In this powerful conversation with Fab Roc, we dive deep into the ways limiting beliefs—our own and those passed down from others—keep us stuck, second-guessing, and playing small. From family narratives and societal expectations to the stories we tell ourselves, these mental blocks shape the way we show up in life and business.

Fab Roc brings her unique insight and energy to unpack why these beliefs stick, how to recognize when you’re operating from someone else’s limitations, and practical ways to break free so you can step into your power unapologetically.

In this episode, multidimensional artist and cultural curator Chukwuemeka “Meka” Ibe sits down with host Jas Kirk to explore the intersection of style, identity, and self-care and most importantly why what you wear says so much more than you think.

Meka opens up about fashion as a mirror for the soul, the courage it takes to express your authentic self, and how style can become an act of self-compassion in a world that often fuels our inner critic. From his journey as an art advisor and creative to his philosophy on dressing with intention, he reminds us that personal style isn’t about trends, but about truth.

This week on the podcast, Jasmine Carter and I unpack how love, faith, and even failure can become the richest soil for your creativity. You might be surprised by what grows from it.

In this episode of Comfortable Conversations, Jas is joined by Jasmine Carter, the founder of Balacia, to unpack a radical truth: what if love, not fear, is the greatest creative fuel? Failure can become the richest soil for your creativity. You might be surprised by what grows from it.

This isn’t just about romantic love or even self-love in the feel-good sense. It’s about the deep, unwavering trust that allows you to create boldly, even through failure and discomfort. Jasmine shares how building Balacia was never about chasing perfection, but about planting seeds of faith and letting love lead — no matter what obstacles appeared.

Together, Jas and Jasmine explore:

💡 The Beauty of Discomfort – Why creative breakthroughs often require leaning into what feels uncomfortable.
💡 Faith as a Foundation – How creating from faith, rather than fear, can transform failure into a stepping stone.
💡 Love as Your Creative Anchor – Why loving what you do — and who you are — is the secret to resilience.
💡 Failing Forward – How to trust that exactly what you need will be planted, even in your most uncertain seasons.
💡 Creating Beyond Control – Releasing the pressure to get it right and letting love shape your process.

Why You’ll Love This Episode:
If you’ve ever felt like failure defined you or wondered how to stay creative when doubt creeps in, this conversation will feel like a breath of fresh air. Jasmine and Jas remind you that love is not weakness — it is the strongest force you can build on. When you create in love, and in faith, you create fearlessly.

In this episode of Comfortable Conversations, Jas unpacks a radical idea in a world that glorifies hustle: what if rest is the key to being your truest self?

This isn’t about taking a nap or squeezing in self-care. It’s about surrender. About learning to trust that being, not doing, is enough. Jas reflects on what it means to release control, embrace stillness, and let your authenticity emerge not through striving, but through softness.

We explore:

💡 The Courage to Pause – Why it feels so hard to rest when our culture idolizes productivity.

💡 Rest as a Bridge to Truth – How stillness reveals who you are beneath the roles, performance, and pressure.

💡 The Performance Trap – Unlearning the need to prove your worth through constant doing.

💡 Permission to Be – What it looks like to bask in your authenticity, unapologetically.

💡 Rest Isn’t a Break—It’s a Return – Coming home to your essence through intentional slowing down.Why You’ll Love T

his Episode:If you've been tired but afraid to stop, this episode is your invitation. It’s a reminder that rest is not weakness, it’s wisdom. And when you trust it, you unlock the most powerful version of you: the one that’s real, rooted, and already enough.

In this episode, we dive into the heart of We Rise to Our Systems, an event powered by Plug & Play and supported by EDC Frisco and Hello Studios. This conversation was not just about entrepreneurship or mental wellness—it was about creating a space where vulnerability meets strength, and where systems are built with intention to support both our personal and professional well-being.

Host Jas Kirk guides you through a deeply impactful conversation, featuring two incredible panelists: Mark Clayton, founder of LIVV Audio, and Michael Ledo, founder of RISE Family Office. Both Mark and Michael share their unique journeys, perspectives on mental resilience, and the importance of aligning our visions with a greater purpose.

Mark speaks powerfully about how true mental resilience isn't just about bouncing back from setbacks, but about staying grounded through life’s challenges. His journey as an athlete and entrepreneur has shown him that embracing vulnerability is key to enduring the hard times and finding strength through them.

Michael, on the other hand, brings to light the importance of having a clear vision and the role awareness plays in shaping that vision. He shares how vulnerability in business—allowing ourselves to be open and aware—can lead to profound transformation and untapped opportunities.

In this episode, Jas and the panelists discuss the courage to begin uncomfortable conversations, the importance of building intentional systems that support our mental health, and how joy can emerge from leaning into discomfort. Entrepreneurship is a journey full of highs and lows, but this conversation is a reminder that growth happens when we embrace vulnerability, show up authentically, and align our actions with our true values.

This is more than just a conversation—it’s a call to rise together, to build with intention, and to foster a community that prioritizes mental wellness as much as success. Whether you’re an entrepreneur, a wellness advocate, or someone simply looking for a bit of inspiration to face your own challenges, this episode will empower you to lean into vulnerability, embrace discomfort, and keep building with authenticity.
