🧠 Episode Summary:

What happens when grief and rage arrive together—uninvited and unapologetic?

In this raw and unflinching episode, Jasmine walks us through the spiritual and emotional chaos that unfolded during her father’s funeral and viewing. From church betrayals and unspoken family wounds to facing childhood predators in the pews, this episode is a sacred release.

She reflects on choosing her father’s final outfit, re-entering a church that once hurt her, and confronting the disrespectful eulogy “memory” that revealed an affair her father had during his marriage. As if that wasn’t enough, Jasmine is approached by three different men from her past—men who once preyed on her—and she makes a powerful decision to protect her inner child in real time.

This episode is more than storytelling—it’s a reclamation of power.

🧘🏽‍♀️ Guided Meditation: “I Am Safe to Speak My Truth”

At the close of the episode, Jasmine leads a healing 3-minute meditation for daughters, survivors, and preacher’s kids who were once silenced by shame or manipulation.

This meditation gently helps listeners release shame, reclaim their voice, and create safety inside their own body.

💎 Lessons Learned:

• Inappropriate behavior deserves accountability—even decades later
• You are not “too much” for telling the truth
• Righteous rage can be a sacred invitation into healing
