The Power of Blank Space: How I Doubled ...

JASMINE STAR
About this episode

What if the best thing you could do for your business this year… was do less?

In this raw, behind-the-scenes episode, I’m sharing how intentionally creating blank space in my calendar—not a break, not a vacation, but a purposeful pause—completely transformed my business growth.

You’ll hear how stepping back led to major clarity, a game-changing mastermind invite with Brendon Burchard, and a bold new approach to my product suite and funnels. I also dive into the power of Deep Work Days, why “busy” isn’t always better, and how to stop overcommitting and start expanding.

This isn’t a framework. It’s real-time documentation of a massive mindset shift.

If you’ve ever felt stuck in hustle mode, this is your permission slip to do things differently in 2025.

Click play to hear all of this and:

[00:01] Why creating blank space—not hustle—is the most powerful thing I’ve done in 2025
[02:45] The distinction between rest, recharge, and true blank space
[04:10] What happened when I blocked off three weekdays and actually honored that time
[05:30] How a random text to Brendon Burchard led to a game-changing mastermind invite
[06:45] The major funnel and product suite shifts we made because of that blank space
[08:15] Why courage (not time) is what you need to create space for your next level
[09:00] What I do during my new “Deep Work Days” and why they matter more than I expected
