What’s up Hardcore Humans! This is the first episode of Season 3 and we are talking with four-time Grammy-nominated musician, singer, songwriter, actress and author, Jewel.  In this episode, we talk about relationships and Jewel shares how she deals with those that are disappointing and sometimes damaging. Jewel is someone who has been very open about having faced extreme hardship in her relationships. She has talked about growing up with a father who was an alcoholic and physically abusive. She has also shared how her mother stole money from Jewel and caused her to be millions of dollars in debt despite having a thriving career. During our conversation, we talk about how she copes with the feelings of loss, loneliness and anxiety that can come from toxic relationships. And Jewel talks about her secret for coping – which is that she sees this pain and anxiety not as something that is wrong with her or something to be ignored but as something that is her ally and teacher that helps her grow as she continues on her journey of living her authentic life.  In the Hardcore Humanism therapy and coaching program, our goal is to empower you to pursue your purpose and lead a fulfilling and authentic life. And on the Hardcore Humanism Podcast, we talk with and learn from artists such as Jewel who share how they have overcome obstacles on their own purpose-driven journey.   *****  Hardcore Humanism Newsletter: https://lp.constantcontactpages.com/su/GBmf0iU/HardcoreHumanismSignUp Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/hardcorehumanism/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/HardcoreHumanism/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/hardcorhumanism Learn more about your ad choices.
