Breaking Chains

Can a basketball team truly win if its players are constantly fighting each other for the ball?Is it possible for a relay to be won if one runner trips their teammate?How can a soccer team defend their goal effectively if the defense is caught up in infighting?Sometimes, we fall into the trap of living as individuals within our marriages, trying to operate as a team. We treat marriage as a BATTLEFIELD, constantly vying for control and dominance. This approach creates canyons of disconnection between partners, leading to strife and friction. Couples end up living in turmoil because they don't trust each other to take the ball over the goal line. But here's the thing my loves: marriage is not an individual sport. We shift the game when we go from FACING EACH OTHER on the field to STANDING SIDE BY SIDE, creating a healthy and safe home that multiplies blessings. How about we stop pointing fingers and change our mindset from "you" to "we." Our families are precious treasures entrusted to us by God, and He wants to see how well we lead and nourish that treasure.Winning championships isn't just about what happens on the playing field. The true victory comes from conditioning and practice. In our marriage teams, we can focus on behavior modifications that go beyond the surface level and truly change our hearts. By becoming aware of the patterns that play out in our lives, we can interrupt them and make lasting changes.Today’s conversation will provide a playbook of rhythms for your marriage that can lead to a permanent shift in your heart:Decide you are on the same team - What you’re fighting, you face together.Establish your team foundations - Spread out and look at the lay of the land.Assign positions and practice the drills of life - Where in your marriage will you pass the ball, and where will you lead?Clarify your values - What is the God-given mission of our marriage?Getting God involved amplifies and multiples your union. When you have divine protection and covering, you don't need to constantly play offense and defense against your spouse. Instead, you can come off the field feeling strong and more connected. Every team needs a coach! Feeling the call to go deeper? I work with 3 couples each quarter to help align  values, deepen connection, build trust, and clarify lines of communication. To learn more, fill out this short application.

Are you finding yourself running to ALL the wrong things to get your emotional needs met?Are you constantly beating yourself up mentally, ridden with guilt that you ‘should’ be doing better?Some of us are used to operating in the place of anxiety, living in the place of TURMOIL inside that we don’t know HOW do I get out from under this. At times, we may even find ourselves being crippled by the hold these things have on our life!  Unable to think clearly, execute on decisions we know we must make, we instead become paralyzed second guessing ourselves or simply stay in one place - spinning our wheels. Growing more frustrated and more anxious by the day, the guilt keeps piling on. In today’s episode we are talking about why we keep SELLING OUT.Yup. As humans - we will sell out our core values, the CORE of who we are, to get our primal human needs met - every time - if you don’t have things right on the inside.God designed a beautiful experience for us, one with healthy, life-giving variety. But too many of us are addicted to short-term fixes and constant distractions. An INNER CIVIL WAR rages when we satiate your desires with superficial fixes and dopamine hits one after the other. It’s like a crumb when you’re starving or a bandaid on a bullet wound. We may recognize the toll these short-term solutions take on our souls, yet a spirit of FEAR holds us back from breaking the cycle. Fear of judgment, of time running out, and of pain itself. But operating from a place of fear means a lack of trust in God, ourselves, and others. God did not design us to operate from a place of darkness, so how do we realign? We have to get clear on what matters to us so we know what we’re fighting for.In this episode, we’ll touch on these vital aspects of realigning your values to get off the grind and out of the trenches:The 6 human needs we all haveHow WHERE we get these needs met can cause more friction or flow in our livesAre you Creating from FEAR or LOVE?The importance of clear values and defining themThe two areas we must evaluate within ourselves to create changeWe can learn to operate from a place of genuine contentment and alignment with our God-given gifts and genius, instead of chasing after fleeting fulfillment. If you are struggling to do this on your own, working with a coach or mentor like myself can be the perfect next step.If you want to wake up with a clear mind and be able to get through your days feeling charged,  without the constant guilt and pressure, I invite you to learn more about 1:1 Mentorship or Group Coaching -  Fill out this Short Application and we will reach out with the next step!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-9361612a YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCauEds9jbgKCbJMZHjwEMug Website: https://thechristinejewell.com/----------Episode 96 Resources:Tony Robbins - 6 Human Needs

The HUMBLING Journey of a GREAT LEADER. SELF REFLECTION DAY.We are creatures of habit and it’s so easy to keep pressing on in our unconscious patterns. How often do we get so hyper fixated on a specific end goal or result and are gripping tightly to control that we are completely missing what we desire most or what is going on right under our nose? The VERY things we are often chasing so hard are literally right in front of us and we become blind to them. The solutions. The resources. The direction. The support - are always available - one outstretched hand away. One humbling moment of sharing vulnerably, asking for what we need, owning where we are at - away.We think the ‘gold’ is at the end of the rainbow, but the REAL GOLD comes in times of our self-reflection. In those HUMBLING moments where we get to ask ourselves the hard questions and actually sit with the answers. To be faced with our own truths, hard truths, new eyes that show us if we are clearly on the right path, or veering way off course and need to course adjust ASAP.Today I am sharing some insights on Humbling Journey of Leadership + 4 KEY QUESTIONS I am reflecting on right now to release even more control over the things that are not mine to grip so tightly. In today’s episode I am sharing:How do we DO LIFE with a LIGHTER SPIRIT and more JOY?Let’s ditch the heaviness and excessive loads we are carryingThe need for Humbling and how that differs from Humiliation (no shame)Are we bullies? Distortions around boldness + sharing truths The Humbling Nature of God vs the ‘punisher’ archetype so many are resistant ofHow to begin to see the hand of God right where you are. 4 questions you need to be asking yourself regularly******************************Resources Mentioned: Great Leaders Ask GREAT Questions - John MaxwellMultiply Your God Given Potential - John BeverePsalm 139 Psalm 139 Amplified Bible (biblehub.com)********************************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-9361612a YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCauEds9jbgKCbJMZHjwEMug Website: https://thechristinejewell.com/

What exactly are the “catalysts” or character traits for consistent and exponential growth?I’m HOT on this topic of living fully charged and on mission right now. In the place that not only feels amazing but is in full alignment with Gods plan for us. So many of us want to grow, to expand, to scale, to become better leaders, to experience more richness in our relationships, financially, emotionally and spiritually, and yet there are certain characteristics of those who consistently multiply in their lives versus those who stay the same or contract over time. We are not called to maintain the status quo. We are called to MULTIPLY.In today’s episode, I am unpacking five characteristics or catalyst of leaders who multiply consistently in a world that contracts. What is it about their attitude, mindset or actions that sets them apart? What is it that brings them “favour” and opportunities seemingly out of no where?How can our children teach us so much about our own disposition?Self Reflection questions you must be asking yourself as a leader, lover, parent and steward of your missionThe humbling truths that lead us into the place of overflow and ultimately open doors to new chapters + EXPONENTIAL growth 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-9361612a YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCauEds9jbgKCbJMZHjwEMug Website: https://thechristinejewell.com/

The painful dagger of rejection. Whether it was our parents withholding love through silent treatments or never being able to measure up to their expectations, to that first heartbreak, to the friends we trusted turning on us completely. Maybe it was getting cut from the team and feeling your dreams crushed or growing up with abuse in our household. We've all experienced it deeply. We've all been wounded by it.If you're human, you've experienced rejection and you are not alone. This is a BIG topic and one that comes up repeatedly, especially in leaders who are feeling the CALL to move into new unchartered territory, and they feel like impostors or are doubting their abilities!Today I am sharing a sneak peek into a chapter of my coming book and sharing some personal stories about my own struggle with rejection, my rebellious spirit, what to look out for and how to move beyond this place of bondage.In today's episode, we're unpacking:Breaking ties with the spirit of rejection + healing those woundsHow our rejection wound shows up on repeat in our lives The two primary motives that rejections turns to as a means of controlling the outcome and avoiding rejection The Art of Surrender + Obedience as a gateway forwardWhat obedience actually means and why so many resist it!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-9361612a YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCauEds9jbgKCbJMZHjwEMug Website: https://thechristinejewell.com/

Ever had something that you’ve been holding on to for so long that it now seems to have a HOLD of you?Like in your head, you think you forgave the person and moved on by deep down you know, that stuff is still IN your body.How do we let go and actually forgive people that don’t deserve it?You know, the one that hasn’t and will not be asking for forgiveness any time soon, the people that think that they have done absolutely nothing wrong.Perhaps that person has admitted their wrongdoing but you just can’t accept it.How do we get PAST that + actually free ourselves from the entanglement?So many times we think we're “over it”.We think we've forgiven, we think we've moved on, but our body has not forgotten. Our nervous system has not forgotten. We still feel locked up, tense, rigid, tight. RECOILING in walls of protection. It’s pretty much impossible to look at that person or situation through the eyes of compassion.In fact, we're still judging it. We're still talking about it from the level of consciousness that says, “these people did me wrong”! Some part of us still waiting for retribution. Today’s episode is about THE MEDICINE THAT SETS YOU FREE.This conversation - or should I say - rant - was inspired by a little episode that I had on Easter morning, of all days that got me thinking about WHAT exactly enables me to LET IT GO from my body and cut the cords of entanglement.So in today's episode, we're unpackingThe art of forgivenessHow to tell if we are really over it or are we still holding on to conscious or unconscious blocks?How do we forgive those who don't deserve it?Bonus - A conversation to have inside of your home with your children, inspired by our family conversation on Sunday.I'm sharing a personal story about my own experience, about how I was holding onto unconscious grudges, how I discovered that, and how I was able to let go of that.Forgiveness is truly the medicine that sets us free, and yet so many of us are trying to forgive in our head, but you can’t possibly LET GO that way.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-9361612a YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCauEds9jbgKCbJMZHjwEMug Website: https://thechristinejewell.com/

Do you still find yourself in the trap of needing to SUFFER before you can say you’ve actually earned the RIGHT to enjoy something? Be honest now. I know this place well.Today we are talking about moving beyond our addiction to suffering (yes, it’s a pattern) in order for us to feel worthy of receiving something meaningful. Whether it’s the love of our life, an incredible achievement or an epic experience, the truth is - so many of us are incapable of truly enjoying the people, things, experiences in our lives without thinking there’s some sort of ‘catch’ to it all. In the back of our minds, it’s as if some sort of transaction has to take place that will cost us dearly, or a massive thing we must overcome - BEFORE - we can even think about having that good of a thing in our lives. Our nervous systems just can’t seem to relax and receive the moment.Can you relate?Years ago I had two visions that came to me in rather close timing where I was shown what I call ‘the beauty’ way instead of the suffering way. In today’s episode I am sharing that story with you and if you’re watching on video I have a special piece of art I captured in the midst of this as a reminder that wherever we ‘think’ we are going, a part of us is ALREADY HERE.So, if you’ve been busting your butt to get ahead - and there’s been a lot of suffering and grinding along the way - this episode is for you.Let’s ditch the grinding it out by our own means and invite the Super- Natural Power of GRACE to take over.In today’s episode I am unpacking: Why I believe the Suffering is OptionalHow to Move Beyond the Ordinary + our own abilityWhat GRACE actually is and how to Receive it?the POWER within that AMPLIFIES everything in and around Us!Activating our Super - Natural Gifting and AbilitiesHow to tell if it’s our Ego running the show - or God’s WayThe Power of NOW. The thing you are seeking is HERE now.I am also sharing 5 Things that GRACE EMPOWERS you to DO that you can’t possibly do on your own as much as you try and force yourself there.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-9361612a YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCauEds9jbgKCbJMZHjwEMug Website: https://thechristinejewell.com/
