Julie McCarthy: Jewels Says

Jewels chats with comedian Andrew Johnston on non-profit financial woes and grifters, some of the ups and downs of self made content and the importance of creative work in all our lives, stage time and relentlessly putting one creative step in front of the other for its own sake, even if - or especially if - you feel like you're in the deepest, darkest rut. Do it for yourself because the streamers pay a pittance.Plus Andrew's new album!

Jewels says don't judge a place by what you see on the news, 'news' or clickbait. Most people are great and even though she hasn't been to Florida in over 20 years, one weekend in St. Augustine left her wanting more.email: jewelssays@gmail.comInstagram: @jewelssaysEpisode References:Dr. Gabor MatéSt. Augustine

Jewels says Kerrie must have been born with BDE as she clearly demonstrated throughout her childhood. Don't feel badly if you don't have it though... you're in good company. It wouldn't be special if it weren't at least a little bit rare.email: jewelssays@gmail.comInstagram: @jewelssaysEpisode References:Hidden Brain: The Ugly Side of Beauty

Jewels says even though she’s happy to be aging, and grateful for her good health, she has never been able to shake the self consciousness about the visible part of the process. And now, Katherine has come to the rescue.email: jewelssays@gmail.comInstagram: @jewelssaysEpisode References:Dr. Dominic BrayInstagram: @drdominicbrayClinique de ModeInstagram: @kerriemarieryan

Jewels says she used to enjoy special occasions a lot more when her children were young, even though she was a bit of a frazzled mess at times and a bit overwhelmed with so many responsibilities. Like the daily grind of making food. And guilt because we should be grateful to have so much food. email: jewelssays@gmail.comInstagram: @jewelssays
