Breaking Chains

Do you feel like God's finest handiwork, living out your KINGDOM calling? Or do you feel more like a machine, going through the motions most days?  Join me as we explore HOW to transcend our current reality and live a life of ultimate purpose and alignment - aka - GOD'S plan for our life! Today’s podcast is inspired by the recent completion of my upcoming book, “Drop the Armor, slated to come out early Jan, where I share my journey of going from an unfulfilled and misaligned “warrior” of the world - fighting all the wrong battles - to living a life of FULL YES in every single area as a Warrior of the Heart.  I could not be here if I had not gone through this path of initiation. I call it the warrior's initiation, the journey from head to heart into a whole new playing field. Here's the thing… There are so many realities available to us at any given moment in time. Every single morning you wake up, you are choosing. With every single text, every single email, every project you say yes to, every client you take on, every employee, every single day, the workouts you miss, the workouts you do, everything is stacking to CREATE the LIFE you are experiencing.So - if you don’t LOVE the life you are experiencing, I welcome you to CHOOSE a new reality. Today I am sharing 5 of the steps I took on my path to a completely upgraded reality. I am sharing what’s required at each stage of the game, and what life looks like on the other side. In todays episode we unpack:What does Breaking Chains even mean and WHY is now the time?The WAKE UP Call we all must experience.  Have you had it? Living a Full Yes: creating a life that is a full yes, where every decision and action aligns with divine purpose and brings fulfillment, abundance, and alignment with God's vision.The power of the great UNKNOWN - Trading the need for safety and predictability for expansion + co-creationWhat DRIVES you to grow and expand your life?Claiming Your KINGDOM Identity - it’s so different than your worldly oneUpgraded Vantage Points + Battle Strategies "For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do." - Ephesians 2:10 To learn more about private or group coaching, apply here. https://linktr.ee/christinejewellConnect with Christine!Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thechristinejewellFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/thechristinejewellLinkedIn: https://ca.linkedin.com/in/christine-jewell-9361612aYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCauEds9jbgKCbJMZHjwEMugWebsite: https://thechristinejewell.com/

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 answer would be radically different than it is today. 10 years ago? Different again. In the past 5 years? My definition of health has been completely upgraded, rewritten and fully aligned.That’s because we EVOLVE. And as we evolve, I believe so should our definitions of what success looks like for us. So should our mindset, our daily practices and protocols. Today we are talking about upgrading our health and vitality - and that starts with the programs that run our RELATIONSHIP with our bodies. AND of course - we are going straight to the SOURCE. In order to optimize anything you’ve got to understand the PURPOSE of it. So, what is the purpose of our BODIES original DESIGN by God?In this episode, we unpack:Vulnerable childhood experiences that shaped my relationship with fitness + my bodyFinding strength and identity through athletics during challenging timesUsing exercise as an escape and the dangers of burnoutThe importance of nurturing a respectful, balanced relationship with our bodies3 SHIFTS in thinking and operating that shifted the game for me.God’s PURPOSE and plan for our bodiesJoin me as I share the highs and lows of my wellness journey, trusting it will move you to embrace a more holistic approach to health and longevity.To learn more about private or group coaching, apply here. https://linktr.ee/christinejewellConnect with Christine!Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thechristinejewellFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/thechristinejewellLinkedIn: https://ca.linkedin.com/in/christine-jewell-9361612aYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCauEds9jbgKCbJMZHjwEMugWebsite: https://thechristinejewell.com/

Today on the Breaking Chains Show I am sharing my personal journey OUT of the Ego-Centric business models that run the world into the territory of multiplication and alignment without constant strife.I believe most of us start out with really great intentions. We want to serve the people, do good, create opportunities for others - and of course make a good profit along the way.I love the game of business. It's challenging, engaging and has stretched my character, capacity and belief systems like few things have.But somewhere along the way things started going sideways - as they do for many of us.And the game we used to love becomes a burden. In today's episode I am unpacking the EGO-CENTRIC business game and how I broke free of that.

And I am sharing the fire or fuel that drives everything today.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.Today we are diving into the intricate workings of our internal programming as it relates to making money and growing!—the mental and emotional blueprints that shape our approach to work and life. Drawing from personal experiences, I share the journey of aligning my business practices with Kingdom values and God shaped purpose, moving away from societal standards toward HIS blueprints for a blessed life.Key Points from the Episode:Exploring Internal Programming: Understanding the mental and emotional blueprints that influence our approach to work and life.Transitioning to Kingdom Blueprints: Aligning business practices with deeper values and purpose for meaningful impact.Lessons from My Personal Journey: Reflecting on pivotal moments, challenges, and the pursuit of passion amidst adversity.The Pitfalls of Ego-driven Ambitions: Recognizing the dangers of comparison, entitlement, and greed in the pursuit of success.Cultivating Gratitude and Service: Embracing humility and gratitude as guiding principles in our personal and professional endeavors.As you navigate your respective path, may you remain vigilant against the allure of entitlement, greed, and envy, and instead, cultivate a spirit of gratitude and service in all your endeavors.Staying in this place will yield blessings and multiplication!To learn more about private or group coaching, apply here. https://linktr.ee/christinejewellConnect with Christine!Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thechristinejewellFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/thechristinejewellLinkedIn: https://ca.linkedin.com/in/christine-jewell-9361612aYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCauEds9jbgKCbJMZHjwEMugWebsite: https://thechristinejewell.com/

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 to impact-driven leaders who want to experience greater freedom and fulfillment in EVERY arena of life. My signature approach is grounded in faith + holistic in nature -  addressing the mind, body, spirit, and heart to guide individuals through a process of INITIATION. The journey from head to heart, from the ways of the world (keep us enslaved)  to the ways of the KINGDOM (free us).In Todays Episode, I unpack: The Power of Our Origin Story + Family of OriginWHO we are is shaped even before the first SEED in the womb!Being raised in chaos and abandonment. My father's struggles with alcohol and depression. The tumultuous environment that shaped my perception of love, trust, and safety.Performing for Love and affection Becoming a protector and emotional parent. Coping mechanisms we develop to survive or get ahead.How I became a fighter, determined to never be like my father or my mother. My life became about proving myself, escaping the past, and chasing an illusion of security. This warrior mentality was fueled by pain, fear, and anger.Facing a breaking point that forced me to surrender to a higher power.In the next episode, I'll delve into the transformative journey that followed. For now, I want to leave you with these questions: What is YOUR origin story? Is there a warrior inside you? What have you been trying to protect, prove, or escape? Are you ready to fight differently? If so, welcome to the initiation, and I look forward to exploring this journey with you in the next episode.

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 generate the things we desire - sustainability and naturally.Do you KNOW what those are? Or are you fixated on the future?What are your MICRO habits and seeds that bear much fruit? You should have these established in each of your life arenas if you want to see some momentum. In this episode, we'll discuss:Breaking Free from the "Bigger, Bigger, Bigger" Addiction! Yes its an addiction:Let go of the constant pursuit of something bigger and recognize that ONE seed in the right soil can end up creating an entire orchard! Essential Pruning for Growth:What needs to GO so that you can multiply?

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’ path. We move forward by Leaning IN to the wisdom being handed down and embracing the change + preparing for it - rather Before we jump in, I encourage you to adopt a childlike wonder, faith, and a student's heart. For those of you who have been in the mindset, leadership development and spiritual growth game for a while - It's easy to think, "I already know this," but danger lies in that attitude! Nothing could stump our progress faster than a prideful mindset and ego-driven posture. And there goes lesson #1! For each lesson I am giving you words of truth and life to back it up! I pray you RECEIVE this wisdom and embrace it in your own life.  Here are a few of those Takeaways to Warm your Palette!UNIFICATION leads to MULTIPLICATION: meaning - if you want to accomplish EPIC things then you better get the RIGHT people together and it starts with your key relationships. Your marriage is the #1 place to get on the SAME PAGE if you want exponential increase. If you are over there praying for a miracle to happen, but you are disrespecting your wife/husband - expect things NOT to manifest. You need to hear this. It’s Not Always about ME (or YOU)- You can be doing your BEST WORK and still have others NOT receive it. You can  do ALL the right things and POUR all your Heart into people and they may still choose to mistrust/question/doubt/create stories about you. We get super discouraged when we make it about US, acting like we are doing it for them. I realized I am not doing it for them or their approval. I am doing it as an act of love and obedience for GOD. And what matters is what HE sees - our HEART.Keep on LOVING - because that’s what LOVE does.GENEROSITY breeds PROSPERITY. Shifting our focus from profit/loss to blessing & outpouring shifted the game for us! We are re-energized in our relationship with money, have taken back stewardship over all resources and are hitting the greatest giving goals in our history.Clear Intentions + Automated Actions = Exponential Results! Faith without works (actions) to back it up is useless. Actions without faith are also useless. But when you combine the two and add automation to accelerate it, watch out! To learn more about private or group coaching, apply here. https://linktr.ee/christinejewellConnect with Christine!Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thechristinejewellFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/thechristinejewellLinkedIn: https://ca.linkedin.com/in/christine-jewell-9361612aYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCauEds9jbgKCbJMZHjwEMugWebsite: https://thechristinejewell.com/

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 mean and how do we shift out of the physical when it’s ALL around us?It's easy to get caught up in the things beyond our control, but this robs us of joy and peace. Colossians 3:2  advise setting our hearts and minds on heavenly things. It's not about some distant future or place way out there; it's about embracing higher consciousness right here - right now, and choosing the operating system of heaven. As we head into the holidays, let's choose love, joy, peace, patience, and faithfulness—being conduits of the currency of heaven here on earth!In todays episode we are unpacking:Celebrating Small Beginnings: The significance of celebrating micro victories every day to build confidence + momentum + perseverance. I’m back on my feet and running again and it feels amazing! (Do not despise small beginnings! Momentum comes faster than you think)Heavenly Currency vs Earthly Currency: The intangible and eternal things that truly bring us life and happiness.Words of Wisdom: What it means to set our hearts and minds on heavenly things, adopting a higher level of consciousness and shifting out of lower level concerns.The psychology of money meets biblical perspectives on true wealth + joy.Actionable Steps to take THIS week!
