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!

In todays episode we unpacked:

Our latest season of SETTLING. 

• Not for ‘less than’ what God had for us, but to PREPARE us for what’s ahead!
• What is actually meant and why it was necessary for new foundations

The Journey from Fierce Independence to Unification in ALL arenas!

• "Supernatural Unity," inviting the Holy Spirit...

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’...

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...

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...

What's IN a LEGACY? 

A legacy often thought of as generational wealth or personal property, that is left to future generations. However, beyond the legal and financial contexts, the term LEGACY refers to the lasting impact, influence, or contributions that a person makes during their lifetime, which will continue to have significance and value long after they are gone. 

YOUR Legacy is essentially what you leave behind as a mark of your existence and the imprint you make on the world!

Today I am inviting you to really dig and consider what is the imprint and lasting impact you are leaving on your children, your grandchildren, your employees, community and the world. EACH and every one of us is creating a legacy and each of us will leave one. 

The question is not IF we are leaving one, but WHAT IT IS. 

This is the perfect time to reflect, and if necessary REFOCUS ourselves to be more intentional about signature we are leaving on those...

Welcome back to the show, warriors! Today I am joined by a remarkable guest! Staci Wallace is an eight-time author, speaker who has shared the stage with 5 US presidents, and CEO of a global consulting and training company.

Today she shares her insights into what it means to be "fueled by fire" and how her journey as a kingdom entrepreneur has been shaped by a deep connection to the Holy Spirit. This a MUST listen.
