Podcast: Habits of A Goddess
Host: Jasmine Rasco
Date: December 3, 2025
Theme: Personal development for women—activating your “inner goddess” with the power of affirmations and, specifically for this episode, the importance of prioritizing self-care.

1. Episode Overview

Day 3 of Goddess Glowmas centers on prioritizing your self-care. Jasmine Rasco invites listeners to make themselves their top priority, scheduling dedicated self-care days and challenging deeply held beliefs about “selfishness.” Drawing from affirmations, personal anecdotes, and actionable inspiration, she encourages goddesses everywhere to nurture their internal and external well-being—reminding them that, "When you place yourself on a pedestal and you take care of yourself and you nurture yourself, the world responds" (03:17).

2. Key Discussion Points & Insights

A. The Concept of Prioritizing Yourself (02:08–04:30)

• Jasmine shares her skincare ritual (using favorite travel-sized Tatcha products) as a live example of a self-care act.
• She discusses the psychological and energetic benefits: "Your priority of you should be up here, not down here, not here, but up here at the very top because you are a goddess" (02:38).
• The link between self-care and the world’s response: when you invest in yourself, others treat you accordingly.

B. Concrete Self-Care Practices (04:30–06:10)

• Scheduling self-care: Book massages, hair appointments, spa days—either solo or with friends.
• Jasmine’s goal: A full day each month devoted solely to wellness and relaxation—including pedicure, manicure, facial, and disconnecting from work or social media.
• Self-care isn’t selfish: "Self care days shouldn't be selfish…actually let me backtrack. Self care days should be selfish…self care days should be all about you, about truly relaxing and being present" (06:02).

C. Why Self-Care Matters (09:12–10:49)

• Not prioritizing yourself leads to stagnation in work, friendships, and relationships.
• Jasmine cautions against constantly pouring energy into others while neglecting your own needs: "We're problem solving everyone else but you. You matter, Goddess" (09:15).

D. The Power of Disconnection (10:10–12:00)

• Jasmine advocates for ‘quiet’ self-care: "You just disconnect. When you disconnect, I truly believe you're able to connect with your higher self" (10:35).
• Disconnecting enables reflection on personal desires, needs, and the direction you want to take into the New Year.

E. Personal Story: Generational Lessons (12:00–16:20)

• Jasmine recounts her grandmother’s life as an example: always giving to others, rarely herself.
• On her grandmother’s last days, Jasmine realized: "It was almost like she couldn't allow herself to have her self care...she gave to everyone but didn't give back to herself" (13:50).
• Societal beliefs and upbringing (e.g., "being selfish is a big no-no") can lead women to put themselves last. Jasmine urges: "Not to your own detriment. Not to the place where you are pouring everything into other people and your cup is empty or your cup is half" (15:09).
• Encouragement to give from “overflow,” not emptiness.

F. Book Recommendation: The Four Agreements (12:35–15:00)

• Jasmine reads a passage and unpacks the message of breaking free from ‘domesticated’ beliefs that limit self-care and personal empowerment.
• She stresses the need to challenge and rewrite the narratives we inherit, especially those that minimize our needs.

G. Setting Self-Care Boundaries Moving Forward (16:25–18:06)

• The episode closes with a challenge: Pick one day each month in 2026 to drastically prioritize yourself—disconnect, don’t play the problem-solver, and honor your “goddess” energy.
• "You are going to be your go to person for yourself, for your self care, for your feminine energy, for your feminine health, for you Goddess" (17:58).
