hi, i'm @yourfriend.jasmine

mental health advocate | money mindset mentor

I am a 2nd generation Puerto Rican/Mexican who grew up in a single parent home. The challenges I faced as a kid deeply impacted my relationship with self, money and others. In my mid 20's I made some major money mistakes, and as a result I faced bankruptcy. I believe this deep loss was an invitation by God to redefine what success meant to me. I began a financial literacy journey, however I found myself still struggling. I felt there was a disconnect between what I was learning, and my self limiting beliefs. In May 2017, I started therapy, got a financial coach, and gathered a group of friends to set money goals. Since then I’ve been on an intentional journey to heal so that I can live a whole and healed life.

 My own mental health journey has been a holistic process of learning to cope with the realities of my story, while finding ways to heal outside of just talk therapy. I’ve come to find healing through storytelling, creativity, and community. I long for Mentally Mutual to be a space that promotes community based healing where we can collectively heal and thrive.
