Core Values
We have a goal of INCLUSIVETY to our COMMUNITY, and a duty of SERVICE to those in need. We act out of FAITHFULNESS and are COMMITED to ensuring HAPPINESS.
We believe that Live Life Breathe is the foundation of many good things to come. We believe that your clothing should reflect your lifestyle. Your lifestyle should include taking time to breathe and reflect on all God has blessed you with. Then, once you have given thanks, its time to serve others.
When going through life, just living day to day, sometimes you forget to breathe. These items we sell are meant to encourage taking moments such as brunches with friends, or catching a ball game with friends to just catch your breathe.
Soulmates Born With the Same Vision
Wesley (Veteran), Jasmine (First generation Black Owned Business Owner), and little Eddie (Named after his grandfather on moms side and Great Grandfather on dads side)
Wesley and Jasmine met, wait for it, yes you guessed it, online! Turns out that you can meet your soulmate through Bumble! Jasmine was in college finishing her Masters Degree in Finance and rededicating her life to Yahweh. Wesley was also in school finishing his Masters Degree and serving in the US Army. In both of their profiles they wrote exactly what the other one was looking for. It felt like a match. On their first date Jasmine gifted Wesley a Bible and a certain tone was set. God first in everything. Shortly after, the two were married and 9 months later came baby Edward (now 2!). One of the things that the two connected on was that they were told that their purpose in life was to build something amazing for Gods kingdom. Neither knew exactly what that meant until one day, Jasmine's job forced her to quit because they did not offer Maternity leave or job security to come back after birth. Wesley and Jasmine both felt that this was the opportunity to start working on the purpose God had given them...
Well, we wish we could say everything was perfect. But for a period of time the company started with no real direction, no real message, and a completely different name! They sold everything from wall floating shelves, to pet food and dog bones! They tried many different things for over a year and began to feel lost, discouraged, and maybe like they got Gods vision wrong. Then life hit and it seemed like they simply didn't have time for the business anymore. The baby needing things, Wesley had to be gone for months at a time, they both suffered a ton of family-members passing due to Covid and other reasons. The Schroeders even experienced the loss of their own unborn child. Somehow things became just hard to breathe.
Then came the day that God told Jasmine to go dance for the lord. A friend of hers hosted a gospel zumba class and somehow Jasmine was the only one that showed up to the class! That's when God started speaking. He said to trust in the purpose and visions that I have given you. Be obedient. "The Spirit of God has made me, and the breath of the Almighty gives me life." Job 33:4. God breathed life into the Schroeders family on that day. Wesley built for Jasmine their first pop up and in 3 months they had fulfilled over 400 orders from customers. Some orders as large as $400!
The brand was renamed to Live Life Breathe. Whatever your story, whatever you are going through, just know that God is watching over you. He can breathe life into whatever your situation is. The Schroeders journey continues.
Thank you for being a part of that journey. We hope that you all find items here that will inspire you to get dressed and go out and do whatever you need to do take your mental health back into your hands. For us that was going to bible studies. For you, that might be picking out a cute outfit and going to volunteer somewhere. Whatever it is, we are glad that you are here! We do have a community on FB that you can join, and we also donate 5% of your purchases to two charities that support mental health awareness initiatives. You can choose where you'd like to support on any product page. Thank you!
