Jordan chats with Laina Caltagirone today all about how to manifest your dream life. Laina is such an amazing human and perfect example of someone going after what sets there soul on fire! She founded her own retreat-based company, Soulcation, is a successful coach + manifestation expert, and get this - she used to be an attorney! Jordan and Laina have been emailing for over 4 years, just before Laina hosted her first retreat, because she was interested in offering t-shirts from Jordan’s apparel line. Isn’t it crazy how much time changes things? This episode is full of so much amazing advice, and I just know you all are going to love her as much as I do.   Are you #OnShrooms yet? Jordan has been loving Four Sigmatic more than ever (if you haven’t already, check out episode 85 with the company’s founder, Tero Isokauppila) because she’s cut out coffee entirely. If you’re trying to stay off of coffee but still want to feel alert and awake, there’s nothing better for you or better tasting than the caffeine-free

Jordan chats with Atticus Poetry, an anonymous poet and New York Times best-selling author, today on the podcast. This was such a cool experience, as Atticus hasn’t revealed his identity publically. (Don’t worry, Jordan keeps his secret!)   Jordan has been following Atticus Poetry on Instagram for years now, and had no idea what to expect, but she felt SO honored that he said yes to coming on the podcast! Atticus is such an old soul + refreshing human in a world where everyone seems to want to be famous. If you don’t follow him on Instagram, or have yet to read one of his beautiful books, Jordan highly recommends it!   Do you have trouble finding affordable, on-trend, and CUTE workout clothes?

It’s been a little while since Jordan has done a solo episode, but it’s time for an update. Jordan gets right to it by answering some seriously amazing questions from you all! Jordan even shares who the new ‘Jordan Rising’ is - thanks to a message from Seana, The Bohemian Blonde.   Jordan dives deep into the treatments she does for Lyme, and how she’s noticed a difference in her protocall. She also shares ALL about the wedding planning she’s been up to (a date has been picked!) and how to manifest YOUR perfect partner. Jordan talks all about how it’s been cutting out her usual exercise, and really turning inward to set the tone for how she feels outwardly. Jordan even goes more in-depth about her SOS-free lifestyle and how much of a difference that has made in her life. (Plus tips on how to incorporate SOS-free meals in your life!)   Are you #OnShrooms yet? Jordan has been loving Four Sigmatic more than ever (if you haven’t already, check out episode 85 with the company’s founder, Tero Isokauppila) because sh

Jordan chats with her dear friend, Mariah Lyons, about all things astrology, crystals, energy and grounding. Mariah began to realize the importance of her own personal grounding some time ago, which is where the idea of her business Astara (her amazing luxury footwear line with crystals infused into the shoe) was born! Mariah and Jordan also talk about what it’s like to do + be known for more than one thing in life, and how similar they are in their life + relationships. This conversation was so enlightening and could not have come at a better time!   They also dive into Mariah’s struggles with Hashimoto’s and Endometriosis, discuss spirit animals and the energy of the Earth, attracting and manifesting their perfect partners, and so much more.   Do you have trouble finding affordable, on-trend, and CUTE workout clothes? Look no further - Fabletics is an amazing company that Jordan just loves because they offer so many great activewear options at an absolutely exceptional price! Plus, their mantra, “Live your

Jordan chats with Charity Lighten, chief nutritionist, CEO + co-founder of Silver Fern Probiotics. They talk all about gut health and how to create a better environment in your own body + outside of it, too!  Charity also opens up about what it’s been like since her husband’s cancer diagnosis, and how she’s tried to use her years of research to help him heal. Jordan was so happy to connect with Charity, she is SUCH a positive light and plethora of knowledge!   You know how much Jordan loves her probiotics, and with Charity Lighten on today’s episode, it couldn’t be more fitting than to share Silver Fern! Silver Fern has the proper amount of strains of bacteria in their probiotic, so it can actually arrive alive in your intestinal tract. (That’s what you want!) Head on over to Silver Fern’s website and use the code BLONDE for 20% off your order! Jordan just loves their probiotic, and the plant protein powder (it’s chocolate flavored!)   We are doing a FUN giveaway with Silver Fern! If you want a chance to win

Jordan chats with one of her BEST friends, Rachel Mansfield, about being a regular guest on the podcast (this is the 6th time!) and all about her pregnancy journey – from balancing her hormones to fertility treatments, getting pregnant, and the gender reveal.   Rachel and Jordan also chat all about Rachel’s upcoming cookbook + how the preparation for that has been with her pregnancy news! Plus, a special guest joins in (hint: it’s Jordan’s soon-to-be hubby)! Naturally, things get a little woo-woo – Jordan + Rachel revisit Rachel’s natal chart and human design, which show that she’s a manifesting generator, a Libra Moon, Gemini Sun, and a Cancer Rising, which is actually SUPER similar to Jordan’s signs. No wonder they are such great friends!   Do you have trouble finding affordable, on-trend, and CUTE workout clothes? Look no further - Fabletics is an amazing company that Jordan just loves because they offer so many great activewear options at an absolutely exceptional price! Plus, their mantra, “Live your pas

Jordan chats with Sage + AnnaBlanca, the dynamic power couple behind Addictive Wellness Chocolate. These two could not be more knowledgeable when it comes to herbs, hormones, adaptogens, Traditional Chinese Medicine, “jing slinging,” and of course… what we are all obsessed with: healthy, wellness-boosting, nutrient-dense CHOCOLATE. And appropriately, this episode is a real treat! We explore why hormone health is so important, the difference between mens’ and womens’ hormones, the herbs that we can use to boost our health + energy, all of their tips + tricks for working with your significant other – and, of course, chocolate!   Jordan actually first talked to AnnaBlanca YEARS ago, shortly after they started Addictive Wellness, when she was reaching out to a lot of wellness blogs. AnnaBlanca was incredibly kind back then and she still brings that radiant energy now. We are so grateful to Sage + AnnaBlanca for bringing all of their positive energy (and their hysterical vibes) to this delicious conversation!   Ar

Jordan chats with a woman who goes by many titles: Deborah Hanekamp, Mama Medicine, and “fashion’s favorite healer,” as she was dubbed by Vogue. That last bit is just so cool because it shows the progress that we’re making as a society when a mainstream outlet like Vogue writes about a healer in our amazing spiritual + wellness community.   Deborah does medicine readings that are truly life changing, drawing on a variety of different practices she has learned from a decade of working with Amazonian shamans and studying all sorts of spiritual and medical modalities. By combining all of that ancestral wisdom with her gift to see people’s auras, Deborah is able to guide her clients through a truly one-of-a-kind healing experience! Jordan got to experience this first-hand during a life-changing session with Deborah a few months ago, which of course we talk all about in this episode.   In the episode we also discuss Deborah’s take on certifications in the wellness world (i.e. “money makers”), the amazing space she

Jordan chats with Jane Younger – her mother, her best friend, and the fashion blogger behind Dirty Martinis and Skinny Jeans – about something monumentally huge that happened since the last episode... Jordan’s engagement to Jonathan (you can find all the deets about The Proposal Story in Jordan’s blog)!!   You know that Jordan hasn’t been feeling her best lately, between Lyme Disease and mold poisoning and a whole host of other things, but over these past couple weeks she has been riding the vibration of LOVE and feeling better than she has in a very long time. She and her mom discuss her journey in this episode and what they’ve both learned along the way.   Spindrift is as natural as it gets: a sparkling water made with REAL squeezed fruit (and none of the added stuff you don’t want). That’s it! Just delicious flavors like Raspberry Lime, Cucumber, and Strawberry that are bursting with flavor and leave you feeling refreshed. You can order Spindrift online at spindriftfresh.com or find it in stores near you

Jordan chats with two inspirational powerhouses who inspire her more than they could ever know: Lauren Paul and Molly Mae Thompson, the Founders of Kind Campaign. Jordan has been following their work with the Kind Campaign since long before she had met either of them, and having the opportunity to interview them about their work, friendship, motherhood, and lives was an incredible experience that she is so excited to share with the listeners of the show.   Kind Campaign is an anti-bullying non-profit that has been going into schools and spreading kindness for over a decade. Their assemblies and documentary, Finding Kind, bring awareness and healing to the negative and lasting effects of girl-against-girl bullying, which is unfortunately something that pretty much every girl experiences at some point in their life. It is beautiful and selfless work, something that has changed girls’ lives all over the globe for a full decade now.   These Kind Girls share some awesome stories in this episode, including their ow

Jordan chats with Dana James, who does just so many things: she’s a functional medicine nutritionist who blends Western medicine with holistic practices, a cognitive behavioral therapist, and the author The Archetype Diet: Reclaim Your Self-Worth and Change the Shape of Your Body.   So what is The Archetype Diet? Well, it’s incredible and such a unique approach to our relationship with good. This new approach to holistic wellness can help you find your unique female archetype to combat emotional eating, lose weight, and become your happiest, healthiest you.   Jordan is an Ethereal – of course! – and Dana is a Wonder Woman, which explains how she’s able to rock a bi-coastal life and get so much done. Want to know what archetype you are?! Take the quiz by clicking here! If you suffer from an eating disorder or body image issues, or just issues with food in general, I think you’ll find Dana’s work extremely helpful and wonderfully inspirational.   Dana + Jordan are also giving away one FREE copy of Dana’s book,

The first time Jordan sat down with MaryAnn DiMarco in episode 42, it was mind blowing. She is the most accurate, legitimate, and detailed medium that Jordan has ever spoken to. So if you’re a little skeptical about psychic mediums, then maybe these conversations will open you up to new possibilities. (MaryAnn is just so specific... it’s hard not to become a believer!!)   Thanks to a bit of divine guidance (and broken internet), Jordan found herself recording this conversation at her best friend Jillian Jaime’s house. MaryAnn read Jillian, too, delving into everything from her health to her love life to what she eats for breakfast. So get ready for a double dose of spiritual goodness in this episode!   Jordan would like to thank REBBL for sponsoring the show. You’ve probably already heard Jordan raving about REBBL (they were actually her very first sponsor!), but if you don’t know, REBBL is a coconut milk-based elixir and protein drink company driven by a HUGE mission.  And they have some exciting news: new

In this episode Jordan chats with her dear friend and mega inspiration (and a new podcaster herself), Kelli Tennant! Kelli is also a longtime survivor of chronic Epstein-Barr Virus, and has dealt with years of misdiagnoses and her illness getting in the way of her life time and again. Because of all she has been through, she’s one of the people that Jordan has been able to call at any time, no matter how sick she is herself, for support and compassion. On her new podcast  The Platform, Kelli is offering that same support and love to all of her listeners – plus a whole lot of awesome stories from other inspiring women – so that we can all learn how to navigate perfectionism, health, criticism, success, and growth.   Kelli and Jordan chat about Kelli’s brave decision to leave her career in sports broadcasting to put her health first, what it was like to be struggling with an illness for years before finding the correct diagnosis, the relief of finding a community that can offer support and love, dating someone

Jordan is cuddling up with Hudson in her brand-new apartment and ready for some REAL TALK. It’s been five weeks since Jordan’s Chronic Lyme Disease diagnosis and, frankly, she has a whole lot to talk about! There’s the initial diagnosis process, the treatments she’s been trying out, all the questions you all have been asking on social media, her health history (which, really, is a brief history of Jordan Younger), and how this diagnosis represents a turning point after a decade of being sick with no answers.   This isn’t a time to complain about the struggles of Chronic Lyme... this is also a celebration of finally having an answer!!   If you suffer from a chronic illness, you are not alone and we hope this episode makes you feel so much more understood. You will heal, and that is what matters.   Are you #OnShrooms yet? Jordan has been loving Four Sigmatic more than ever (if you haven’t already, check out episode 85 with the company’s founder, Tero Isokauppila) because she’s cut out coffee entirely. If you’re

Jordan chats with Ally Hilfiger, the author of Bite Me: How Lyme Disease Stole My Childhood, Made Me Crazy, and Almost Killed Me and a huge advocate for all of the warriors out there struggling with Chronic Lyme, late stage neurological Lyme disease, and chronic illness in general. As someone who lived through the pain and the struggle firsthand for MANY years, Ally has a much-appreciated perspective on Lyme – and Jordan has a lot of questions! But don’t worry: this episode isn’t a downer at all!! It’s a very positive, lighthearted, and uplifting look at how we CAN heal from chronic illness, as Ally has.   The ladies discuss Ally’s descent into chronic Lyme disease and the many years she went undiagnosed, being misdiagnosed with everything under the sun. Eventually, Ally had to be institutionalized because no one could understand what was plaguing her, and it was there that she was finally diagnosed with late stage Lyme disease. Her journey is fascinating, inspiring, and a true reality for many who live with

Jordan chats with Marissa Lace, whom you may know from her very high-vibe crystal shop (Light, Love, & Lace), her high vibing and super popular YouTube channel, or her equally high vibe Instagram page. Jordan fell in love with Marissa’s YouTube channel a couple of years ago, and the girls quickly became friends after Marissa came on the podcast last year.   Marissa just recently moved back to LA so Jordan was thrilled to have her back on to discuss all things spiritual, high vibe, woo-woo, crystals, family histories, and more. Marissa has an uncanny ability to speak the truth, live the truth, and live in her most authentic and divine radiant light – and Jordan is so excited to share that inspiring light with all of you today!! They get into vulnerable details about everything from money, to business, to family, to spirit guides, and back to business and their brands.   This episode is also a very raw and real look at what it’s like to live with Lyme… as this was in the middle of a particularly difficult “

Jordan chats with the amazing Jasmine Hemsley, a wellness and Ayurveda expert who is helping to bring ancient Eastern philosophies on health & wellness into the modern Western world with her book, East by West: Simple Recipes for Ultimate Mind-Body Balance as well as her incredible cafe in London, Hemsley + Hemsley. Her Ayurvedic tips and tools are so incredibly helpful, and the recipes are delicious. Prepare to fall in love with this self-care queen (if you haven’t already)... because she is also the most adorable fashionista & kindest soul, as you will see!!   Jordan also starts this episode off with something a lot of you have been asking for: another breathwork exercise!! Wherever you are, follow along, tune back into your breath, and set your soul on FIRE!   In this episode we cover everything from Ayurvedic doshas to tips for incorporating more Ayurveda and self-care into your busy lives to foods and grounding practices that will help you feel more centered, whatever your imbalances may be. You

Jordan chats with one of her good friends and fellow wellness bloggers, Nicole Cogan, a fabulous and inspiring human who left the corporate world to start her gluten-free blog NOBREAD five years ago. There’s always so much to talk about when Nicole comes on the show because these girls can talk about anything: hustling at work, their mutual health issues, numerology, shamanism, relationship issues, Nicole’s new hosting gig at This is LA, and of course a quick check in on Vanderpump Rules!!   Jordan has been feeling absolutely wiped since she’s started treatment for her Chronic Lyme (she talks all about getting diagnosed in the intro to last week’s episode), so you’ll probably be seeing a lot of familiar faces on the show for the next few weeks. Good news for you: Jordan has awesome friends, and things always get real + raw when they talk!!   Lately, Jordan has been relying on her Sun Basket deliveries to get great, healthy food on the table! They deliver healthy and delicious recipes with fresh ingredients st

Jordan chats with Elizabeth Kott, who many of you probably know from the incredibly popular, hysterical, and all-around-awesome wellness podcast That’s So Retrograde! Jordan loves Elizabeth’s show (co-hosted with Stephanie Simbari), and if you do too you may know that Elizabeth has been very raw + open about the skin journey she has been on over the last year and a half.   Since Jordan has had ALL the skin issues this year – from eczema to hives to acne to her skin just feeling on fire all the time –  so Elizabeth was the perfect person to have on the show to discuss the ins, the outs, the healing process, and more. If you’re dealing with any skin issues yourself, or even just self-esteem issues, this conversation is a much-needed dose of support + inspiration!!   Are you #OnShrooms yet? Jordan loves Four Sigmatic (if you haven’t already, check out episode 85 with the company’s founder, Tero Isokauppila) because they make it so easy to get these magical, medicinal mushrooms that are packed full of adaptogens,
