Jordan is a multi-passionate and creative individual, and she is also pregnant! We chat about Jordan’s experience with pregnancy and how each trimester felt uniquely important in the process of shifting into the identity of “mother.” Jordan opens up about navigating her ambition and giving herself grace. We also discuss pregnancy as a metaphor for the creative process!
Jordan is a tech founder, venture advisor, and multi passionate creator with a platform, Everyday Innovation, made to connect creator-entrepreneurs that value high- signal venture and self-development resources, connection, and strategy (mixed in with a little fun). She loves to create and curate knowledge that bridges across industries and areas of life and brings her years of experience as an entrepreneur, techie creative strategist, and startup community educator into both her public and client work.
