✨ Episode Description:

What happens when depression creeps in after the comeback?
After the growth?
After therapy?

In this soul-baring diary-style episode, Jasmine opens up about what it looked like to crash emotionally after doing “all the right things.” From grief and job loss to illness, injustice, and intimate heartbreak, Jasmine shares how everything finally caught up with her—and how she chose to show up anyway.

This episode is a sacred space for anyone who’s ever felt ashamed for needing rest after rising.

🧘🏽‍♀️ Guided Meditation

“Return to Your Enoughness”
This 4-minute guided meditation is a soft reset for the soul. Jasmine gently leads you through grounding breathwork and intuitive affirmation, helping you reconnect with your body, your breath, and your worth — especially when you don’t feel like “enough.”

Whether you’ve hit a wall, relapsed into old patterns, or just need a quiet moment to remember who you are… this meditation was made for you.

No fluff. No fixing. Just presence. Just love.

📜 Lessons Learned

After crashing post-comeback — despite therapy, growth, and all the “right steps” — Jasmine shares what healing actually looks like behind the scenes:

Your body knows when it’s time to pause.
 Your breakdown doesn’t cancel your breakthrough.
 Your softness is still sacred.
 And joy can be as small as a sticker… and still holy.

This isn’t about bouncing back.
 It’s about being honest about the fall—
 and choosing yourself in the dark anyway.

These aren’t just lessons.
 They’re reminders for anyone navigating the shadows while still holding a vision for their light.

✨ Episode Description:

What happens when healing doesn’t come wrapped in candles, crystals, and calm? When it looks more like job loss, hospital visits, emotional chaos, and pulling yourself off the bathroom floor?

📝 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.

💬 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.

💭 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

📘 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

📌 Episode Summary:
In the final installment of Buried Truths: My Father, His Death, and My Healing, I sit with the raw aftermath of my father’s funeral—and the waves of pain that kept crashing long after the casket closed. From facing one of my childhood perpetrators again… to being hit with a possible cancer diagnosis… to watching the dysfunction in my family reemerge right after laying my father to rest—this wasn’t closure. It was confrontation.

This diary entry is messy. Vulnerable. Raging. And sacred.
 It’s a mirror for anyone who’s ever tried to grieve while surviving.

✨ Guided Meditation: “I Am the Medicine”
I also include a gentle, 3-minute meditation to ground yourself after listening. It’s a reminder that you’re not broken—you’re becoming.

Access is inside the episode.

💎 Lessons Learned:

• Perpetrators thrive in silence—I won't be silent anymore.
• Apologies aren’t the same as accountability.
• Boundaries are sacred, especially in grief.
