Got Funk?Not the amazing, Kool & the Gang kind of funk....But that unmotivated, not doing the things you want to do, and not taking action to reach your goals kind of funk.Because....yeah - same here.Sometimes it's just a little blip on the radar. But if you're finding that you're stuck in this place for waaaay too long, then this episode is for you.Friendly disclaimer: this is NOT my typical podcast episode. It's literally a conversation together where I'm walking my dog Onyx. Meaning, it's totally off the cuff, unscripted, and with audio that's, well, us having a conversation via headphones. So do with that as you may. ;)Here's the thing - when we have goals that are important to us, but find ourselves in a funk, it's not great. It feels bad (of course), AND it doesn't get us to where we want to be in life. So this episode is all about what to do if you find yourself here. Because, that, my friend, is exactly where I was. And I'm proof positive that these tools work. BOOM! Let's dive in....In This Episode You Will LearnThe problem with being in a funk & unmotivated (2:20)Getting stuck in a funk long-term (because time moves faster than we realize) (4:55)The re-examination and getting to the root of what's going on(6:00)The beauty of responsibility (8:13)What to do if you save yourself for last (9:58)Meeting your own needs to get out of a funk (11:39)Pushing the easy button with the stories we tell ourselves (15:07) Baby stepping your way out of the funk (17:22)Let’s Connect!InstagramLinkedInBest Version of Yourself CommunityFree Trainings!

Welcome to The Jewell Show! I am your host, Jewell Siebert and I want this podcast to be like grabbing coffee with a friend – full of great advice and stories. I will share my personal stories and bring on fantastic guests to discuss the everyday things we can do to help us be the person we want to be. Everyone can relate to having feelings of self-doubt and insecurity. Goodnes, I even had a moment of self-doubt when I sat down to record this first episode. The point isn’t to focus on getting rid of the self-doubt and insecurities, but to learn how to navigate through them. How we make our choices every day can help us in learning to navigate these feelings and take the steering wheel from insecurity. And in doing so, you create the space to live a life that honors  your soul, and makes you happy to get out of bed in the morning. In this first episode, I tell you what The Jewell Show will be about, my background, my life-changing moment that motivated me to start over from scratch, and a tool that I swear by to help keep me focused on making the most of my time every day. Listen in and enjoy!   In This Episode You Will LearnWhat The Jewell Show is about (2:16)The most important thing to know about me (5:42)How I realized I was only happy-ish in my career in the Army (7:28)The moment that changed my life (14:46)How I discovered my purpose (17:18)The simple tool I use to help me optimize my time (19:40) Let’s Connect!InstagramLinkedInBest Version of Yourself CommunityFree Trainings!
