Breaking Chains

Overwhelmed.We all know that feeling. Of being completely overtaken by something, or so many things - so much so that we can’t think clearly anymore, can’t focus on the next step and become so consumed with what is at hand, we are unable to move in any direction. How do we handle it or manage those seasons when we are completely overwhelmed? The number of times I have found myself trying to ‘hold’ it all together and press forward, while being completely immobilized with the magnitude of things is countless. For years of my life I lived in a constant state of frustration, anger, and feeling behind. Overwhelmed by all the things.Maybe it’s a never ending state for you. Maybe it happens every once in a while. If you're a business owner, an entrepreneur, a parent, a leader in any capacity, as a HUMAN, you get overwhelmed. It just IS part of our amazing design to be vessels that are so OPEN to receive so much - the ugly and the incredibly beautiful.Today I am inviting you into a massive perspective shift and conscious upgrades in terms of the way that you engage with this state, how you view it and how to actually lean into it!What if I told you that this ability to be OVERWHELMED is actually a GIFT if you learn how to harness it and channel it?What if you could become overwhelmed with JOY? With excitement, inspiration - curiosity? With GRACE?It’s true. And today I invite you into the conversation….In this episode we unpack:Two Root Causes for Overwhelm Comparisons will stop you dead in your tracks!No boundaries = a hot mess!Clarity is KING. So how do we get back there?Overwhelmed, Consumed and Anxious - the Curse we can keep living outHow to turn the Curse into a BLESSING - the GIFT of OverwhelmOpening ourselves up vs Numbing OutHow to OPEN the doors to more of what we DO wantCLOSING doors to that which consumes and paralyzes usToday I am challenging you to CHOOSE your OVERWHELM loves and ditch the idea of “balance” . What if you actually fell in love with the idea of going ALL IN and bringing 100% of your attention to something or someone in the highest vibration possible?You can be overcome by GRIEF and at the same time overwhelmed by GRACE, Overwhelmed by FEAR, or overwhelmed by FAITHOverwhelmed by problems, or overtaken by BEAUTYWho in their right mind would choose to be ‘under-whelmed?’ As for me, I want the depth and richness of it ALL. This is the place of miracles.Bring it on.Previous Episodes MentionedEpisode 38: Asking Powerful Questions 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/

After nearly two decades of running my own businesses, I got so sick and tired of what I saw and experienced in the land of Marketing, Growth and Transactions. I felt an immense amount of conflict between the WAY I wanted to do business and what the WORLD told me would make success happen. I repeatedly felt like my  ‘soul needed a shower’ when I entered into these highly competitive, ego-centered containers - until I finally decided to ditch all the OLD ways and DO business from a completely different vantage point which revolutionized the work I got to deliver, my level of fulfillment and in turn - the financial growth + Prosperity that comes when you get things IN ORDER.When I met George I finally felt like someone understood my heart as a service based business leader.Today we are getting Raw and Real about Business, Outdated OLD school marketing, sales and growth strategies and how to SCALE ethically. George Bryant is a father, husband, leader, founder and owner of multiple 7 figure companies and he is the The KING of SCALING ethically. His genius is doing relationship-centered marketing and deepening relationships with customers by outcaring the competition so I just had to have him on the show.In this episode we unpack:From Burning everything down multiple times to rebuilding the RIGHT wayThriving In a Transactional World - Transactions come after RelationshipsThe Manipulative Paradigms are running much of the worldPutting the HUMAN component back into businessChecking in on our Self Integrity BarometerReorganizing the WAY we show up and do business When to THROW out the playbook and agendaHow to make more money, scale sustainably and influence others, naturally“All we ever want is relationships. I kept trying to come back to PEOPLE, but realized I was the one who was missing all along.” George Bryan“PEOPLE are the SECRET”Connect with George on his Podcast: Mind of George Online at https://mindofgeorge.com/IG: @itsgeorgebryantBook Recommendations: “Radical Honesty” by Brad BlantonTo 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/

CONNECTION.We are hard wired for it biologically. Our bodies NEED it or we get sick + slowly die.We are soft wired for it emotionally and spiritually. We’ve seen the mental health effects of isolation.We crave to be seen, loved, appreciated, trusted and respected. We desire to be wanted and understood by others. It's IN us to love well and lead well.It doesn’t matter if you are a CEO running a multimillion dollar company or a stay at home parent, we simply can not connect to anyone in honest, intimate and inspiring ways until we connect with ourselves authentically.Connection heals our wounds, awakens our souls, and invites us into our most authentic, courageous, and integrated selves.Today I am joined by Karen Hardwick,  psychotherapist turned leadership consultant with a Masters of Divinity from Princeton Theological Seminary and author of “The Connected Leader” and we are talking about the Art of Connection + how to overcome the feelings of isolation and loneliness many of us experience “at the top” and inside our very own homes.In this episode we unpack:Why our work places are in tremendous TurmoilThe epidemic of Addiction to Numb OurselvesDistorted ways we attempt to connect and the destructive cyclesCreating healthy boundaries while also holding others accountableRecovering from the “Superhero”, rescuer complexWhat can we do to Empower others and take the pressure off ourselves?“We are not having a leadership crisis. I believe we are having a human being crisis and that the most impactful leaders are those who learn to lead from their own connected heart and soul.” Karen Hardwick“There is NO outside Solution to an INSIDE Problem, So approach yourself with GRACE + Self Compassion + Honesty.”I couldn't agree more with this statement.It’s why I have shifted my entire lifes’ work over to supporting others in building deeper, more meaningful relationships with themselves, with God and with each other.Connect with Karen Here on her podcast:  Saving You A Seat https://savingyouaseatpodcast.com/Online at https://karenjhardwick.com/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/karenjhardwickinc/IG: https://www.instagram.com/karenjhardwick/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/

How do we begin to heal, restore and rebuild trust after it’s been broken?Perhaps there's been an affair, emotional or physical cheating, or trust has been broken in other ways:  confidentiality was broken, financial mistakes swept under the rug, lack of follow through on empty promises. Lots of words and no action to back it up.Nothing feels more painful, confusing and disheartening at the moment.Anytime we enter into an agreement with someone,  it often comes with a whole set of unspoken expectations and hopes of how things are going to be, and when they don’t go according to plan, we become shattered. Regardless of our story, we know that if we don't honor and heal the pain of the past, those wounds will remain open and we will inevitably end repeating those patterns over and over again. In today’s episode I am breaking it down into two sections:Part one is for the person that broke the trust. What does Radial Ownership look and sound like?No More Hiding - Overcoming the Shame withinThe Power of an Open BookCreating a Safe EnvironmentPart two is for the person who has been betrayed. Permission to feel it all + not bypassing this stageAsking Questions that help move things forwardCreating Safety and Communicating NeedsWe are diving into some practical steps you can take today to HEAL + REBUILD Trust so you can begin to move forward again.This conversation is rooted in my own life experience of cycling through  decades of betrayal /mistrust and finally entering into a place of safety inside relationships , as well as many client case studies.  I trust today's episode will help you move forward and grow into deeper connection with both yourself and others.**************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/

Today we are celebrating ONE full year of the UNTAMED LIFE podcast and I am diving into the SPECIFIC things I believe PUT US into the place of Abundance, Overflow and Alignment.That’s correct. We get PUT THERE. And how we got PUT there is by setting down our own agenda and  getting OUT of the way.Just over a year ago I felt the call on my heart to create this podcast and to not hesitate! At the time I felt highly unqualified and wasn't even sure what the format would end up being. Yet - here we are celebrating 52 consecutive weeks of recording and releasing episodes without a single blip or break! That’s some massive progress on so many levels.MOST of my life I have resisted consistency + commitment in the name of “freedom” and flexibility and yet the journey proves that when we move and swap our self serving hearts for ones of deep service - we enter the space of ULTIMATE FREEDOM.What is paradoxical is that living IN the space of ultimate freedom and abundance also means living in the space of submission, devotion and obedience. What?!Correct. The very reason I am sitting here today in FULL ALIGNMENT is because I embraced the very things I fought against nearly my entire life.The things I thought would give me freedom kept enslaving me.The things I thought would enslave me were actually the things that SET ME FREE. In today’s episode we are talking about: Why submit? And WHAT are we submitting to anyway?Practical real life examples of living IN Obedience day in and day outWhy I ditched goal setting in this process and WHAT I do/focus on insteadHow to get out of our own wayThe Art of Devotion Positioning yourself to BE OPEN Adopting an ALL IN HEART BONUS - Do you have the INFRASTRUCTURE and daily habits to SUPPORT the life you are asking for?None of this is here because I set out a goal to go get it.None of this is here because I chased it, or “made”, forced it or hustled my way into making it happen. I am here today, in this incredible relationship - in this amazing home - doing work I love on a daily basis - podcasting/writing/playing a TON -  because I FINALLY got out of the way and allowed more to happen through me.We are the VESSELS - not the SOURCE.**************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 to DO when nothing is working....Feeling Stuck, Stalled or Contracting? How do you tap back into Momentum and get back into the FLOW again?We all hit those spots - Where all of a sudden, it feels like nothing you are doing is working right & what always used to work to get results, is no longer working. In fact, it may even be causing more problems than anything. What gives?I believe this is the exact moment we are on the cusp of a breakthrough or upgrade and the way through it without breaking everything down is to move into the space of momentum where things are flowing naturally, vs being forced. In today's episode I am talking about the KEY areas where we get stuck and HOW to move past them: How to move beyond frustration and discouragementHow to open up energy when you are feeling drained/exhausted How to lighten the load when you are feeling burdened - heavy, weighed downThe ONE fast thing I do to clean things up and set myself up to MOVE ForwardThe attachments we have that keep us STUCK on the struggle busClarifying our MISSION - How to get back to the CORE of WHAT matters when we lose our 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/

How do you KNOW what kind of King, Queen, LEADER you truly are?HOW do we determine if we are succeeding or running this thing, this marriage, this company - off the rails?I believe as leaders The ripple effect of our influence will have an impact on generations to come. It’s easy to view ourselves through both rose coloured, delusional glasses - in complete denial about what we are actually leaving as a legacy…or  through really harsh ones where it feels like we can’t seem to do anything right.Good, bad and everything in between - you are leaving a MARK on others and you have influence right now. The question then becomes - what INFLUENCE am I having on others?Simply put the TEST is this:  What is LIFE like for the people we have been entrusted with?Is your kingdom thriving or struggling right now?We have all been entrusted with some kind of kingdom - no matter how ‘big’ or ‘small’ it may seem in your eyes. Big and Small are simply constructs of the human mind anyway.I have been leaning into this discussion pretty intently lately as I ask some deeper questions of myself and all that I have been entrusted with - especially as I undergo my most recent journey of writing this book that is to carry a potent message.I feel both the weight and excitement of this responsibility and it has drawn me into deeper contemplation on what kind of mark am I leaving on others and am I walking in integrity with what I speak and teach on?In today’s episode of the untamed life I unpackThe TESTING ground of a true leader + specific areas to look at How a woman flourishes! How a man rises in his strengthWhere is our Bandwith, energy and FOCUS directed towards?Are we enabling or empowering? Are we leading as dictators that exercise authority or Are we leading from influence, mentorship, guidance and empowerment The HEART of a Good King with a thriving kingdom vsThe HEART of a Self Serving King with a kingdom that suffersWho is serving who anyway?All this and so much more as we dive into becoming a En-TRUSTED leaderWith a thriving kingdom. We are talking about relationships, parenting and leading in all arenas of life because you are the SAME leader ->>  no matter where you go, there you are << -“For the sake of their people.

It’s a dangerous place to be. That place where you begin to notice you have lost your inner fire, your vision suddenly becomes blurry, your thoughts unfocused, and you are tired - exhausted.You are tired from fighting constant battles, tired from putting out one fire after another, reacting to everyone and everything around you instead of LEADING with conviction, clarity and certainty. It’s a dangerous place to be when you forget your REASONS to fight FOR something better - for yourself, for your children, your family, your future generations - and you start fighting for all the wrong reasons. If we don’t learn to fight FOR the RIGHT reasons, we will eventually pass on the responsibility of breaking the chains of the past, healing generations of pain and wounding and installing NEW standards for what life gets to look like - onto someone else. In today's show we are talking aboutREMEMBERING what the fight is actually FOR RECLAIMING the territory of our minds, heart, homes and businessesThe hard truths about WHY most men and women are losing at the game of life and what’s really at stake (beside our selfish gains)How we give the ENEMY an INVITATION and foothold to WALK RIGHT IN... and take over.10 Signs and “Symptoms” to look for that tell us we are in dangerous territory of losing what is dear to usAn actionable 5 step roadmap to SHIFT the game, ignite your inner fire and WIN the battles  Notable quotes:You must retrain yourself to channel your creative power and energy back from things that are life sucking and eventually destructive INTO those that multiply LIFE in yourself and others.There is no clarity in the midst of chaos.Each of us has a God-given assignment and mission IN this SEASON of our lives.

Are you struggling to FEEL the love inside your relationship? Have you ever found yourself saying “Clearly you don't love me because you said this, or you did that!” How many times do we throw these daggers at each other? How many times do we allow ourselves to confuse someone else's behavior with our identity or worth?How many times have we operated from a distorted view of what love actually IS?I spent years of my life feeling terrible inside of relationships because I didn’t have an understanding of what love actually was. I had an idea. I had expectations. I had illusions I was holding on to. But I did not UNDERSTAND love, let alone loving behavior. Everything changed for me when I came back to the true power of LOVE. It was here that I learned the places I was out of integrity + the ingredients that were missing all along. In todays episode we unpack:Is LOVE enough inside relationships?What are the missing ingredients to successful relationships?Why doesn’t our behavior reflect the love we feel?“Feeling” Love vs Choosing to operate FROM LoveAre we leading from love or are we waiting on love to come to us?What would LOVE do or say?Are you holding on to a distorted view of love?The difference between bliss, ecstasy and love itselfHow do we hold a STATE of LOVETo 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/
