Meet Yasmin
  In 2012, Yasmin suffered complete burnout trying to run 5 businesses. Overwhelmed, exhausted, and checked out, he left work one afternoon and headed to the Oregon Coast. That changed everything.   In the next 18 months, he returned to the coast 52 times discovering a new way of living and working that healed his body, deepened his relationships, and transformed his life.   Yasmin shares why he does this work.   He believes that when we intentionally create space to rest, grow, connect, and give, we refuel the fire of our impact. In the last 3 years, he has refined his approach to burnout recovery and created the Retirement Day Practice™ and Organizational Gratitude Practice™ methods.   Yasmin's passion for helping women in business is inspired by his mother’s courage and sacrifice for a better life for her children. In 1978, she led her three infant children through the jungle to board a small boat. Fleeing Communist Vietnam, they were rescued at sea as their boat sank to the bottom of the ocean.   Every day he is so grateful for the gift of his mother's courage and the opportunity to transform lives through this work.   Connect with Yasmin: Follow Joyful Joe Website Instagram
