What does it mean to be a true artist—one who creates not for fame or applause, but because the soul requires it?

In this heartfelt and inspiring conversation, I sit down with Jasmina G. Pizarro, a tri-lingual actress from a small town in Catalonia, Spain. With warmth, grace, and a magnetic spirit, Jasmina shares how she’s built a life rooted in creativity, intuition, and truth—far from the hustle of Hollywood, yet deeply connected to her artistry.

We talk about… 🎭 Her early start in theatre and deep artistic lineage 🌿 Life in the Catalan countryside and what it teaches her as an actress 🎨 Staying inspired while living outside major entertainment markets 💫 And the power of listening to your inner voice—especially when the world gets loud

The episode closes with a beautiful message from Jasmina in her native language, Catalan—one that will stay with you long after the episode ends.

This one is for the dreamers outside the spotlight. The artists who create because they must. The ones finding magic in small places. 🌍✨
