What happens when you can’t find the culture and community you’re searching for? You create it yourself. That’s exactly what today’s guest, Jasmina Jaskovic, did. Influenced by her experiences across cultures and countries, she set out to build a space that reflects creativity, connection, and belonging—founding CASA CDM in the process. In this episode, Jasmina shares how to attract your people, design the life you want, and why women don’t have to choose just one path.
