Meet THEE Jasmin Waites Parker! Jas grew up in Georgetown, SC in the Dunbar area. A small town girl, but Jasmin has ALWAYS had BIG dreams. In her earliest elementary years she declared that she would be a lawyer, and at the age of 28 years old, that dream became a reality when she passed the South Carolina state bar in 2022!
In the 20 years of her first declaration at 8, and actually fulfilling her proclamation at 28, Jas experienced GREAT challenges. One of her greatest challenge would be in 2017 when she found out she was pregnant months before graduating from undergrad. Hopelessness and shame would try to overtake her, but what her village wouldn't let her do is give up. You'll hear this story, as well as so much more experiences and encounters throughout this episode.
One lesson we can ALL learn from this episode is "When "life" happens to us, God is NOT through with us." (Even if we're "at fault"). No matter how many times you try to give up on yourself, God has and will never give up on you! Look around and see who you're surrounded by that's pushing you, and KEEP GOING. Jasmin is a Mom on a Mission to Succeed; and is inspiring others to do the same by sharing her story. My prayer is that you take all the gems that she's dropped and add them to your collection as you press through. And may you never ever forget, HE'S NOT THROUGH WITH YOU!

This is NOT That! 🤞🏾 (A Restoration Story 🙏🏾)
In this episode I get VERY personal about my journey of love. Throughout this 10 year time span I can honestly say it’s been a rollercoaster! Through many challenges and not so great choices, I’ve seen changes that have shaped me into a woman I can be proud of. Going from single mommy of one, to being in a relationship and now expecting ; God had truly done a number on me ; and this go round feels sooo different ! (A good different 😩) You’ll hear me talk about the struggle to believe in love, the journey to finding myself as well as finding the courage to receive the love I consistently said I believed I was worthy of! Yes, I battled with being happy; but at some point I finally saw the beauty in letting present evidence be greater than my past experience. 😮💨 (A lesson within itself!) I’m not saying my life or love is perfect, I’m saying this is the greatest it’s ever been; and this is my story! Happy listening! ❤️
"Looks 👗and Lessons 🙏🏾"
Meet Taylor Warren, a mama and mogul from the small town of Greenwood, SC. Taylor is the owner of "The Look" boutique, that offers classy and chic styles to all that seek a full look they can be adored in. Starting her boutique wasn't some life-long dream, but yet a passion that she turned into major profit during the pandemic. Since launching her boutique Taylor has made major strides, but also faced some struggles on this journey as well. As the mother of a beautiful, 11 year old princess, who's not really a baby anymore; we take a trip down memory lane on her motherhood journey. We talk about her battle with Postpartum Depression (PPD), the challenges she's faced, and how she overcame by understanding the importance of being good as a person, before ever being good as a parent. Through her support system, and an emphasis on self-care; Taylor's goal is for all women to feel and look their best as well. She has been able to consistently evolve as a Mother on a Mission to Succeed, and as you listen I hope you're inspired to do the same. I am super excited for you all to hear her story, and urge you to connect and shop with her using the handles below!
