Today I am honored to welcome Ben Utecht as a guest on the show and today we are talking about championship mindset, leadership, and unshakable culture!  Ben is not only a celebrated Super Bowl champion but also stands out for his remarkable leadership qualities which earned him the "Uncommon Leader Award" from the esteemed NFL Hall of Fame coach Tony Dungy.

After an injury ended his NFL career, Ben pivoted into the corporate world as a sought-after speaker within the Fortune 500 arena, becoming the Chief Culture Officer for True North Private Equity, a family of companies whose portfolio currently includes 28 companies across 5 industries. Utecht is also an owner in the top US Ninja Fitness/Entertainment Franchise, Conquer Ninja Gyms, where he oversees all culture systems that impact every location.

Key Takeaways:

The things that break us are the things that make us: every challenge, every injury, and every transition is an opportunity for growth and surrender...

You may WANT it ALL…

But are you WILLING?

The great marriage, the self leading team, the guilt free time off and memories with your kids, the mental and physical fitness, FREEDOM to work on the things that actually light  you up. The laser FOCUS to innovate rather than be putting out fires daily… The intimacy with God. 

A SPIRIT that feels ALIVE inside you. My guess is You WANT it ALL. 

But the question I have for you today is - Are you WILLING to do what is REQUIRED to receive it, build it and multiply it? 

You would think that the “higher” you get the more willing people are to DITCH their OLD ways in order to make room for the NEW thing they want to normalize. the more willing they are to take the “risk”, LET GO and LEAN IN to the next evolution  of growth or depth, right?

Actually - what I’ve found is that often (not always) the MORE success and stuff someone has accumulated the...

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....

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...

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:

• Exploring Internal Programming: Understanding the mental and emotional blueprints that influence our approach to...

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. 
• Why we run to and relish in promiscuity  
• The generational baton of affairs
• Fighting...

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...

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...

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...

Ready to NEXT LEVEL your Marriage? 

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

Today, I'm bringing the energy and our word of the year from Winter Park, Colorado, where Mark and I are doing our annual play and purpose getaway for our anniversary week. In today’s episode I am revealing our word of the year - SUPERNATURAL UNITY.

And I'm here to encourage you to not make this time of year about just another calendar flip. I'm challenging you to see this as the kickoff to a fresh season and upgraded chapter in your life as both an individual - and as a POWER Couple!
