    I Stopped Taking the Blame for Her Pain (In Honor of Domestic Violence Awareness Month)

    Send us a text (In Honor of Domestic Violence Awareness Month) What happens when love turns into blame? When “I love you” starts sounding more like “you made me do this”? In this honest and vulnerable entry, Jasmine opens up about how emotional abuse and gaslighting can quietly unfold in queer relationships — and how easy it is to start carrying someone else’s pain as your own. She shares what it looked like to lose herself trying to save someone who didn’t want healing, the role therapy played in helping her see the truth, and what it really means to stop apologizing for someone else’s behavior. This episode isn’t just about surviving emotional abuse — it’s about reclaiming your voice, your power, and your peace. 🧘🏾‍♀️ Guided Meditation: “Forgiving Myself for What I Didn’t Know” A grounded and empowering meditation designed to help you release blame, reclaim your peace, and return to your own energy.  Through rhythmic affirmations like “I forgive myself for what I didn’t know” and “I am my own healing,” Jasmine guides you to soften your heart, silence shame, and remember that forgiveness is freedom. 📜 Lessons & Reflections: Silence is not peace — it’s survival disguised as stillness.Therapy can’t fix what someone refuses to face.Apologies lose meaning when they become payment for peace.Boundaries are acts of self-love, not punishment.Healing begins when you stop internalizing someone else’s pain and start honoring your own.💫 Call to Action If this episode spoke to your spirit, please:  🌿 Follow, comment, like, and share Healing Like a Motha with someone who needs to hear it. 📖 Grab your copy of the Healing Like a Motha Journal to keep writing, reflecting, and rebuilding your peace — one page at a time.

No fluff. No fixing. Just presence. Just love. 📜 Lessons Learned After crashing post-comeback — despite therapy, growth, and all the “right steps” — Jasmine shares what healing actually looks like behind the scenes: Your body knows when it’s time to pause.  Your breakdown doesn’t cancel your breakthrough.  Your softness is still sacred.  And joy can be as small as a sticker… and still holy. This isn’t about bouncing back.  It’s about being honest about the fall—  and choosing yourself in the dark anyway. These aren’t just lessons.  They’re reminders for anyone navigating the shadows while still holding a vision for their light. 💌 Call to Action If this episode spoke to your spirit, don’t keep it to yourself.  🎧 Share it with a friend who’s in a crash season.  💬 Tag @guidedbyjasmine and tell me what part landed in your heart. ⭐ And if you feel called, leave a review — your words help this healing reach more ears and more hearts. 🎧 Subscribe & Stay Connected Subscribe to The Chronicles of a Black Lesbian Mom: Healing Like a Motha for more raw reflections, sacred storytelling, and diary-style healing from Jasmine’s personal journey.

She shares how her queerness shaped her motherhood, how religion tried to silence her calling, and how she fought — and continues to fight — to reclaim every part of herself. This episode is a love letter to anyone who's ever been told they couldn’t be both. Jasmine is here to say: you already are. ✨ Guided Meditation (Starts around [insert timestamp]): A 4-minute practice to help listeners release shame, reclaim their wholeness, and affirm the sacredness of being “both.” “I am enough.
