Jewels says you're going to love hearing Aidan's perspective on how to approach interviews, build a career in television and comedy writing, happiness and the importance of humour. Plus I talk more than I should have in this episode, but... I'm a chatter, what can I say? Check out Aidan's monthly show Thirst Trap at the Bloor West Comedy Bar in Tor…

Jewels says she might be a bit of a hoarder when it comes to certain things, and even though haute couture is out of the question for most of us, we could all probably afford better quality if we bought less stuff. But don’t underestimate the value of costume worthy clothing. email: jewelssays@gmail.com Instagram: @jewelssays Episode References: Ni…

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@gma…

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 he…

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.com Instagram: @jewelssays Michael's Instagram: @mespo2 Hosted on Acast.

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.com Instagram: @jewelssays Episode Ref…

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.com Instagram: @jewelssays…

Jewels says she sometimes doesn't understand why children think the way they often do, even though she was an irrational child herself once upon a time, and even though lice aren't a health risk, they're gross and caused her nightmares back in the day. And it's possible that if a child looks excessively unkempt, people might subconsciously treat th…

Jewels chats with Kelowna Actors Studio Resident Music Director Spencer "appropriately named" Bach about his passion for playing, teaching, learning, listening to and sharing music and particularly musical theatre. Thank you for the music. If lockdown taught us anything, it was the importance of art. OH and is Spencer related to Johann Sebastian? W…

Jewels says Kelowna has some pretty impressive sports and showbiz venues, and she especially appreciates the Kelowna Actors Studio's investment in the technical side of their productions. The tech team are the unsung heroes. PLUS: Don't buy Mamma Mia tickets from resellers who inflate prices or are selling fake tickets!! YES THIS IS HAPPENING. emai…

Jewels says one of the great things about an extended stay in Kelowna and being in Mamma Mia is the fabulous women she has met, one of whom is today's guest, Delphine Litke. Delphine is an actor, podcaster, a beautiful singer, a beautiful person, and one of Jewels' newest fun friends. Instagram: @jewelssays email: jewelssays@gmail.com Episode Refer…

Jewels says even though the Canadian public health care system is better than nothing, and hospitalization probably won’t bankrupt you, it’s no day at the beach trying to get medical care for something relatively inconsequential. And she loves having a chin again. email: jewelssays@gmail.com Instagram: @jewelssays Episode References: Jewels Says: R…

Jewels says love is blind - well, she's obviously not the first person to say that, but she AGREES that love is blind. When you love someone, even if that someone is a dog, they look so beautiful to you. Plus a less than satisfying - but final - scam conclusion. email: jewelssays@gmail.com Instagram: @jewelssays Episode References: Jackie Pirico's …

Jewels says JFL Montreal is BACK, even if on a small scale - mostly men though - and as pride month wraps up, the complainers might need to be reminded of what’s been happening to women’s reproductive rights that we’ve taken for granted, and if you don’t like what people post on social media, you are free to ignore it. We all make mistakes and life…

Jewels says she felt a bit of the jewels jinx when she traveled to Kelowna, but is she being petty? Should you stand your ground when someone invades your space or just step aside and let them? Should you feel guilty for standing firm? Maybe the choice is to feel guilty or resentful. email: jewelssays@gmail.com Instagram: @jewelssays Episode Refere…

Jewels says the Ashley Madison documentary may be more layered than you might expect... it raises issues of hypocrisy, security, monogamy, marriage and has a few interesting characters. And whoever said dogs are just dumb animals has never truly known or loved a dog. Their personalities are as unique as ours in many ways, and her temporary charge, …

Jewels says it would be nice not to care about looking old, but she's pretty happy to be back to looking like herself. Is that shallow? Maybe, but it's ok to appreciate the icing on a cake and still be grateful for everything else that really matters. email: jewelssays@gmail.com Instagram: @jewelssays Episode References: Dr. Dominic Bray Hayley McG…

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, dar…

Jewels says she’s struggling a bit with the no caffeine, low salicylate pre-facelift diet, maybe it’s not such a bad thing to be high maintenance and it’s important to support people who have the courage to create something. email: jewelssays@gmail.com Instagram: @jewelssays Episode References: Tom Hearn on Tour Edinburgh Fringe Hot Docs - Document…

Jewels says don't judge a place by what you see on the news, 'news' or clickbait.

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.com Instagram: @jewelssays Host…

Jewels says she has a hard time understanding a lot of things, like why some people seriously hate live theatre, or adults who are fine with shirking responsibility, or how the world will ever emerge from violence and chaos. email: jewelssays@gmail.com Instagram: @jewelssays Episode References: London show ticket recommendations from a listener (no…

Jewels chats with acclaimed comedy writer, Heidi Brander. Heidi says a TV comedy writers’ room is a lot like it’s depicted on 30 Rock. If you aspire to a seat in one of those rooms, you should know that no one wants to read anything, so stand up comedy was Heidi's path to writing jobs. Plus, like it or not, making connections matters more than you …

Jewels says romantic love is overrated and sometimes even dangerous, so Valentine’s day should celebrate ALL the loves in our lives – friends, family, pets and especially the children in our lives.

Jewels says we all feel self doubt, it's unkind to judge different parenting styles and unconscionable to undermine parents. Most of us are just trying to do our best.
