Healing In Progress

About Healing In Progress

Healing in Progress is a space for the strong ones — the ones who know how to hold it together for everybody else, but are tired of holding it all alone. I’m Jazmine Danielle, and I created this space because I know what it feels like to be praised for being resilient while quietly falling apart. Healing in Progress isn’t about perfection — it’s about showing up, even when it’s messy, even when it’s hard. Each week, we’re having real conversations — about grief, growth, love, identity shifts, and the parts of healing nobody really talks about. I’m sharing my own journey in real-time, and bringing in voices who remind us: you don’t have to be perfect to deserve peace. You just have to be willing to stop pretending you’re fine. Healing starts when you finally stop pretending you don’t need it. And you don’t have to do it alone anymore.

   Healing Through Intentional Endings - Season 1 Finale

   This final episode of Season One is a love letter to the journey. I started this podcast thinking I was simply documenting my healing in real time, but what unfolded was deeper than I expected. Through every conversation, every moment of reflection, I’ve been peeling back layers, letting go of old versions of myself, and learning how to soften without losing my strength. In this episode, I’m sharing what this season taught me about burnout, survival mode, and the pressure to keep pushing. I talk about how I’ve spent years choosing hard paths just to prove I could handle them, and how I’m now choosing ease on purpose. I share what it means to take off the cape, stop performing strength, and finally make space for joy, rest, creativity, and alignment. This isn’t the end of Healing in Progress. It’s an intentional pause. A moment to integrate, reflect, and move forward without rushing. I invite you to reflect on your own journey. What are you ready to release? What kind of life are you ready to receive? Because healing doesn’t stop here. It just finds new ways to unfold. Thank you for growing with me. Thank you for listening. I’ll see you next season.

   Healing Through Food, Family, and Partnership with The Edible Bunch

   This week’s episode is a little different—in the best way. It’s a couples conversation with me, Sharique, and our good friends Valencia and Myles from The Edible Bunch. We’ve been trying to sit down with them for a while, and life finally made space. We talk about what it really looks like to heal while you're building—your business, your relationship, your family, and yourself. From late-night recipe testing to balancing burnout, this episode is full of laughter, love, and lessons from the kitchen and beyond. Valencia shares how she channels creativity through food, Myles opens up about unlearning what rest looks like for Black men, and together we explore the beauty and messiness of partnership when you’re both driven, tired, and still showing up for each other. Whether you’re navigating love, business, parenting, or all of the above—this one’s for you. Tap in, laugh with us, and remember: healing starts when you stop pretending you don’t need it.

Together, they explore what it means to create alternatives to harmful systems, the emotional toll of leading with heart, and how healing and justice must go hand in hand. Desiree shares her evolving relationship with boundaries, rest, and what it looks like to show up for herself while holding space for others. She also reflects on the deep personal losses that have shaped her work and her unwavering hope for a better world led by the next generation.

   Healing Through Community Care with Community Midwife Jollina Walker

   In this episode of Healing in Progress, Jazmine is joined by midwife, lactation consultant, and fierce advocate for birth justice, Jollina Walker. This is not just a conversation about babies—it’s about healing. Healing our relationship to our bodies, to care, to community, and to ourselves. Jollina shares her journey as a birth worker and educator, and how she’s helping others reclaim their power by centering cultural wisdom and informed choice. Together they talk about the trauma that lives in medical systems, the emotional and spiritual toll of caregiving, and the ways Black and Brown birthing people are rising to shift the narrative. This episode is an offering for anyone who’s ever poured from an empty cup. For those who care deeply and need space to rest. For those walking with purpose but learning how to set boundaries with grace. Healing begins with remembering we are not meant to do this alone. You are worthy of care too. Let this episode remind you.

   Healing Through Our Hair with Angelina Lanae of Bllack Hair Shop

   In this powerful and deeply personal episode of Healing in Progress, Jazmine sits down with her hairstylist and soul sister, Angelina Lanae—founder of Black Hair Shop and co-owner of Ombodhi Village—to explore the sacred connection between Black hair and healing. What begins as a conversation about styles and self-expression quickly unravels into a tender and affirming dialogue on identity, trauma, transformation, and spiritual growth.

Whether you’re rocking a silk press, in your “ugly stage” of locs, or somewhere in between—this one will remind you that your hair is not just a look, it’s a language. Take a breath. Take a seat.

   Healing Through Reflection

   In this solo episode, I’m taking a moment to reflect on what this podcast journey has revealed so far. Not just about healing, but about myself. I revisit the first six episodes and share what I’ve learned from each conversation, including the ways I’ve softened, slowed down, and reconnected with my truth. I talk about releasing hustle culture, redefining ambition, and allowing myself to be fully seen without performance. This season has been full of growth, grief, love, and powerful shifts. If you’ve been on the journey with me, this is a moment to pause and reflect. If you’re just tuning in, welcome. Healing is happening here, and this episode is a beautiful reminder that transformation starts with telling the truth about where we are and where we want to be.

   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.

From scripture to spoken word, you’ll hear stories, insights, and truths that shake the soul and soothe the spirit.

   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.

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.

    Healing Through Grief and Loss with Death Doula Nina Bailey

    In this episode of Healing in Progress, I’m joined by Nina Bailey (she/her)—a holistic death doula and space holder whose work centers compassion, care, and honoring life transitions. While Nina often works with those navigating end-of-life journeys, today’s conversation opens the door to the many ways grief can show up—and how we can give ourselves permission to heal on our own terms. We talk about what it means to hold grace for ourselves in the healing process, especially when the loss we’re grieving doesn’t come from death. From the grief of losing parts of ourselves, our identities, or relationships, to navigating change and uncertainty—we explore how to create space to feel, process, and begin again. I also open up about my own grief journey after losing my father and what it’s looked like to keep going, even when the pain doesn’t go away. This episode is a reminder that healing takes time, and you are not behind for needing yours. 🖤 In this episode, we explore: What grief beyond death can look and feel like How to give yourself grace in the midst of big transitions Ways to begin healing when you're not even sure where to start Why our timelines don’t need to match anyone else's My personal experience grieving my father while continuing to hold space for others 🕊 Connect with Nina Bailey: Instagram: Melanatedmourning (https://www.instagram.com/melanatedmourning/) Website: https://linktr.ee/melanatedmourning (https://linktr.ee/melanatedmourning) ✨ Resources & Support: Book a Reiki session at healinginprogress.co (https://www.healinginprogress.co/services) Let this episode be your permission slip to slow down and feel. 💬 If this episode spoke to something you’ve been carrying, I’d love to hear from you.

    Healing Through Discomfort

    Whew… this one stretched me. In this first episode of Healing in Progress, I’m talking about what it feels like to show up when you’d rather wait until you have it all figured out. About using your voice when it still feels shaky. About letting yourself be seen — even in the mess. But I’m also sharing what this season has been teaching me: The discomfort of entrepreneurship. The weight of hard decisions. The quiet grief of letting go of what’s no longer aligned. The beauty and the chaos of finally choosing myself. This episode is me processing out loud — no script, no guests, just me and my thoughts. And if you’re in a season where nothing feels easy, but you know you’re being called to do it anyway… I hope this reminds you that you’re not alone. Healing doesn’t always look graceful. Sometimes it’s awkward. Sometimes it’s scary. But we’re doing it anyway.

    Healing Through Human Design

    In this episode, I’m joined by the brilliant Ilona Pamplona — (https://www.instagram.com/ilonapamplona/) author, speaker, strategist, and intuitive Human Design guide — for a conversation that’s part breakdown, part breakthrough. We’re diving into how Human Design can be used as a healing tool — not just to understand how your energy works, but to reclaim your voice, your wholeness, and your sense of belonging. Ilona walks us through the core healing invitations of each Human Design aura type and how living in alignment can shift the way we move through burnout, decision-making, relationships, and rest. We also explore a deeper layer of the chart — the six lines in your planetary activations — and how they shape your natural gifts, your collaboration style, your relationship to abundance, and more. (Yes, we get into my chart too!) Whether you're brand new to Human Design or already deep in your journey, this episode is a beautiful place to begin again — with intention, softness, and grace. ✨ And if this conversation lights something up in you… Join us later this month for Designed to Heal (https://www.healinginprogress.co/workshops/p/designed-to-heal-human-design-and-aromatherapy-workshop)— a Human Design & Aromatherapy workshop where Ilona and I will help you understand your energetic blueprint and create your own personalized oil blend to support your healing.
