Welcome to Just Being with JasB:
Embracing Contradictions, Fostering Healing, and Sharing Stories
My name is JasB, and I’m new to sharing my life story. Nonetheless, the experience is exciting. I’m a 30-year-old wife to a handsome trans male and a mom of two amazing little humans. I consider myself spiritually fluid – a queer Queen of color, also functioning as a warrior and healer for women and children. I embody contradictions; I’m both social and anti-social, outgoing and shy, quiet and loud – a walking oxymoron.
With all my eccentricity, I aim to create a safe space for people from all walks of life to share their experiences through storytelling. From parenting and childbirth to childhood and adulting, your story holds significance, and I genuinely want to hear it. My objective is to foster a community where learning from one another is paramount. Before we embark on this journey, allow me to introduce myself.
My story began in December 1992 in the southern part of California. I’m a West Coast girl who grew up in the South, specifically Georgia. This part of my story is essential; I often jest with my family that they abducted me from California, awaiting my return someday.
Being the third of three children, I consider myself the closest thing to perfection – in my opinion. With a 12-year gap, I’m practically an only child, often feeling like I had two sets of parents rather than older siblings.
My childhood, like anyone else’s, had its highs and lows. I transitioned from a private Christian kindergarten to a public elementary school, encompassing a diverse educational experience. Most of my adolescent years were spent at an all-girls school, from sixth to twelfth grade. Shout out to AGS and the class of 2011. Following high school, I pursued my BSN at Hampton University. Despite graduating in 2015, it took a couple of years before I commenced my journey as a Registered Nurse.
I possess a free-spirited, random, and goofy demeanor. While I consider myself funny, my spouse might disagree. My philosophy revolves around exploring and relishing life. My life’s purpose is to spread love, light, and laughter – #loveovereverything (#3Ls, #lovelightlaughter, #lovelightlaughter4eva). Amidst my journey, I strive to facilitate honest and helpful heart healing. Let’s face it, all of us harbor wounds that deserve healing.
The onset of the pandemic prompted me to enroll in Seminary school. During my time there, I learned that one of the most effective ways to grow is by sharing one’s story. This realization led me to create a safe space for storytelling. Through this platform, I will share my life experiences while engaging with and learning from others. I will candidly discuss my past, present, and future, exploring lessons learned and seeking more from each of you.
This space is for those seeking honest and helpful heart healing. It’s also for those who want to engage in life’s journey through love, light, and laughter. Many of us possess untold stories with no one to listen. Through nonjudgmental listening, I wish to hear your story while sharing mine.
I’m a bundle of nerves and excitement. I’m self-critical yet sensitive to others. Nevertheless, I relish communication and learning with others. This platform will feature amusing blogs, workout videos, podcasts, articles, and much more. I’m eager to find wonderful ways for us to interact in this digital haven. Who knows, someday we might meet face-to-face. Until then, I extend my heart to you, wishing you a healing and enriching journey for you and your loved ones.
