📝 Episode Description:

In this deeply personal episode, Jasmine shares the moment that shattered her illusions — and sparked her awakening. After a terrifying encounter with police involving her son in the midst of a mental health crisis, Jasmine found herself face-to-face with a truth many Black mothers know all too well:

No one is coming to save us.

What followed was not just a breakdown, but a spiritual breakthrough — one that forced her to stop waiting for a rescue and start choosing herself. With raw honesty and unfiltered emotion, Jasmine unpacks what it means to shift from martyrdom to sovereignty, from surviving for everyone else to living for herself.

This episode is for the mothers, the caretakers, the healers, and the strong ones who’ve ever felt like they were drowning in silence. It’s a love letter to those doing the most with the least — and learning to become their own safe place.

đź’¬ Guided Meditation:

A short, grounding meditation titled “Coming Home to Myself” follows this episode, helping you reconnect to your own power, peace, and self-trust.

đź’­ Lessons Learned:

  • No one is coming to save you — but you don’t need saving. You need you.
  • Children can be a part of your purpose, but not your entire reason for existing
  • Setting boundaries doesn’t mean you don’t love people — it means you’re finally loving yourself
  • Even in the wreckage, you can still rebuild something sacred
