About this episode
We’ve known Grammy-nominated singer-songwriter Jewel since her 1995 debut album, Pieces of You , which went 12-times platinum and includes hits such as “Who Will Save Your Soul” and “You Were Meant for Me.” Now, she is gearing up to release her first studio album in seven years, Freewheelin' Woman , on April 15. Throughout her career in music, though, Jewel has added a few more accolades to her name, including New York Times best-selling author and mental health advocate. As the latter, she’s worked alongside her Inspiring Children Foundation for two decades, providing mentorship and mental health resources to at-risk youth and equipping them with a mindfulness tool kit she discovered herself during her most trying moments in life—and there were plenty. On this episode of Second Life , find out how Jewel has navigated the highs and lows of her entire multifaceted career and how, by prioritizing her happiness above all else, she’s making her life her best hit.
