My grandma had a spice drawer. Most people have a spice rack, but my Puerto Rican grandmother had a large drawer filled to the brim with cumin, garlic, sazon, and hundreds of others.

There was, however, one spice container that she left out of the drawer, on top of the stove light.

It was a spice container with a label that read: LOVE.

Yes, she sprinkled love into every meal.

As a child, I realized it was silly, but I was also wildly charmed by the idea.

As an adult, I follow her footsteps. (Not in the kitchen—lord help us all!—but when I cook up podcast episodes.)

I sprinkle love into each show because they’re all created by me, to empower you.

Yesterday I dropped an episode about Stopping Negative Talk (and the hidden anxiety pressures of building a business).

If I could have, I wouldn’t have sprinkled love, but broke the seal and SLATHERED love all over each word.

If you’ve ever wondered how to relieve anxiety (or anxious thoughts) or you experience worry rumination (thinking everything could go wrong), >>THIS<< episode is for you.

Well, it was for me…and you.

I created this show because I am documenting the process of breaking generations of anxiety, not just for the memory of my grandmother, but for my daughter’s future.

I want her to be able to build her dreams (be it a business, family, foundation, or a lemonade stand) without the presence of negative self talk and anxiety.

I’d love for you to watch yesterday’s show >>HERE on YouTube<< because I’d love to connect with you in the comments.

Let me know you’re there…I’d love to personally say hi, and thanks for journeying together.

Sprinkled with Love,

Can’t believe his AUDACITY! https://jasminestar.com/cant-believe-his-audacity/ Wed, 20 Aug 2025 07:00:00 +0000 https://jasminestar.com/?p=33213 We sat at dinner, the sun shining through the trees in my backyard.  He leaned over, held up two fingers, and said, “In baseball, there’s two ways to strike out: 1.

We sat at dinner, the sun shining through the trees in my backyard.  He leaned over, held up two fingers, and said, “In baseball, there’s two ways to strike out: 1. Swing and miss; or 2. Never swing at all.”

My friend wasn’t talking about sports, he was talking about life.

(To be clear, no one talks to me about sports because when I run it looks like I’m dragging a frozen turkey on my ankle, while pumping jazz hands at my sides.  Coincidentally, as a kid, I was always last picked for kickball.)

If life was a game of baseball, I’d be known for swinging my bat.  A lot.

And missing.  (I think they call it “whiffing”.)

My jersey wouldn’t have my last name on the back, it’d simply read: MS. WHIFFER.

I’ve whiffed more than I’ve hit.

And while I wish it wasn’t the case, I wouldn’t change anything.  Missing has taught me more than hitting a grand slam ever could.

(If you’re wondering when I’ll drop this baseball analogy, oh baby I’M JUST GETTING STARTED so take a bite of your Dodger dog because we ain’t stretching until the 7th inning!)

I once heard a story about a kid who had the chance to hit a pitch in Yankee stadium, a life-long dream of his.  Standing in a line of kids, he was told that everyone had a chance to hit.

He watched as the kids in front of him swung, missed, and walked out of the batter’s box.

When his time arrived, he stepped to the plate and ball whizzed right past him.  He shook his head, and waited for the next pitch.

Sailed right past him again.

The kids in line started complaining about how long he was taking, but he simply shook his head.

He yelled to the pitcher, “I’m going to stand here until I get a hit, so send something good my way!”

All these years later, I can’t forget that story.  What audacity.  To stand, wait, and trust you’ll get a hit when the time is right.

As a child, I wanted his audacity.  As an adult, I claim it.

I’ve chosen to stand in life’s batter box and wait until I get my hit.  It’s not easy, but if I strike out, I’ll be happier having taken a swing and missing, than never moving my bat at all.

I hope the same for you.

Life gives you more than three strikes,

j*

P.S. As summer ends, we’re spending as much time by the pool as possible…what’s your favorite end of summer tradition? I’d love to hear from you.

What I posted online: Business lunch meeting in Chicago with a brilliant founder filled with fancy sushi.

What happened behind-the-scenes: I pitched myself (more on that in the coming months!), I offered to pay for the bill, then I realized I LEFT MY WALLET ON THE PLANE.

What I posted online: Masterminding with incredible entrepreneurs in Chicago as we scale our businesses.

What happened behind-the-scenes: I felt like an imposter, battled anxiety, and faced some sad/heavy news with my family.

What I posted online: Hanging out with my daughter once I returned from Chicago.

What happened behind-the-scenes: Having a conversation with my husband/business partner about not wanting to travel without him and Luna…I don’t want to build without us at each others’ sides.

There’s so much that happens behind the scenes.

Things we won’t share publicly, things in the messy middle, things without a controllable solution.

But that’s not just business, it’s life.

Building requires us to flip between the idyllic, idiosyncratic, and idiotic mere seconds of each other.

I’ve—slowly—realized that the best way to remain grounded is by way of GRATITUDE.

I’m grateful for:

  • The flight attendant who turned my wallet into Lost & Found.
  • Friends who accept me as I am, and encourage my insights and feedback.
  • Family who holds me up, and pushes me on.
  • You, being here…journeying with me.

I’d love to connect with you and get to know what you’re grateful for today.

Respond and let me know. I want to be grateful with you.

To life behind the scenes,

j*

P.S. SOOO excited to share this verrrry behind-the-scenes conversation with PopFlex/Blogilates Founder, Cassey Ho, >>HERE<< on my podcast today. From self-funding an 8-figure business, to online haters, and building a business on her creativity…it’s a banger.

At the end of the call, I looked around and began to speak truth over their lives. Truth that is plain to see from the outside, but hard to read from inside.

Mostly, I explained in great detail how I saw them step into greater leadership and expand their potential, becoming stronger personally and professionally.

And I had receipts…

And that was just the tip of the iceberg…

Valerie reduced her churn by 2.2% for her software subscription, resulting in hundreds of thousands of dollars of extra retention revenue.

Heidi launched a new (beta) offer and made $70k in just five days.

Abbi strategized her content to get $0.52 leads to a sign-up page converting at 90%…and she got 20,000+ leads.

What once felt impossible happened so quickly—yet imperceptibly—that I needed to remind the women in my mastermind just how FAR they’d come.

Today I’m opening applications for my mastermind…one day I hope I get to look across at you and show you how far you’ve come by surrounding yourself with incredible 7-figure female entrepreneurs.

To begin the mastermind application process, click >HERE< for details.

More than anything, I hope that their shared history can paint a picture of what’s possible for your future.

I keep receipts,

It was unexpected, happenstance, divine timing 💫 We all happened to be in Nashville on the same day.

Amy Porterfield calls it home. Bonnie Christine was in town to meet with her mentor. Jenna Kutcher and Stacy Tuschl were in town to speak at an event. And I was in Nashville for a meeting…

…and next thing we knew, we piled in Amy’s house for the day to brainstorm, mastermind, and vision-cast.

We applied pressure, asked questions, and talked about new pathways for growth.

Sometimes you find yourself in the right place, at the right time….in these moments, revel in the journey.

But here’s the crazy thing: So much of what we spoke about was foundational.

Like, nuts&bolts, square-one, beginner mode.

It was all about getting back to BASICS:

  • It was clearly identifying our ideal client.
  • It was setting up (boring) metrics to track each day for lead optimization.
  • It was dissecting sales scripts.
  • It was distilling an irrefutable transformation.

Like I said, the BASICS.

Last month I was in Austin, Texas to speak as a Mentor for INC Magazine and The UPS Store Small Biz Challenge, where I stressed the importance of the BASICS while speaking on stage to business owners.

Last month I hosted my 7-Figure Mastermind and I explained the importance of systematic and intentional operations, focusing on the BASICS.

And yet—just a couple weeks later—I found myself in a room with my peers scaling massive businesses… grueling over—yes, you know it—the BASICS.

I’m sending this note as a reminder to revisit the building blocks of our businesses. We’ve iterated, grown, and changed as we’ve scaled, so we must ensure that the base of our foundation is set up to handle the height of the skyscraper we’re building.

On this note, I’m EXCITED to say that tomorrow I’m streaming The 7-Figure Summit, a series of impactful, no-fluff, talks about scaling your business, each under 10 minutes.

Every speaker is sharing what actually worked for them, the systems they built, the best hires, the mistakes they learned from, and how they grew with success.

This is a no-pitch event, so come as you are and join this incredible event with amazing conversations… SAVE YOUR SEAT HERE.

To doing the BASICS,

He looked across the table and said to me, “When you change your environment, you change your life.” Bullseye, spot on, bingo.

Last week I hosted my mastermind event in Newport Beach, and the single biggest takeaway I heard was simply getting into the room revolutionized their growth.

While I agree, I’d probably add a few key takeaways from entrepreneurs in my Mastermind whose businesses truly SKYROCKETED in the past seven months…

  • Ask Questions (quickly) – The people who got the most, asked the most. Questions about their offer, their leadership, how to hire the right person at the right time…the list goes on. But they were unafraid to ask, ask, ask.
  • Try New Things (quickly) – Change can be intimidating, but you want to know what gets similar powerful results with less risk? Lots of small, new tests. Change the funnel, try a Challenge, use a DM strategy to close $50k clients…what started as a small test turned into big results. The faster the tests, the more tests were completed, the greater the outcome.
  • Make the Hard Decisions (quickly) – Have you waited too long to hire? Perhaps (even worse) have you waited too long to fire someone you know just isn’t a fit for your business? How quickly can you close a project that just cannot perform and—instead—use that time and energy to expand what IS working? Learning to leverage time to make momentous decisions is a super power. The strongest entrepreneurs in my Mastermind leaned into this in new, exciting ways. Their results blew my mind.

Okay, but lets’s be real: How does this impact YOU?

How can you learn these types of next-level lessons in a group of brilliant entrepreneurs scaling their businesses?

I’m inviting you to a FREE (no-pitch) online, live event, The 7-FIGURE ACCELERATOR Series

This is your chance to join me on Zoom as I walk you through a 3-part series that’ll show you the foundations that scale your 7-figure business.

In this live class, I connected with people—just like you, who are growing, but want to do it stronger, wiser, and faster.

So, this is your personal invite to join me for scaling trainings that will get you in the (virtual) room. Sign up >HERE<.

No pitch, no fluff, just results,

P.S. I don’t know how (or WHY) I agreed to this idea, but in the spirit of trying new things, this might have resulted after a dare to try something new 😉

Last week was my birthday (I share it with my twin sister). Birthdays bring contemplation. But sharing things learned over decades intimidate me because over my lifetime, I realized I DON’T KNOW ANYTHING?!

So instead of being a sage and sharing what I HAVE learned in life, this year I’m sharing what I AM learning.

👣 Don’t stop moving forward. There’ll be days when it feels like you’re stuck in mud, but small, hard, insignificant steps are still making a difference.

💥 Believe in the impossible. It’s not until you’re fully convinced that your [crazy | unreasonable | unbelievable] vision will work, that it actually will.

❤️‍🩹 They won’t always believe (and that’s okay). You must believe it will work because others will try to shake, strike, and rob you of your faith. Your success will silence their doubts.

☝🏽 Focus on one thing. Resist the temptation to move onto the new shiny, distracting idea. Focus leads to priorities, which leads to discipline, which leads to consistency. And empires are built by focusing on one brick at a time.

Maybe one day I’ll drop alllllll the things I’ve learned and can share because I’m an expert, a sage, a scholar of life. Until then, thanks for journeying with me and celebrating another year around the sun.

Oh, before I go, I should share my sister’s reaction to yesterday’s podcast

Yes, it’s THAT good. Heidi Easley explains how she went from bankruptcy to million dollar parties…SO juicy.

To the next year of life being the best,
