Meet Jasmine Rice | Transformation and Empowerment Coach/ NLP Practitioner/Author

We had the good fortune of connecting with Jasmine Rice and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Jasmine, have you ever found yourself in a spot where you had to decide whether to give up or keep going? How did you make the choice?
Determining whether to keep going or to give up is a nuanced decision. There are times when perseverance is essential, and there are moments when “giving up” or letting go is the right choice. Hear me out.

Life is about pushing yourself, navigating through challenges, and emerging stronger. I’ve faced my fair share of messy situations that have truly tested me. The key is to process the situation, acknowledge your emotions, and then rise to keep moving forward because growth often lies just beyond our greatest struggles.

However, giving up or quitting also has its place—not in giving up on life, but in specific aspects of it. For instance, letting go of a toxic friendship, relationship, or situation can be incredibly liberating. Holding on to something that harms you only holds you back. Recognizing when to release what’s weighing you down is just as important as knowing when to persevere.

Alright, so let’s move onto what keeps you busy professionally?
I do not believe in a one-size-fits-all approach to anything in life. We are all individuals, each requiring different ingredients for our unique paths at various times in life. This philosophy sets my coaching apart. I provide a variety of options and tailor my techniques to fit the needs of each client, ensuring a personalized and adaptable approach.

My journey to where I am today has been shaped by navigating the obstacles life threw at me. With nearly 20 years in the non-profit sector, I once thought I would retire from it. However, life had other plans. By listening to my gut and embracing change, I found my true calling as a transformational life coach.

What I want the world to know is this: to make any meaningful change, you must be willing to do the work. You can read countless self-help and personal growth books, attend therapy, work with coaches, and take courses, but unless you are committed to putting in the effort to better yourself, you won’t see true transformation. Guidance can provide direction, but ultimately, you are responsible for your own change, growth and happiness.

I am most proud of the resilience and adaptability I’ve developed along my journey. These qualities have allowed me to help others find their unique paths and make lasting changes in their lives. My story is one of continuous learning, perseverance, and a commitment to helping others create lives they love.

Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?
Colorado has so much to offer. Start the week with some urban exploration in Denver, enjoying a farm-to-table dinner at Root Down and cocktails at Union Lodge No. 1. A hearty breakfast at Snooze will fuel a day exploring the Denver Art Museum and the vibrant Larimer Square. If there’s a concert, a night at Red Rocks Amphitheatre is a must for an iconic music experience.

Next, head to Boulder for a hike in the stunning Flatirons and brunch at The Buff Restaurant. Pearl Street Mall offers vibrant street performances and local shops. For a culinary treat, dine at Frasca Food and Wine. The adventure continues with a challenging hike up the Manitou Incline in Manitou Springs, followed by a healthy meal at Adam’s Mountain Cafe and a relaxing evening in Colorado Springs at The Rabbit Hole.

In Colorado Springs, a visit to the Garden of the Gods will take your breath away. Explore the unique shops in Old Colorado City and enjoy dinner at Four by Brother Luck. Fort Collins offers a delightful day of brewery tours, including New Belgium Brewing and Odell Brewing Company, and a relaxed meal at The Kitchen. Wrap up the week with a leisurely brunch at Lucile’s Creole Cafe in Denver, a peaceful visit to the Denver Botanic Gardens, and dinner at El Five with its stunning city views. This itinerary combines the best of Colorado’s outdoor adventures, vibrant local culture, and delicious cuisine, ensuring an unforgettable experience.

The Shoutout series is all about recognizing that our success and where we are in life is at least somewhat thanks to the efforts, support, mentorship, love and encouragement of others. So is there someone that you want to dedicate your shoutout to?
I am incredibly grateful for the support, love, and encouragement I’ve received throughout my journey. I want to dedicate my shoutout to a few key groups who have played a significant role in my success.

First and foremost, my followers. Your unwavering support and engagement inspire me every day to keep pushing forward and sharing my journey. You are the reason I do what I do, and I am deeply thankful for each of you.

To my friends who have stood by me through thick and thin, your encouragement and belief in me have been invaluable. You’ve celebrated my victories and lifted me up during challenging times. Your support has been a cornerstone of my success.

I also want to extend my gratitude to my incredible clients. Your trust in my coaching and your commitment to personal growth are truly inspiring. You motivate me to continue refining my approach and offering the best possible guidance.
