The Jasmine Star Show

Ever stared at a beautifully designed landing page template and thought, “Ugh… how do I make my copy fit into THAT?” Girl, same. But lucky for us, I’ve got a not-so-secret weapon: Katie Haahr. In this shortie episode of The Jasmine Star Show, Katie—my brilliant right-hand and co-content creator at Social Curator—walks us through how we use AI (yep, ChatGPT!) to match our landing page design perfectly with the right words. It’s not complicated. It’s not techy. It’s actually wildly simple and wildly effective. Katie shares how she takes screenshots of our design templates, drags them into ChatGPT, adds our raw Google Doc copy, and prompts it to make the two work seamlessly together. Headers, bullet points, tone, structure—it all gets aligned in minutes instead of hours. Here’s the deal: You don’t need to be an expert copywriter. You don’t need to stress over sentence length or character count anymore. You just need a screenshot, a prompt, and this 10-minute podcast. So whether you're creating a new sales page, building a funnel, or trying to sound more polished (without hiring an agency), this one’s for you. ✨ In this episode, you’ll learn: * How to pair design with copy using ChatGPT * The prompts Katie uses to “train” AI like a creative assistant * Why this saves HOURS on our marketing workflow * How we treat AI like a collaborator, not a replacement Spoiler alert: AI isn’t going to replace your creativity. It’s going to amplify it. Let’s write smarter, not harder. 💻 Ready to make your landing pages convert like crazy? Let’s go.

Today’s episode is extra special, friends — I'm sitting down with my husband, best friend, co-founder, and favorite human, JD Delatorre. After only 20 years together (and nearly that long building businesses side-by-side!), I finally convinced JD to sit behind the mic and share his perspective on what it really looks like to be married to your business partner…and still like each other. 😂 We’re talking about: How I roped JD into recording this episode (spoiler: a "finger shake" contract was involved!) What it's like to mix marriage and entrepreneurship for two decades The unglamorous but honest dynamics of decision-making, communication, and occasional eye-rolling How our relationship and business roles have evolved, especially after becoming parents The three words JD uses to describe me as a business partner AND a wife (grab tissues — this one got me right in the feels 🥹) This conversation is totally unscripted, a little messy, full of laughter, and packed with real talk about what it takes to not just build a thriving business — but a thriving marriage too. If you’ve ever wondered how we navigate it all — from finger shakes to 10x dreams — this one’s for you. Because here’s the truth: Building a business with someone you love is hard. Loving them through it all is even harder. But it’s also the most beautiful journey you can imagine.
