The WHoly Mom Chat

As women in a busy world, we are often influenced by the social norms associated with marriage, living as a woman in our society, and motherhood. And we lose sight of who we are. I am passionate about coming alongside women and moms who are recognizing and returning to themselves. Sharing our stories helps us see we are not alone in our unique stories. To help us on the path to self-discovery and self-care, I am so excited to share my conversation with the lovely Jasmine Douglas.  She is a mom, businesswoman, and recent divorcee. With encouragement and grace, you will learn the importance of being in tune with yourself and living on purpose as she shares her journey of self-discovery and success.

It wasn't until she lost her beloved Nana that she hung up her stethoscope, picked up a knife, and worked in the kitchen.

She has served our country, has been a servant in healthcare, and now both she and her husband Reggie, the co-owner of T&R Catering LLC & Common Sense Cuisine LLC, and their food truck, Hooks Lunch box, are serving up delicious comfort foods that are designed to take you to on a trip around the world.
