Get Real with Jasmin

So, I recently decided to leave Dubai. Although I have A LOT to say about how much this city has tortured me over the past few years, I think it's more valuable to share the mistakes I made, the mindset shifts I had, and the thought process that eventually led me to this decision. From procrastinating and waiting for certainty to overcoming analysis paralysis, this is everything I learned alon...

A few months ago, I realized I was scared of being seen. And that made me question everything.....what have I even been doing, posting on YouTube for over a year if I'm scared of being seen?but then I realised, fear of being seen isn't about not knowing how to show up. It's about feeling exposed. Feeling that people might see the real you...and that could be too vulnerable. In this vid...

welcome to the very first yapping session!a few weeks ago, on a sleepless night, I stumbled on an old video from when I first started posting on YouTube....and i looked so happysomewhere along the way, i forgot what it feels like to make videos with pure joy, not having to care about the strategy or the views..and I want to that feeling back.so yeah..this is why I created the monthly yapping sessi...

If there's one thing that everyone will say about me, that would be, "a brave girl."But somewhere along the way I realise, people like to talk about bravery like it's an innate trait they either born with or not. And excuse my language, but that is just complete BS.The truth is, I was not born brave. I had a mental breakdown 5 hours before my flight to Dubai. I almost booked a fl...

My face is puffy af but honestly thats not the only reason why I feel uncomfortable making today's video. Because I finally stopped hiding from who I truly am. I finally decided to step fully into my power. Honestly, I didn't know I was downplaying myself. But once you see the pattern, you can't unsee it. I have made videos about the mistakes I've made in my 20s, but I always feel...

It took a long time to realize I'm a HSP...too long, honestly. I spent most of my life feeling too much and pretending i didn't care at all. And i thought maybe this is just how life is supposed to be. Maybe it's just normal to feel broken. Maybe it's normal to never feel good enough. Maybe it's normal to not like myself. But everything changed when i first discover the term &q...

I sort of always knew I was sensitive. But somehow I didn't want to admit that. Because everything about the word "sensitive" feels wrong. Feels too much. Until I read about "Highly Sensitive People" two years ago, my life started to make sense. Why I always care too much. Why I always feel like the one left behind. Why being with people stressed me. And for the first time...

If I have to go back and talk to the 23y/o me that was crying on the yoga mat every day, wondering if this was how the rest of her life would be, I’d tell her, “it’s not about him anymore. It’s about you.”I spent too much time blaming, dwelling on people, seeking certainty that I’d never get. And that’s why it’s so hard to move on. If you are like me, always struggling to let go, this video will h...

There is s a very common belief about confidence that the more you do, the more confident you get. Because confidence is built from action. While that is true is most cases, it wasn’t the case for me. By the age of 24, i moved to a new country alone, walking on the street to deliver my resume in person, overcame my social anxiety by working as a waitress. And yet, i still feel like i didnt achieve...

Hitting rock bottom is the most painful period of my life. I was out of a job, heartbroken, and moved back in with my parents. And to be very honest, I had no idea how I was going to get out of it. All I could feel was shame and pain, and all I could see was darkness. But I tried anyway .And bit by bit, days started to feel easier to get by. I started to cry a little bit less. Most importantly, th...

The most common problem I notice from people around me is the lack of action, and that really bothers me. Not because they are lazy, but because they are not. They are hard-working, and yet, there is always one thing stopping them from pursuing what they actually want — fear. Dreaming big is such a beautiful thing, but at the same time it's vulnerable. So I get it, why you still couldn't t...

you know what, let’s stop lying to ourselves about feeling behind. Be honest, have you ever stopped feeling behind? i know, i know, you are supposed to trust your timeline. But even after understanding this, sometimes i still can’t help but look at other people’s life and question what the hell am i doing with my life. This makes me realize, what if no matter how much we progressed, we will still...

If I have to choose one word that define my early 20s, that would be: shame. The shame of not living up to people’s expectations, the shame of being ghosted by guys, the shame of not getting promoted at my job. Today I talk about the mistakes I made that actually ruined my early 20s. The hardest part wasn’t fixing the mistake, but admitting I was making one. So I hope the video can encourage you t...

If you are in your lonely chapter right now, this one is for you. Loneliness has been a huge topic on this channel. But it never occurred to me that loneliness might be good....until now. We have been taught to resent the idea of loneliness, but what if, the reason you're lonely is because you are brave enough to leave an environment that you no longer fit into? What if loneliness is necessary...

So I received a missile strike alert. Multiple, to be precise. Interestingly, it is during the moment when my life is completely out of my control that I finally received the clarity. In this episode, I talk about how to shift your mindset when things are not going your way. Maybe you got rejected by your dream job, maybe you have a terrible boss, maybe your relationship ended, or maybe it's e...

Let's be honest, no matter how independent you are, feeling isolated sucks. But what if this season isn’t here to break you, but to change you? In this episode, I share how spending a year in isolation completely shifted my life and the way I see myself, connection, and independence. If you’re in a season of isolation right now — whether you moved to a new place, outgrew old relationships, or...

My 2025 didn’t go the way I expected. It felt like a year of lack of achievement — but it taught me some of the most important lessons about growth, courage, and self-trust. If this year felt slow, quiet, or disappointing for you too, this episode is for ending 2025 with more hope and love. 【Get Real with Jasmin’s Podcast】 🎧Apple Podcast:  https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/get-real-with-jas...

I had an encounter with penguins in Abu Dhabi that makes me re-think self-worth. Somewhere along the way, we are led to believe that we are only worthy because of our achievements, not our existence. But here's the good news, if we have learned worth is what needs to be earned, we can also un-learn it. 【Get Real with Jasmin’s Podcast】 🎧Apple Podcast:  https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/g...

I wrote this episode in the middle of the night, when I just couldn’t shake the feeling of loneliness from my mind. As someone who has felt alone for most of her life, I guess you could say I’ve become a bit of an expert in it. In this episode, I open up about my own journey with loneliness — from locking myself in my room for years, to finally making meaningful friendships only to be forced to le...

Let’s talk about the pressure to be in a relationship — because honestly, I’m tired. In this episode, I’m sharing what happened at a recent work event that triggered  everyone  to start asking me about my love life (or lack of it 🙄). Spoiler: I’m single, and I’m not ashamed of it. This episode is for anyone who’s ever felt like being single means you’re behind, broken, or “less than.” We’re unpac...

For the longest time, I lived in a cycle of burnout. Work hard. Burn out. Feel guilty for not doing more. Then push myself again… just to end up in the same place. Even when I was physically and emotionally exhausted, I felt ashamed for resting. I hated myself for “doing nothing,” even when I had nothing left to give. I knew I  should  rest—but I didn’t know  how . Or more truthfully, I didn’t bel...

I’ve always felt like I was a little too much, or maybe not enough. Like I just didn’t fit in anywhere — not in school, not in social circles, not even in spaces where I was  supposed  to belong. For a long time, I thought something was wrong with me. In this episode, I’m opening up about what it means to be the outsider, the misfit, the one who walks a different path. I talk about the quiet stren...

I wrote this episode after a terrible driving practice, who knows a breakdown on a bridge can turn to a lifetime of realisation. In this episode, I talk about the beauty of releasing control and let the Universe take care of the rest for you. Most importantly, understanding that the act of trying is everything. Your failure doesn’t define you, trying does. You are valuable at this very moment. ✨...

Having spiritual awakening is definitely one of the best thing that's ever happened to me. In this episode, I talked about my journey of exploring spiritual path during the darkest time of my life and the life-changing lessons I've learned along the way.

Hi, I recently moved to Dubai, and let’s just say… it’s been a wild ride.  😳 From unexpected luxuries to things that straight-up confused me, I’ve experienced  some serious culture shocks  in my first two months here. So today, I’m giving you my  brutally honest, unfiltered thoughts  about Dubai—no sugarcoating, just real talk. Some things  totally blew my mind  (McDonald's table service?! 🚨), w...
