About Disorganized Thoughts of a New Traditional Mom
Welcome to Disorganized Thoughts of a New Traditional Mom, a space for real talk about faith, parenting, and what it means to build a nontraditional family in today’s world.
I’m Jasmine, a single mom, Barbie collector, music lover, and Jesus follower figuring out this thing called life (with coffee and grace).
I started this podcast because I realized parenting doesn’t come with a handbook, especially when your story doesn’t fit the mold. Some days I’m thriving, other days I’m drinking three hour old, cold coffee because I couldn’t make it to the microwave. But every day God grants me grace
It's a new season of Disorganized Thoughts of a New Traditional Mom and I've invited my cousins to the show!
Join us as we share personal insights and lessons learned from the women who shaped us. We discuss how motherhood influences faith, identity, and personal growth through heartfelt stories and reflections.

Mommy & Me Talk - Summer Movies
Lily is joining me for this one! We sat down to talk about some of the movies we watched this summer, the moments and messages we could relate to, and the little life lessons we found along the way.
Our conversation eventually turned into something even sweeter: what New Traditional Mom means to me and what NTM looks like through Lily’s eyes.
And because no conversation with my child stays completely on topic, we also had to take a brief but apparently necessary detour to set the record straight about her favorite food. 😂
It’s movies, motherhood, faith, family, a little reflection, and the kind of wonderfully disorganized conversation that feels right at home here.
A big God. A little sparkle. A whole lot of purpose.

Every family deserves support.
And every community has a role to play.

When the Magic Feels Different: Our First Disney Cruise
One square on my New Opportunities Bingo card this year said "Take a Trip".
So our crew of three, my mom, my daughter, and me, set sail on our very first Disney cruise.
Like most of our adventures together, the trip was full of laughter, characters, good food, and moments that reminded me how special it is to travel as a family. Standing on the balcony and looking out over the ocean slowed everything down in the best way.
But like most real experiences, it also wasn’t perfect.
In this episode I share highlights from our first cruise, a few moments that made me pause, and the reminder that grace matters more than perfection.
Learning how to hold joy and imperfection in the same space.
Because sometimes the magic isn’t about flawless experiences.
Sometimes the magic is simply the people you share them with.

This is 41
Turning 41 didn’t make me louder. It made me clearer.
In this reflective birthday episode, I’m sharing four lessons that shaped me through my 20s, 30s, and into my 40s. This isn’t a highlight reel. It’s growth in real time.
We talk about:
Why peace is not passive… it’s strategy
The shift from chasing spotlight to embracing stewardship
Healing my relationship with my body, including my journey with PCOS
Why friendships don’t have to be loud to be loyal
I open up about fear disguising itself as humility, learning alignment over applause, navigating career shifts, and understanding that sometimes rejection is actually preparation.
This episode is for the woman who is growing quieter but stronger.
If you’re in a shift season too, this conversation is for you.
