Jewel’s unique experiences and insights offer valuable takeaways for anyone navigating the often non-linear process of change.
Jewel and Melissa dive into the realities of setting boundaries—not just for the benefit of others, but for yourself. Jewel shares how the process of changing habits is rarely a straight line, and setbacks are a normal part of growth.

Jewel’s perspective on empathy and authentic living provides refreshing insights on how to maintain your own emotional health while still being there for others.
