    **********

    In this episode of the Breaking Chains podcast, I’m diving into the critical concept of capacity building. Whether you’re going through a season of intense growth, facing unprecedented demands, or simply feeling stretched beyond your limits, this episode is for you. I’m sharing from my own experiences as I navigate a period of immense pressure and demand, and I’ll walk you through the essential practices that help me—and can help you—build and maintain the capacity needed to thrive.

    We’ll explore physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual capacity, discussing practical strategies to increase your bandwidth and stay strong throughout your day, no matter what life throws your way. From intense, focused workouts to spiritual rest, breath work, and the power of connection, these practices are designed to help you not just survive but thrive.

    Key Takeaways:

    • Physical Capacity: Building physical stamina through intentional workouts that push you to your edge without depleting your energy. Learn how to train your body to handle pressure and stay in flow.
    • Mental Capacity: Maintain mental clarity and focus by managing your mental bandwidth. Discover how to avoid the pitfalls of scattered thinking and low processing power.
    • Emotional Capacity: Cultivate emotional resilience by nurturing your emotional bank account. How well are you holding space for those around you, and are you emotionally available to them?
    • Spiritual Capacity: Strengthen your faith muscle and spiritual discernment. Spiritual capacity is the foundation for everything else, and it’s crucial for maintaining peace and clarity.
    • Connection: Never go it alone. The importance of staying connected to God, your spouse, and your loved ones, especially during times of high demand.
    • Rest and Recovery: Prioritize rest and micro-rests to recover effectively and avoid burnout. Physical rest, spiritual rest, and rest in motion are all essential to building capacity.
    • The Power of Praise and Worship: Don’t forget to keep a light spirit, even in challenging times. Worship, sing, dance—these are powerful tools that can help you maintain a joyful heart and a clear mind.

    Notable Quotes:

    • "Capacity is not just about starting strong; it’s about being strong throughout the day and maintaining that strength consistently."
    • "When our capacity is low, we not only struggle to attract what we desire but also to hold onto it and multiply it."
    • "To build capacity, you must learn to slow down to speed up. Rest is not a luxury; it’s a necessity."
    • "We’re not designed to carry the burdens of the world alone. Stay connected to God and those who matter most."

    (Get over $200 in Bonus Trainings, Journals and resources when you order directly from us!)

    **********

    In this episode of the Breaking Chains podcast, I dive into the power of decisiveness and the impact of our emotional home—the default state where we subconsciously return. After observing over 150 people at various stages of personal and professional development, I’ve noticed a few key elements that create the greatest shifts in their lives, marriages, careers, and overall well-being.

    We’ll explore the importance of making a firm decision to change, recognizing your familiar emotional patterns, and understanding where these patterns originated. By rewiring our internal stories, we can step into a new way of living and leading. This episode is all about taking radical ownership of your life, breaking free from old stories, and establishing a new baseline that supports growth, harmony, and fulfillment.

    Key Takeaways:

    • Decisiveness is a Superpower: The moment you make a firm decision to change, everything starts to shift. It’s about drawing a line in the sand and committing to a new way of being, without entertaining old habits or excuses.
    • Identify Your Emotional Home: We all have a default emotional state that we unconsciously return to. Whether it’s frustration, chaos, or calm, recognizing this set point is crucial to creating lasting change.
    • Rewire Your Internal Stories: Understanding where your emotional patterns and mental operating systems come from allows you to rewrite your story and set a new baseline for your life. This is where real transformation begins.
    • The Power of Presence: Change starts at home—literally. By being present, slowing down, and consciously choosing how you show up, you can shift the atmosphere in your relationships, your teams, and your entire life.
    • Get Support and Structure: Real change often requires guidance. Surround yourself with mentors, coaches, and groups that elevate your thinking and push you to rise into the next level of life and leadership.

    Notable Quotes:

    • "Everything changes the moment you decide it does."
    • "We all have a familiar emotional home—an emotional set point we return to when we’re on autopilot."
    • "Nothing sucks worse than having awareness and choosing to stay where you were. That’s the definition of suffering."
    • "You can’t create a new future if you keep entertaining the stories of the past."

    If this episode resonated with you, and you’re ready to rewrite the story of your life, reach out to learn more about our coaching programs. Whether you’re just starting your journey or you’re an executive needing support at the top, we have the resources and structure to help you rise. Don’t settle for old patterns—take the next step toward the life and leadership God has for you.

  • Finding Your Competitive Edge with Brian Covey

    (Get over $200 in Bonus Trainings, Journals and resources when you order directly from us!)

    **********

    In this episode of the Breaking Chains podcast, I sit down with Brian Covey, EVP of Strategy and Development at Revolution Mortgage, a nationally recognized speaker, and a powerhouse in coaching and leadership and we are talking about BREAKING IT DOWN before you have a “BREAK DOWN!”

    Brian shares his incredible journey from being an overweight, insecure teenager to becoming a highly successful leader and family man. We dive into the concept of finding your competitive edge—how to identify and leverage your unique strengths to unlock your full potential.

    We talked about some of the most common limiting beliefs we must break out of in order to step into the power that God has already equipped you with. This conversation is packed with practical advice on how to transform breakdowns into breakthroughs, how to compete at the highest level in every area of your life, and how to stay focused and intentional in your daily actions.

    Key Takeaways:

    • Embrace Your Unique Story: God has equipped you with everything you need through your experiences, both good and bad. Your story is your strength, and it’s time to step into that power.
    • Break IT Down to experience Your Break Through: Don’t fear the breakdowns. Instead, use them as opportunities to analyze, reflect, and grow. This is where true transformation happens.
    • Competing vs. Participating: Don’t just go through the motions—commit fully to every goal, every task, and every relationship. Competing means showing up as your best self, every single day. YOU v YOU. 
    • Environment is Everything: Surround yourself with people who push you to grow and level up in all areas of life—spiritually, relationally, and professionally.
    • Be Where Your Feet Are: Cultivate presence in your conversations and actions. The quality of your focus and attention can transform not just your outcomes, but also the lives of those around you.

    Notable Quotes:

    • "God has uniquely equipped you and qualified you through whatever you’ve been through."
    • "Breakdowns are opportunities to break down the playbook and make necessary changes."
    • "When you compete, you give your best in that moment, rather than just participating and going through the motions."
    • "Surround yourself with the right environment; it’s the shortcut to growth."
    • "Be where your feet are—focus on being present and intentional in every moment."

  • 10 Characteristics of Kingdom Power Couples!

    Order my "Book, Drop the Armor" www.dropthearmorbook.com

    (Get over $200 in Bonus Trainings, Journals and resources when you order directly from us!)

    **********

    In today’s episode of the Breaking Chains podcast, I’m diving into what it truly means to be a "Kingdom Power Couple." I’ve seen so many couples, including myself at one point, get caught up in the world’s superficial definitions of success and power. But today, I want to shift our focus to something deeper—how we can align our relationships with timeless Kingdom principles to create a bond that’s unified, purpose-driven, and reflective of God’s design.

    I’ll be sharing from my own experiences and spiritual insights, talking about 10 Key Characteristics that set Kingdom Power Couples apart from those who struggle to keep connection, authenticity and forward momentum together. 

    Whether your relationship is thriving or you’re struggling to find harmony,these strategies can elevate your partnership to new heights. 

    By focusing on unity, speaking life over each other, and establishing peace in your home, you can transform your marriage into a true partnership that thrives in every area of life.

    Key Takeaways:

    • Unified Vision and Mission: As a Kingdom Power Couple, it’s essential to be united in vision, values, and mission. It’s not just about our individual goals, but about a shared, God-sized vision that encompasses both of our dreams and so much more.
    • Speaking Life Over Each Other: The words we speak have incredible power. I can’t emphasize enough the importance of speaking life and victory over our partner and our collective challenges, instead of falling into the trap of negativity and criticism, grumbling and complaining!
    • Being Fierce Protectors of Your Marriage: We must be ruthless about our boundaries, protecting our relationship from external threats and distractions.
    • Establishing Peace as the NORM: We are always either  normalizing or chaos in our home. Creating a calm, grounded environment is the breeding ground for clarity, safe communication and win/win situations - aka: WINNING TOGETHER - rather than creating win/lose scenarios. 
    • Praying Together: Prayer activates the super natural!! It is a spiritual tool for uniting our efforts spiritually, emotionally, and mentally. When we pray together, we not only align our hearts and minds with God’s will for our lives but we make unshakable agreements and take over territories together. Commit and learn how to PRAY powerful prayers together! 

    Notable Quotes:

    • "We are not just about our dreams and our visions but asking, ‘God, what are your dreams for us?’"
    • "The words we speak over each other can create more of what’s already showing up or start to redirect the atmosphere."
    • "Kingdom Power Couples are ruthless about their boundaries to protect the integrity of their marriage."
    • "Focus more on what’s done privately than what’s done publicly. That’s where the real strength of your relationship is built."

    keywords: power couple, marriage, unified vision, speaking life, wise counsel, establishing peace, knowing roles, protecting territory, praying together, dependency on God

    In this episode of the Breaking Chains podcast, I dive into the topic of discerning what truly matters and strategies to help with this skill. We talk about what discernment means, how it benefits us in times of chaos, and why it's essential for effective leadership. This episode includes five critical questions that act as guardrails, helping you to sharpen your discernment abilities. By understanding and learning these skills, you can navigate through life's complexities with clarity and confidence. I also touch on the significance of spiritual peace, aligning actions with God's word, and making faith-based decisions.

    Key Takeaways:
    • Understanding Discernment: Discernment is the ability to grasp and judge well, distinguishing between right and almost right.
    • Cultivating Discernment: Regular prayer, meditation, and reading the word of God are essential practices for developing discernment.
    • Five Critical Questions: Key questions to ensure your decisions are aligned with spiritual peace and divine guidance.

    Notable Quotes:
    1. "Discernment is not knowing the difference between right and wrong. It's knowing the difference between right and almost right."
    2. "In times such as this, it can feel very tumultuous and chaotic. Discernment helps us know what to do and when to do it."
    3. "What you give your attention to is what you entertain, and what you entertain, you invite into your life."
    4. "Discernment is both a gift and a skill set that requires practice and development over time."
    5. "The voice of the Holy Spirit is a gentle whisper; He’s not competing for your attention."

  • Intentionality, Integrity & Purpose-Driven Leadership

    *Special Episode* I had the pleasure of getting interviewed by my husband, Mark Jewell. Together, we unpack intentionality, integrity, and purpose-driven leadership. 

    We talk about how a distorted relationship with time and the constant addiction to cramming “more” actually robs us of experiencing a rich and fulfilling life. I emphasize the significance of aligning our thoughts, actions and emotions to our core values as  the door to a more fulfilling, purpose-driven life. I also address common identity crises and the struggles of modern leadership, offering a path to greater harmony both at home and work.

    Key Takeaways:
    • Conscious Intentionality: Slowing down for greater awareness allows one to design a life in alignment with core values.
    • Relationship with Time: A distorted relationship with time, propelled by constant rush, hinders mindful and intentional living.
    • Balancing Life: True balance comes not from finite adjustments but from living in an integrated, value-aligned manner.
    • Identity and Leadership: Effective leadership stems from a clear, unwavering sense of identity and purpose that surpasses the need for others' approval.
    • Spiritual Integration: Intimacy with God or a higher spiritual source provides inexhaustible wisdom, peace, and guidance crucial for transformational leadership.

    Notable Quotes:
    1. "To be intentional is to consciously slow down so that you can speed up and walk in alignment, walk in integrity, create a life by design." – Christine Jewell
    2. "When we worship the things of the world, we become puppets of the world." – Christine Jewell
    3. "Are you a walking, talking contradiction of your values, or are you a walking, talking reflection of your values?" – Christine Jewell
    4. "I'm a very deep person. I like to go deep and wide with everything. Our relationship, our work, our faith, everything." – Christine Jewell
    5. "Who you serve, owns you. And if you're going to be a leader, whose influence are you bowing to?" – Christine Jewell

    In today’s episode, I’m joined by Cory Carlson, author of "Win at Home First" and "Rise and Go." Together, we dive into balancing work and home life, leveraging faith-based principles to foster holistic, integrated living.

    In this episode, Cory and I discuss the challenges executives face, including the myth that one has to choose between professional success and family wellness. Cory shares insights from his personal journey, talking about how past mistakes have shaped his understanding of leadership and life. He highlights actionable strategies and provides a sneak peek into the frameworks laid out in his books. As we explore themes of presence, intentionality, and the role of faith in personal development, you’ll find valuable takeaways to enhance your own life.

    Key Takeaways:
    • Balancing Work and Family: Success does not have to come at the expense of family life. Strategies such as intentional scheduling and compartmentalization help achieve balance.
    • Being Present: Whether at work or home, being fully engaged and present is essential. Avoid distractions and dedicate focused time to each aspect of your life.
    • Role of Faith: Cory's personal mantra, "God has the night shift," shows the importance of faith and trusting that God oversees our endeavors, providing peace and balance.
    • Leadership at Home: It's crucial to actively participate in family life through regular date nights and being open about work challenges and successes with your spouse and children.
    • Recovery from Setbacks: Drawing from his book "Rise and Go," Cory shares how resilience in the face of setbacks is essential for leaders, reinforcing that getting back up quickly is key to ongoing success.

    Notable Quotes:
    1. "Wisdom is spelled W-I-S-D-U-M-B from the dumb mistakes we make." – Cory Carlson
    2. "I control the input. God controls the impact." – Cory Carlson
    3. "A great spouse will double your impact, or a bad spouse can cut your impact in half." – Cory Carlson
    4. "God is abundant by nature, and if you live in alignment with His ways, balance between work and home is possible." – Cory Carlson
    5. "Our mess becomes our message, and our pain becomes our platform." – Cory Carlson
