✨ Episode Description:

What happens when depression creeps in after the comeback?
After the growth?
After therapy?

In this soul-baring diary-style episode, Jasmine opens up about what it looked like to crash emotionally after doing “all the right things.” From grief and job loss to illness, injustice, and intimate heartbreak, Jasmine shares how everything finally caught up with her—and how she chose to show up anyway.

This episode is a sacred space for anyone who’s ever felt ashamed for needing rest after rising.

🧘🏽‍♀️ Guided Meditation

“Return to Your Enoughness”
This 4-minute guided meditation is a soft reset for the soul. Jasmine gently leads you through grounding breathwork and intuitive affirmation, helping you reconnect with your body, your breath, and your worth — especially when you don’t feel like “enough.”

Whether you’ve hit a wall, relapsed into old patterns, or just need a quiet moment to remember who you are… this meditation was made for you.

No fluff. No fixing. Just presence. Just love.

📜 Lessons Learned

After crashing post-comeback — despite therapy, growth, and all the “right steps” — Jasmine shares what healing actually looks like behind the scenes:

Your body knows when it’s time to pause.
Your breakdown doesn’t cancel your breakthrough.
Your softness is still sacred.
And joy can be as small as a sticker… and still holy.

This isn’t about bouncing back.
It’s about being honest about the fall—
and choosing yourself in the dark anyway.

These aren’t just lessons.
They’re reminders for anyone navigating the shadows while still holding a vision for their light.

✨ Episode Description:

What happens when healing doesn’t come wrapped in candles, crystals, and calm? When it looks more like job loss, hospital visits, emotional chaos, and pulling yourself off the bathroom floor?

In this raw and sovereign birthday reflection, Jasmine shares how her healing journey this past year got ghetto real quick — and how it also delivered her back to her divine assignment. From a misdiagnosed cancer scare to a toxic relationship, the death of her father, and the birth of this very podcast, Jasmine reveals how grief, grief, and sacred reclamation led her back to herself.

📝 Episode Description:

In this deeply personal episode, Jasmine shares the moment that shattered her illusions — and sparked her awakening. After a terrifying encounter with police involving her son in the midst of a mental health crisis, Jasmine found herself face-to-face with a truth many Black mothers know all too well:

No one is coming to save us.

What followed was not just a breakdown, but a spiritual breakthrough — one that forced her to stop waiting for a rescue and start choosing herself. With raw honesty and unfiltered emotion, Jasmine unpacks what it means to shift from martyrdom to sovereignty, from surviving for everyone else to living for herself.

This episode is for the mothers, the caretakers, the healers, and the strong ones who’ve ever felt like they were drowning in silence. It’s a love letter to those doing the most with the least — and learning to become their own safe place.

💬 Guided Meditation:

A short, grounding meditation titled “Coming Home to Myself” follows this episode, helping you reconnect to your own power, peace, and self-trust.

💭 Lessons Learned:

• No one is coming to save you — but you don’t need saving. You need you.
• Children can be a part of your purpose, but not your entire reason for existing
• Setting boundaries doesn’t mean you don’t love people — it means you’re finally loving yourself
• Even in the wreckage, you can still rebuild something sacred

📘 Episode Description:
In this powerful episode of The Chronicles of a Black Lesbian Mom: Healing Like a Motha, host Guided by Jasmine tackles a question she's been asked time and time again:
“How can you be a lesbian and a mother at the same time?”

With honesty, humor, and spiritual depth, Jasmine opens up about the judgment she’s faced from both inside and outside the LGBTQ+ community, the rejection she experienced within the church, and the complexity of raising children in a world that often refuses to make space for the fullness of her identity.

She shares how her queerness shaped her motherhood, how religion tried to silence her calling, and how she fought — and continues to fight — to reclaim every part of herself.

This episode is a love letter to anyone who's ever been told they couldn’t be both. Jasmine is here to say: you already are.

✨ Guided Meditation (Starts around [insert timestamp]):
A 4-minute practice to help listeners release shame, reclaim their wholeness, and affirm the sacredness of being “both.”
“I am enough. I am whole. I am both.”

📚 Lessons Learned:

• Being queer and being a mother are not in conflict — they are in communion.
• Rejection doesn’t define you; it redirects you back to your truth.
• You don’t have to choose between the parts of you.
• A calling doesn’t need church walls to be holy.
• Acceptance starts from within — and radiates outward.

🎧 Listen if you’re ready to:

• Challenge the stereotypes around queer parenting
• Reclaim your truth outside the walls of religion
• Break generational cycles with love and honesty
• Be reminded that you are already enough

📌 Episode Summary:
In the final installment of Buried Truths: My Father, His Death, and My Healing, I sit with the raw aftermath of my father’s funeral—and the waves of pain that kept crashing long after the casket closed. From facing one of my childhood perpetrators again… to being hit with a possible cancer diagnosis… to watching the dysfunction in my family reemerge right after laying my father to rest—this wasn’t closure. It was confrontation.

This diary entry is messy. Vulnerable. Raging. And sacred.
It’s a mirror for anyone who’s ever tried to grieve while surviving.

✨ Guided Meditation: “I Am the Medicine”
I also include a gentle, 3-minute meditation to ground yourself after listening. It’s a reminder that you’re not broken—you’re becoming.

Access is inside the episode.

💎 Lessons Learned:

• Perpetrators thrive in silence—I won't be silent anymore.
• Apologies aren’t the same as accountability.
• Boundaries are sacred, especially in grief.
• Sometimes healing means walking away—even from family.

📌 Episode Summary:
I thought I was ready. I thought I had it together. But when the casket closed, so did the lid on a lifetime of suppressed emotions.

In this raw, final walk-through of my father’s funeral, burial, and repass, I open up about grieving in the presence of fake smiles, old predators, and a family name wrapped in complicated love.

From social anxiety to sacred boundaries, this episode is about more than death—it’s about telling the truth, even when no one wants to hear it. And it’s about learning how to release pain without needing permission.

If you've ever buried someone physically while still holding emotional weight, this one’s for you.

From EMDR sessions and doctor visits to spiritual coaching, journaling, and reclaiming her voice, Jasmine invites listeners into her real-time journey of rebuilding.

🧠 Episode Summary:

What happens when grief and rage arrive together—uninvited and unapologetic?

In this raw and unflinching episode, Jasmine walks us through the spiritual and emotional chaos that unfolded during her father’s funeral and viewing. From church betrayals and unspoken family wounds to facing childhood predators in the pews, this episode is a sacred release.

She reflects on choosing her father’s final outfit, re-entering a church that once hurt her, and confronting the disrespectful eulogy “memory” that revealed an affair her father had during his marriage. As if that wasn’t enough, Jasmine is approached by three different men from her past—men who once preyed on her—and she makes a powerful decision to protect her inner child in real time.

This episode is more than storytelling—it’s a reclamation of power.

🧘🏽‍♀️ Guided Meditation: “I Am Safe to Speak My Truth”

At the close of the episode, Jasmine leads a healing 3-minute meditation for daughters, survivors, and preacher’s kids who were once silenced by shame or manipulation.

• You are not “too much” for telling the truth
• Righteous rage can be a sacred invitation into healing
• Childhood violations are never your fault—no matter what you were wearing
• When the church fails to protect, protect yourself anyway
• You get to stand up for your inner child, even if no one else ever did
