Childhood abuse and trauma powered an alcoholism that would nearly defeat Jewels. Yet Jewels' assures us that even when we lose those things that give shape to our soul-belonging, the need for touch and safety in our own home-we can go on to devise a new way of being that surpasses our childhood haunts.
Imagine growing up with a childhood filled with unimaginable trauma and then using that pain as a catalyst for transformation. In this episode of 'Beyond Recovery', Matt Gardiner sits down with Jewels, a woman who has turned her tumultuous past into a story of strength and hope. Jewels’ life was marked by early abuse and a family suicide attempt, which led her mother to move them into a new, yet equally troubling, family environment.
The relentless trauma she faced fueled an addiction that seemed insurmountable. But Jewels didn’t let her past define her future. Instead, she chose recovery, sexual liberation, and even entered the competitive world of professional bodybuilding. Throughout their conversation, Matt and Jewels explore the profound challenges of finding a sense of belonging in recovery. They discuss the healing power of sharing one's story and how spirituality can play a crucial role in the journey to sobriety.
Jewels emphasizes the importance of owning your story, no matter how painful it might be. Her message is clear: 'We don’t have to be defined by our past. We can create a new story for ourselves, one rooted in hope, healing, and love'. If you’re searching for inspiration and a testament to human resilience, this episode offers a powerful reminder that it’s possible to forge a new path, no matter where you started.
