CHECK OUT A FEW OF THE EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS:

[1:18]: I did not, honestly. And it was not in my plan to become an entrepreneur. I absolutely assumed that I would be in this corporate setting, and then moving my way up through leadership, and then the C-suite and the retirement. That was literally the plan…

[6:22]: Yeah. And then, too, I was a mother at the time, and so I had set a tone for myself to say, Okay, you're going to be that working mother. You're going to be getting up at seven and then coming home at seven…

[10:52]: So, no. I consider myself a multi-passionate individual. I really like a lot of different myriad of things. I love to create things and explore things that I'm interested in. And so, I had always had a goal when I was young to be in a magazine…

[14:09]: So, it wasn't about followers at the time. Well, it was about comments. That's what it's about. If you talk to some influencers that have been doing it as long as I have, it was mainly readership…

[21:00]: Ultimately, it's not a bad thing. But if you can hire someone to help you set the foundation for your business to grow, then drag and drop is really not going to help you…

[26:49]: Say that again. Because people don't understand. They have their whole businesses on social media or rented land…

[31:52]: I am. I am hiring right now for a junior website manager. Actually, I posted my job description on LinkedIn, so I've been having a few, and I'm still sorting through those. And so, I am hiring. But yes, it is very eye-opening…

[36:17]: Also, I've been finding an interest too in Melanie Perkins. She's the person who created Canva. And she's a year younger than me. And I'm like, Girl, what do you ... I want to talk to her…

Coach Jasmine LIVE: Get Out Your Shears Because It’s Pruning Season

Have you ever been in a space where it feels like no matter what you do, or don’t do, people, situations, and opportunities seem to just fall right out of your eco-system? It can be super frustrating and lonely when this happens but you are not alone and what you feel is completely normal. This feeling is called your “pruning season” and I’m taking you with me into my Instagram Live where I talk about my own pruning season and what I do to get through it stronger and better!

If you’re looking for some motivation to get you through your own pruning season, make sure you listen to episode 19 on Apple Podcasts now!

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• What is pruning season
• How to get through your pruning season
• What’s the number one thing you have to do when you are in your pruning season

Check out a few of the episode highlights: 

[0:02]: This is not just some girl’s trip. This is me transitioning to another stage of my life. And I want you all to be there to share with me. And y'all just kind of dropped me like a bad habit…

[4:06]: I'm gonna be talking about pruning season. Snip snip. If you've been feeling a little awkward, if you've been feeling like things have just kind of been dropping out of your ecosystem, then this is probably why…

[7:05]: I had about maybe six or seven people that I was planning on doing my bachelorette party with and all dropped out except for one. Like, I just felt, I started to feel really down on myself…

[12:16]: Look at the other side of the coin and think about, okay, what is the positive here? What's the lesson here…

[16:07]: And so during your pruning season, when stuff is crazy and is happening and you need that explanation, think about like, just pause and appreciate the one thing…

[21:24]: I had a blast girl. I tore up, I tore it up. Man. Oh, that was a fun weekend. That was a fun weekend. By the second day, I was tired. I got two days in me in Vegas. That's all, that's all this 33-year-old body can handle is two days maximum…

[24:22]: I look to her to model, like how I want my community and me to vibe and how, how I want us to rock together. I look at how she rocks with her community and I'm like, that is how I want my community. That is how I want my people, my network to like, I, that's how I want us to experience one another…

[27:31]: I feel like now more than ever, we just need that connection. We need people to just tell us that it's okay. You're feeling like crap. You've been on the sofa for two days, two weeks.  you don't wanna do anything…

How To Leave Your Nine to Five with Christine James

My guest today is Christine James who is a bridge-builder for the 9 to 5’ers and the entrepreneurial lifestyle. After working at the Department of Defense for almost 10 years, she left her job and now focuses on helping her clients develop a job exit strategy while building their own successful brand! Today we are talking about her transition from the stability of a good government job to getting weird with her business and how she leads her clients through their own fail-proof exit strategy through her SHIFT program!

Christine’s kind-hearted and straight-to-the-point attitude will have you ready to say goodbye to your 9-5 and hello to your next chapter as a business owner! Listen now!

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• How being a little weird can take you to places you’ve never been
• When you should take the plunge into entrepreneurship
• How she transitioned from the Department of Defense to become a confidence coach and strategist

Check out a few of the episode highlights: 

[0:08]: I asked them when they're looking and I'm like, is it the freedom that you want? Do you know the difference? Because you may try to copy someone else. And I do feel like success is unique to all of them…

[3:04]: You can have a for-profit business and then go into a nonprofit. There's a difference and just show up in their brilliance and just breaking down how they can help others from their experience…

[10:10]: I still applied to dental school. I didn't get accepted. I applied again, but I didn't get accepted, and I remember looking at my vision board and seeing that I had coaching and speaking on there because now my mindset has changed. My time had freed up when I left my nine to five and I was just going to school…

[14:39]: She had a suck-up a fly in her nose. I don't suggest that for anyone to do, but she had to do those things so she could tap into a different world that she had this skill set in, but it was her skillset. It wasn't anybody else's. So it's the same thing with us…

[20:38]: You know, you be the boss you desired, you know, at one point and then just giving yourself that structure and that freedom. It's not that you're going to get lazy, and I think a lot of times that's a fear for some women…

[29:30]: It's the space you keep falling through. As you're walking your journey, you feel like you're always dipping…

[35:48]: I tell every single client when you say yes to your dream in your life, and you are in the process of transition at your nine to five, there's an acronym for yes, your elevation starts. And every time you're in elevation, there's going to be turbulence…

[39:41]: And I think a lot of times, too, as women, we kind of beat ourselves up for having emotions other than happiness. If that drains you, that drains you. So I would say just embrace it. Look at the thought you're having, because a lot of times it's going to be from synthesis…
