In this heartfelt conversation, Hazel Brown sits down with certified life coach Lorraine Lindsey to uncover what it means to surrender, trust yourself, and finally step into your true calling.

Lorraine vulnerably shares her journey from casino executive and EMT to life coach, revealing how external success left her unfulfilled until she embraced the unknown. She reminds us that clarity isn’t about knowing every step — it’s about listening to what resonates right now.

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.

Ever feel like you’re stuck in life’s potholes while everyone else seems to be speeding down smooth highways? You’re not alone. In this raw, audio-only episode, I open up about turning 40 — and the 40 hard-earned reflections that have carried me through deep valleys and unexpected victories.

These aren’t curated Instagram quotes. They’re battle-tested truths from someone still navigating her own valley season, yet standing on spiritual mountaintops at the same time. That beautiful contradiction — broken yet whole, struggling yet succeeding — is something so many of us feel but rarely say out loud.

From embracing slow seasons without shame to redefining success as peace, I share lessons that will shift how you see yourself, your relationships, your career, and your faith.

In this episode, we’ll talk about:

• Why the valley is where your roots deepen, not where your story ends
• How “slow” doesn’t mean “stuck” — and why growth speed isn’t your worth
• Why titles open doors but only character keeps you in the room
• How to set boundaries that protect your peace and energy
• The role of ownership — in your home, your ideas, and your financial stability
• How grief can both break you and grow you
• Why clarity often comes after obedience, not before
• What it means to be in the valley in the flesh but on the mountaintop in the spirit

This episode is both a mirror and a map — reflecting your own struggles while offering direction for your journey forward. Whether you’re stepping into a new chapter, pushing through a hard climb, or enjoying a season of abundance, these reflections will meet you exactly where you are.

Save this episode for when you need a reminder you’re not alone. Share it with a friend who might be ready to give up. And remember: these lessons aren’t mine alone — they belong to anyone ready to grow.
