I’m going to be real with you—sometimes the biggest business breakthroughs don’t happen on stage, in a meeting, or during a strategy session. They happen when your feelings get hurt, your plans go sideways, and you say “yes” anyway.

In this episode, I’m sharing the behind-the-scenes story of how a last-minute trip to Nashville turned into one of the most impactful mastermind experiences of my year—all because I chose to show up, even when I felt excluded.

Here’s the tea: I wasn’t invited to a mastermind dinner I thought I’d be part of. And, like any human with a beating heart, I had a lot of feelings. I let myself sit in them. I reached out to my girl Amy Porterfield. And instead of letting the exclusion define me, I made a new story—and booked a plane ticket.

Spoiler: That trip led to a powerful mini mastermind with some of the most brilliant female entrepreneurs I know (Jenna Kutcher, Bonnie Christine, and more), and I walked away 1% better—and with 5 key takeaways you can apply to your business today.

Here’s what you’ll learn:

• Why rest is just as productive as hustle
• How to reframe moments of rejection
• What “choosing a better story” looks like in action
• The power of informal opportunities
• How to squeeze value out of every experience (even the ones that don’t go as planned)

Whether you're navigating disappointment or wondering if it’s worth hopping on a plane last-minute, I hope this episode encourages you to trust the process and say yes to what could be next.

Because the truth is, the right rooms won't just open for you—they’ll find you when you're ready.

What if the best thing you could do for your business this year… was do less?

In this raw, behind-the-scenes episode, I’m sharing how intentionally creating blank space in my calendar—not a break, not a vacation, but a purposeful pause—completely transformed my business growth.

You’ll hear how stepping back led to major clarity, a game-changing mastermind invite with Brendon Burchard, and a bold new approach to my product suite and funnels. I also dive into the power of Deep Work Days, why “busy” isn’t always better, and how to stop overcommitting and start expanding.

This isn’t a framework. It’s real-time documentation of a massive mindset shift.

If you’ve ever felt stuck in hustle mode, this is your permission slip to do things differently in 2025.

If you’ve ever felt stuck, overwhelmed, or like you’re constantly hitting roadblocks… this episode is for you.

I sat down with my friend Ed Mylett on his podcast, and we went deep—so deep that I knew I had to share this conversation with you.

✅ The truth about personal branding and social media success

Ever stared at a beautifully designed landing page template and thought, “Ugh… how do I make my copy fit into THAT?”

Girl, same.

But lucky for us, I’ve got a not-so-secret weapon: Katie Haahr.

In this shortie episode of The Jasmine Star Show, Katie—my brilliant right-hand and co-content creator at Social Curator—walks us through how we use AI (yep, ChatGPT!) to match our landing page design perfectly with the right words.

It’s not complicated. It’s not techy. It’s actually wildly simple and wildly effective.

Katie shares how she takes screenshots of our design templates, drags them into ChatGPT, adds our raw Google Doc copy, and prompts it to make the two work seamlessly together. Headers, bullet points, tone, structure—it all gets aligned in minutes instead of hours.

Here’s the deal: You don’t need to be an expert copywriter. You don’t need to stress over sentence length or character count anymore. You just need a screenshot, a prompt, and this 10-minute podcast.

So whether you're creating a new sales page, building a funnel, or trying to sound more polished (without hiring an agency), this one’s for you.

✨ In this episode, you’ll learn:

• How to pair design with copy using ChatGPT
• The prompts Katie uses to “train” AI like a creative assistant
• Why this saves HOURS on our marketing workflow
• How we treat AI like a collaborator, not a replacement

Spoiler alert: AI isn’t going to replace your creativity. It’s going to amplify it.

Let’s write smarter, not harder.

Today’s episode is extra special, friends — I'm sitting down with my husband, best friend, co-founder, and favorite human, JD Delatorre.

After only 20 years together (and nearly that long building businesses side-by-side!), I finally convinced JD to sit behind the mic and share his perspective on what it really looks like to be married to your business partner…and still like each other. 😂

We’re talking about:

How I roped JD into recording this episode (spoiler: a "finger shake" contract was involved!) What it's like to mix marriage and entrepreneurship for two decades The unglamorous but honest dynamics of decision-making, communication, and occasional eye-rolling How our relationship and business roles have evolved, especially after becoming parents The three words JD uses to describe me as a business partner AND a wife (grab tissues — this one got me right in the feels 🥹) This conversation is totally unscripted, a little messy, full of laughter, and packed with real talk about what it takes to not just build a thriving business — but a thriving marriage too.

If you’ve ever wondered how we navigate it all — from finger shakes to 10x dreams — this one’s for you.

Because here’s the truth: Building a business with someone you love is hard. Loving them through it all is even harder. But it’s also the most beautiful journey you can imagine.
