SHE with Jordan Lee Dooley: Recent Episodes
Jordan Lee Dooley
Pull up a seat and get ready to step into the woman you’re about to become. Join alongside National Bestselling Author, Jordan Lee Dooley, for this workshop-style podcast uniquely designed to help working women (like you!) steward your home, health, and work well – whatever your work looks like in this season. Each week, you’ll walk away with implementable steps to improve your everyday life as an ambitious woman. From cultivating a home to managing money well, women’s health to clean living, time management to goal setting, we cover it. Rooted in faith, inspired by Proverbs 31, and jam-packed with practical takeaways, each episode will inspire and equip you to pursue your dreams while prioritizing the most important things, or as J likes to say, “own your everyday.” Come invited, leave ignited.
Jordan sits down with Nate Graville, founder of Geviti, a longevity-focused health tech platform pioneering a shift from reactive, symptom-based healthcare to proactive, data-driven health optimization, to ask all the hard questions regarding functional health: Where do you source your supplements? How do you use AI? What makes this different from everything else out there? The conversation is for anyone ready to take a more proactive approach to their health.
What You'll Learn
- The personal loss that led Nate to build Geviti and why it changed everything about how he thinks about healthcare
- Why "normal range" and "optimal range" are not the same thing and why that difference matters
- The exact biomarkers every woman should check 6–12 months before trying to conceive
- What a complete thyroid panel actually looks like and why postpartum exhaustion might be more than just "new mom tired"
- How Geviti pairs AI with a real human care team to build a personalized longevity blueprint for you
- Why at-home blood draws are a total game changer for busy moms and women on the go
- What medical gaslighting actually looks like and how to stop tolerating it

Kids are naturally curious, and asking questions is an important part of healthy development but that doesn't always make those conversations easy. Even the thought of talking to your kids about sex can feel terrifying because perhaps you don't have great memories of "the talk" with your own parents or maybe it never happened at all. For many parents, it's one of the most dreaded parts of parenting… but it doesn’t have to be!
In this episode, Jordan sits down with Megan and Mary Flo of Birds & Bees for an honest, empowering, and refreshingly practical conversation about how to ditch "the talk" for good and replace it with something so much better – a lifetime of open, shame-free, age-appropriate conversations rooted in your voice and your values.
What You'll Learn:
- Why "the talk" is ineffective and what the “drip, drip, drip” method looks like in real life
- How to become the safe place your child brings their questions to (before anyone else does)
- What to say when your child asks a question that catches you completely off guard
- How to respond calmly and matter-of-factly to body questions without creating shame
- How to establish clear body safety rules in your home early and often
- What to do if you feel like you've already missed the window or messed it up
- How to get on the same page as your partner (and set boundaries with grandparents and caregivers)
- The powerful phrase "by God's design" and how it takes the pressure off you as the parent

Have you been discouraged in your wellness journey? Maybe you feel like you're putting in a lot of effort, but not seeing the progress you hoped for.
Or maybe you feel like there's a million more things you should be doing in your health journey.
Perhaps you're so worried about achieving "perfect health" that you're stressed out and haven't been able to rest and enjoy your time (by the way, perfect health doesn't exist).
In a world where there's so much new information all the time - new trends, new studies, and new fad diets - sometimes it's important to go back to the basics and steward your body by focusing on nourishment, rest, and joy instead of trying to keep up with all of the latest biohacks.

Our medical system recommends pap smears as preventative screenings but when a woman wants to have a baby, the medical approach is "Give it a whirl. We'll see what happens."

But what if we took proactive steps to advocate for our health and did some simple tests before getting pregnant or experiencing fertility issues?
In this episode, Jordan shares what she wishes she had known before trying to conceive and what tests she would have done before getting pregnant.
Tune in to learn:
- Why testing often isn't done until a woman has experienced multiple miscarriages or infertility
- The value of taking a proactive approach towards fertility
- What basic tests you can do before starting your fertility journey

- How to request your own labs online
- The importance of finding the right provider

Have you ever heard the phrase "don't let your emotions get the best of you"? While it may feel more comfortable to try and stuff our feelings away and push through, what would it look like to actually feel our emotions and find healing?
We could all probably agree that it's easier said than done! Feeling your feelings can be extremely uncomfortable.
But feelings aren't something to fix. God designed us with emotions and as we discover how to name and navigate those emotions, we’ll learn how they can draw us closer to God.
In this episode, Jordan talks with bestselling author and national speaker Jennie Allen about how to untangle your emotions and draw nearer to God in the process.
Tune in to learn:
- What “revved-up reactions” are and what we can do to regulate our emotions
- Why grief isn't linear and why we can't put it in a formula
- What the Bible says about denying our emotions and what God says to us about our emotions
- The importance of feeling our feelings instead of fixing them
- How learning about your feelings can impact your parenting

If you went to a cardiologist and complained of chest pain, you likely wouldn't be satisfied if they gave you a painkiller and sent you on your way. The doctor would be treating the symptom, but not addressing the underlying disease causing it.

So what does it look like to take a disease-based approach to infertility? What kinds of tests and treatments can be done to get to the bottom of infertility issues?
In this episode, Jordan talks with Dr. Christopher Stroud, an OBGYN who uses NaProTechnology to address infertility issues. Together, they discuss what it looks like to take a root cause approach to infertility.
Tune in to learn:
- What NaProTechnology is and how it differs from other approaches to infertility and women's health
- What it means to take a disease-based approach to infertility

For today's episode, we're bringing back a fan favorite! One of our most popular episodes from 2022, this episode explores the topic of metabolic health.
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

In a world with beautiful photos and Instagram posts, social media can often romanticize pregnancy and birth and create high expectations for what your experience will or should be like.
And while birth is a beautiful and miraculous thing, it can also be intense, uncertain, and scary - despite even our best efforts to prepare, educate, and advocate.
Whether your birth went exactly as you dreamed it would, or your birth plans were thrown out the window, every birth is a miracle and your birth story holds its own unique beauty.
In this episode, Jordan shares her story of giving birth to her son, Shepherd, and talks about how she navigated a birth experience that didn't align with what she had originally imagined, but ultimately brought her the best blessing.
After walking through multiple pregnancy losses, and through the fear of this pregnancy being yet another loss, God was faithful and gave not only a healthy baby but TWO babies. 🌈🌈
Tune in to this episode to hear:
- How previous miscarriages affected her expectations for pregnancy and birth
- What Jordan did to educate herself about birth and advocate for herself in the hospital
- Ways she navigated decisions as unexpected challenges came up
- How she processed having a different birth experience than she had imagined
- What it was like to have two boys born in the same year
When a child is diagnosed with an oral restriction, such as a tongue tie, there is often a lot of pressure to get a frenectomy done as soon as possible.
Parents are told that if they don't do a frenectomy, their child will have issues down the road with breastfeeding, solids, sleep apnea, etc.
But many parents aren't given the time or resources to explore other options of care.
So the question is: what can be done holistically to help address oral restrictions and breastfeeding problems - whether it's instead of doing a frenectomy, or in addition to doing one?
This episode explores the answer to that question as Jordan speaks with Midline Revolution - a group that combines chiropractic care, myofascial cranial therapy, and lactation consultation to help mothers and babies navigate issues like oral restrictions and breastfeeding in the first year of life.
Together, they explore how to holistically treat tongue and lip ties.
Tune in to learn:
- What an oral restriction is
- Why a lot of medical advice is heavily focused on immediately doing a frenectomy and why might this not be the best first solution
- Holistic approaches to dealing with oral restrictions
- Why many people aren't getting the outcomes they want from a frenectomy
- How information overload is impacting motherhood and the decisions we make
- What can be done to holistically support someone who has already gotten a frenectomy

It's no secret that women in our society are on the go all the time - whether it’s because we’re working, transporting the kids to countless activities, taking care of the house, or doing countless other activities on our calendar.
The pressure to be productive has caused us to pursue hamster wheel lifestyles with little rest.
On top of it all, we're often told that if we want the best health or fitness, we should cut calories, do HIIT workouts, and try intermittent fasting (spoiler alert: these practices are based on research done on men, not women, and can be harmful to women's hormonal health).
But how does busyness and fitness affect our hormonal health? And how do our hormones change our mental health?
In this episode, Jordan talks with hormone expert Alisa Vitti about the connection between our cycles, hormones, nutrition, fitness, and mental health.
Tune in to this episode to learn:
- How the pressure to do it all and our busy schedules affect our hormonal health

Does your work matter for eternity?
Many people don’t believe so, or they think that the only time their work has eternal significance is when they are actively evangelizing.
But that’s not what the Bible says.
While sharing the Gospel is an essential part of being a Christian, the Great Commission and call to evangelize is not the only commission in the Bible.
And when we study the First Commission in the Bible, we begin to see just how valuable every part of our work is, whether it’s changing diapers as a stay-at-home mom, roasting coffee as a barista, or making financial decisions as an entrepreneur.
In this episode, Jordan talks with the author of “The Sacredness of Secular Work”, Jordan Raynor. Together they explore how our daily jobs have intrinsic and eternal value.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
- The difference between the instrumental and intrinsic value of our work
- The problems that arise when the Church makes the Great Commission the only commission
- What other commission(s) the Bible gives
- What the unabridged Gospel teaches us about the purpose we have in our work
- Why you don't have to work in ministry or a "Christian business" to have purpose
- The problem with the half-truth that “Earth is our temporary home” and how this affects how we view our work

So many women who face unplanned pregnancies feel like the church is the last place they can go to for help, whether they are afraid of being judged or they feel there will be no support for them.
While the church may be pro-life and has the power to have a huge impact, there has too often been a lack of practical, spiritual, and emotional support for abortion-vulnerable women.
As today’s guest says, “Pro-life is a stance. Pro-love is an action.”
So how can we as the church empower women with unplanned pregnancies? How can we give real help that allows them to choose life?
That’s what Jordan and podcast guest Amy Ford talk about in this episode.
Amy is the CEO of Embrace Grace, a ministry dedicated to equipping the church to provide support to women experiencing unexpected pregnancies.

In today’s society, “healthy eating” is often equated to eating more salads while cutting out gluten, dairy, and sugar.
But are these trends really helping to nourish our bodies or are they causing us to eat less nutrient-dense real foods and instead consume more heavily processed, man-made, fake foods?
As today’s guest says, “As a society, we’re eating more than ever before, but we’re starving on a cellular level.”
So how can we learn how to read food labels and identify foods stuffed with fillers, preservatives, and synthetic ingredients? And how can we incorporate more real foods into our diet that nourish our bodies on a deeper level?
That’s what this episode explores as Jordan talks with functional nutritionist Annika Duden. Together they talk about the fake foods infiltrating the standard American diet and why it’s so important to prioritize eating bioavailable and nutrient-dense whole foods instead.
This is a juicy one! So grab your headphones and tune in to learn:
- What the metabolism is and what it looks like to pursue a pro-metabolic way of eating
- What hyper-palatable foods are and how they’re causing us to be undernourished

Many of us want to be as healthy as we can to support our bodies to the best of our abilities - and one of the biggest ways we do that is by trying to choose healthier foods.
But sometimes even good intentions can lead to poor outcomes.
When trying to eat healthier, we may start to cut out whole food groups that we think are unhealthy.
And maybe in the pursuit of health, we even start limiting calories or restricting foods further, worrying that food intolerances may be affecting us.
Before we know it, our diet has become severely restricted. And with so much restriction, we may even start to develop a negative relationship with food, feeling stressed about our food choices and not being able to enjoy eating out.
The question becomes: at what point does eating healthy do more harm than good?
And how do we find the balance between choosing healthy options that nourish our body without being stressed or overly restrictive?
In this episode, Jordan talks with clinical nutritionist and functional medicine practitioner Dr. Lauryn Lax about when eating healthy actually causes harm.

If you haven’t heard, we recently welcomed our son into our family, who came into our lives in the most divine way.
I’ve been slow to share this news because over the last few years, I’ve really leaned into the beauty of maintaining privacy and boundaries with sacred things like this. So we’ve been taking time for just our family, soaking in these special moments, before inviting the whole world in.
But I think it’s time to share this story and we wanted to do so in a podcast episode to give it its proper space. A simple Instagram caption just wouldn’t do it justice.
A little backstory: back when we were engaged and had no idea what our family-building journey would look like, we agreed that we wanted to adopt one day. Adoption was always part of our family’s “plan,” we just didn’t know the timing. That said, adoption has never been a "Plan B" or a backup plan. It’s always been something we’ve felt called to — even before we began to struggle with recurrent pregnancy loss.
Then through our involvement with Safe Families, as well as through loss, we felt the Lord nudging us to open our hands and hearts to adoption early in our family-building journey. We felt God was asking us to open all the doors to building a family and to trust Him with the order of how it would all play out.
So, in January 2022, we started the adoption process and in January 2023, we were blessed to bring home our son, Noah.
We feel it’s important to share this story because it seems like all you ever hear is horror stories about adoption, but we truly had the most incredible experience from start to finish - and it’s important for those positive stories to be shared, too.
So tune in to this episode to learn:
- Why we chose to pursue adoption early in our family-building journey
- More about the adoption process
- The birth experience from our perspective
- Our answers to commonly asked questions
- The unexpected lessons God taught us along the way
Thank you for celebrating this miracle with us. Every life is a miracle but there’s something unique and special and gospel-centered about the miracle of adoption… and we are humbled and honored that God would invite us into parenthood in this most redemptive and beautiful way.
xo,
Jordan and Matt
How many times have you heard phrases like "you'll be fine," "don't cry," "everything happens for a reason," or "it could be worse"?
When working through difficult emotions or challenging circumstances like loss, breakups, illness, or family issues, it can be frustrating when we are urged to be more positive.
The truth is that even amid life’s challenges, we’re often pressured into being positive. We’re told to “look on the bright side” and be happy.
And sometimes we ourselves tend to be overly positive because we just want to fix a friend’s hurt and help them feel better.
While optimism is important and needed, there’s also something to be said for when positivity becomes toxic and prevents us from working through difficult emotions.
But how can you recognize the difference between toxic positivity and optimism? And how can you find other ways to work through negative emotions?
In this episode, Jordan talks with therapist and author Whitney Goodman about what toxic positivity looks like and how we can leave space for our real feelings.
Grab your headphones and tune in to this episode to learn:
- What toxic positivity is and what it’s not
- Why silencing negativity and difficult emotions doesn’t always work
- How to recognize if our positivity is toxic
- Ways to support someone going through a hard time
- How to complain and vent effectively / in a healthy way
- Ways to help your child regulate their emotions instead of resorting to toxic positivity

Have you ever heard the term EMFs (electromagnetic fields)?
Maybe you’ve heard that they can be dangerous to our health, but you’re unsure what you can do to protect against them.
Or perhaps you’ve heard a lot of big talk about them and even seen tons of products marketed to “block EMFs” but to be honest, you’re skeptical that it’s really an issue at all.
No matter which view you take, as more and more studies are done, and as technology continues to advance, chances are that you’ll continue to hear more about EMFs - and you’ll probably hear differing opinions on it.
But the question remains: how do they actually affect the human body and is there any research that will help us better understand this issue?
In this episode, Jordan talks with her brother, Nick Wawrzyniak, a certified EMF specialist, about EMFs and what the research is showing us.
He breaks everything down and answers all the questions you’ve had about the topic.
If you’re ready to truly understand this issue, then tune in to this episode to learn:

- Common side effects that EMFS can cause

Most weeks we have overwhelming to-do lists to get through and 50% of the time (okay, more like 95%), we still have dishes piled up in the sink, laundry left to fold, and no meals in the fridge.

Let’s be honest. Setting boundaries is no easy task. In fact, for many people, the thought of having to set a boundary can feel downright scary.
What if the other person doesn’t react well or refuses to follow the boundary you’ve set?
As Christians, it can be even more challenging to set boundaries because we worry that we are unloving or selfish, or that our boundaries will get in the way of our ability to serve others.
But never setting boundaries can easily lead to chaos, burnout, and unhealthy relationships.
So how can we love others well while still establishing important (and needed) boundaries in our relationships?
In this episode, Jordan talks with the head of Proverbs 31 Ministries and bestselling author Lysa TerKeurst about everything you need to know to set healthy boundaries as a Christian.
Tune in to learn:
- What healthy boundaries actually look like and when to use boundaries
- Why it’s unkind to NOT have boundaries

In our culture today, working out has often revolved around weight loss and how we look.
Instead of moving our bodies for enjoyment or for true health, we too often move our bodies as punishment for the piece of cake that we ate.

In this episode, Jordan talks with personal trainer and fitness educator Kaisa Keranen about why health is a feeling, not a look, and how we can joyfully incorporate movement into our lives.
Tune in to learn:

Have you ever found yourself saying yes to one commitment after the other only to end up being burnt out and resentful?
Maybe you said yes because you’re a helper and you want to serve others or maybe you didn’t want to hurt someone’s feelings.

Have you ever found yourself stuck between two extremes - between modern medicine and living a more holistic lifestyle?
Maybe you had a bad experience with a doctor and you began focusing on making lifestyle changes and using natural remedies. But now you feel guilty about the prospect of taking any medication or utilizing modern medicine in any capacity - even if it could be helpful.
Or perhaps you’re on the flip side and see natural medicine as a hoax. You utilize modern medicine but have ended up relying on medication as a bandaid rather than exploring root causes or practicing prevention.
In our society, it has become easy to sink into black-and-white thinking and demonize either modern medicine or holistic and natural approaches.
But maybe it’s time to ask if these two approaches really need to be mutually exclusive. What if there could be a healthy blend of both approaches?
In this episode, Jordan shares her thoughts and experience on blending modern medicine with more holistic approaches.
Whether you find yourself leaning towards a more holistic and natural healing approach or towards modern medical practices, this episode will help you explore the benefits of both - and the problem with black-and-white thinking.

And how do we go from being defensive and ready to persuade to having open and respectful conversations that explore each other’s ideas?

Have you ever felt like there are certain topics that are not openly talked about as Christians?
There are so many things happening in society and in our own lives and relationships that we often don’t know how to talk about.

So in this episode, Jordan has a candid conversation with author Blake Guichet about the conversations Christians feel like they can’t or shouldn’t have.

- What the Bible says about taking care of at-risk children and families

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.

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

- 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.

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.

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."

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.

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.

What are you supposed to do when you and your significant other are on different pages when it comes to personal growth? How do you navigate this? How can you respectfully encourage and support one another on your own journeys to growth while remaining united as a team?
Is it even possible?
To find out, Jordan asked Matt to join in on this episode, and together, they interviewed Gerard and Jessie of the Marriage is Funny podcast to dive deep into this topic.
In this episode of SHE, they two couples are serving up all sorts of relatable stories, helpful tools, and practical steps we can take toward growing together as couples -- even if we’re growing differently.
Tune in to learn:
- What to consider when pursuing personal development while doing life with another person (who may or may not be on the same page as you)
- How to respect and work through your different approaches to growth without losing sight of your own goals
- Ideas to align your mental, emotional, spiritual, and lifestyle goals as a couple (ie. addressing overlap and potential opposition with respect)
- And why setting up some “family rules” can actually help support the relationship
If you know that you and your S/O need to get on the same page, or at least find better ways to support one another in your individual journeys without growing apart as a couple, pour a glass and hit play. You won’t want to miss a second of this one!

“Am I doing this legally?” you wonder.
“Do I need to be doing something more official for Cheryl to pay me?”

Would you quit your job to run 30 Marathons, in 30 countries, before your 30th birthday all with the goal of raising money for organizations committed to empowering women?
Sounds like a pretty BIG step outside a comfort zone, huh?
Look, if 2020 has taught us ANYTHING, it's that we need to be willing to get outside of our comfort zone, learn, listen, and take steps to impact the world outside of our own personal bubble.
In this episode, Jordan talks with Liz Warner who did JUST that. Liz combined her passions of change-making and adventure and launched Run to Reach, an 18-month marathon fundraising campaign with the goal of running 30 marathons in 30 different countries before turning 30 in June of 2020 - aiming to raise $100,000 to support local, women-empowerment organizations in each country visited.
She ventured to far-reaching destinations, like through the central highlands of Afghanistan, across turquoise waters in Yemen, into the depths of small villages in Somalia, and up the rolling foothills of Mt. Everest.
Beyond the highlighted mission, her Run to Reach journey also tells the story of a woman who left a comfortable, yet unfulfilling job to embark on an adventure that would exhaust every ounce of her potential.
Through her stories, she's been intentional to not only give back but also use social media as a tool to expose people to cultures they may otherwise not be exposed to (Yemen, Afghanistan, etc.).
Tune in to learn how we can take first steps outside our comfort zone for the purpose of having a greater impact, and what that may look like in your life.

What can homemade soup teach us about starting a side-hustle?
A whole heckuva lot, actually.
Look, sometimes the options available to us aren’t the best options for us. Or maybe they’re just straight up not good for us.
What do we do? Do we settle for them or do we get creative, roll our sleeves up, and make something new from scratch?
We are in a time where so many of us are being dared to roll up our sleeves, get creative, and find other ways to get what we need rather than just being able follow the status quo.
In fact, one of the most commonly asked questions we receive is, "How do I start something from scratch? What if I have 0 experience doing this whole work from home thing, or don’t consider myself a business woman?”

Have you been trying to tap into your creativity or skills, and finding ways to make income with it, even if that’s just in your spare time?
Thought about freelancing or using your talents to make supplemental income on the side… only to let your nerves, or all that you don’t know, get the best of you?
It’s one thing to have a little dream, idea, or even straight up need for extra income… it’s another thing to actually take that first step into going for it!
It’s scary to put yourself out there and start doing something new, especially something that feels uncertain or risky...especially in a very volatile time like this!
We often hear it talked about like, “go big, or go home,” but Jordan just started small, from home, technically.
And she found that doesn’t have to be nearly as overwhelming as it seems.

Money woes can slow us down. If you don’t have clarity or plan when it comes to your finances, it’s common to feel stressed and overwhelmed.
The uncertainty coupled with the common, underlying need to “keep up with the Jones’” only makes matters worse.
But sometimes hearing how other people just like us have navigated getting out of debt and found financial freedom is the kick in the pants we need to pave our own way to total financial freedom.
On this episode of SHE, we’re diving into this with Debt-Free Living Enthusiast, Jessi Fearon, and tackling big important questions like:
- What are some mindsets to adopt to help us stick to a plan to getting out of debt?
- What are some practical steps we can take when we’re just getting started on our own journey to financial freedom?
- When growing a family and paying off debt simultaneously, what is the hardest sacrifice and how can we get through it?
- How can living debt-free change our spending habits long term?
Plus, Jessi serves up some great advice for those wanting to take ownership of their finances and attain a debt-free life but struggle with commitment.
Sister, there is no better time to take control of your finances than right now. When you know your numbers and have a plan to complete financial freedom, you won’t just feel confident – you’ll be empowered to make better decisions for your future, too.
Be Honest: Have you had to combat a lot of feelings of fear, confusion, and disappointment recently?
You're not the only one!
So many are feeling massive disappointment that has come as a result of the Coronavirus pandemic.
- Brides have had to cancel their weddings.
- College seniors won’t get to have their commencement ceremony.
- Athletes won’t get to finish out their seasons.
- People who relied on their jobs for a stable source of income have had that taken away.
It’s absolutely heartbreaking to see not only the number of cases and those affected by the illness but also the vast repercussions it has caused beyond the virus itself.
So, that’s what we’re tackling in this episode. We’re going to dive into facing disappointments... then we’re going to rally to find the courage, confidence, and class it takes to move forward when plans royally fall apart.
In weird and uncertain times, it can be tough to stay committed to your goals. As if we don't already overthink the things we hope to do, uncertain or difficult times can make it even harder not to give up!
So in this episode, Jordan called in an expert, a Clinical Neuropsychologist who literally wrote the book on helping people overcome self-sabotage, Dr. Judy Ho.
If you’re having a hard time staying committed to your dreams, goals, or ideas, hold the phone on giving up just a little longer, and tune into this episode to learn:
- How to find what triggers your self-sabotage
- Tools to understand the patterns to your thoughts
- Techniques to be more empowered and in control of your thoughts
- Steps you can take to get out of the spiral of self sabotage once it starts
- And more

Calling all mamas, soon-to-be mamas, and hopeful, someday mamas! This one’s for you!
If you have a little (or big) dream that’s either buried deep inside your heart or something you’re already trying to pursue, but feeling a little unsure of how to make it all work, it's common to feel overwhelmed, and even to put it off.
Or if you know that someday you want to be a mom but have a big career dreams and worry about how you’re going to be able to manage it all, you’re not the only one, sister.
And sometimes simply hearing from someone who's taken the first step and learning to navigate the journey can be enough to light a fire under us.
In this episode, Jordan sits down with friend, music artist, and mom of 3, Megan Duke.
Megan knows what it’s like to wear a lot of hats. Not only is she an amazing wife and mother of 3 littles but she’s also fearlessly and relentlessly pursuing her dream of being a music artist.
This episode really digs into how a woman CAN steward her gifts and passions in the middle of motherhood.
- The compromises and sacrifices that are made
- The day to day challenges that come with juggling it all really look like (and how to handle them well)
- How to create boundaries to guard the health of both your family life and careeR
- What it looks like to teach your kids to dream, too
- How building a great marriage fits into this whole equation
- 3 practical steps for any woman who wants to get started on her dreams in a busy season, too
So, whether you’re looking ahead feeling a little afraid of motherhood because you’re a big dreamer with massive career ambitions, or are already a mom and feeling that tug on your heart to go for your dreams but can’t quite figure out how to do that… you’ll want to soak in all the wisdom Megan offers in this episode. It’s honest, deep, and practical all at once.

We’ve all asked the question: What am I here for? Why am I here?
When life is busy, chaotic, or full, we might look at how we spend our time - our days, our weeks, and our months - and wonder if it is even aligned with the calling on our life.
So, in this episode, Jordan brought on Productivity Expert and Author of The Joy of Missing Out, Tonya Dalton, to give us the tools we need to clarify our purpose, or our “North Star,” as she calls it, so that we can prioritize building our days and weeks around what matters most.
Jordan and Tonya cover:
- Why it's not about doing more but about doing what’s most important.
- How to identify your North Star - your mission, vision, passions and core values - and create a life centered around it
- The tools we need to differentiate between saying, “yes!” out of obligation/guilt and saying “yes!” out of desire/want so that we can give better yeses
Tune into this episode to learn the productivity tools you need to clarify how to live your days so that you are focusing on what matters most, while still being able to get everything else done that needs to get done.

EVERY EXPERT WAS ONCE A BEGINNER.
Let that sink in. No, really, let it sink in until you believe it.
It is so essential to understand this one thing: NO ONE started out knowing what they were doing. No one who's built something successful began with a clue of what it would turn into. And no successful person has avoided embarrassing themselves or failure.
But the one key to success they all have in common?
They STARTED. They started small. They rolled up their sleeves and got scrappy.
They were willing to get uncomfortable and put themselves out there.
THIS willingness (not skill or fancy connections) is the one differentiating factor between those who reach their dreams and those who don't.

You may have heard the common phrase that says, "Done is better than perfect."
In many ways, it holds a lot of truth. When there's something on our hearts or minds to start or do, it is generally better to take action rather than waiting around until everything is perfect to get started. If we try to wait until everything is "perfect," we risk never actually taking action.
So, while the intent behind this phrase is good, and is generally true, in today's episode, Jordan challenges us to think about this a little bit more critically when it comes to our craft and our work.
Listen in as she shares how a not-so-great experience with the dentist challenged her to consider why applying the "done is better than perfect" mantra to all aspects of our work may not be wise, and a few key lessons we can all learn about the importance of diligence and excellence in our work, rather than rushed or careless action with the focus on simply getting things done.
