living the dream with author and trauma surviver Jewels

Send us Fan MailJewels is a woman who has lived two lives in one lifetime. The first part was a life of childhood abuse and trauma which grew into the full-blown disease of alcoholism. Jewels life was out of control and she was circling the drain. The second part is life today and how Jewels urgently worked through her past and now have a wonderful life as a result. But her story is not your average girl gets sober story. She didn’t just get sober. She created a life of truth and authenticity. Her story is about removing the expectations and the dogma of society and instead being guided by love and empathy. Some may call Jewels life risky, unethical, and totally against the norm. But she see it otherwise. She's in a very loving open-minded marriage, she's sexually liberated because of her childhood trauma, and she's about to compete in nationals this year in the NPC figure division at 49! Just a snapshot of her life today. She's always enjoyed the work of Gabby Bernstein, Oprah, and Wayne Dyer. She would love to see her book as supplemental reading in liberal arts classes, such as Women’s and Sexuality Studies, or Adolescent and Teen Psychology. But ultimately her target audience is the girl in the back of the room who feels she’s the only one. She’s the person Jewels desires to reach.
