Julie McCarthy: Jewels Says

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. email: jewelssays@gmail.com Instagram: @jewelssays E...

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.

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: Renovation Reminiscing Hosted on Acast. See acast.c...

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 Instagram: @jackiepirico Hosted on Acast.

Jewels says sometimes the most mundane things can be frustrating when your life is too easy. Like finding an acceptable swimsuit or suffering in insufferable stilettos. email: jewelssays@gmail.com Instagram: @jewelssays Episode References: The Shoe Doesn't Walk Celine Hosted on Acast.

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 isn’t fair, so we might as well relaaaaax and let...

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 References: Okanagan Valley, BC Mamma Mia! in Kelowna Mu...

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, Snoop, is no exception. email: jewelssays@gmail.co...

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 McGee Patric McGroarty - Saint Clarens Records Jewels...

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...

Jewels chats with Ben Afleck about podcasts, travel, their shared love of theatre, Ben’s diverse professional and creative successes thus far and the reticence, risks and rewards of creating something new.

Jewels chats with her firstborn, Katherine, about plastic surgery, cosmetic enhancements and specifically, her greatest gift yet, aside from the obvious - the facelift - what it was like, the results so far and how her recovery is going. No more melting candle. email: jewelssays@gmail.com Instagram: @jewelssays Katherine: @kathbum Episode References Dr. Dominic Bray @drdominicbray - you need to se...

Jewels chats this week with Grandfather Abe the Babe about his perspective on some of the differences between women’s and men’s expectations in a relationship and what motivates men to cheat.  email: jewelssays@gmail.com Instagram: @jewelssays Episode References: Chidera Eggerue: @theslumflower Hosted on Acast.

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 - Documentaries , not Hot Doctors JFL Montreal - No shows be...

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.com Instagram: @jewelssays Episode References: Dr. Gabor Maté St. Augustine Hosted on Acast.

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.com Instagram: @jewelssays Episode References: Hidden Brain: The Ugly Side of Beauty Hosted on Acast.

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.com Instagram: @jewelssays Episode References: Dr. Dominic Bray Instagram: @drdominicbray Clinique de Mode Instagram: @kerriemarieryan Hosted on Acast.

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 Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more...

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 (not confirmed by me): ShowFilmFirst Theatre Mo...

Jewels says it's her own fault she was scammed but thankfully it was for small sum.

Jewels says she completely understands why her agent dropped her and reminds you that even though it’s never too late to try new things, it’s better to start young, because your future can take some unexpected turns. And she imagines a life with her mother Dorothy if things had gone differently for them both. email: jewelssays@gmail.com Instagram: @jewelssays Episode References: Grey Gardens Docum...

Jewels says maybe stubborn independence doesn't serve us well, we really only have choices if we believe we have choices and the social media companies need to be more accountable for customer safety. email: jewelssays@gmail.com Instagram: @jewelssays Episode References: The Slumflower Hour Podcast Hosted on Acast.

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 think. email: jewelssays@gmail.com Instagram: @jew...

Jewels says she has the three year rule for a reason, it shouldn’t take anyone that long to get out of a relationship with someone who treats you disrespectfully and it’s worth challenging some of the ideas you grew up with. Plus some lessons from a former relationship that soured over 40 years ago. Email: jewelssays@gmail.com Instagram: @jewelssays Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more...

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. Today's special guest, Kalie, shares some of her insight from working with children. It's possible to be firm, fair and fun. If in doubt, sing, don’t shout! If you have the privilege of hearing Kalie si...
