Through studying psychology, self-esteem, confidence, and belonging, and with the guidance of her first coach, she discovered what Brene Brown calls true belonging: confidently sharing who you are and feeling strong even when standing alone.
Today, Jewel is committed to helping over 10,000 people create true belonging within themselves and connect more deeply with others.
