📘 Episode Description:
In this powerful episode of The Chronicles of a Black Lesbian Mom: Healing Like a Motha, host Guided by Jasmine tackles a question she's been asked time and time again:
“How can you be a lesbian and a mother at the same time?”

With honesty, humor, and spiritual depth, Jasmine opens up about the judgment she’s faced from both inside and outside the LGBTQ+ community, the rejection she experienced within the church, and the complexity of raising children in a world that often refuses to make space for the fullness of her identity.

She shares how her queerness shaped her motherhood, how religion tried to silence her calling, and how she fought — and continues to fight — to reclaim every part of herself.

This episode is a love letter to anyone who's ever been told they couldn’t be both. Jasmine is here to say: you already are.

✨ Guided Meditation (Starts around [insert timestamp]):
A 4-minute practice to help listeners release shame, reclaim their wholeness, and affirm the sacredness of being “both.”
“I am enough. I am whole. I am both.”

📚 Lessons Learned:

  • Being queer and being a mother are not in conflict — they are in communion.
  • Rejection doesn’t define you; it redirects you back to your truth.
  • You don’t have to choose between the parts of you.
  • A calling doesn’t need church walls to be holy.
  • Acceptance starts from within — and radiates outward.

🎧 Listen if you’re ready to:

  • Challenge the stereotypes around queer parenting
  • Reclaim your truth outside the walls of religion
  • Break generational cycles with love and honesty
  • Be reminded that you are already enough
