Have you ever wondered what possibilities
might unfold if you dared to choose the uncomfortable path? Or why expanding into new chapters of life and business so often comes with tension and fear?
In this powerful episode, I sit down with Jasmine Star—entrepreneur, international speaker & top podcast host —for a raw and inspiring conversation about what it really takes to pivot with purpose. Together, we explore the inner battles we face when stepping into bigger arenas, and why leaning into discomfort is the true catalyst for transformation.
Jasmine also shares the deeply personal journey of adopting her daughter, Luna, and parts of the process she wishes others knew. She adds how her family dynamic may not be for everyone, but how it works for and her husband, J.D. Her authenticity in sharing reminds us that there is no right or wrong way to have a healthy and thriving family and work relationship.
If you’re standing on the edge of a new season, unsure if you’re ready to leap—this episode will remind you that expansion always comes on the other side of courage.
