The incredible celebrity esthetician Sadie Adams, our wonderful guest, has drastically transformed Jordan’s skin over the past few months through her unique microcurrent facial technique. Not only is she a skincare guru and shamanic facialist, she’s also trained in Ayurveda and yoga from the Ayurvedic Institute!! And on top of that, Sadie leads guided meditations at her home every week. Basically, she has the most soul on fire job EVER because she’s blended everything she loves into a career… can you say inspiring?   If you live in NYC or LA, you can go see Sadie or one of her amazing estheticians, too, at Take Care, a wellness collective of estheticians, meditation, and movement facilitators, focused on continued education, self-care, and balanced living.   In this episode the ladies break down the what, why, and how of microcurrent facials from the science to the energetics. Sadie also discusses how lymphatic drainage can be done at home, as well as her transformational meditation techniques. You won’t want

Jordan chats with Alisa Vitti, a fertility guru, creator of the MyFlo app, and the Author of WomanCode: Perfect Your Cycle, Amplify Your Fertility, Supercharge Your Sex Drive, and Become a Power Source. Jordan discovered this book at the exact time she needed it most, when she learned that she had a large fibroid on her uterus (when she was getting an IUD inserted, no less!) and reading it completely changed her life. Needless to say, she got her IUD removed just weeks later. Alisa’s book will tell you everything you need to know about your period and hormonal health – and when it comes to our own health, knowledge is the greatest power that we can have.   Alisa is here to end the cult of period misinformation and mythology that makes women suffer needlessly, and her mission is to ensure that women understand how to properly care and nourish themselves to have a healthy hormone balance. You can help yourself by getting the book and checking out the MyFlo app, where you can sync your cycle and just learn abou

Jordan chats with the most important person in her life, the one-and-only Jonathan Albrecht!! The last time Jonathan was on the show, he and Jordan talked all about falling in love with your best friend… but today they’re doing something a little different!   Jordan just got back home from Bali and, for the very first time, she is handing over the mic and letting someone else ask her the questions!! Jonathan asks Jordan all about her trip to Bali and they get to connect about her trip in a whole new way. It’s his first time hearing the answers to these questions as well.   They touch on how it was to be apart for 3 weeks, what some of the biggest emotional takeaways from this solo journey were, where she stayed, what she learned, some of her most PSYCHIC moments, RAW FOOD (of course), and she paints the scene for us of the Bali lifestyle.   As always it’s fun to have Jonathan on to dive a little deeper into their relationship and how it is for them to be reunited (albeit briefly, before Jordan’s water fast) a

Jordan chats with Jeroen De Wit, an absolutely amazing lightworker, healer, and past life regressionist!! Jeroen practices Quantum Healing Hypnosis Technique, a hypnosis technique developed by renowned hypnotherapist Dolores Cannon. Instead of programming the conscious mind, this unique healing technique accesses the subconscious, or Higher Self, asking for its cooperation in order to heal specific aspects in a person's life.   Jeroen is also a central character of an amazing book that Jordan read in Bali called The Boy Who Knew Too Much: An Astounding True Story of a Young Boy's Past-Life Memories, which is now being turned into a MOVIE (yeah, it’s kind of a big deal)!   Tune in to listen and learn all about past-life regression therapy, the art of hypnosis, how hypnosis and regression can be used for healing, some of the crazy past-life stories and journeys Jeroen has facilitated, all about Jordan’s past-life explorations with Jeroen (spoiler alert: she also saw her current life as a young child - her subco

Jordan is coming at you today from the middle of the jungle, surrounded by monkeys and healing! That’s right, The Balanced Blonde is back in Bali!! But before we get into that, Jordan starts the podcast with something new: a group breathwork exercise!After we’re all more present, positive, and open, Jordan has a LOT to share about her trip: everything she’s experienced & felt in this magical healing oasis, what she’s been manifesting & calling into her life, the different things she’s been able to let go of, travelling alone as a woman, writing poetry, and the answers to some of the questions YOU all asked her on Instagram!! (If you have any questions for Jordan, you can ask her @thebalancedblonde!)   We’d like to thank our sponsor, HUM Nutrition! Jordan has been talking about them on the blog for YEARS because they help her feel amazing, and she wants you to know about them, too! HUM is an all-natural line of supplements, and their goal is to use science-based and clinical-backed nutrition as a tool

Jordan chats with Tero Isokauppila all about SHROOMS! The founder of Four Sigmatic, Tero shares with us all about the origin of his company. As a Finnish native, he first started Four Sigmatic in Finland, and the company has since been Stateside for all of 3 years. It has clearly blown up in that time frame because Tero’s company meets a genuine need in the market! Tero is a 13th generation family farmer and forager and was a student of both chemistry and nutrition- SUCH an interesting combination to prepare him for this business. His successful brand, which sells adaptogenic mushroom coffee and other delicious blends, is a powerhouse in the wellness world! In today’s episode, Jordan asks Tero all about his views on psychedelic mushrooms, to which he shares that people aren’t often educated on the fundamentals of these particular mushrooms, and that they’ve been part of our ancestors’ lives all across the globe for centuries. However, he shares there is still ongoing research to find health benefits for this

Jordan chats with Dr. Frank Lipman, one of the first + most well known functional and integrative medicine doctors! Originally from South Africa, Dr. Lipman immigrated to the United States in 1984. He founded the Eleven Eleven Wellness Center Center in 1992, where according to his website, “he combines the best of Western medicine and cutting edge nutritional science with age-old healing techniques from the East.” Dr. Lipman is an established author and also the founder of Be Well, an expanding lifestyle wellness brand he founded in 2010 to help people create, sustain, and lead healthier lives.   Dr. Lipman talks all about optimal health as an individual pursuit (aka what works for Jordan may not work for everyone!). This being said, he does concede that gluten is, in his expert opinion, unhealthy for everyone, and sugar will lead to excessive weight gain for many. Dr. Lipman also delves into the connection between gut health and brain health (stress, mood, depression, etc.). He continues to WOW us with obser

Jordan chats with her dear friends Krista Williams + Lindsey Simcik from Almost 30, an iTunes Top Ten Health Podcast (that lives in the top 200 overall!) for all things health, wellness, entrepreneurship, self-development, humor, and most importantly, HONESTY! In their live show, Lindsey and Krista share with our audience all about how they got involved in the wellness industry, and their “addiction” to feeling good! They delve into the origin of the Almost 30 brand, their dream guests for the pod, and everything in between!   Lindsey shares her experience dealing with vocal nodes and how speaking her truth on Almost 30 played a big role in clearing her throat chakra, which she believes expedited her healing journey! They detail the very best lessons they learned in their 30s, including ways to stay present and channel gratitude. Krista and Lindsey also tell us all about their favorite crystals!   The Almost 30 ladies reflect on life their 20s, “expanding moments,” how they learn from their ambitious friends

Jordan chats with one of the most beloved musicians in the yoga and spiritual space (and also worldwide, let’s be real), Trevor Hall, who is not only an incredibly talented artist but also a deeply tapped in human.   Trevor’s heartfelt responses to each and every question are a testament to how present he is as a person. We learned about his love of astrology and his Saturn Return journey in Episode 69 with Trevor & Jordan’s astrologer Debra Silverman. In this episode we dive deeper to learn about Trevor’s music, how he met the love of his life, the ups and downs of being a musician, how Mother Earth plays a role in all of his songs and all about his latest album The Fruitful Darkness.   We all have so much to learn from Trevor’s profound wisdom  and his connection to the earth. He is as high vibe as they come, and deeply authentic. The exact kind of soul on fire human we love to feature here. We also may or may not learn the stories behind all of Jordan’s favorite songs of Trevor’s as well as his most po

Jordan chats with Kundalini yoga pioneer Guru Jagat, a direct student of Yogi Bhajan (the man who brought Kundalini Yoga to the West), the founder of the world-renowned radiant RA MA Institute for Applied Yogic Science and Technology and the author of Invincible Living: The Power of Yoga, The Energy of Breath, and Other Tools for a Radiant Life.   Her book changed Jordan’s life, as did the practice of Kundalini. And through this conversation… we think your life will be changed too -- #nojoke. #exceptwedojokeinthisepisode, because Guru Jagat is hilarious. As Shaman Durek told us in last week’s episode, spirituality does NOT have to be serious and/or boring. Ever.   After meeting Yogi Bhajan in 2002, Guru Jagat was launched onto her path as a Kundalini yoga teacher. She has since emerged as a leading global figure helping to create, delineate, and refine the new feminine matriarchal archetype, sharing how we can use these ancient yogic technologies to step into our power and set our soul on fire. We know you w

Jordan has a very special episode to share with all of you today: a LIVE conversation and Q+A session with one of her favorite teachers, friends, and people in the world, Shaman Durek!! He is so full of wisdom and ancestral knowledge… it never stops blowing our minds! He answers so many powerful questions from audience members that we know will resonate deeply with all listening.   Before this conversation, Shaman Durek led a shamanic workshop and lead everyone in the audience through a session to open up their natural powers. It was a powerful, transformative experience... pretty much MAGIC!! We firmly believe that everyone in attendance was supposed to be there, just like you’re meant to be listening to the episode (if and when you do!) – because Shaman Durek’s answers to these questions will resonate with and help each and every one of us.   We’d also like to thank our newest sponsor, EverlyWell. EveryWell offers a variety of home health tests, for everything from food sensitivities to vitamin levels to wo

Jordan chats with her dear friend -- who you may recognize from Jordan’s BOOK -- Jamie Graber, the former owner of the renowned raw vegan restaurant Gingersnap’s Organic. Jamie has had a huge impact on Jordan’s life – she was the first person to lovingly tell Jordan that she didn’t look healthy while she was raw vegan. That conversation completely changed Jordan’s life, and now Jamie is helping others do the same. You can learn more about this story in Jordan’s book, Breaking Vegan.   Jamie made the incredibly brave decision to walk away from (and CLOSE) Gingersnaps to start her coaching business Organically, Jamie, where she works as a mind shifter, healer, reiki master, manifester, and coach. It took GUTS to leave a thriving restaurant and pursue her passion, but we are so grateful that she has stepped into her light to share her deepest gift with all of us… HEALING.   Kick back and enjoy this heart to heart conversation on all things manifesting, expanding, healing, moving on, letting go, having courage fr

In this episode Jordan chats with the amazing, intuitive and incredibly talented Human Design energy type Reader, Jenna Zoe. What does that mean? It basically means that your aura and your astrological makeup have a TYPE, and that is your Human Design. Not only do Jordan & Jenna hit it off as friends right off the bat in this episode… but they end up chatting for two hours about all things Human Design and aligning our soul with exactly who we are meant to be.   Jenna describes Human Design as the contract your soul makes with the Universe about who you came to be, what you came to do, and what karma you came to correct this lifetime around. She is able to interpret this energy so naturally, which is hands down a tribute to this career setting her soul on fire.   Human Design combines so many different schools of wisdom in one: the Hindu chakras, the Chinese iChing, conventional astrology and the kabbalistic Tree of Life – but the result is an entirely new system that’s here to realign you with exactly wh

Jordan chats with Robyn Youkilis, an expert in holistic digestive health and the author of two incredible gut health books, Go With Your Gut and the brand-new (as in THIS WEEK new!) Thin From Within.   Despite many mutual friends, Jordan and Robyn met while recording this ep… but you would never guess based on the energy in this episode (#FriendsAtFirstSight)!! Robyn has an AMAZING, intuitive ability to connect on a deep level with the people she’s talking to and working with, as you’ll see when she asks a few questions (and gets responses!) from Jordan’s body!   Robyn also answers all of Jordan’s questions about balancing the flora in our gut and just generally treating our tummies as best as possible, and then we dig into her new book. Jordan LOVES how Robyn is disrupting the conversation around being thin – because thin isn’t a dirty word, it’s simply a feeling from within! The feeling of LIGHTNESS and vibrancy. Robyn is empowering people to find their happiest, healthiest, and most vibrant sense of self,

Jordan chats with her acupuncturist, Dr. Kora MoraMarco, a Doctor of Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine (DAOM) and a board-certified California Licensed Acupuncturist with a passion for healthful living. From cupping to acupuncture to Traditional Chinese Medicine practices and herbs, Kara has helped Jordan SO MUCH over the past few months, so we’re going to explore why this ancient practice is still so beneficial today!   We have answered a lot of your Frequently Asked Questions about acupuncture and cupping here, and we hope this episode scratches the surface for you to learn more about this amazing healing modality. If you are in LA… booking Kara for acupuncture, cupping, or her new LOVE CUPPING (yes… cups in the shape of hearts on your back!) is a MUST. Tell her TBB sent you… because you know, #tbbmademedoit.   We are giving away a FREE love cupping session with Kara to those who rate and review the podcast on iTunes, subscribe, and also follow Kara (@dr.kara.aculand) on Instagram.

Jordan chats with Ruby Warrington, best-selling author, incredible writer, Now-Age explorer, and all around soul on fire human. A few years back, Ruby left what she perceived to be her dream job at The Sunday Times to start her digital magazine on all things mystical & woo-woo, The Numinous. I know so many of us can relate to the journey of taking that scary LEAP into the unknown! Ruby is the author of an incredibly inspiring book that totally changed Jordan’s life: Material Girl, Mystical World: The Now Age Guide to a High-Vibe Life. On top of all that amazingness, Ruby and Biet Simkin (last week’s incredible guest) Co-Founded Club SÖDA, the sober-curious event series in New York City!   Ruby is generous enough to give away three copies of Material Girl, Mystical World!! If you want a chance to win a copy: Follow Ruby on Instagram: @the_numinous Subscribe to The Balanced Blonde podcast Rate the podcast on iTunes (or wherever you get podcasts) and email a screenshot to jordan@thebalancedblonde.com   Jo

Jordan chats with the amazing spiritual teacher, coach and author Biet Simkin, Founder of Center of the Cyclone, teacher of The Fourth Way method of healing, planetary enneagrams, and so much more. Biet immerses audiences in meditations that fuse art, fashion, and a sexy rock ‘n’ roll edge into seamless, explosive experiences – she even scores her meditation experiences with beautiful original music!! She has an incredible (and crazy) story, which stretches from being raised by a shaman to signing with Sony Records at the age of 19 to becoming a drug addict and far, far beyond.   We’d like to thank Allison Schaaf & PrepDish for sponsoring this week’s episode! PrepDish is an amazing meal planning service that makes eating healthy way easier, including gluten-free, dairy-free, and paleo options. They also offer an archive of incredible meal prep ideas, which is AMAZING for people like us who are always moving and on the go. Allison is kind enough to offer The Balanced Blonde listeners a two-week trial of Pr

Jordan chats with her dear friend Nicole Cogan, Founder & CEO of NOBREAD, about everything from their rapidly changing lives to their vastly differing spiritual philosophies to attempting to move away from labels to how much Vanderpump Rules rules. She brings so much lightness and so many high vibes, so we know you’ll adore this episode! If you want even more Nicole, check out our last conversation in Episode 44, which is all about how she built the awesome NOBREAD brand.   We’d also like to thank our sponsor, HUM Nutrition! Jordan has been talking about them on the blog for a REALLY long time because she uses them all the time, and she wants you to know about them too! HUM is an all-natural line of supplements, and their goal is to use science-based and clinical-backed nutrition as a tool for helping people feel amazing. We love how they focus on inner beauty, and holistically approaching outer beauty concerns from within! When you go to HUMNutrition.com, don’t forget to use the discount code SOUL at che

You are in for a magical treat today because Jordan is chatting with the watery earth goddess Allie Michelle, a fellow podcaster and beautiful poet. Allie is a deeply spiritual being and exceptionally in tune with herself (she is a living, breathing, walking, talking Buddha), and we couldn’t possibly love her any more! We chat about the journey that brought Allie from LA to Hawaii, learning to be okay with & love herself, and her upcoming poetry book. Allie even releases the name of the book during this podcast, Explorations of a Cosmic Soul, which will be available on January 31, 2018!!   We’d like to thank Four Sigmatic because they are Jordan’s LIFE SAVER as she quits drinking coffee. These magical, medicinal mushrooms are a big food health trend right now (#OnShrooms), probably because they’re packed full of adaptogens, superfoods, and other things that are super good for you! Four Sigmatic uses a variety of functional mushrooms that can promote immunity, energy, longevity, stimulation, and even sleep
