In Her Healing with Jasz

Growth requires letting go. Today, May 8th, 2026, marks the final episode of this podcast. I’ve spent a lot of time reflecting on where my energy needs to be to serve you at the highest level. The vision for In Her Healing is expanding, and that requires me to be fully present in my community and on my visual platforms. I’m not stopping the work; I’m just changing the location. This isn't a go...

What do you do when the "right thing" feels like a disruption to your peace? In today’s episode, I’m getting incredibly vulnerable about a recent moment where I allowed guilt to drive me to reach out to my youngest son’s father. I thought I was building a bridge, but I realized I was just inviting chaos back into a timeline I had already healed. We’re having a real, "no-filter" conversation for th...

In this episode, I’m getting real about the shifts happening in my home. We’re talking about how I’m building a relationship with my sons by meeting them where they are—yes, even if that means binge-watching Invincible on Prime Video to bond over what they love. I’m also sharing why I officially came out of 'cooking retirement' for one day, the boundaries I had to set to stop being a slave to the...

Have you ever felt like you’re praying for a breakthrough, but something is holding you back? In today’s episode, I’m getting raw and real about a revelation I had during a season of prayer: We often stay stagnant not because God isn't moving, but because we aren't prepared for what we asked for. Last week, life threw me a curveball, and it reminded me that if we don't ground our internal world, t...

The Comfort Trap: Why the "known&quo...

I’m the eldest daughter of a single mother. I’m a single mother myself. I watched the struggle, and I refuse to let that be my story or yours.

Yesterday was a lot. Honestly, it was probably the most stress I’ve felt in a long time. We all know that "can’t stop, won’t stop" energy, but my body finally sent the SOS signal and I had to listen.

I recorded this episode at 12:30 AM in the literal midst of my mess. Healing is not an aesthetic; it is messy, it is ugly, and sometimes it is full of snot, tears, and heavy doubt. Today, I’m sharing how I navigated through yesterday's "unfavorable" challenges without letting them stop my progress or my commitment to my children. If you are a black woman, an eldest daughter, or a sin...
