Key Discussion Points and Insights

1. Embracing the Unknown and Planting Seeds

• Jasmine shares her experience with unpredictability and new beginnings, likening life's journey to planting a variety of rose seeds—not knowing which colors will bloom or when.

  “Sometimes when you're planting those seeds, it's not as pretty because you don't really know when they're going to bloom. You don't know what colors may come up from the seed.” (Jasmine, 02:35)

• She highlights the importance of patience and faith, and credits her growth to accepting that not everything needs to be figured out right away.

2. The Power of Self-Compassion

• Throughout the episode, Jasmine repeatedly returns to the core affirmation: “Be easy on yourself.”

  “This is your first go around here on Earth. Be easy on yourself. You're not going to always have all the answers right in front of you. But if you take a step back and you look at the direction where you want to go, life starts to flow differently for you.” (Jasmine, 03:21)

• She explains that leveling up in life “takes preparation, clarity, courage, faith, and a sense of perspective.” (01:52)

3. Allowing Friendships and Connections to Evolve

• Jasmine encourages thoughtful reflection on friendships and social circles, and letting go of connections that no longer serve one's personal growth.

  “Maybe you release and let them go—whatever just wasn't serving you. Be easy on yourself in this chapter.” (Jasmine, 06:38)

• She advises listeners to enter new relationships (romantic or platonic) with ease, patience, and high standards.

4. Approaching Love and Dating Without Pressure

• Jasmine addresses women seeking deeper romantic commitment:

  “Be easy when it comes to dating, okay? Be easy when it comes to opening up your heart... Don’t be so hard on yourself on trying to find the partner, okay?” (Jasmine, 07:37)

• Journaling and maintaining high standards are emphasized for dating "like a goddess."

  “You know what you desire and deserve... As you are leaning into that direction in 2026, dating like a goddess, be easy.” (Jasmine, 09:01)

5. Self-Affirmation and Positive Self-Talk

• Listeners are prompted to affirm their worth and alignment:

  “As a goddess, you are channeling the energy of everything that I desire. I know it is in alignment with my higher good. Everything that I touch, I know it prospers. Everything that I pour into myself, I know I get back a hundredfold.” (Jasmine, 04:45)

6. Health and Wellness: Progress over Perfection

• Jasmine recounts her own experiences with health checkups to motivate listeners to prioritize self-care, even if the process feels intimidating.

  “Be easy, Jasmine. Like, be easy with yourself. You are doing what you’re supposed to be doing when it comes to booking those appointments. You got the hard part out the way—you showed up.” (Jasmine, 11:35)

• She discusses overcoming past challenges like lack of insurance and reminds listeners not to compare themselves to others but to celebrate incremental wins.

7. Financial Growth is a Journey

• Jasmine normalizes not having all the answers regarding financial wellness and encourages using available resources and seeking help when needed.

  “You don’t have to have all the answers. You don’t have to be the smartest when it comes to the financial aspects... There are people who know more than me. And I have the tools, the resources to hire those people or to ask for advice if there’s something that I don’t know. And that’s okay.” (Jasmine, 15:08)

8. Celebrating Individual Pacing and Growth

• The episode circles back to the metaphor of blooming roses, each opening at its own pace.

  “Just like these beautiful roses behind me... Some are a little bit more bloomed and then some are a little bit more tighter. Guess what? They're beautiful, different colors and they're still gorgeous.” (Jasmine, 16:49)

• Jasmine cautions against comparison and highlights that everyone’s journey is unique and worthy.

Notable Quotes & Memorable Affirmations

• “Smile more. Smiling more puts that energy and that frequency out differently.” (Jasmine, 04:27)
• “You are the one who are in the decision making when it comes to creating and picking and choosing the person for your life. So be easy, Goddess, when it comes to your love life.” (Jasmine, 09:29)
• “Don't compare yourself to others. Don't compare yourself to your peers, to your family. You're still going to bloom beautifully when it's your season to bloom.” (Jasmine, 17:09)
• “Sometimes we're in a learning season, sometimes we're in a stillness season. Sometimes we just need to sit still with our own thoughts and reflect. Sometimes we just need to be in solitude and that is okay. But be easy on yourself on this beautiful divine journey.” (Jasmine, 17:40)

Be easy on yourself Goddess. The life that you are creating today, it is new for you. Be easy with your thoughts that you're having. Be easy with your energy. Be easy with the steps that you're taking in 2026 to level up your life as a goddess. It's all about creating the life that you desire and that life. It takes preparation, it takes clarity, it takes courage, it takes faith, and it takes a sense of perspective that just knowing whatever you're doing right now, the seeds that you're planting in your life right now, it is going to bloom in the right chapter in your life. When you're ready for that. Look at these beautiful roses above my head. I have roses. I keep roses throughout the home because roses represents femininity. Roses represents prosperity to me. Like when I see a rose bloom, I see my life blooming and the direction that I want it to blow bloom. And that signals represents wealth for me in my life. And sometimes when you're planting those seeds, it's not as pretty because you don't really know when they're going to bloom. You don't know what colors may come up from the seed.

Let's say you get a bunch of different seeds of roses and they're all mixed up. You really don't know if you're going to get a yellow rose, a pink rose or orange rose. You don't know if they're all mixed up and I think about my life. When I started Habits of a God's podcast, I did not know that one day I was not going to only empower myself, but also empower other women who are looking to grow in their personal development journey. And sometimes you got to remind yourself to be easy. Be easy on yourself. This is your first go around here on Earth. Be easy on yourself. You're not going to always have all the answers right in front of you. But if you take a step back and you look at the direction where you want to go, life starts to flow differently for you. The doors open up for you. The people that's in your life that are meant to be in your life, they are going to move accordingly to the pace that you are at in your life. So be easy, goddess. Don't be hard on yourself. You've done enough so far and where you're going in life is going to take a different version of you. But be easy in the process.

After my morning workout, I love creating a breakfast that feels nourishing and indulgent. Hero Bread toast beautifully. It's soft, fluffy and surprisingly moist. I love making my avocado toast with this seeded bread. It has pumpkin, sunflower and flax seeds for a hearty texture with with only 1 gram net carb and 0 gram sugar, 12 grams of fiber, 6 grams of protein and 60 calories. It's made with olive oil. The texture feels just like a traditional bread without the heaviness. My go to snack with herobre is dicing up some cucumbers, tomatoes and red onion and cottage cheese. This recipe is so good. So make sure you save it when you're trying. Herobread this year, hit your goals without giving up your favorite bready dishes. Herobred is offering 10% off your order.

When it comes to your love life, be easy. I was on Live today and a few of the lovely goddesses asked a question. How do I attract a partner that doesn't just want a casual fling? And I thought about this. You know, a lot of women, they're ready for love, they're ready for a relationship, they're ready for long term commitment marriage, they're ready for a family. And if you feel like this is you and this aligns with you, be easy when it comes to dating, okay? Be easy when it comes to opening up your heart and you know, you're opening up your mindset.

[Chorus/Listener Affirmation]

[Jasmine]

As you're starting this process, process of journey, of attracting a partner in your life that can meet your standards that you set for yourself, Goddess, whatever that looks like for you. So if you're out here dating and you're looking to attract an amazing partner that meets the standards that you have for yourself, you're dating as a goddess.

[Chorus/Listener Affirmation]

Be easy.

[Jasmine]

Journal it, write it down and keep those standards high. You know what you desire and what you deserve and what you feel, feel that is right within your intuition. So as you are leaning into that direction in 2026, dating like a goddess, be easy. Whoever you decide to invite into your life. When it comes to your romantic love life, be easy on yourself, okay? Eliminate whatever just doesn't serve you. And, you know, don't accept any activity, any behavior that just does not align with you. Goddess, you are the one who are in the decision making when it comes to creating and picking and choosing the person for your life. So be easy, Goddess, when it comes to your love life, be easy when it comes to your health and your wellness. Today I went and did my annually checkup and I want to point this out. I love Zoc Dog. I've worked with them in the past on Habits of a God's Podcast. And if you don't know, Zoc Doc is an amazing app that you can download and you can book doctor's appointments. And if you are in a new city, new town, and you need a primary care doctor or a dentist or ob, GYN or dermatologist, like, this is a great app to find top rated doctors and you can check and read reviews and more than likely you can get in right away when you're booking an appointment through the app. I use Zoc Doc when I first relocated to Florida because I didn't have any doctors here. I didn't have a dentist, I didn't have a primary ob gyn. And I said, okay, I need to figure this out. And at the time when I started working with them, I was like, this is so perfect because I actually. Close your eyes, exhale, feel your body relax, and let go of whatever you're carrying today.

1-800-Contacts need this for my life and I know a lot of my lovely listeners. Us women, we like to take care of our health and your health is priority. So the beginning of the year is typically when I book those doctor's appointments. And I had to give myself credit. I was like, you know what? Be easy, Jasmine. Like, be easy with yourself. You are doing what you supposed to be doing when it comes to booking those appointments. You got the hard part out the way you showed up. You got the blood work done. I mean, I don't like needles. I don't know about you, but I do not like needles and I, you know, that's one of the things when it comes to you know, getting your physical check ups and all that stuff, it's like you gotta, you know, if you're not a needle person you gotta like brace yourself going into those offices and I had to remind myself there was a time where I didn't have health insurance. There was a time where I couldn't probably afford to get blood work and pay and all this stuff. And now I'm in a different place in my life. So be easy with yourself when it comes to your health and wellness. Be easy and, and be graceful when you are making decisions. When it comes to your physical health, your mental health, your spiritual health. Take the time that you need to focus on that because that is so important as a goddess, checking your body, getting everything, blood work done. Be easy but stay in alignment and stay on top of it. As a goddess you are creating a beautiful 20, 26 year and remind yourself to be easy. There's so many things that we are focusing on but make sure that you're taking care of yourself. So be easy on yourself when you are focusing on your health and wellness. Be easy on yourself when it comes to your finances. Your maybe you haven't had the best track record of financial decisions but guess what, we're in a new year. We are letting go of old habits, decision making that we've had in the past. This year we are being easy when it comes to our financial decisions. We are staying on top of our finances. So goddess, this is like your gentle reminder to take inventory when it comes to your financial, you know, what plans do you have, what goals do you have for yourself financially? And be easy on yourself as you are looking through that for yourself as you're planning out what your goals look like when it comes to creating more money for yourself or saving more investing. What does that look like for you Goddess? So be easy as you're making these decisions in your life. You don't have to have all the answers. You don't have to be the smart, smartest when it comes to the financial aspects. But you can also outsource and hire those who are more financially educated in that area. So I think about anytime there's something I feel that I may not know a lot about, like as knowledgeable, I have to remind myself to be easy on myself. Don't beat myself up, don't you know, think doubts about, you know, whatever place I'm at in my life, there are people who know more than me. And I have the tools, the resources to hire those people or to ask for advice if there's something that I don't know. And that's okay. You don't have to know every single thing in life, but be willing to learn, be willing to ask for help and be easy with yourself. When you don't know certain things in life, it's not about being the smartest. It's about showing up and being consistent and persistent and having a great attitude when it comes to things that you just may not know, okay? You may be learning from a place of, you know, life experiences and take it for what it is. So be easy on yourself, Goddess. As you are navigating through the 2026 year, be easy on yourself. So Goddess, think about the areas of your life that you can be easy up on, okay? When it comes to you, think about the areas of your life that you can become more easy on, okay? Don't beat yourself up. Don't be hard on yourself. Be easy and learn to move with with grace. Learn to move with abundance. Learn to move from a place of. I get to learn. I get to grow at my own pace in life. Just like these beautiful roses behind me, okay? They are blooming and opening up at different paces. Some are a little bit more bloomed and then some are a little bit more tighter. I love these beautiful roses. I think these are called knockout roses. I love these roses. They're so gorgeous. Guess what? They're beautiful. Different colors and they're still gorgeous. Like they're still shining at its own pace in life. And just like you, when you are putting the necessary steps into place and you're showing it for yourself every day, do not compare yourself, okay? Don't compare yourself to others. Don't compare yourself to your peers, to your family. You're still going to bloom beautifully when it's your season to bloom. Sometimes we're in a learning season, sometimes we're in a stillness season. Sometimes we just need to sit still with our own thoughts and reflect. Sometimes we just need to be in solitude and that is okay. But be easy on yourself on this beautiful divine journey. And then sometimes it's our time to blow up, show up and shine and be a knockout rose. Because I love to show up and shine and my goddess energy. But that comes from a knowing of confidence, wisdom, you know, accepting your gifts and walking in your gifts, using whatever personal tools that you have from the past and using it today like that comes from a different place in life. But you have to become a seed first. You have to, you know, start planting the seeds first to show up as that version. So be easy on yourself as you are growing and life. Goddess, I love you, Goddess. Check out the podcast. There's over 400 episodes. I want you to be easy on yourself on this beautiful journey. Remember, you're the creator of your own reality. Your thoughts are powerful. Your words are powerful. So speak life into yourself every single day.
