Have you ever told yourself, “That’s not possible”?

Yeah… me too.

But what if the only thing stopping you wasn’t your circumstances—but your beliefs?

Today on the podcast, I sat down with Dr. Alan Barnard, one of the world’s leading experts in Theory of Constraints and decision-making. (Oh, and he casually dropped wisdom that might just rock your worldview.)

Alan and I met in the most “Jasmine” way possible—at a Malibu mastermind where I was late (don’t judge!) and he stood up to let me pass to my seat. A conversation later, he was handing me a children’s book for my daughter, and I knew we were meant to connect.

Fast forward to now, and this episode will have you asking a question Alan poses at the top of our conversation:

“What’s limiting you right now?”

And more importantly…

“What if it’s just a belief that you can change?”

We dive deep into:

• The difference between people who succeed and those who stay stuck
• The ONE belief that’s keeping most entrepreneurs small
• Why having “bad conditions” isn’t a valid excuse for bad results
• A goosebump-worthy story about a group of coal miners who thought hitting their goal was impossible—until Alan helped them rewire what they believed was true

But don’t worry—it’s not all frameworks and theory. This episode is grounded in real-life transformation, practical questions you can ask yourself TODAY, and a whole lot of love for those of us who are in a season of feeling stuck or like the end is near.

If you're navigating a crisis, feeling behind, or wondering if you can really catch up, this conversation is for you.

Dr. Barnard doesn’t just talk strategy—he meets people in the trenches of doubt, fear, and uncertainty and helps them find their next best move.

And friend, this episode is your next best move. 🎧
