What if the world is changing faster than you can catch your breath? What if standing strong is no longer strength — but exhaustion dressed as endurance?

In Episode 95 of It’s The Human Experience, Hazel dives deep into the stretch between who you used to be and who you’re becoming — the tension, the tenderness, and the truth you can’t un-hear.

This episode unpacks:

• Why bending isn’t weakness — it’s evolution
• The hidden cost of “being strong all the time”
• How to transform your personal valley
• Why nostalgia matters (yes, K-Mart & Blockbuster included)
• The power of un-becoming what no longer fits
• How to maintain what you manifested
• Why alignment demands community
• And how to prepare for a future that’s shifting daily

Hazel also shares the first look at the Human AF Virtual Summit, a healing-centered space for dreamers, doers, and everyday humans ready to evolve with intention. DM me on instagram.com/itshumanAF for your personal link to attend starting December 28th, 2025

Whether you’re listening from London, D.C., Atlanta, Vegas or anywhere energy moves fast, this episode will meet you exactly where you are — in the stretch.

Reflection Prompt:
Where in my life am I resisting evolution because it feels unfamiliar — and what would happen if I trusted my alignment instead?

Affirmations:
✨ I evolve without losing who I am.
✨ I was chosen for this season.
✨ I don’t fold — I flow.

We talk:

Faith and growth podcast, evolution and alignment, self-worth healing, human experience, personal development, mental wellness, emotional resilience, women’s empowerment, transformation journey, Vegas, London, D.C. Atlanta, LA, NYC, Oregon, Houston, Dallas - everywhere!

spiritual growth, Human AF, Hazel Atkinson-Brown

A real, raw conversation about manifesting from faith, not fear. Learn how to stay aligned, protect your peace, and hold what you’ve prayed for in a noisy, shifting world.

This one’s real. It’s raw. It’s the conversation you didn’t know you needed.

In this episode of It’s The Human Experience, Hazel sits at the intersection of noise, gratitude, and growth — asking what success even means anymore. From Beyoncé’s resilience to Tasha Cobbs’ faith through depression, we explore how even the strongest people face misalignment on their way to purpose.

You’ll learn what manifest really means (and where the word even came from), how to tell when you’re manifesting from fear instead of faith, and what to do when the blessing you prayed for finally shows up — but you don’t feel ready to hold it.

This is about the quiet courage to keep believing, even when the world is loud. Because you don’t lose blessings — you lose alignment. And you can always realign.

In this episode:

• What “manifestation” really means — beyond the vision boards
• The truth about manifesting from lack vs alignment
• How to stop proving your worth and start protecting your peace
• Why belief is the bridge between faith and follow-through
• Three tools Hazel uses to stay aligned when life feels heavy
• Plus: Real stories from Beyoncé, Tasha Cobbs, Mariah Carey, and more

Reflection Prompts:

1. Am I asking for what aligns with my peace — or what validates my pain?
2. Who around me supports my growth — and who silently resists it?

Affirmations:
💭 I no longer manifest from fear — I manifest from faith.
💭 I’m becoming the kind of person who can hold what I’ve prayed for.
💭 What’s aligned with me will always find its way back.

This episode we'll have a candid conversation about stillness, learning to pause before you pour, and why presence is so valuable.

If you’ve been the fixer, the driver, or the visionary who’s quietly tired, this is your permission slip to rest without shame, rebuild your confidence, and reconnect to your purpose.

You’ll unpack the three layers of peace:
1️⃣ Cutting chaos with boundaries.
2️⃣ Honoring your calling with obedience.
3️⃣ Evolving into a seasoned calm built on faith, clarity, and consistent action.

Healing from burnout| Faith and purpose | Personal growth | Mindset and alignment

I’ll walk you through how to find the courage, similar to episode 74 where we feel the fear and do it anyway, silence self-doubt, and rebuild a growth mindset rooted in self-worth and spiritual alignment.

Because overcoming fear, building confidence, and unlocking your potential are all part of your transformation — and peace is the proof that it’s working.

I’ll share what the pandemic taught me about healing, purpose, burnout recovery, and balance — how to go back to the root so you can move forward with intention. Less noise. More truth. More community.

Ready to feel the fear and do it anyway, overcome self-doubt, build confidence, and step out of your comfort zone to live a life that actually feels like yours?

Tap play and join the conversation about courage, transformation, motivation, and living in alignment with who you were created to be.

In This Episode

• Reframing stillness as synchronization
• The “pause before you pour” maintenance metaphor
• Mirror work for the fixer who needs fixing
• Duality of career + entrepreneurship without guilt
• Redefining peace beyond metrics and applause
• Vision casting with five-year questions
• Presence at home over performance online
• Letting go to reach the next level with faith
• Community, accountability, and proximity to peace

What if the pressure you’re under isn’t here to break you — but to reveal you?

In this episode of It’s the Human Experience, Hazel Brown speaks straight to your soul about what it really takes to thrive in hard seasons.

You’ll discover:

• Why worry drains you, giving up disqualifies you, and over-performing burns you out.
• How faith, trust, and purpose can protect your peace, your future, and even your brain.

This episode isn’t fluff — it’s a call. If you’ve been tired, tempted to stop, or stuck in self-doubt, this is your reminder: you’re not buried, you’re planted. And planted things grow.

From healing people-pleasing tendencies to building a faith-centered business empire, Jasmine Hawks takes us on her remarkable journey of transformation and growth in this candid conversation.

As a mother of four who spent 14 years as a stay-at-home mom, Jasmine shares how she navigated the challenging transition into entrepreneurship while keeping her family at the center. "I have to spend time with my kids, I have to spend time with my husband because I am doing this for them," she explains, highlighting the importance of creating boundaries that protect what matters most.

When faced with overwhelming business challenges, Jasmine reveals her grounding techniques: "I go to my husband because he keeps me grounded... I'm constantly praying and asking God to help to give me wisdom." This faith-centered approach has become the foundation of her business philosophy, leading her to create the Becoming Her Magazine and the Fearless Flock social club—spaces where faith isn't just acknowledged but celebrated.

Particularly insightful is Jasmine's rejection of hustle culture: "God does not want us to deplete ourselves... Yes, push forward to your dreams, don't give up, but don't overwork yourself, because then it changes your viewpoint of the dream." Her perspective challenges popular notions that success requires sacrifice of health and relationships, offering instead a sustainable approach to achievement.

For anyone struggling with people-pleasing tendencies, battling perfectionism, or trying to align business goals with personal values, Jasmine's story provides both validation and practical wisdom. Her journey reminds us that we don't have to compromise who we are to achieve success—in fact, embracing our authentic selves might be the very key to unlocking our unique path forward.

Your Valley Isn’t Punishment — It’s Preparation

Have you ever felt like you’re stuck between who you are and who you’re becoming?
That strange space where your dreams are so clear you can see them — but they still feel out of reach? You’re not alone.

This episode is for the dreamers, the doers, and the ones in their becoming season. I’m talking about those quiet, uncomfortable valleys where faith is tested, doubt creeps in, and everything feels slower than you imagined.

Here’s what we explore:
✨ Living in between dreams — why this middle ground is where your deepest growth happens
✨ Why it’s not “fake it till you make it” — it’s faith it till you make it
✨ How to discern when to pour from your cup… and when to refill it first
✨ Lessons the valley teaches you about people, process, and purpose
✨ Why becoming feels lonely — and why that’s a sign you’re on the right path

Through my own personal stories, reflections, and revelations, we’ll unpack what it really means to keep working the dream when no one sees it yet.

Your current situation isn’t your final destination. It’s preparation for the life, calling, and abundance you can’t yet imagine.

💌 If this resonates, share it with someone in their valley season. Let’s grow, glow, and trust God’s timing — together.
