Money conversations can feel loaded… emotional… sometimes even explosive.And for most couples, money only gets talked about when something goes wrong.In this episode, I’m sharing a powerful conversation with Ramit Sethi, author of I Will Teach You to Be Rich, about how the language we use around money shapes our relationships.Instead of asking reactive questions like “Why did you spend that?” or “How are we going to pay this off?,” Ramit challenges couples to focus on the bigger picture: the life they actually want to build together.He introduces the idea of a “Rich Life Review”—a simple monthly conversation where you and your partner look at key numbers, celebrate wins, and talk about your goals.Because the real problem isn’t the $20 purchases couples argue about…It’s that we rarely ask the $30,000 questions that shape our future.If you’ve ever felt awkward or stuck talking about money with your partner, this episode will give you a framework to start healthier, more productive conversations—and design a life you’re truly excited to live.Click play to hear all of this and:[00:00] Why most couples only talk about money when there’s a problem[02:00] How the language we use about money shapes our relationships[03:45] Why Ramit believes most couples argue about the wrong financial issues[05:00] The difference between $3 questions and $30,000 life questions[06:20] What a “Rich Life Review” is (and why it replaces budgeting meetings)[07:30] The simple framework for a monthly money conversation with your partner[09:00] The four key financial numbers every couple should track[10:30] How focusing on big-picture goals transforms money conversations🎧 Listen to the full episode with Ramit Sethi, How to Talk about Money with Your Partner and Build a Rich Life Together with Ramit Sethi , >>HEREListen to Related Episodes:8 Mindset Shifts to Transform Your Relationship with MoneyHow Women Reclaim Power Through Money with Financial Feminist, Tori DunlapThe Power of Clarity: Success, Money, and Mindset Shifts with Marie ForleoConnect With Ramit Sethi:Instragram: https://www.instagram.com/ramit</a

I didn’t set out to be a leader.I set out to chase an idea. Then the business grew. Then I hired a team. And somewhere between “I’ve got this” and “How did we get here?”… I became a leader.Spoiler: I wasn’t very good at it.In this episode, I’m sharing the uncomfortable leadership mistakes I made (including the time I avoided accountability because I was afraid someone would lock me out of my own systems… yes, really).This year, I decided that if I want to build the next level of my business, I have to become the next level version of myself. From hiring a Sales Director and CFO to investing in leadership training, everything shifted.The biggest lesson? Integrity isn’t a buzzword — it’s doing what you say you’ll do, by the date you say you’ll do it.Leadership isn’t about being perfect.

Have you ever looked around a room full of successful entrepreneurs and thought, “I don’t belong here”?That moment hit hard the first time I considered joining a mastermind — and saw the $25,000 price tag.In this episode, I’m sharing the raw truth of investing in my very first mastermind: the doubts, the imposter syndrome, and the terrifying leap that turned into a $255,000 launch just six months later.At the time, I had never invested in peer coaching or business education. I had built my company solo — no courses, no mentors, no community. But I knew something had to change.What happened next challenged everything: my beliefs about money, my mindset around growth, and what’s actually possible when you're the least experienced person in the room.If you've ever questioned whether masterminds are worth it, felt intimidated in high-level rooms, or wondered if you're ready to invest in yourself… this episode is your permission slip.You're not underqualified.

If you’ve ever thought, “I want to leave this job… start the thing… pivot… but I can’t afford to,” this episode is for you.I’m joined by the Financial Feminist herself, Tori Dunlap, founder of Her First $100K. After graduating with degrees in communication and theater, Tori landed in a toxic corporate job she couldn’t afford to leave. That’s when everything shifted.She realized money wasn’t about being rich — it was about having options.So she set a bold goal: save $100,000 by age 25. What started with a $20 domain, three blog posts, and $49 coaching sessions at Starbucks eventually became a movement empowering women to take control of their finances.But here’s the truth: the $100K wasn’t the win.Freedom was.In this episode, we talk about financial autonomy, documenting your journey for accountability, and why building revenue isn’t about validation — it’s about choice.Click play to hear all of this and:[00:00] Why Money Is About Freedom, Not Just Wealth[06:35] How $49 Coaching Sessions Built a Business Foundation[12:10] The Real Cost of Staying in a Toxic Job[18:45] Why Documenting Your Goal Creates Accountability[24:20] From Blog Posts to a Movement: Building Her First $100K[31:05] Scaling Beyond Coaching: Avoiding the “Not Scalable” Trap[38:40] Money as Power: Creating Options for WomenListen to Related Episodes:The 3 Financial Mistakes Ambitious Founders Keep MakingBuild Wealth by Changing the Way You Think About Money with Anthony O’NealWealth Building Strategies: How to Budget, Invest, and Raise Your PricesConnect With Tori Dunlap:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/herfirst100k/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/herfirst100K/Website: https://herfirst100k.com/📧 Join my Newsletter for a weekly cocktail of insider business strategy, personal reflections, and the journey of being a thought leader: https://jasminestar.com/newsletter 📧For full show notes, visit jasminestar.com/podcast/episode623

And I wanted to quit four times in the first week alone.But I didn’t.This episode is about what that journey has taught me—not just about health, but about business, consistency, and what it really takes to stick with something when it gets hard.Because the truth is: everything you want comes with a cost.Are you willing to pay it?I’m sharing a mindset framework that’s helped me stay committed through discomfort, and how it applies whether you're trying to get in shape or build a 7-figure business.Let’s talk about fear, doubt, discipline—and choosing not to quit.Click play to hear all of this and:[00:00] Opening up about a personal transformation for accountability, connection, and growth.[02:30] The fear of failure and the vulnerable question: "Will this actually work for me?"[03:20] Lifelong body image struggles and how they shaped Jasmine’s identity and confidence.[04:57] Realizing the parallels between business and fitness: discomfort, doubt, and discipline.[06:35] The mindset shift: follow the “recipe” before adding your own flavor.[10:12] How to overcome distractions that try to sabotage your growth.[15:14] Why the “messy middle” is where most quit—and how to push through by focusing on your future self.Listen to Related Episodes:How I Maximize My Experiences and Investments to Reach My Next Level as a CEOInside My $50K Investment with Gary Vee’s Team: How I Make Smart Business InvestmentsThe Real ROI of Personal Development📧 Join my Newsletter for a weekly cocktail of insider business strategy, personal reflections, and the journey of being a thought leader: https://jasminestar.com/newsletter 📧For full show notes, visit jasminestar.com/podcast/episode622

If you’ve ever grown so fast you barely recognized yourself… this one is for you.In this conversation with Leila Hormozi, we go behind the curtain of rapid business growth — beyond revenue, beyond strategy — and into identity.We talk about criticism, visibility, filtering yourself to avoid judgment, and what really happens when your business grows faster than your comfort zone.From the outside, explosive growth can look like a highlight reel. From the inside? It can feel unfamiliar, uncomfortable, and even painful.Leila shares why “the more you want to grow, the more you’re going to be in pain” — not because growth is bad, but because it demands an identity shift.If you’re a 7-figure founder scaling higher… Hiring leaders for the first time… Outgrowing your old systems… Or white-knuckling your next level…You’re not broken.

In this episode, I share one of the most transformative moments of my life: watching my mom relearn how to walk after aggressive cancer treatments. It was humbling, heartbreaking, and taught me a core truth—if you don’t believe in yourself, nothing else matters.Even with the support of loved ones, if you lack belief in your vision, your goals, or your ability to make it happen… your dreams will stall.So what does belief really look like in business? It’s not about pretending everything’s fine or reciting affirmations in the mirror. It’s about choosing to lead with intention, not insecurity. It’s about seeing your future self clearly and making daily decisions that align with her.This isn’t just mindset fluff—it’s a roadmap for making belief your business strategy.Whether you’re feeling stuck, afraid, or like your “baby steps” aren’t working fast enough… this episode will remind you that every small, imperfect action counts.

Can we get real for a second?So many entrepreneurs are waiting to feel "ready." Waiting for the right gear, the right timing, the right confidence. But here's the thing… you’ll never have enough.In this short but mighty episode, I’m sharing a powerful snippet from a past conversation with my friend Ken Coleman—also known as America’s Career Coach—and whew, it’s a gut check.We talk about:The myth that you need more experience, tools, or permission to start.Why being uncomfortable is part of the assignment if you’re growing.The real truth about imposter syndrome (spoiler: it never goes away).And my personal “3 M’s” that I lean on when the fear tries to creep in.This is a message for anyone who’s sitting on a dream because they’re afraid of being judged, failing publicly, or starting messy.Let me remind you: people will always have an opinion—whether you sit on the couch or start that business, whether you win or fail. So if you’re going to be judged anyway, you might as well be judged while chasing your purpose.Let’s normalize failing forward. Let’s normalize standing up after getting knocked down—again and again. Because the people you see “winning” didn’t avoid failure… they just kept getting up.The next time fear whispers, “Who are you to do this?” I want you to flip it and ask, “Who am I not to?”This episode is a short pep talk, a rally cry, and a reminder that your purpose doesn’t need permission.Let’s stop waiting. Let’s start doing.Click play to hear all of this and:[00:36] Why we believe we need more than we actually do to start[01:19] “You’ll never feel like enough”—what we must accept to grow[01:52] People will always have opinions—do it anyway[02:56] The truth about getting knocked down (and getting up again)[03:43] The 3 M’s that helped me move past imposter syndrome[04:24] Why your message, your medium, and you still matter🎧 Listen to the full episode with Ken Coleman, How Fear is Getting in the Way of Your Success, >>HEREConnect With Ken Coleman:Ken Coleman is America’s Career Coach and the #1 national bestselling author of From Paycheck to Purpose and The Proximity Principle.
