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.
