Here's a secret: you don't have to hustle and be a boss babe to accomplish things. And you don't have to be tough and intimidating to succeed.

Maybe you think you can't be soft. You believe you have to be tough to succeed and get ahead.

Maybe you've been hurt in the past and so you've learned to close yourself off from others.

Maybe you've been trying to earn respect from others and be taken seriously and you believe the way to do that is to act intimidating because you see strength and toughness as the same thing.

Or perhaps in the stress and busyness of your life, you sometimes act harshly with those around you even though you don't want to.

But what would it look like to be a soft woman? To operate from a place of rest and embrace your feminine identity? To be gentle and strong at the same time?

In this episode, Jordan talks with Certified Etiquette Consultant and Femininity Coach Amanda Ferguson about femininity, strength, and what it looks like to be a soft woman.

Tune in to learn:

• What it looks like to be a soft woman

Have you ever had to decide to let go of a dream or a good thing?

Maybe you thought the relationship you’re in would lead to marriage or you thought the job you took was your dream job.

Maybe the city you moved to isn’t a fit anymore, the home you thought you would grow old in is becoming too much work, or your schedule has become overwhelming and you can’t do it all.

When we have things in our life that didn’t turn out how we thought they would, or when we take on too much at once, it often leads us to a point where we have to make a decision - and maybe even let go of something that seemed like a good thing.

This can often be one of the hardest decisions to make because letting go feels a lot like giving up and you start to wonder if this makes you a quitter (psst… it doesn’t).

In this episode, Jordan talks all about how to know when to let go of a good thing. This is the second episode in a series that goes along with her new book, Embrace Your Almost.

With additional content that complements chapter 2 of the book and reflection questions to ask yourself, this episode will help you navigate letting go of something good and making space for what’s better.

With a society that’s obsessed with diet culture, even “healing” diets like Whole 30, Paleo, and Keto, we often love having easy-to-follow lists that tell us exactly what to eat and not eat in order to be healthy.

But this has led to nutrition becoming overly black and white, with people often demonizing certain foods. Unfortunately, this way of thinking can lead to restrictive dieting, food fear, and even malnutrition and worsening health conditions.

So how do we nourish and heal our bodies without succumbing to restriction and fear? How can we enjoy food freedom while also fueling our body with the appropriate nutrients that will help us thrive?

That’s what Jordan explores in this episode with Kori Meloy and Fallon Danae as they discuss what it really looks like to nourish your body, restore your metabolism, and experience food freedom.

Tune in to this powerful episode to learn about:

• Kori and Fallon’s own healing journey through endometriosis, Hashimoto’s, and restrictive eating
• The importance of nourishing your body to support your metabolism
• What it looks like to fuel your body with biologically available and restorative foods
• The harm of diet culture and following popular diets
• How many calories we really need and why most women aren’t getting enough

Let's be honest, there's something a little magical about a warm beverage in the morning - and coffee is the drink of choice for many people. But there's also a lot of research about the negative effects caffeine can have on the body and your hormonal health.

In this episode, Jordan talks about what different health experts have to say about caffeine. Plus, she shares how she cut back on caffeine and learned to fuel her body to support natural energy levels.

• Why Jordan cut out caffeine and what different experts have to say about enjoying a cup of joe

Have you ever felt unsure of what to say or how to respond to a friend who is going through a difficult time? You want to support her, but you're worried you'll say the wrong thing and make it worse or you're at a loss for what you can do to be helpful for her in this season.

Or maybe you've been the one to go through something really hard, whether it was a loss, health diagnosis, financial struggle, relationship breakup, or something else. And when you tried to talk with your friends or family about it, the way they responded was frustrating or even hurtful, which made you feel invalidated and lonely.

Even when we genuinely care about someone in our life and we have the best intentions, we can find it hard to know what to say or how to best support them in their struggle. And yet, supporting each other through the hard times is an important life skill - and an essential part of any good friendship.

In a society where polarizing arguments have become increasingly more common, along with heated political division and clashes on social media, it sure can feel overwhelming to try and have a respectful conversation about today’s issues.

And that’s not the only struggle.

Add to the mix that different news sources often report from vastly different perspectives and biases, it can feel like a huge struggle to even get the facts about an issue in the first place.

So, how can we overcome our own biases, work to hear both sides of the issue, investigate the real facts beneath political division, and have respectful conversations with the aim to understand rather than to win an argument?

In this episode, Jordan sets out to answer those questions with guest Sharon McMahon, the woman often referred to as "America's Government Teacher."

If you have ever felt intimidated by the growing prevalence of polarizing views, misinformation, and political division, then make sure you tune in to this episode to learn:

• What biases are and how to spot them in ourselves and in the media
• Ways to determine which sources are reputable
• The role experts play (and don't play) in the distribution of information
• The importance of our role in holding the media accountable
• How to have conversations with people you disagree with, in person and on social media

Have you ever struggled with a chronic skincare issue like acne (ya know, the kind you're only supposed to have in those super awkward middle school years)?

If you have, you know that skin issues can be extremely frustrating, painful, and, yes, embarrassing.

Often, recommendations from doctors and dermatologists usually involved harsh cleansers, creams, and medications that were full of toxins.

But navigating what skincare products are truly non-toxic can be challenging. Many brands greenwash their labels and market them as "organic, "natural", or "plant-based" when in reality they're still full of harmful toxins.

So how can you find non-toxic skincare products that aren't full of junk and actually work?

To answer that question, Jordan chats with Bethany McDaniel, the CEO of Primally Pure, a line of 100% natural and toxin-free skincare products. 

Get ready to take notes and tune in to learn:

• The dangers of conventional products in stores and how they're negatively affecting our health
• Ingredients in skincare products that you should avoid and why
• How to evaluate the ingredient label of a skincare product
• Problems we're seeing when it comes to the regulation of ingredients and marketing terms in the U.S.

• The benefits of gua sha and dry brushing

But what does this look like?  

How can we create rhythms that help prioritize nutritionally dense foods and support our metabolism?

And what nutrition principles have we grown up with that we need to unlearn?

In this episode, Jordan talks with women's health educator and the founder of Simpl Holistic Health, Ashlee Rowland, about how to source nutritionally dense foods, get enough minerals, and support our metabolism.

Tune in to learn:

• How nutrient-deficient soil leads to nutrient-deficient food
