Jewels says live performances are worth supporting, whether they're music, dance, comedy or theatre and if more of us attended early shows, more shows would be available and we could all get to bed at a reasonable hour.Yes, she's definitely getting old. Too old to accomplish anything heroic or start a night out after 9:00 pm.email: jewelssays@gmail.comInstagram: @jewelssays

Jewels says marriage should not be an aspirational goal, you don’t need a wedding to wear a dress and have a party if that’s really the point and there are a lot of good reasons to think long and hard before legally binding yourself to a partner. And a lot of stupid non-reasons that motivate some of us to do it anyway.Plus the romantic story of her parents’ wedding day. email: jewelssays@gmail.comInstagram: @jewelssays

Michael Esposito II is back for the second half of our chat about some intrusive, even embarrassing thoughts we have, like checking people out, irrational worrying, parental fear of letting go, their children's safety... maybe you can relate.email: jewelssays@gmail.comInstagram: @jewelssaysMichael's Instagram: @mespo2

Singer and actor Michael Esposito II joins Jewels again for a great grand and glorious chat about those weird intrusive thoughts we all have, Michael's album, hot men, OnlyFans, the lure of the ocean... we chatted for so long we needed two episodes.This episode is part one.email: jewelssays@gmail.comInstagram: @jewelssaysMichael's Insta: @mespo2Episode References:Michael's album: Night and Day Jazz Standards

Jewels says she hasn't quite yet come down to earth after Mamma Mia and shares some of the trials and favourite moments from both on stage and backstage. Her experience was also a reminder that the world is still full of wonderful young people and you're never too old until you're dead.email: jewelssays@gmail.comInstagram: @jewelssaysEpisode References:Kelowna Actors Studio - Education

Jewels says most of us don’t remember details as well as we think, it’s hard to remember everything you’ve said to whom and a child’s world today is very different from their parents’ and grandparents’. Best to adapt rather than stubbornly clinging to old ideas and mistakes. It's better for us too. email: jewelssays@gmail.comInstagram: @jewelssays
