Let me tell you more about Christine:

Christine Jewell is an author, keynote speaker, and faith based executive coach with over 25 years of experience in the fields of Health + Peak Performance, Entrepreneurship + Human Behaviour . She is also the host of the Breaking Chains Podcast.

As the Founder of Warriors Of The Heart, she specializes in guiding highly successful CEO’s and Impact driven leaders to break out of the superficial “life” they’ve built, redefine success and step into a whole new playing field grounded in eternal, life giving principles. 

Christine bridges the gap between the heart, fueled by faith & logic, fueled by practicality - to help people receive more than they could ever imagine and claim the rich life they were created for. 

As a mother of 6, ages 6-20, through a blended family, a wife, high level athlete, multiple business owner and entrepreneur since her 20’s, she is intimately familiar with the overwhelm and burnout that can come when building a ‘dream’ life, as well as what’s possible on the other side. 

Through years of trials, burning things down and rebuilding from the ashes of her past, she has ditched the rules of this world, following the calling on her heart to cultivate a life of total alignment - where there is more than enough time for her most meaningful work, extraordinary relationships, a legacy of impact - and plenty of rest!

Her vision is to create a community of Kingdom Minded Men and Women who are rising together as powerful co-creators rather than competitors - and are redefining the way we lead at work, in relationships, and every arena of life!

Have you ever wondered how to integrate faith into your business decisions? Are you curious about balancing ambition with self-care and family priorities? What does it mean to experience "kairos moments" in your entrepreneurial journey?

All the things we talk about each week on this podcast!
