  • From the Ground Up: Purpose, Pivoting & Personal Evolution”

    Let us know how much you enjoyed this episode!


    In this inspiring episode, host Mattea Hunter sits down with powerhouse entrepreneur Jasmin Perkins for a transparent conversation about what it really takes to build something from nothing. Jasmin shares how she launched her brand and dance studio in her early 20s—without a blueprint—and the lessons learned through hustle, faith, and divine direction.


    But this episode goes beyond business. Jasmin opens up about the deep shifts in her personal and spiritual journey, including her evolving relationship with God, how her inner growth impacted her connections with others, and the bold decision to denounce her sorority. It’s a raw and real dialogue about courage, conviction, and stepping fully into your God-given calling—even when it means walking away from what once defined you.


    If you’ve ever felt the tension between purpose and people, or sensed a spiritual shift pulling you in a new direction, this one’s for you. Tune in and be encouraged.
