To kick off this new 7.0 ERA of the podcast, Jordan sits down with her best friend & soul family Kenzie Burke. They talk about timeline hops, synchronicities, conscious friendships, the magic of being in each other’s lives, where in the world Kenzie has been (because everyone wants to know!), and most of all – Kenzie’s emergence from the dark night of her own soul journey.

Can you believe it?! This is my final episode of 2021 and my final podcast before I become a mama! I will be taking some time off after this for the first time ever, and it will be so needed and so nourishing. I hope to inspire you to carve out the same space in your life. That is my main intention — to inspire others to live differently.  In this episode, I dive into your questions and wrap my head around everything that's built up to this exact moment (3rd trimester in "pre-labor" mode in bed). I explain why I'm taking time off to thoroughly soak up this sacred time bonding with my baby, ayurvedic takeaways from "The First Forty Days" (one of the few pregnancy books that I've read during this time), and my intentions as a mother (OMG, so many things). Aside from baby chat, I delve into love languages (can you guess mine?!), astral projections, plant medicine plans post-pregnancy, food combining, and all the juicy TBB stuff we love to talk about. I am so grateful to our Soul On Fire family for holding a safe

Jordan's dear friend Krista Williams takes a moment away from her own incredible podcast, Almost 30, to slip into an esoteric groove to talk about all things consciousness and community with the Soul on Fire fam. We touch on it all, from sixth-dimensional consciousness and The Law of One, to her evolving relationship with alcohol, and finding food freedom during a transformative trip to Ibiza where she sampled the Celestial Lifestyle for herself (the results are insane!). Shape shifting beyond!  As a self-identified wanderer, Krista left her "old" life in Ohio and manifested a soul-aligned community in Los Angeles and beyond, with Almost 30. Now, she's creating a book club and tarot deck while always unpacking the teachings from The Law of One, one of many spiritual texts that have profoundly affected her.  We talk ditching dieting to find what works for you, plant-based magic, living in the 6D, lessons from The Law of One, honeymoon manifestations, conscious friendship, deep awakening, the commitment to grow

If you can’t get enough memes on your timeline, then you’ll love this episode with author, poet, meme artist, and creative guide, James McCrae. You’ve probably already laughed and shared posts from his popular Instagram page, @wordsarevibrations, where he creates culturally relevant, thought-provoking, hilarious poems, and memes.  In this conversation, James opens up about how technology and spirituality support his creativity, where he strives to find the perfect balance of visuals and the written word. For James, the technology portal is not limited to our screen obsession. He shares his holistic and nature-integrated vision on how technology can build a better planet for the future.  We also dive into how James evolved his creative voice alongside his spiritual awakening, his healing with plant medicines, high vibrational arts, and so much more!! True to his brand, James’s words really do serve the highest vibrations, and his new book, “How to Laugh in Ironic Amusement During Your Existential Crisis,” pull

I recorded this solo episode in full cozy cocoon & nesting mode, resting in bed while we wait for baby Albrecht to arrive (OMG, I am 37 weeks!!) and soaking up the magic of the holiday season before I embark on maternity leave (details in this episode). I felt called to do another intimate Q&A and share everything I’ve learned and integrated during this process and how spirituality and healing have come full circle during my pregnancy. I dive into all the questions you sent over Instagram and talk about everything Soul on Fire, reflecting on my healing journey with Lyme, recent reflections on motherhood, giving birth, a spiritual deep dive, PLEIADIANS (of course), starseed magic, and the evolution of my brand -- and where it is headed. I love these solo check-ins with you, my soul fam, and I am eternally grateful for these five years we’ve shared thus far!  Thanks to Beekeeper’s Naturals for sponsoring this episode. The brand’s mission is to boost your immune system and help you build a medicine cabin

Trailblazing nutritionist, wellness entrepreneur, celeb nutrition guru, and spiritual powerhouse, Kimberly Snyder, is back on the show to discuss her newest, most soul-aligned book, "You Are More Than You Think You Are."   If you're already familiar with Kimberly's work – and her five incredible best-sellers – you may be surprised to find out this one deviates from food and is all about nourishing your soul, finding stillness in the in-between moments, and magnetizing what you want without resistance. Kimberly invites us to live in a world where we're not trapped in negative thought spirals or competing with everyone else on social media or living SMALL. Instead, her practical advice and thought exercises rooted in the ancient teachings of guru Paramahansa Yogananda, help you overcome fear blocks, tap into your inner warrior and get to a place where you can manifest your soul's wants beyond the ego.  She opens up about her process shifting into her most authentic expression, how strengthening her intuition le

Dr. Daniel Amen is one of America's leading psychiatrists and brain health experts, and someone Jordan happens to be obsessed with. He’s helped millions of people heal and optimize their brains, end mental illness, and live happier lives. A trailblazer in mental health, he has revolutionized how we address depression, anxiety, and stress. With 12 New York Times bestsellers under his belt, scores of celebrity patients (including Justin Beiber and Miley Cyrus), and millions of followers across social media, he's rightfully made his mark as "the most popular psychiatrist in America." Unlike most psychiatrists, Dr. Daniel Amen looks at the brain first and uses brain scans as a visual cue to explain self-sabotaging behaviors robbing us of true happiness. In this episode, Dr. Amen outlines specific steps to boost your mood with a brain care toolkit of diet and lifestyle habits. From feeding your brain the best diet (say yes to colorful fruits and veggies, no to alcohol, drugs, and fruit juice) to the mental exercis

Mel Robbins is a motivational powerhouse whose groundbreaking work on behavioral change has impacted millions. Her internationally best-selling books, “The Five Second Rule” and “The High 5 Habit,” empower people to flip their lives around through simple, science-backed actions. I mean, you probably already know who she is if we had to guess!! She is massive on social media and beyond. Mel is a living testament that these tools work. Ten years ago, she was unemployed, crippled by anxiety and $800,000 debt. Initially, counting down from five was the only thing to get out of bed in the morning. This practice would later evolve into “The Five Second Rule,” which became the first step toward her becoming the most booked speaker in the world and changing the lives of so many who apply the rule to address issues in all aspects of their lives. Jordan shares that she’s among those touched, having first discovered Mel’s work while in the throes of a panic attack a few years ago.  In this deep and stimulating conversat

This week’s guest, Kristen Schwartz from @realizedempath, guides empaths and highly sensitive people (HSP’s) with tools to feel safe, secure, and seen in an overstimulated world that often deems sensitivity as a weakness. You guys know how I feel about sensitivity -- it is actually a superpower! And we get into that in this conversation.  Kristen has created a beautiful platform that articulates what so many of us feel but perhaps have not found the words to express. The good news is that we are not alone! There are so many empaths and highly sensitive people in the world, and this personality type is often linked to deep intuition and those who are seers, psychics, creatives, healers, coaches, and beyond. Kristen outlines a roadmap that allows us to clear out the emotional debris, own your truth and harness your sensitivity as a superpower.  Kristen has been there. Six years ago, a dark night of the soul pushed her edge. She went inward, strengthened her internal trust muscle, set strict boundaries, and tran

You probably recognize Emily DiDonato from your favorite magazines, brand campaigns, or from her incredible social media presence where she has 2.3M followers on Instagram alone! In this fun and fascinating conversation, you’ll get to know the Emily beyond the highlight reel as she chats with Jordan about the realness of pregnancy, the highs and lows of modeling, and the backstory behind her new clean skincare brand, Covey. In a few short weeks, Emily went from your average teen to shooting for Ralph Lauren and picked to be the face of Maybelline! Over the past decade, she has walked international fashion shows, jetted all over the world, and graced the covers of Vogue and Sports Illustratrated. Along the way, she tried just about every beauty product and routine in the book, which inspired her to create the skincare brand Covey. She unpacks her journey, from taking the leap to move to Manhattan alone to forge her modeling career, to the three-year process to birth Covey out into the world and how it feels to

Happy Libra season to all of our amazing listeners! Birthdays are a beautiful time to hold space for how much we’ve grown and elevated into wiser versions of ourselves. So I thought I'd celebrate my 31st trip around the sun with a special birthday tradition I have been doing on my blog for years now- but this is the first time I’ve brought it to the podcast. 31 things I’ve learned in 31 years! Writing this list, recording this episode, and connecting to the spiritual teachers who have supported me on this path, have reflected back to me how much I've evolved from the person I was in my early 20s. For the OG TBB fam out there, you've seen me go from a hyper-career focused, people-pleaser, non-vegan, so sick with Lyme, depleted human looking for love, to a celestial, plant-based, eternal soul who has healed her mind, body, and spirit and has so much love in her life.  It's been a HUGE change, and this episode is really my opportunity to speak to you – and my younger self – about the internal shifts, habits, and

Podcaster, health coach, and Jordan’s pregnancy twin, Chelsey Jade Curtis, comes on the show for a girly get-together to chat about plant-based pregnancy, professional growth in the not-always-so-friendly public sphere, and recovery from disordered eating.  There are so many juicy nuggets for everyone to feel inspired by, from Chelsea’s journey to becoming a podcaster, dealing with public criticism, and how she integrated her shadow, to her painful struggle with disordered eating, path to healing, and how IIN health coach training galvanized her passion for nutrition, science, and psychology.  Of course, there are LOTS of pregnancy parallels to dive into. Chelsey opens up about letting go of perfectionism to trust her body – even when it’s calling for IHOP pancakes and her  intentions were to only eat clean. She and Jordan also bond over their plant-based pregnancy experiences, and dealing with “mommy police” opinions on diet, restrictions, and animal protein myths. Plus: imagining how this Christmas will loo

The last time Jonathan was on the show, we shared, for the first time with you guys, that we are having a baby!! Now that I’m inching toward my third trimester (one more week, WHAT?), we thought it would be fun to have him back on and give you a mega update about what’s been going on behind closed doors, answer questions you sent over IG, and share some exciting news about TBB while I’m on my maternity leave!  Tune in to hear how Jonathan has been handling my hormonal pregnancy mood swings (lol), brain fog, and generally being the world’s best support system while my body is in lots of physical pain, and my hormones are through the roof. You’ll learn about fatherhood plans from his perspective (lots of yoga and matching outfits!) and what creating a spiritual household signifies for him. Baby Albrecht has brought us closer in so many ways, and we chat about the different ways we’re nesting (nursery decorating, house hunting – all so exciting), and how our romantic relationship has evolved during this time. We

Lately, it’s felt like my emotional self has been in a washing machine. I’ve had so many profound realizations and downloads come to the surface. I feel so fortunate to have this safe container to share my feelings and perspectives of everything that is going on in and around my life!  Where do I begin?! Well, I am just about to enter my 3rd trimester and have been connecting to this ancient soul growing inside me, and navigating some of the not-so-fun physical sides of things (more on that in the episode). I have just returned from a transformative, soul-filling escape in Kauai, where I literally purged every emotion possible, and sat with intense feelings of self-worth, career, and purpose here on Earth, and how that manifests in my message within TBB.  YES, we get into the next phase of TBB all the way!! And we talk cancel / call out culture. You’ll have to tune in to hear the rest :) – but I can’t wait to embark on this journey with you all!  Thanks to Organifi for sponsoring this episode. Jordan is such

Meet yogi, writer, Lyme-survivor, vegan, podcaster, and spiritual seeker Kayla Nielson. She's Jordan's soul twin in freakishly synchronistic ways (right down to hometown and magic numbers!), and this conversation touches on all the topics near and dear to TBB.  After growing up in Sacramento, California, and majoring in English (sound familiar?), Kayla hit a wall with party culture and an abusive relationship that culminated in a near-death experience: the first of two she would have that year. She found solace traveling to far-flung destinations outside of her comfort zone and became rooted in cultivating her yoga practice (she started taking classes at 12)! African tick bite fever stopped Kayla in her tracks while in Africa and sent her down a long and painful path of detoxing her body and soul through spirituality, nourishment, and plant medicine.  If you thought Kayla expressed herself beautifully in words online, wait until you hear her incredibly inspiring pain-to-purpose story on this episode. Kayla op

Nicholas Bruss is an integrative psychotherapist who was instrumental to Jordan's mental health growth and healing from 2015 to around 2018. Since working together, he's evolved his traditional practice to become a researcher, advocate, and specialist in the field of psychedelic-assisted therapy, a topic close to Jordan's heart.  This episode goes beyond the anecdotal reflections of psychedelic experiences and deep dives into the science and current research surrounding psychedelics as medicinal tools. Nicolas Bruss is a member of MAPS (Multidisciplinary Association for Psychedelic Studies) and the founder of The Psychedelic Coalition. Both groups are committed to eliminating the stigma attached to "drugs," such as ketamine and MDMA, by advocating for their health benefits with solid research. It's fascinating to learn more about how the legalization process is progressing for MDMA, which is on the cusp of being FDA approved to treat PTSD. If you have burning questions on psychedelic therapies, this episode d

Founder and CEO of Beekeeper’s Naturals, Carly Stein,  joins Jordan to talk about her lifelong passion for bees, business, and how she has carved a thriving, sustainable company built on the medicinal powers of the beehive.  Carly suffered chronic tonsillitis and allergies that plagued her adolescence until she stumbled upon a tincture of bee propolis in Italy. The discovery led her down a rabbit hole of research and creating bee products in her studio apartment’s makeshift lab. After spending years as an amateur alchemist and bee advocate, she gained the courage to leave her finance job at Goldman Sachs in New York to begin her own business adventure. Carly’s created a magical formula for her business based on sustainability and bee advocacy (we owe a lot to these fuzzy, black and yellow creatures!) and a unique CEO personality to match. At heart, she’s a creative soul whose version of what it means to be a girl boss strays from the norm. In this episode, you’ll learn what lights her up as a creator, and the

Author and speaker, Ashley Lemieux, has empowered thousands of women to find purpose in their pain by reframing their mindset through the darkest moments of their life.  Ashley’s motherhood journey is one of immense pain, loss, and, ultimately, hope, after losing her two adopted children in an emotionally exhausting court battle that left her and her husband scrambling to find their way back to each other again. Last year, after making the conscious decision to grow their family, health challenges resulted in another tragic loss that she so openly and bravely discusses on the show. Silver linings are impossible to find in such moments, but Ashley’s realization that escaping the pain made things worse invited her to work through it rather than around it. Clarity mapping, intentional meditation, and releasing stringent timelines have allowed her to find joy in her life and partnership again.  In times of shrinking solitude, Ashley Lemieux transformed her anguish to art, creating a community for people to feel s
