It’s The Human Experience: Overcoming Self-Doubt, Embracing Self-Worth & Emotional Intelligence, Strengthening Self-Awareness, Building Confidence and Purpose

Send us Fan MailWhat do you do when you’ve done the work… but the results haven’t caught up yet?When you’ve grown, healed, and positioned yourself for the next level — yet life still feels like it’s holding you in the middle?That space has a name: the Stretch Season.It’s the uncomfortable chapter between preparation and manifestation — where patience gets tested, faith gets stretched, and the version of you who asked for “more” is quietly being built.In this honest solo episode, Hazel Brown, host of It’s the Human Experience, pulls back the curtain on what it really feels like to live in the in-between. Not the highlight reel. Not the breakthrough moment everyone celebrates. But the quiet season where growth is happening behind the scenes.Because the truth is: many high-achievers are building something meaningful while privately wondering if they’re doing enough, moving fast enough, or if the promise will actually arrive.This conversation is for the ones doing the work without applause — the ones becoming before the world recognizes it.In This Episode, You’ll Discover:• What the “Stretch Season” really is and why it shows up before your biggest expansion • How to recognize when you’re between the promise and the payoff — and why that space matters • The trap of settling for crumbs when your calling requires the whole table • Why quiet building and observation often matter more than visibility in seasons of growth • How proximity to people further ahead can prepare you for what’s next • Why impatience can sabotage the very thing you prayed for • The mindset shift that allows you to remain a student while stepping into leadershipHazel shares personal reflections on entrepreneurship, faith, identity shifts, and the emotional tension that comes with evolving into your next level. The stretch season is rarely comfortable — but it’s often where the strongest foundations are built.If you’ve been feeling stuck, overlooked, or unsure why the next door hasn’t opened yet, this episode will remind you of something powerful:Preparation often happens long before recognition.And sometimes the stretch isn’t punishment — it’s positioning.Stay Connected With the CommunityFollow Hazel on Instagram: @itshumanaf Subscribe on YouTube: Redefining the Future YouLearn more about upcoming Human AF experiences and live events, including the next transformative gathering designed for professionals seeking deeper alignment, clarity, and sustainable success.If this episode resonates, share it with someone navigating their own stretch season.

Send us Fan MailFrom healing people-pleasing tendencies to building a faith-centered business empire, Jasmine Hawks takes us on her remarkable journey of transformation and growth in this candid conversation.As a mother of four who spent 14 years as a stay-at-home mom, Jasmine shares how she navigated the challenging transition into entrepreneurship while keeping her family at the center. "I have to spend time with my kids, I have to spend time with my husband because I am doing this for them," she explains, highlighting the importance of creating boundaries that protect what matters most.When faced with overwhelming business challenges, Jasmine reveals her grounding techniques: "I go to my husband because he keeps me grounded... I'm constantly praying and asking God to help to give me wisdom." This faith-centered approach has become the foundation of her business philosophy, leading her to create the Becoming Her Magazine and the Fearless Flock social club—spaces where faith isn't just acknowledged but celebrated.Particularly insightful is Jasmine's rejection of hustle culture: "God does not want us to deplete ourselves... Yes, push forward to your dreams, don't give up, but don't overwork yourself, because then it changes your viewpoint of the dream." Her perspective challenges popular notions that success requires sacrifice of health and relationships, offering instead a sustainable approach to achievement.For anyone struggling with people-pleasing tendencies, battling perfectionism, or trying to align business goals with personal values, Jasmine's story provides both validation and practical wisdom. Her journey reminds us that we don't have to compromise who we are to achieve success—in fact, embracing our authentic selves might be the very key to unlocking our unique path forward.Ready to approach your goals with renewed perspective?
