What if the very pursuit of your purpose is what's keeping you from it? In this episode, Jewelle explores how presence—not pursuit—becomes the pathway to fulfilling your divine design. Through the lens of Pixar's Soul, Jesus's unhurried ministry, and the wisdom of Florence Scovel Shinn, she reveals why 91% of people experience "purpose anxiety" and how practicing presence offers a different way forward. Learn the P.A.U.S.E. Practice—a 2-minute embodiment tool to ground you into the present moment where God's voice, intuition, and discernment become crystal clear. If you've been chasing your purpose instead of inhabiting it, this episode will shift everything.

🔑 Key Message

The more present we are, the more our purpose is revealed—because presence creates the conditions for hearing God, accessing intuition, and taking aligned action that moves us into the Divine Design for our lives.

✨ What You’ll Walk Away With

• A reframe on purpose: It's not something you chase, but something that unfolds through presence

• Three ways the pursuit of purpose becomes a trap (making it an idol, perfectionism, disconnection from now)

• Jesus's model for unhurried, interruptible, withdrawal-centered ministry

• The P.A.U.S.E. Practice—a practical tool to ground into the present moment anytime, anywhere

• 
  

By the end of this episode, you’ll see how:

• Presence activates spiritual discernment, intuition, and the ability to hear God's still, small voice

• Your body holds wisdom and intelligence that your analytical mind can't access on its own

• • Living in the present moment isn't passive—it's practicing availability to God and God's plan for your life

  
  

  Meant for your reflection:

  As you listen, consider:

  1. Where have I been chasing my purpose instead of allowing it to unfold?

  2. What would change if I believed that being present is more important than being productive?

  3. How can I practice the P.A.U.S.E. framework this week when I notice myself future-tripping or striving?

As a companion to Episode 7, this minisode features a fun and gentle thoughtwork practice designed to help you shift your emotional and energetic state with intention. Using the Focus Wheel Process—a tool created by Abraham Hicks—Jewelle guides you in real time through a simple but powerful exercise that helps you move from emotional disruption back into grounded alignment with your Highest Self.

Through small, believable shifts in thought, this practice helps you draw near to God, acknowledge what you’re feeling, soften your resistance, and gradually attune yourself back to your energetic homebase. It’s another form of spiritual and emotional hygiene—cleaning up the inside of your cup by choosing thoughts that reflect who you truly are and how you desire to feel.

In this episode, Jewelle reframes the familiar phrase “cleanliness is next to Godliness,” revealing its true spiritual meaning: tending to the inside of your cup. Through Christ-centered insight and honest self-reflection, she explores what it really means to keep your heart, mind, emotions, and energy clean so you can stay close to God—and close to your Highest Self.

This is a grounded, liberating conversation about spiritual and emotional hygiene: the daily, devotional work of becoming aware of what you carry, discerning what’s yours, releasing what isn’t, and attuning back to the Divine presence within you. It’s an invitation to recognize that your inner cleanliness is not about perfection—it’s about connection, stewardship, and cultivating the kind of inner world that allows God to move through you freely and fully.

🔑 Key Message

Inner cleanliness is the real path to Godliness—because the state of your heart, mind, and spirit shapes everything you do and everyone you touch.

✨ What You’ll Walk Away With

1. A deeper understanding of the true, spiritual meaning behind “cleanliness is next to Godliness”
   
2. Encouragement for tending to your heart, mind, and energy with gentleness and honesty
   
3. Jewelle’s 4A’s Check-In ™ : a practical tool to bring you back to God, back to yourself, and back to your energetic homebase
   

By the end of this episode, you’ll see how

• Spiritual and emotional hygiene keeps you aligned with your Highest, God-like Self.

• Guarding your heart is both a spiritual command and a practical form of energetic stewardship.

• Your personal healing becomes communal—shaping the health, safety, and intimacy of your relationships.

Meant for your reflection:

As you listen, consider

1. How do I know when my energy has shifted away from my homebase?

2. Where am I projecting unhealed emotions onto others, and what might change if I tended to those places with compassion first?

3. Where do I need to implement boundaries to help better steward my spirit, my emotions, and my energy?
