🎙️ EP 24: RAS Reset: Train Your Brain for Wins

What do lost keys, a Wonder Woman badge, and a stolen Volkswagen have in common? A magic thread that proves one truth: I’m the type of person where everything works out for me.

This episode pulls you straight into my world of wild proof — keys left on the seat and returned, doors opening because of a badge that should never have worked, and a rooftop carrier painted with sunflowers and a ladybug that turned chaos into a comeback. These stories are more than entertainment — they’re evidence that your brain is always training itself to notice what you believe.

Inside this episode:

• 🌻 The Wonder Woman badge that opened a locked door

• 🔑 The keys on the seat that turned fear into protection

• 🚗 The rooftop carrier too recognizable for the car to be stolen; yet it was

• 🧠 Why the Reticular Activating System (RAS) is your filter for wins or losses

• ✨ How proof-driven mantras flip chaos into momentum and show you what’s possible

I’ll show you how to train your RAS — the bodyguard at the door of your conscious mind — to gather proof of success instead of stories of failure. Once you start feeding it mantras backed by real evidence, miracles stop feeling rare and start showing up everywhere.

So if you’re ready to build a brain filter that roots for you, collects your wins, and delivers miracles right when you need them, this episode is your reset.

EP23 NOT HEARD: Say What You Mean, Receive What You Need

Boundaries, listening, and the provide-and-protect lens for safer love and real connection

This week on the Just Jax Podcast, we close out the Adopt-a-Not series with the hardest one of all: Not Heard.

For years, I believed the problem was men, my marriages, or the people around me. I carried a platinum card in the Man Haters Club, I knew how to cut men down, and I thought that made me powerful. What I refused to see was how much of my own voice I had buried.

In this finale episode, I pull the curtain back on four marriages, six long-term relationships, and one life-changing workshop that forced me to face the truth: before I could demand to be heard, I had to listen to myself first.

You will hear:

• 💬 Why recognition of your own power changes how others respond to you

• 🛡️ The two functions of masculine energy: provide and protect — and what happens when they protect themselves from you instead of for you

• 🪞 The hard lesson that listening to yourself comes before anyone else can hear you

• 🏥 The clinic showdown that proved how shifting energy can change the entire room without saying a word

• 👑 Why female empowerment is about standing beside, free from shrinking or cutting down

This episode is raw, uncomfortable, and honest. It is also liberating. The more I own my standards and my voice, the more space I create for men, my sons, and my relationships to rise into something stronger.

Not Heard is the final cut of the Adopt-a-Nots series. If you have ever felt dismissed, silenced, or talked over, this conversation will give you the courage to speak clean, set standards, and finally hear yourself first.

Episode 22:

Not Chosen — Healing the Pain of Rejection and Choosing Yourself

From family betrayal to faith loss, Episode 22 of the Just Jax Podcast dives into the wound of being left out—and the breakthrough that comes when you realize you were chosen all along.

💬 Jax Quote: "The cure for the sting of being Not Chosen is to finally choose yourself."

Welcome back, my darlings. Episode 22 of the Just Jax Podcast brings us to the sixth Adopt-a-Not: Not Chosen. This one runs deep.

For years, I carried the ache of being passed over—by my mother, by the church, by relationships that broke me down. In this episode, I share the raw stories:

• My mother’s choice of my father over me
  

• The moment I repeated the same cycle with my kids
  

• Family rejection that turned into a courtroom battle
  

• The shock of being left out of my own family picture
  

And then, the breakthrough. I discovered that I actually was chosen—protected in ways I never recognized. That realization flipped everything.

Inside this episode, you’ll hear:

• Why the “Not Chosen” wound can keep you chasing acceptance that never comes
  

• How small daily choices prove you are chosen more often than you realize
  

• The power of the mantra “I’m the type of person…” to rewire identity
  

• Why choosing yourself is the ultimate healing
  

This conversation is my love letter to anyone who has felt invisible, overlooked, or abandoned. You deserve to be your own chosen one.

Episode 21: Not Loved — Why Love is Greater Than Sacrifice

Part five of the Adopt-a-Nots series dives into love languages, boundaries, and a 14-year-old truth bomb that changed everything.

Love. It can be stained-glass beauty that lights up your soul… or it can feel like you’re handing out juice boxes nobody asked for. In this fifth episode of the Adopt-a-Nots series,

Jax goes full throttle into Not Loved—the wound that cuts the deepest and lingers the longest.

This episode brings humor, sass, and a few too-honest family stories to show what love actually looks like when boundaries, communication, and respect are missing.

Jax strips away the sugar coating and dives into the messy truth: love loses its name when it comes at the cost of your own value.

Inside this episode, you’ll get:

• A real-world breakdown of Gary Chapman’s Five Love Languages—why they help, why they trip us up, and how they can flip into weapons when mismatched.

• The infamous orange juice vs. grape juice story—a family lesson in what happens when you keep pouring out what’s easy for you instead of what the other person actually craves. The glass may be full, but the need still goes dry.

• A 14-year-old’s jaw-dropping truth bomb that reminded Jax that “saying no” is allowed—and it is powerful.

• A blunt reflection on why love is greater than sacrifice, and how choosing yourself first changes the entire playing field.

• Practical mantra work: “I’m the type of person who says no when it counts.” Use it. Repeat it. Prove it in real time.

This is love without the Hallmark filter. It’s messy, it’s personal, and it asks you to get honest about how you give and receive.

💡 “You’ll only attract the love that matches the love you give yourself.”

EP 18: NOT SAFE: The Trap of Imagined Danger

This 2nd Adopt-a-Not episode explores the fear behind ‘being prepared’—and how shifting from panic to trust can ease anxiety and reveal what safety really feels like.

I refused to carry orange construction triangles. He called it reckless. I called it belief. This episode of the Adopt-a-Not series challenges the link between control and protection—and unpacks how true safety begins within.

Some people plan for every worst-case scenario. Others trust themselves to handle what shows up.

This episode goes deeper than roadside gear. It asks what safety really means—and whether fear is shaping our definition of protection.

Jax shares the fight that erupted across 800 miles, over triangles, bald tires, and spiritual trust. But it was never about the hill. It was about two people—two beliefs—and one clear decision:

Fear may feel responsible, but belief feels free.

If you're exhausted from carrying emotional packing lists, this one’s for you. Get ready to swap control for calm, and trade survival mode for self-trust.

Quote from the episode: “Believing something bad will happen is the first step in manifesting it.”

✅EP 17 Not Seen — Turns Out That Was My Superpower All Along

✅ Subtitle: I faded into the background, shape-shifted to fit the room, and called it survival. But disappearing gave me clarity, and from that quiet space, I built something louder than approval: the real me. This is the first of the 7-part Adopt-a-Not series.

We're starting where the damage is quiet—where going unseen feels safer than being yourself.

In this debut episode, I pull back the curtain on Not Seen and the shape-shifting that ruled my life for way too long.

Inside this episode:

– The moment my mom admitted I caused her stress

—and how little I’d actually done

– My brother taking up space while I kept shrinking

– That memory at the ball hockey rink, where I showed up bold and still felt invisible –

Wearing bright colors, twisting myself into a human pretzel, and still missing the mark –

How praise for being easygoing helped erase me entirely.

I became a chameleon—first for my mom, then for my aunt—and eventually found a version of myself that belonged to neither.

That’s when Jax showed up.

This episode is about more than invisibility. It’s about clarity and how fading into the background gave me the space to hear me.

You’ll hear: – Why shape-shifting always costs more than it gives – What visibility really means (and it has nothing to do with volume) –

How disappearing became a superpower—because this time, I chose it

🌀 Not Seen kicks off a raw and honest series about the Nots we adopt to stay safe—when what we really crave is to feel seen, wanted, and true to who we are.

Quote to carry with you: “The cure to invisibility is showing up as your full, authentic self.”
