Jewels says she's always been a bit strange, and talks about the self imposed pressure to make up for wasted opportunities and potential. If Ethel Merman can put out a disco album at age 71, maybe Jewels Sings wasn't such a ridiculous idea after all.

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.

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.

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 her parents’ wedding day.

Jewels says she hasn't quite yet come down to earth after Mamma Mia and shares some of the trials and favourite moments from both on stage and backstage.
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.

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.

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 them as though they're not cared for.

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? We may never know.

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.

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.
