Former Lipska client, was in one of her earlier group community a few years back. This was before she was a coach. One word. Wow. It's incredible that I'm not alone in feeling a little weird about the way she became money hungry. Everything mentioned in this forum is spot on. She's nice, but can tell she is inexperienced and just regurgitates free content you can find online. Back then she wasn't in a relationship and would get uncomfortable talking about dating and relationships. So it's interesting to see that she went full on in dating & relationship advice based on her only romantic relationship with Josh.
I think the most interesting thing about her program is that there were teenage girls in the paid group program (like 15-16 yo). Makes sense because most of them came from watching her YouTube content. I always thought it was weird that these younger girls were paying for her programs, because they accepted everything Jasmine was telling them as the truth, and lacked critical thinking skills. I assume they got the money and permission from their parents? But signing up back then, you didn't have to indicate age, which is weird looking back in hindsight because a lot of what she was sharing were therapy topics like mental health.
At some points, I felt uncomfortable Jasmine giving out advice to the teenage girls, when in reality I think a lot of these younger girls were highly vulnerable and would have benefitted from a therapist. I would not be surprised if those same teenage girls are now paying for her current programs because her Loved program is targeted for those who are inexperienced in relationships. I find a lot of her current programs don't appeal to me anymore or an older adult audience.
She also tried to sell me to join her other paid programs. I politely rejected because didn't feel like any of her programs were dealing with anything I needed help on and her lack of experience.
I'm not a fan that she calls herself a life coach and promotes "inner child healing", and "shadow work". Generally speaking, coaching is more focused on helping you achieve your future goals, while therapy tends to have more of a past and present focus.
The work she is proclaiming is what therapy does, which is misleading because she is not a therapist. That disclaimer is important because I think a lot of people who come across her content treat her services like therapy. Especially when she talks about childhood wounds, she does not have the education to consult her clients on it in an ethical, medical or responsible way.
This wording on her bio is also concerning "Guiding women in embodying self-love to create the 𝗹𝗼𝘃𝗲 and 𝗮𝗯𝘂𝗻𝗱𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲 of their dreams". Therapy focuses on the topics Jasmine is proclaiming she is helping her clients with, such as mental health, eating disorders, body image, etc. If she wants to claim life coaching, her work needs to focus on helping her clients achieve goals not related to their mental health or well-being.
The major difference between therapy and life coaching is the focus of the work: therapy focuses on mental health and emotional healing, while life coaching focuses on setting and achieving goals. The way she advertises and operates her business is kind of misleading and unethical because it sounds a lot like therapy. I'm surprised no one has called her out on that.

"Dating apps are evil": met his wife on a dating app and does sponsorships and promotions of Bumble.
"Toxic masculinity is harmful": had no problem bullying Sean Nalewanyj (remember him OG readers?) the far more successful fitness YouTuber who called out Josh for promoting crap, baseless exercises (throwback to the healthhunk days) has actively gone out of his way to DM people who dare to call him out and bully them relentlessly.
I turned away from a successful corporate life to build a dream in Bali: he said he was a successful area manager when in reality, he just did work experience at a supermarket headquarters. Clearly wasn't that successful if he had to turn to stripping for money, had to live with roommates in Bali where the living rate is notoriously low that's how much he was struggling.
"I value women so much! Soul sisters are so important" Dumped every woman in her life who wasn't uplevelling her at the drop of a hat and if she hasn't dumped them, completely thrown them under the bus for her own benefit (Jingjing for example) only female friends she has are those she's networking/leeching off.
I am so in tune with my body: hated her body for the majority of her life. Puts herself in embarrassing awkward positions of oversharing in order to overcompensate. Always looks like she's being held at gunpoint during her dance videos. Barely gets 1000 likes and 20 comments despite having 52k followers.
I love my clients so much, they are aligned with me: yes you love them so much you're hiking up your prices even more in order to scam them and throw them away when you're done with them.
but all of you have absolutely hit the nail on the head!
Before her therapy, I remember a moment in a bali vlog, she was singing in front of her miror and she looked soo sad... And now she's puts herself through isolation again. I know there's the pandemic, but she had the vaccine she could do social or cultural activities in a safe way.
