In this heartfelt episode of Healing in Progress, I’m joined by my good friend, sister-in-healing, and spiritual powerhouse Dawn Douglas—also known as Divinity Goddess. Dawn is a retired Air Force veteran, Reiki Master, herbalist, life insurance educator, and one of the realest people I know.

We talk about what it means to really give yourself permission to pivot—whether that’s changing careers, starting therapy, going back to school in your 40s, or simply choosing peace over pressure. Dawn shares how her journey from military service to spiritual entrepreneurship wasn’t linear, but full of lessons, healing, and divine timing.

Together we unpack:

• What healing actually looks like (hint: it’s messy, honest, and never instant)
• The importance of therapy—especially with someone who sees you
• How herbalism and Reiki opened doors to deep, holistic healing
• Why life insurance is a form of generational love and protection
• Letting go of who you were so you can become who you're meant to be

If you’ve ever felt like it’s “too late” to start over, this episode is your reminder that your healing doesn’t have an expiration date—and your pivot might just be your purpose calling.

Take what resonates, leave the rest, and remember:

Healing starts when you stop pretending you don’t need it.

In this deeply layered and liberating episode, Jazmine sits down with the incredible Rev. Deborah L. Johnson—affectionately known as Rev. D—for a powerful conversation about healing through church hurt, reclaiming your spiritual identity, and giving yourself radical permission to be fully, unapologetically you.

Rev. D shares her journey from being raised in the Pentecostal Church of God in Christ, to founding her own inclusive spiritual community, and becoming a trailblazer for justice, love, and truth. Together, they unpack what it means to separate spirituality from religion, why love is the root of it all, and how we can decolonize our minds from limiting beliefs around faith, identity, and worth.

This episode is a call to stop waiting for external validation and start leading with the divine authority within. From scripture to spoken word, you’ll hear stories, insights, and truths that shake the soul and soothe the spirit.

Topics We Cover:

• Healing from church hurt without losing your faith
• Reclaiming Christianity from fundamentalism
• Internalized oppression and spiritual decolonization
• Why God wastes nothing—and uses everything
• Making peace with your past and your power
• The difference between spirituality and religion
• Creating space for all of who you are

This one is for anyone who's ever felt too much, too different, or not enough in spiritual spaces. You belong. You are not alone. And your healing is holy.

What does it mean to be loved while you’re still figuring yourself out?

In this deeply personal episode of Healing in Progress, I’m joined by my fiancé, Sharique Brown—my partner of 9 years, my co-creator in life and business, and the person who first introduced me to crystals and spiritual wellness. Together, we open up about our journey of navigating love, healing, and growth—both as individuals and as a couple.

We talk about what it’s been like working side by side at Queendom Cultivation, supporting each other through burnout, and learning how to love more intentionally through every version of ourselves. From the quiet ways love shows up—like making sure the other one eats—to the moments that tested us, this conversation is real, raw, and rooted in care.

This episode is a reminder that healing doesn’t have to happen in isolation. Sometimes, love is the mirror that helps us see ourselves more clearly.

Whether you're in a relationship or on your solo journey, may this conversation help you believe in love that holds space for your becoming.
