Aubrey’s Wedding Recap!!! Vic's BFF Shares All Her Favorite Moments & Advice for Brides

Before she was a Grammy-nominated singer-songwriter, Jewel was a homeless teenager fighting to survive. Her journey from instability to global recognition is a masterclass in resilience and radical accountability. After skyrocketing to fame in the ’90s (which, she quickly realized, wasn’t really her thing) Jewel turned her pain into purpose through her mental health advocacy and the Inspiring Children’s Foundation. In this episode, Jewel and Victoria dive deep into how to stop feeling like a victim of your circumstances, why “don’t waste a good disaster” has become her life mantra, practical tools to reframe anxiety into something useful, and how to build true resilience without losing trust in the magic of the universe. Tune in to be grounded, inspired, and reminded of your own power to transform hardship into healing.
