She recently announced she was getting a divorce from husband of six years Ty Murray on her blog.
And despite the freshness of the split, Jewel says she is not mired in the breakup blues and is staying positive.
The pair have been together for 16 years, married in 2008 and have a son, Kase, who turned three earlier this summer.

Speaking to about the divorce, Jewel told the publication: 'I'm doing good!'
The 40-year-old originally broke the news about the split in a lengthy message to her fans on her official blog on July 2, writing: 'We are taking the enormous and heartbreaking step of divorce.'

She said: 'For some time we have been engaged in a private and difficult, but thoughtful and tender undoing of ourselves.'

(The sentiment is reminiscent of Gwyneth Paltrow's now famous 'conscious uncoupling' from Chris Martin.)
'We did not want anger to burn the ties that bound us.

Instead we have chosen the much more difficult task of undoing ourselves stitch by stitch, and releasing each other with love so that we may take on our new form: dear friends and devoted co-parents of our beloved son Kase.'
And the pair, who share a 2,200-acre ranch in Stephenville, Texas, are taking their separation equally seriously.

Jewel wrote on her blog: 'Oddly the very thing that Ty and I sought in coming together is the very thing we seek in separating.

We both value growth. And growth became tragically and undeniably stifled as a couple, and we believe we can find it again in setting each other free.

'We truly believe we can find greater happiness apart than together, and this is why we are taking the enormous and heartbreaking step of divorce.'
Explaining why she had taken the step of revealing the intimate news on her website, Jewel added: 'I share all this with you because I wanted you to hear it from us.
'I also share it because I have learned in these 20 years of living my life honestly in front of you, to trust that you will all honor and have reverence for how difficult this journey is, and allow us our process as we not only grieve the loss of our marriage, but also as we recreate ourselves in the ashes - for from all death we trust a phoenix rises.'
