercoaster of “love”

I have no doubt you’ll be able to relate to a few of these seasons I went through…. 

Today I'm taking you on a journey from the twists and turns of  co confused / distorted love to the warmth of discovering the REAL deal. LOVE, after all, is a STATE of BEING and the presence of GOD manifested - not fleeting emotions! 

Buckle up because we're about to get real, raw, and oh-so-relatable!

In today's episode I’m unpacking the 5 Stages I went through as I matured in relationship with myself, men and God. 

I’m sharing:

  • The normalcy of Dama
  • Red flags in relationships, and the desperate housewife dilemma.

  • The generational baton of affairs
  • Fighting...

Episode 132: A Warrior is Born; Our Family of Origin Story

Uncategorized Jan 24, 2024

Hey there, welcome back to the Breaking Chains podcast! I'm thrilled to kick off a fresh series in this new season. 

In this 6 part series  I'll be sharing some personal stories, starting with my own origin story. I know it's challenging to unveil personal stories, especially those that reveal part of our nature we are not ‘proud’ of - but I believe it's crucial to understand where those parts of us came from in order to move forward!

Our family of origin and our origin story  affects us deeply in the first years of our lives. It shapes our identity, beliefs, reactions, and unconscious operating systems. But that beginning and that story does not have to be the ONE we live out our entire lives. We can take the good, restore the broken parts - and create a NEW LIFE story - one that will shape the future of our children and every person we are called to lead.

So, let me reintroduce myself. I'm Christine Jewel, a high-performance coach and faith-based mentor...

Episode 131: Welcome to Breaking Chains!

Uncategorized Jan 17, 2024

Welcome to the BREAKING CHAINS!

 

Did you catch that? 

 

We got a new name and that means it’s reintroduction and UPGRADE day around here! 

It’s a new season, and with that comes a renewed laser-like focus. This season I am doubling down  on conversations around breaking free the chains of the past, the chains of addiction, chains of old identities, old relationships, old belief systems…. 

 

Anything and everything that is keeping us tied down, stuck, shackled and cycling  in the grind - playing from behind - has got to GO so we can truly step into the extraordinary life of FREEDOM God has predestined for us!

 

We are also going to talk a LOT about what life looks like on the OTHER SIDE of that old game board. What’s waiting for you - when you are ready to lean in and take massive action toward something DIFFERENT.

 

You cannot, and will not ever walk in or experience the fullness of life you are created for...

Episode 130: Small Things That Create Exponential Increases

Uncategorized Jan 10, 2024

Today we are talking micro-habits, the super small things that actually create exponential INCREASE when compounded over time.

Focusing on GROWTH vs focusing on how to cultivate the right ENVIRONMENT where growth naturally happens are two very distinctly different things.

One is chasing those shiny apples (cars, money, success, status, clients, profits, etc) The other is planting a whole filed of seeds that birth thousands of apples!

In order to get a harvest, you need the right soil, the right seeds, the right environment and a lot of tending to the right process!  Relationships, business, health, finances are no different and yet so many of us are trying to grow grow grow things in a way that’s going to end up burning the whole thing up - producing little to NO FRUIT long term. 

In today’s episode I invite you SEE the BIG, GOD shaped Vision and Goals for this year, but laser in your focus and actions on the seemingly insignificant things that actually...

Uncategorized Jan 03, 2024

Ready to NEXT LEVEL your Marriage? 

Then it’s time for UNIFICATION - because as I mentioned last week, unification leads to MULTIPLICATION.

Episode 128: Reflections from 2023 - Wisdom Earned!

Uncategorized Dec 27, 2023

Alright, let's get personal! I'm about to spill the beans on 10 lessons that lit up and shifted my world in 2023.

These lessons prepared me and paved the way for the road ahead. Wisdom, you know, can be acquired in one of two ways. The first is the hard way – these are the lessons we learn through challenging times, the fires we walk through that burn the old away and shape our character for the NEW.  This is where we are forced through the internal work required to become the person worthy of receiving and managing well the next chapter of life we are looking forward to.

The second way wisdom is passed on is by RECEIVING it from those who have gone before us: through mentorship, coaching, and hearing others experiences. The Key is actually receiving and applying it to be more than just entertainment! This way - we literally begin to collapse timelines and accelerate growth. We don’t have to struggle nearly as long or make it as hard as the ‘earned’...

Episode 127: Focus On Things ABOVE, Not Below

Uncategorized Dec 20, 2023

What IS the secret sauce to attaining true peace and happiness? 

 

Today's conversation is designed to SHIFT your PERSPECTIVE and mental/emotional state any time you need to ‘snap out of it!”

 

At the time of recording, it's the holiday season. 

 

With that comes a time of connection, celebration and much needed rest for many…. for others, extreme loneliness, pain and added stress. 

 

Perhaps you are finding yourself on an emotional roller coaster this season. It’s easy to get caught up in what’s happening externally - family matters, logistical planning: who’s going where, financial pressures, who is no longer with us, stuff that needs to be bought. Memories that creep up. 

 

I was feeling it this morning! There were some heavy things on my heart I needed to work through. 

 

The recurring message?

 

Focus on things above, not earthly matters. 

 

But WHAT exactly does this...

Episode 125: The Power of HUMAN Connection in Breaking Down Walls + Promoting Wellbeing

Uncategorized Dec 13, 2023

Today, I want to dive into the incredible power of human connection to bring about healing, transform mental and emotional health, expand our thinking, and break down those tough emotional walls.

Coming off our recent Visioneering retreat, I've been reflecting a ton on the incredible experience we had. Going through pictures, reminiscing about the deep conversations, it's just mind-blowing how much healing unfolded over that weekend. 

If you're feeling armored up, you know you have emotional barriers, are struggling with connection, or just sensing a need for healing, this episode is for you!

I'm a firm believer that when two or more gather, there's a supernatural power of healing. Today we are talking about neuroscience, mental health, and emotional health, but I also want to touch on the spiritual aspect of why gathering together is so essential!

Matthew 18:20 says, "For where two or more gather in my name, I am there with you." 

Gathering, sharing, being open and...
