In this deeply moving episode of the LEAN Podcast, host Mahogany sits down with Jasmine Diaz, the founder of Nailed It Academy. Jasmine opens up about a life defined by "the dirty silver spoon"—having the material things she needed but growing up in a home shadowed by domestic violence and drug culture.
The Turning Point: Jasmine shares the harrowing details of fleeing an abusive relationship in Atlanta only to face a traumatic confrontation with her biological father in Texas. She describes the exact moment of hitting rock bottom—sitting on the floor of an Airbnb with no water or internet—where she heard the voice of God tell her, "Get down and do it right now." Five minutes of wailing in obedience led to an immediate breakthrough that changed her life forever.
Inside this episode:
Unlearning the Hustle: Moving from the "fast life" to a life of spiritual rest.
The Ministry of Nails: How Jasmine uses the craft of nail artistry to mentor girls ages 13–21, teaching them entrepreneurship and self-worth.
Removing the Pedestal: Why putting anyone (even a father) above God leads to disappointment.
The Power of Isolation: Why God sometimes "snatches you by the neck" to get you alone so He can speak to your heart.
