Jasmine Jordan opened up about struggling with seeking help

Jasmine Jordan took center stage in a compelling and enlightening episode of the podcast ‘Birth Queen’ to discuss her experience and dreams. Offering a glimpse into her personal life, she gave insights into the difficulties and victories she faced along the road. Jasmine achieved a personal milestone during her tenure at Syracuse University when she met her beau, Rakeem Christmas. As their romance developed, the pair got engaged in 2018. However, what she did not see coming was an unexpected pregnancy in May 2019, after which she gave birth to a boy.

During her recent appearance on the podcast, Jasmine opened up about her struggles with self-reliance, and revealed how her mother Juanita compelled her to show ‘weakness.’

Daughter of Michael Jordan questioned her role as a mother

While on the show, she also revealed the “push moment” in her life. It was the time her son fell sick for the first time. He was around 6 months old when he came down with a fever. However, being a parent for the first time, this was a troubling moment for her as her son refused to sleep or eat properly. Her anxiety caused her to ponder if she was succeeding in her role as a mother. Jasmine then decided to visit a pediatrician in Charlotte, North Carolina.

Her pediatrician handled the case with ease and her son was asleep in no time. The pediatrician recognized her weariness and encouraged her to let go, to allow herself to release any pent-up emotions. This made her realize that her struggles and uncertainties were visible, and her kind gesture made her feel understood and supported.

It also made her realize that she didn’t have to face it alone. She had a community, a village of people around her who were willing to help and support her. It was okay to lean on others for assistance and guidance.
