Habits of A Goddess – "Goddess Glowmas Day 22: Stretch Your Mind To New Experiences"

Podcast: Habits of A Goddess
Host: Jasmine Rasco
Date: December 22, 2025

Episode Overview

On the 22nd day of "Goddess Glowmas," Jasmine Rasco challenges listeners to "stretch your mind to new experiences." Targeted towards women on a journey of personal growth, Jasmine unpacks how expanding your mind through new environments, relationships, conversations, and habits fundamentally and permanently changes your perspective, confidence, and life. The episode’s central theme is that once your mind is exposed to greater possibilities, abundance, and new ways of living, you can never truly return to a smaller, limited mindset.

Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. The Power of Expanded Experience (02:07)

• Main Idea: Exposure to new and uplifting experiences transforms your default mindset to one of abundance, joy, and prosperity.
• Insight: "A mind that is stretched by new experiences can never go back to its old dimension."
  • Jasmine attributes this quote to an unknown source but emphasizes its ongoing influence in her life.
• Practical Advice: Once you’ve experienced elevated conversations, supportive communities, prosperous environments, or abundance (financial or otherwise), your mind and expectations are forever changed.

2. Personal Growth Through Novelty & Exploration (03:59)

• Example: Jasmine shares her recent experience with Babbel, a language-learning app, as a tangible way she’s stretching into something new for 2026.

  • She highlights the empowerment found in trying, regardless of the outcome:
    "I feel empowered when I’m able to learn something new. Whether I like it or not, I’m exposing myself to it." (04:45)

• Exposure therapy: Trying unfamiliar activities or environments, even when uncomfortable, builds confidence, resilience, and self-trust.

3. Designing a Life That Stretches You (06:21)

• Travel: Jasmine encourages listeners to proactively research destinations they wish to visit, planning itineraries to embody the mindset and rhythm of those experiences now.

• Social Stretch:

  • Start conversations with new people, especially those you might not naturally gravitate towards.
  • "You don’t have to have the same belief system… If you’re open to listening and seeing that person’s perspective, you’re stretching yourself to a new dimension." (07:12)

• Routine Shake-Up: Consistent habits and exposure to newness accelerate personal growth; remaining in your comfort zone limits emotional and intellectual expansion.

4. Affirmations to Cultivate Openness (09:33)

• Dedicated Segment of Affirmations:
  • Jasmine recites a series of affirmations, inviting listeners to adopt openness to new, soul-enriching experiences:
    • "As a goddess, I’m available to new experiences that enrich my soul." (09:45)
    • "…that add to my bank account."
    • "…that stretch my belief system." (10:52)
• Explanation: Such affirmations increase your energy and draw in resonant experiences and people.

5. The Irreversibility of Growth (11:26)

• Point: Growth changes your frequency. After developing healthy routines or shifting away from habits (e.g., quitting drinking), the old version of yourself no longer fits.
  • "The old version of you is no longer existent for you." (12:24)
• Implication: External relationships and environments may change or fade as you outgrow previous limitations.
• Caution & Comfort: This transformation is not about judging or leaving others behind but acknowledging that, as you lead by example, the journey can sometimes be lonely.

6. Confronting Old Connections (14:50)

• Situation: Reconnecting with old friends after significant personal growth may feel stifling.
• Insight:
  • "You won't really find yourself having much in common."
  • Jasmine assures listeners this isn’t about feeling superior, but about recognizing shifts in alignment and energy.

7. Being a Magnet for Elevation (16:15)

• Attraction & Boundaries: When you’re living abundantly, others are drawn to your light, but only those willing to do their own internal work can truly stay and evolve with you.

8. Living in Abundance and Moving Forward (16:40)

• Encouragement:
  • "Live in your abundance, live in your happiness, live in your glory, live in your fulfillment and celebrate yourself along the way, Goddess."
  • As you elevate, new opportunities, connections, and insights multiply.

Notable Quotes & Memorable Moments

• On New Community:

  • "Place yourself around new people. Talk to someone new every single day. Stretch your mind to new experiences, Goddess. Try something different." (08:30)

• On Inspiration from Others:

  • "When I see another woman literally floating, literally levitating in her energy, I get inspired. It makes me want to stand more confident in my belief system." (11:09)

• On Growth and Loss:
