The Balanced Blonde // Soul On Fire

As a Canadian native and Cornell University graduate working for a venture-backed hyper growth tech startup in both San Francisco and New York City, everything seemed great on paper. Yet, beneath the surface, Meghan found herself feeling disconnected, lethargic, lonely, anxious, low energy, and out of alignment with herself. The fast-paced corporate life left her seeking a deeper sense of purpose and meaning.After graduating from college in 2013, her journey towards true healing began after a series of life-changing encounters with a naturopath. Determined to reclaim her health, she immersed herself in holistic practices and transformed her body and mind through food/eating, cleansing, movement, mental/emotional well-being, and spiritual growth. Every free moment she had was spent studying and practicing holistic health and healing, guided by master teachers, books, events, podcasts, and really anything that she could get my hands on. This still holds true today.Today we are diving deep into Meghan’s methods, her approach to health and wellbeing, her beliefs on detox, her thoughts (and Jordan’s!) on protein consumption and diet for women, and so much more.

There comes a moment in every healing journey where you realize: you can’t keep betraying yourself just to be liked. That’s what I was doing for YEARS. In this episode, I’m diving deep into the one shift that changed absolutely everything for me — boundaries, baby. The spiritual art of not giving a f*ck. From letting go of toxic friendships to choosing peace over saying yes to all of the people/friendships/things that no longer served me, I share what it really looks like to stop abandoning yourself and start living in full energetic integrity. As a born & raised people pleaser, this shift has been HUGE.I share personal stories throughout & we talk about the nervous system science behind people-pleasing, the spiritual truth about self-respect, and the raw, unfiltered moments that got me here. If you’ve ever felt guilty for saying no, terrified to disappoint someone, or addicted to being the “nice one,” this episode is your permission slip to rewrite the rules. You came here to be free, not palatable — and your soul knows it.MY MERCH: https://shop.dearmedia.com/collections/the-balanced-blondeMy Substack: https://thebalancedblonde.substack.com.

This updated conversation with one of my best friends in the world, my angel bestie who officiated our wedding, the one who has healed all of us in so many ways and then some, Kelsey Patel, is SO special. Kelsey was last on the show several years ago—and was first on the show in 2017! She has been taking a long hiatus from social media and work as she has stepped into motherhood, and she has overcome so much. We have both been through such anxiety & pain journeys, and today Kelsey shares so candidly and openly.This conversation will rock your world and change your life. Follow @kelseyjpatel on IG for the daily, and check out her website, her app, and all the magic that is to come on all of her platforms. <3 SO grateful for her being so open with us today.

In today’s episode, I’m joined by the radiant Rachel Katzman—founder of the innovative functional fitness method, Pvolve, and a fellow chronic illness warrior who has walked the Lyme healing path. This is a fun and empowering conversation about listening to your body, moving with intention, and finding strength through softness. If you've ever felt like traditional fitness didn't work for your body, or that healing requires a more nuanced, feminine approach—this one's for you.Rachel shares the story behind Pvolve’s creation, how it was born out of her own desire for a smarter, more functional form of movement, and how it ultimately helped her rebuild trust with her body after being knocked down by chronic illness. We talk about the power of intuitive movement, nervous system regulation through fitness, and the importance of honoring the season your body is in—especially when you’re recovering from something as life-altering as Lyme disease. Spoiler: You don’t have to push harder to feel better. Sometimes, healing means doing less—but doing it with deep, loving presence.We also dive into lifestyle shifts, morning rituals, and how Rachel is redefining what success and wellness look like on the other side of illness. Whether you’re navigating your own health journey, rethinking your relationship to exercise, this one is for you!Also, be sure to enter our GIVEAWAY—details in the episode! MY MERCH: https://shop.dearmedia.com/collections/the-balanced-blondeMy Substack: https://thebalancedblonde.substack.com.
