Friend, if you’ve ever felt scared to put yourself out there online, or wondered, “Who am I to be visible?” — you are not alone.

In this powerful episode of The Jasmine Star Show, I’m sharing something special… a behind-the-scenes seat to a panel I had the honor of sitting on at the Powerhouse Women event in Scottsdale, Arizona, hosted by my dear friend Lindsay Schwartz. It was called the Podcast Entrepreneur panel, and the energy in the room? UNREAL.

I wasn’t up there alone. I was joined by Krista Williams, new author and host of Almost 30, and Lori Harder, founder of Lite Pink and host of Earn Your Happy. These women are POWERFUL. And together we tackled the real, gritty, emotional journey of being visible in our businesses… and what it really takes to show up consistently when you’re tired, scared, or doubting yourself.

Here’s what we dig into:

  • ✨ What it means to reveal the next version of yourself (even when it’s messy)
  • 💥 How to handle judgment—both from others and yourself
  • 🔥 Why your mission has to be louder than your fear
  • 📆 How we practically batch content and honor our seasons
  • 💡 What it really looks like to create from overflow, not obligation

Let me be honest: most days, I don’t feel like creating content. I don’t want to talk to an empty room. I don’t want to post something that feels vulnerable. But I do it anyway… and that’s what we get real about in this episode.

You’ll hear me say this on stage, and I’ll say it again here: My calling cannot be governed by my circumstances. If you needed a reminder that your voice matters, this is it.

So if you’ve been holding back… if you’ve been waiting until you “feel” ready… let this episode be the fire that reminds you: the world needs what only YOU can offer.

Let’s be real for a second: how often do we actually talk about building a business that we can step away from, sell, or pass down to our kids?

Not often enough—and that’s exactly why I had to bring back Shay Bacani for another powerhouse conversation on the podcast.

If you haven’t heard Shay speak before, brace yourself: she’s not here to stroke egos or play small. She’s here to drop hard truths about wealth, assets, and why many women are unknowingly trapping themselves in beautiful, successful—but unsellable—lifestyle businesses.

I first met Shay when she spoke at my mastermind in April 2025, and y’all…she left no crumbs. I watched as she challenged a room full of 7-figure female founders to rewire their entire view of money, time, and scale. I knew right then I had to bring her back on the show.

In this episode, we unpack:

  • Why building a lifestyle business can become a golden cage.
  • The difference between a brand that makes money vs. one that builds wealth.
  • How to restructure your company so it’s not dependent on you (hello, real asset!).
  • Why most women entrepreneurs aren’t dreaming big enough—and how to change that today.

And the best part? Shay doesn’t just talk in theory. She walks the walk, having built a company that generates recurring revenue whether she’s working or not.

One of my favorite moments? When she challenged us to take our annual revenue goal and reverse-engineer it until it made sense as a weekly target. Whew! That exercise alone will change how you think about scale and efficiency.

This is the kind of episode I wish existed when I started. It’s the conversation that can take your mindset from “making 7 figures” to “building a business worth 8.”

If you’re ready to stop being the bottleneck in your company, dream a little bigger (or, let’s be honest, a LOT bigger), and finally build something that can outlive you, press play.

You’re going to feel seen, challenged, and—most importantly—equipped to make real change.

[02:42] Why 7-figure advice often misses the real goal: building an asset

Friend, let’s talk about the F-word. No, not that one—though let’s be honest, that one’s had its moment too. 😅

Today, I want to talk about a word that can make or break your business: focus.

If you’ve ever felt pulled in a thousand directions (like trying to launch a new product while answering emails, folding laundry, and simultaneously thinking about another business idea), you are not alone. Been there. Bought the t-shirt. Wore it while multitasking on Zoom.

In this episode of The Jasmine Star Show, I’m pulling back the curtain on the one thing that’s radically transformed how I lead, grow, and actually scale—and that’s my obsession with focus.

Here’s the truth: Focus isn’t a talent. It’s a discipline. And it can be your best friend… or your frenemy.

Over the last two years, I’ve done a deep dive (and I mean deep) into how I spend my time, how my team operates, and what’s truly driving the needle in my business. The result? I worked myself out of several jobs I no longer needed to be doing and finally stepped into my role as CEO.

In this episode, I’m walking you through the 3 things I did to get laser-focused:

  1. Time Audits: Yep, I tracked everything I did for two weeks. It was annoying, eye-opening, and completely necessary.
  2. Team Time Audits: I asked my team to do the same—and what we discovered helped us realign the business with the vision instead of just the to-do list.
  3. Working Myself Out of a Job: I created systems and delegated with intention so I could finally do the high-level thinking required to cast bold vision.

But here’s what no one tells you: when you finally create blank space in your calendar, it feels… terrifying.

I don’t like being alone with my thoughts. I like doing. I like building. But real leadership isn’t about doing all the things. It’s about thinking the right things—and then leading your team with clarity.

In 2025, the digital landscape is shifting. Trust is harder to earn. Buyers are more skeptical. And the businesses that succeed? They’ll be led by people who have the vision to see past the busywork and the discipline to focus on what matters most.

So if you’ve been craving more clarity, structure, and actual momentum, this episode is for you.

Here’s to making space… and using it wisely. 💫

How to Prioritize When Everything Feels Important https://jasminestar.com/podcast/episode576/ Thu, 04 Sep 2025 07:00:00 +0000 https://jasminestar.com/?post_type=podcast&p=33232 If your to-do list feels longer than a CVS receipt, welcome home.

If your to-do list feels longer than a CVS receipt, welcome home. This episode is for the high-achievers, the overthinkers, the multi-taskers, and anyone who’s ever wondered: What should I actually focus on today?

Friend, I’ve been there. For years, I tried to “do it all”—and ended up spinning my wheels, chasing “urgent” over “important,” and wondering why my days were full but my progress felt…meh. That’s why, in this episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on the exact prioritization framework I teach to my seven-figure mastermind clients (yes, the ones scaling to eight figures).

This isn’t some fluffy theory. It’s a step-by-step process I walked them through—live—in Newport Beach. And now? I want to bring you into the room.

Grab a journal, pause when needed, and walk through this simple but powerful exercise to get crystal-clear on:

  • What you’ve already accomplished this year (more than you think!)
  • What MUST get done by year-end (let’s stop playing small)
  • How to filter ideas and opportunities for strategic execution

Spoiler alert: The biggest breakthroughs came not from hustle…but from white space. Yup, we journaled for 10 minutes. (And yes, some of them flew cross-country to do it!)

Because when you create space to think, you create clarity to act.

You’ll also hear me share a personal story about my daughter, Luna, asking her dad to “grab her hand” to trace letters. And guess what? That moment hit me hard. Because I realized I still do the same thing—ask for someone to “grab my hand” when I feel overwhelmed. And it reminded me: we don’t have to do this alone.

Whether you’re building your dream team, launching something new, or simply trying to stop drowning in decisions, this episode will help you:

  • Anchor your goals in reality, not wishful thinking
  • Filter your priorities for what actually moves the needle
  • Build a business that supports your life—not the other way around

This isn’t just about doing more. It’s about doing what matters most.

Let’s stop being busy and start being effective.

Let’s talk about the unspoken epidemic plaguing high achievers: perfectionism, scarcity thinking, and the belief that our worth is tied to how hard we work.

In today’s episode of the Jasmine Star Show, I sit down with the powerhouse coach, speaker, and recovering perfectionist Keren Eldad—and y’all, this conversation is the permission slip we didn’t know we needed.

Keren has worked with everyone from world leaders to Olympic athletes to multi-million dollar entrepreneurs, and what do they all have in common? The drive to succeed often masks a deep fear of being “not enough.”

We unpack what it means to chase success through an adversarial mindset—where everything feels like a competition against time, people, and even ourselves. But here’s the truth bomb: You don’t have to be in pain to perform.

Keren introduces us to the radical idea that easing up doesn’t mean slacking off. It means leading with gentleness, not judgment. Holding high standards without spiraling into shame. Allowing success to feel… dare I say it… easy.

If you’ve ever:

  • Mistaken your edge for anxiety
  • Felt guilty for resting
  • Thought you weren’t a perfectionist but still obsessed over “getting it right”

…then buckle up. This episode is your mirror and your medicine.

We talk about:

  • How most “abundant” thinkers are actually operating from scarcity
  • Why burnout is often disguised as ambition
  • How overachievers use “hard work” to avoid healing
  • And how to rewire our patterns to build sustainable, soul-aligned success

Keren doesn’t just drop gems—she drops frameworks. And y’all know I love a framework.

As a recovering perfectionist myself, I felt called out in the best way possible. This convo reminded me that sometimes, ease is the edge. And letting go doesn’t mean falling behind—it means flying further.

Grab your journal, your coffee, or a walk around the block… this episode is going to get you thinking differently about the way you work, the way you lead, and the way you live.

Click play to hear all of this and:

[00:02] Why most high achievers operate from scarcity (even if they don’t know it)

[00:55] “Do you view the world as abundant or adversarial?” – the question that changes everything

[04:11] Why letting go of perfectionism doesn’t mean losing your edge

[06:02] The dark side of hustle culture and how it nearly made Keren quit her own business

[07:35] Why most perfectionists don’t think they are (and how to spot it in yourself)

[09:57] The real reason we resist rest (and what to do about it)

Let’s be real: building relationships in business can feel awkward, overwhelming, or straight-up confusing. How do you connect with someone you admire without coming off too strong? How do you stay connected without it feeling forced? And how the heck do you build a network that actually supports your goals and feels authentic?

Welcome to the club, friend. I’ve wrestled with these questions too, and in this episode of The Jasmine Star Show, I’m peeling back the curtain on how I’ve intentionally built relationships that have opened doors, created deeper friendships, and grown my business in the process.

I’m sharing the three-part framework I personally use to nurture and expand my network—and spoiler alert: it doesn’t involve cheesy DMs or awkward small talk.

Here’s the breakdown:

✨ Step 1: Ask Where People Live

This might sound simple, but it’s so powerful. Knowing where someone lives gives you the opportunity to:

  • Plan in-person connections when you’re in town
  • Make local recommendations
  • Send thoughtful surprise-and-delight gifts (like a facial at a local spa!) I share how I did this with powerhouse entrepreneurs like Cassey Ho and Valerie in my mastermind—and how it led to meaningful podcast interviews and deeper connections.

✨ Step 2: Build a System for Follow-Up

Relationship-building shouldn’t be random. I walk you through how my team and I use Notion to organize potential podcast guests and collaborators by city, allowing me to make intentional asks when I travel.

This system helped me finally record a long-awaited interview with Cassey Ho in Austin—and it can help you be just as strategic and thoughtful in your own outreach.

✨ Step 3: Personalized, Strategic Outreach

I believe in connecting people, even when it doesn’t benefit me directly. Good begets good.

From following up after events to gifting personalized items based on someone’s love language (shoutout to candles and candy bars!), I show you how thoughtful gestures can deepen professional relationships and set you apart.

This episode isn’t just about building your “network”—it’s about creating real relationships that are rooted in generosity, authenticity, and long-term value.

So whether you want to expand your peer group, connect with someone you admire, or get into new rooms that challenge you to grow… this framework is your starting line.

Grab your coffee (or favorite caffeinated drink), and let’s chat. Because if you’re ready to build a thriving network that doesn’t feel gross or gimmicky… this episode is for you.

[05:52] Creating a simple but powerful system for follow-up using Notion

[07:15] Using outreach and podcast interviews to build authentic relationships (with real examples)

Can I share the BEST thing I’ve done for my business this year?

It’s not a new funnel. It’s not hiring a new team member. And it’s definitely not working harder.

It’s something so simple, but completely transformative: creating blank space.

In this episode, I’m inviting you behind the scenes into my Mastermind and sharing a deeply personal, raw, and unscripted conversation about what happened when I intentionally carved out space in my calendar—not for hustle, but for growth.

This is not a tidy “here’s my 3-step framework” kind of episode. This is a real-time, unscripted download of how I finally stopped betraying myself by overcommitting… and started honoring the space that allows ideas, strategy, and opportunity to flow.

I reveal how creating true blank space (not a vacation, not a break, but an intentional pause) shifted everything for me—including an unexpected invite to a private mastermind with Brendon Burchard that led to a major pivot in our product suite and funnels.

Here’s what you’ll hear in this episode:

  • The messy, honest realization that I wasn’t prioritizing my own growth
  • The difference between rest, recharge, and blank space (yes, they’re very different!)
  • What happened when I blocked 3 weekdays for myself—and what that revealed about my business
  • How one courageous decision to stop “doing” created massive clarity in my vision for 2025
  • Why I now have a recurring monthly “Deep Work Day” and what I do during that time

This episode isn’t about teaching. It’s about documenting a shift in real time. If you’ve ever felt like you’re constantly doing but not progressing, this is for you.

Here’s the truth: I used to believe that being “busy” meant I was building. But what I’ve learned is that space—not hustle—is what creates breakthroughs.

This is the inside scoop on how I’m preparing to grow with more ease, joy, and alignment in 2025. And friend, if I can change the way I operate—so can you.

Let this be your permission slip.

Join the waitlist and be first to know when I open applications for my next 7-Figure Mastermind here: jasminestar.com/mastermind


Let me guess… your to-do list looks like a CVS receipt. You know what needs to get done, but you’re constantly asking yourself, “What should I do first?”

Friend, you’re not alone.

Whether you’re scaling past 7 figures or juggling multiple team members, the question I hear most often in my mastermind is: “I know what to do… but what’s the right order?”

So in this episode, I’m sharing something straight from a recent mastermind call I hosted with powerhouse women scaling their businesses to $5M, $7M, and beyond. (Spoiler alert: their struggles might sound very familiar.)

We talk about:

  • Why doing more isn’t the answer—you need a system
  • The difference between urgent and important (yep, there’s a difference!)
  • My 3-tier decision-making hierarchy—think of it like a wedding cake but with more spreadsheets
  • Real examples from actual founders (with permission!) that will help you map this strategy to your own business

This framework has helped some of the most successful entrepreneurs I coach figure out exactly what to prioritize—without getting lost in the weeds.

If you’re tired of being stuck in the bottom tier of your business (read: putting out fires, managing details, being in 87 Slack channels at once), this episode is for you.

Let’s get you back to CEO mode.

🎯 Oh, and if you’re curious about what it’s like inside the mastermind or want to be on the waitlist for when doors open again, head to jasminestar.com/mastermind. I’d love to see your name there.

[00:00] Why you’re not “behind” in business—and what every 7-figure founder feels but doesn’t say out loud

[00:57] The common pattern Jasmine noticed across multiple 7-figure businesses

[02:48] The three-tier hierarchy framework that helps you decide what to do next

[04:39] How to define your involvement at each tier—top-level strategy vs. bottom-level grunt work

I didn’t know how stuck I was until I sat down with Dr. Natasha Jordan.

In this powerful, vulnerable, and deeply transformative conversation, I share the behind-the-scenes of one of the most pivotal journeys I’ve had as a leader… and the woman who helped me walk through it.

Dr. Natasha is an executive coach, industrial-organizational psychologist, and consultant to 7- and 8-figure entrepreneurs who want to do the unseen work to have a visible impact. She guided me through a four-month experience inside an executive coaching program with the Sasha Group (a VaynerMedia company)—and our work together changed everything for me.

Here’s what you’ll hear inside this honest AF conversation:

  • Why a leadership print assessment rocked me to my core
  • The emotional triggers I didn’t know were sabotaging my growth
  • How childhood coping mechanisms became business habits
  • The internal pothole I kept covering instead of repairing—and how it impacted my leadership
  • What happened on my call with Gary Vee after doing the work with Dr. Natasha
  • The difference between self-awareness and self-intelligence
  • Patterns from other 7-figure founders (yep, you’re not alone!)
  • Why “strong and self-reliant” might be keeping you stuck
  • How to reframe what it really means to be a powerful leader

This isn’t just a business podcast episode. It’s a call to rise into the next version of yourself.

Whether you’re navigating burnout, trying to scale a team, or wondering why success still feels heavy—this episode will speak straight to your soul.

Because we don’t need to keep going with the flow…

It’s time to turn the blows into flows.
