For much of her life, Jasmine Vializ searched for a label that felt like home—one that would define her in a way the world could understand. But no matter how hard she tried, she was often left feeling “not enough”—not Black enough, Puerto Rican enough, skinny enough, or feminine enough. Adapting like a chameleon to fit into the expectations of others, Jasmine lost sight of her authentic self.
In this episode of Mindfully Amplified, Jasmine explores the limitations of labels and introduces a fresh perspective: the idea of embracing our full, complex selves—the “soup” that makes us uniquely whole. Drawing from Aristotle’s timeless wisdom that "the whole is greater than the sum of its parts," Jasmine unpacks why we cling to labels and how they can confine us, while sharing practical steps for letting go and living fully.
Join Jasmine as she redefines what it means to live authentically, not as fragments of who we are, but as the rich, multifaceted individuals we are meant to be.
