The Jasmine Star Show

I have to ask you something, friend... Have you ever wondered how some people just seem to get MORE done in a day? Are you always questioning how your competitors are running a mile a minute and you can hardly get your project off the ground?

When I was 9 years old, I desperately hoped for the starring role of Mary in our church Christmas play, but one look at me and the director whispered, “I have the perfect part for you!” Two weeks later my hair was slicked back into a tight bun, I wore a beard, and my name was listed next to the title “Angry Innkeeper” in the printed show program. Instead of floating onto the stage as the beautiful...

Recently as I’ve been looking back on 2021, I’ve reflected on how it’s really been a year full of ups and downs, both business-wise and personally, and I haven’t always shared them all. Of course, I *have* given a glimpse into my “real life”, such as finalizing Luna’s adoption, the passing of our beloved dog Polo, and moving into our new house. But there are a few things I haven’t shared, either b...

One of my favorite ways to connect with you is on the podcast and via text… and today, I’m combining both of my loves.

In this conversati...

I don't know about you, but there was a time in my life where I would open my phone and I would scroll and think to myself, I have nothing to post on Instagram today, or I couldn't actually figure out the right things to say.  *Can you relate?!* I was desperate for people to know who I was.
