Hello everyone! Its been a while since I've checked in on this thread and my goodness, theres been so many updates
Congratulations to Jas and Josh and baby Alaya - it always warms my heart to see a pregnancy go smoothly and I'm glad Jasmine received excellent support at the hospital - its not uncommon for birthing women to be mistreated at hospitals so its refreshing to hear some good news for once!
My thoughts on everything: I'm not surprised at her return to Christianty - that whole new-age spirituality phase she went through always struck me as extremely inauthentic to who she truly is. Contrary to some of the opinions here, I don't think she's a hardcore right-wing Evangelical at all - based on what she's shared so far about her religious views (which granted is not a lot), her relationship with religion seems very moderate. And this is coming from an atheist! Overall her religious views seems to be coming from a more healthy and genuine place than when she was parroting all these new-age beliefs. Despite not being religious myself, I do think religion can be beneficial when its done in a genuinely loving and non-oppressive way, and that seems to be the case for Jasmine so I'm happy for her.
I made many criticisms in the past of her life coaching business, and her admitting that she "fell down the new-age rabbit hole" definitely validates those criticisms. I never felt she was qualified as a life coach and was always doing it more for the money, especially considering a lot of her teachings centred around these so called new-age practices that she now rejects. Many vulnerable people came to her for help and I do truly believe that she took advantage of some of her clients, even if it was not her intention. Not only was she unqualified, but I think her business was mostly ego-motivated, wanting to achieve higher and higher financial goals. Honestly I think its fine and even healthy for your goals to be ego or financially motivated. But what rubs me the wrong way is that she'd always frame her business as being driven by a genuine desire to help people, when that was far from the truth. And now that Josh is the primary breadwinner, she finally admits that new-age spirituality was inauthentic to her, she finally admits that she had an unhealthy relationship with money and business. Jasmine will never publicly admit to the harm her coaching business has caused to clients, but I know some part of her is aware of this and she probably doesn't want to admit it to herself.
I'm also not surprised that she's become a young mother - I've always had a feeling this was on the cards for her. Again, it seems authentic to her and to be honest... in spite of her coaching scandal, I think motherhood was a big wake up call for her and helped her grow away from it and that she will ultimately be a good mother. Her birth story video was nice and I can see just how much she loves her daughter.
Josh on the other hand... ugh where do I even begin? He is very honest about how fact that he did not want to become a father yet. On his channel, he has a video where he mentions "It felt like grief, it felt like my past self was dead. My denial and grief kicked in and I wanted to reject this reality....I'm not celebrating, I'm not living my best life... - I
tit you not these are actual quotes from Josh. I'm sorry but if I was his wife I'd really be questioning our relationship after hearing this. I understand that fatherhood can bring up complicated feelings, and Josh's emotions are valid. What bothers me is the way hat he handled these feelings with such a lack of grace and publicly shared the process in such a negative light. It's saddening to me.
I wonder what her advice would be to Alaya would be if she did the same things. 
although I think she's saying that to save face and deep down, I would hope she has an ounce of humanity to feel a bit of remorse at least, hence the Christian rebrand...
