I am more powerful than I ever imagined
In this episode of 'God Took Me to Las Vegas,' host Randy Mortensen sits down with Jewels, the award-winning author of 'The Making of a Woman.' Jewels is not just an author; she’s a speaker and bodybuilder with a powerful story of resilience and transformation. She candidly shares her journey from a traumatic childhood and battling alcoholism to finding strength and purpose in sobriety.
Jewels describes her life as 'two lives in one lifetime,' where the first part was filled with chaos and the second part is about reclaiming her life and thriving. Her raw honesty about childhood abuse, struggles with addiction, and the arduous path to recovery is both heart-wrenching and inspiring. Jewels opens up about her early years, marked by abuse and turmoil, including a chilling account of a near-family suicide orchestrated by her father.
Her story takes you through her turbulent teenage years, multiple relocations, and eventual escape from an abusive environment. Despite these challenges, Jewels found a way to rise above her circumstances. Her turning point came with the realisation that she is more powerful than she ever imagined. This episode isn't just about recounting past hardships; it's also about hope and the possibility of change.
Jewels talks about her passion for bodybuilding, which she took up at 40, initially to get rid of cellulite but eventually led her to national competitions. She also shares the motivation behind writing her book during the COVID-19 lockdown, aiming to offer hope and guidance to others facing similar struggles. If you’re looking for a story that embodies resilience and the transformative power of self-belief, this episode is a must-listen.
Jewels’ journey is a testament to the strength of the human spirit and the importance of never giving up, no matter how tough life gets.
