Overcoming Doubt, Building a Brand, and Owning Your Power with Ed Mylett Jun 17, 2025

Show notes

If you’ve ever felt stuck, overwhelmed, or like you’re constantly hitting roadblocks… this episode is for you.

I sat down with my friend Ed Mylett on his podcast, and we went deep—so deep that I knew I had to share this conversation with you.

We talk about:

✅ The sneaky ways a victim mindset keeps you stuck (without you even realizing it!)

✅ How to shift your beliefs so you can change your reality

✅ The truth about personal branding and social media success

✅ The #1 thing that makes or breaks your business growth

And here’s the thing: at one point in my life, I was unknowingly holding myself back. I thought I was doing everything right, but my mindset was actually keeping me from the life I wanted.

When I realized I was operating from a place of powerlessness, everything changed.

So if you’ve ever felt like things aren’t working—no matter how hard you try—this episode is your permission slip to rewrite the narrative and take back control.

Listen in, take notes, and get ready for a major breakthrough.

5 Chat GPT Hacks Our Team Uses to Save Hours Every Week Jun 12, 2025

Show notes

Ever stared at a beautifully designed landing page template and thought, “Ugh… how do I make my copy fit into THAT?”

Girl, same.

But lucky for us, I’ve got a not-so-secret weapon: Katie Haahr.

In this shortie episode of The Jasmine Star Show, Katie—my brilliant right-hand and co-content creator at Social Curator—walks us through how we use AI (yep, ChatGPT!) to match our landing page design perfectly with the right words.

It’s not complicated. It’s not techy. It’s actually wildly simple and wildly effective.

Katie shares how she takes screenshots of our design templates, drags them into ChatGPT, adds our raw Google Doc copy, and prompts it to make the two work seamlessly together. Headers, bullet points, tone, structure—it all gets aligned in minutes instead of hours.

Here’s the deal: You don’t need to be an expert copywriter. You don’t need to stress over sentence length or character count anymore. You just need a screenshot, a prompt, and this 10-minute podcast.

So whether you're creating a new sales page, building a funnel, or trying to sound more polished (without hiring an agency), this one’s for you.

✨ In this episode, you’ll learn:

How to pair design with copy using ChatGPT
The prompts Katie uses to “train” AI like a creative assistant
Why this saves HOURS on our marketing workflow
How we treat AI like a collaborator, not a replacement

Spoiler alert: AI isn’t going to replace your creativity. It’s going to amplify it.

Let’s write smarter, not harder.

💻 Ready to make your landing pages convert like crazy? Let’s go.

[01:33] How Katie uses AI to optimize copy for landing page templates.

[02:41] The exact ChatGPT prompt she uses (with screenshots!).

[03:27] What they used to do—and how this new method saves hours.

[04:08] How to treat ChatGPT like a fast, friendly co-writing assistant.

Show notes

Today’s episode is extra special, friends — I'm sitting down with my husband, best friend, co-founder, and favorite human, JD Delatorre.

After only 20 years together (and nearly that long building businesses side-by-side!), I finally convinced JD to sit behind the mic and share his perspective on what it really looks like to be married to your business partner…and still like each other. 😂

We’re talking about:

How I roped JD into recording this episode (spoiler: a "finger shake" contract was involved!) What it's like to mix marriage and entrepreneurship for two decades The unglamorous but honest dynamics of decision-making, communication, and occasional eye-rolling How our relationship and business roles have evolved, especially after becoming parents The three words JD uses to describe me as a business partner AND a wife (grab tissues — this one got me right in the feels 🥹) This conversation is totally unscripted, a little messy, full of laughter, and packed with real talk about what it takes to not just build a thriving business — but a thriving marriage too.

If you’ve ever wondered how we navigate it all — from finger shakes to 10x dreams — this one’s for you.

Because here’s the truth: Building a business with someone you love is hard. Loving them through it all is even harder. But it’s also the most beautiful journey you can imagine.

Break Free from the Fear of Failing with James Wedmore May 22, 2025

Show notes

There was a time I believed failure wasn’t just something I did—it was who I was.

But that belief got flipped on its head the day I had a transformational conversation with entrepreneur and coach James Wedmore.

In this episode, I’m sharing a powerful clip where James breaks down the real reason so many of us get stuck: we're building businesses with belief systems we picked up as students and employees—ones that no longer serve us.

We unpack:

Why failure is just feedback (not a flaw)
How to release identities that keep you small
What being “coachable” really means (this moment changed me)
How to rewire beliefs that are holding you back

If you’ve ever feared failure or felt defined by your mistakes, lean in. You’re about to see your story—and your future—differently.

Failure isn’t something to fear. It’s something to celebrate. 💥

Click >>PLAY<< to hear all of this and:

[00:51] Why I defined myself by failure—and how James shifted that narrative

[01:21] James explains how our “model of the world” keeps us stuck

[03:12] The surprising trait James says changed my life (and no one had ever told me before)

[04:25] How our experiences as employees and consumers shape limiting beliefs in business

[05:32] James’ analogy: Why applying football rules to basketball explains why most people struggle in business

[07:49] Why failure must be deconstructed—and fast—for entrepreneurs to succeed
