Season 2, Episode 13: Helping High Performers Trade Pressure for Presence and Lead with Purpose with Christine Jewell

Many high performers believe pressure is the price of purpose, but what if the opposite is true?

Joy sits down with Christine Jewell to talk about what happens when high-performing leaders stop striving and start partnering with God.

Christine’s journey isn’t about surface-level transformation, it’s about trading pressure for peace and performance for real presence.

After years of building businesses and chasing success, Christine hit a wall.

What followed was a radical invitation to co-create with God instead of continuing to grind.

Today, she helps executives build legacies rooted in truth, not hustle.
