What if your business only starts working once you stop running from yourself? We sit down with Jasmine Todman—a singer, chef, maker, and car enthusiast—who walked through a brutal season of loss and came out with a candle line that literally smells like growth. This is a story about therapy, lifting heavy things, breathing in a quiet room, and rebuilding a brand from a calm place instead of panic.

We talk about the shift from survival mode to creative intent: why routine is a lifeline, how meditation and gym check-ins reset your nervous system, and the way honest support can change your trajectory. Jasmine opens up about finding a sisterhood on the road—MJKM Sisterhood Riders—where accountability feels like love and late-night ride-outs double as care. It’s not just car culture; it’s a network that shows up when someone’s struggling. That same spirit shapes her business approach: personal scents, intentional naming, and gifts that say something real. Metamorphosis marks the breakdown and rebuild, Empress carries the crown you pick up yourself, and Afterglow is that quiet shine you earn when you refuse to turn bitter.

There’s a garden parable at the heart of it too: protecting caterpillars until one butterfly breaks free. Not all make it, and that honesty matters. We explore boundaries, the cost of scattered energy, and the peace that comes from choosing depth over chaos. Along the way, we keep it human—jokes, live-stream hiccups, and real talk about turning pain into purpose. If you’re trying to create something that outlasts a season, you’ll leave with a playbook: invest in your healing, find people who hold you higher, and build products that carry a story someone can feel.
