The Balanced Blonde // Soul On Fire

What a dream it was to have my dear friend Jeannette Aranda back on the show, a full six years after her first appearance on TBB (TO THE DAY — you cannot make it up), and for her third time chatting here on Soul on Fire. Today’s convo was extra special and vulnerable, because we are touching base after all that Jeannette has been through in the last year and a half.   I want to commend Jeannette on her wildly powerful healing journey, her strength for her boys, and her rock solid vulnerability with her audience and with us today on the podcast. I really feel it is not often that we come across people as authentic, confident and true to themselves as Jeannette and I feel honored that she was open to coming on the show to talk about her path forward, even though there are still such hard days.   I personally am so inspired by her on a daily basis, and not just as a friend but as an avid consumer of her content and a forever fan, I was super thankful to be on the mic with her. I adore this human and I hope that you all enjoy this raw conversation. Please forgive me for any “fuck him” content that I said (LOL), but someone had to say it… because she is a class act and would absolutely never! I love that about her.   Go follow her on @shutthekaleup, support her incredible collaborations and launches, and tell her what you thought of this episode. <3 We hope to have her back on again & again! And welcome to all of the STKU fans who made your way here for this ep!   AND WE ARE STILL HOSTING A GIVEAWAY !!

This episode was so fun, and the format was a total shock to me! Jonathan took the reins and got a handful of the most influential/interesting people in our lives to ask questions for me in this episode. It was along the lines of: “If you could ask Jordan ONE question, what would it be?!”   So in this episode with my husband being the killer host that he is, you will hear thought provoking (and fun, and sometimes hilarious!!) questions from everyone from Jenna Zoe, to Kenzie Burke, to my 82-year-old nanny (!!), Jesse McCartney, Trevor Hall, Khalil Rafati, my dad, Lauren & Michael Bosstick, Krista Ripma, my brother-in-law Adam, my starseed friend Chris, Lauren Roxburgh and more.    Each guest question stunned me more than the next, as Jonathan’s goal was to include an eclectic group of people that would surprise me!! I.e. not just my mom and my best friends. This is an incredible group of people that ranges from close friends and family to people that I deeply admire and do not know as well! So excited for you guys to tune in. Let us know on Instagram what YOUR favorite question from the episode was.   AND WE ARE HOSTING A GIVEAWAY !!

Today I am honored and thrilled to have my new friend, the phenomenal Dayna Kathan on the show! You likely know her from her time on Vanderpump Rules during Season 8 where she was a main cast member. We were connected by our dear mutual friend Courtney (shoutout!!) & I am SO glad we were because this conversation was destined to be.   What people likely do not know from seeing Dayna on television is that she is truly an empath, healer and a light worker. She has been diving deeper into her gifts, and she really blew me away. We kicked off this conversation by talking about mental health and our shared reality of anxiety, panic, hyper fixation, and beyond. We really dove right in!   We cover everything from Dayna opening up intuitively to paranormal experiences, her time on TV, and what she is doing now. Cannot wait to hear your thoughts!! And yes… we manifested this conversation, you guys! We have been talking about VPR x TBB crossovers *forever*!!!   We hope you love this episode and cannot wait to hear your feedback!

Today I am honored and thrilled to have the incredible functional medicine doctor & best-selling author Dr. Stephen Cabral on the show talking all things HEALING from autoimmune conditions and beyond. I love his empowering approach to healing dis-ease, heavy metals, mast cell issues, and the rest of the tricky mystery illnesses we deal with today.   I was also honored to do the testing with Dr. Cabral myself and get a comprehensive panel shared with me in this episode. As always, I hope it can help you find more healing in your life and find your own root causes of imbalances and pain!   Here are just a few topics we cover in today’s conversation:   The new model of health & disease How to address the root cause of health imbalances How to move beyond bloodwork and do at-home lab tests to find out what is really plaguing YOU vs. the guesswork of trying to figure it out by trial & error What is a hair analysis, anyway?!

Ahhh, I have been so excited to share this episode with you guys! Ever since I read Erin Falconer’s book How to Break Up With Your Friends, I knew she was a dream guest to have on the show. She is a therapist, best-selling author, a mother, and a wise human when it comes to all things boundaries and navigating friendships as an adult.   This episode isn’t just about how to break up with your friends, it is also about how to be a better friend. I learned such valuable information in Erin’s book about the science of friendship (and how important it is to our livelihood and wellbeing!), how long it takes to truly become someone’s friend, the difference between a friend and a best friend, and how many best friends we can successfully have without spreading ourselves way too thin — or just lying to ourselves!   Erin is the queen of navigating hard conversations, instilling boundaries, standing up for yourself in relationships and also auditing relationships to make sure they are still a good fit in the different ever-evolving stages of our lives. I have to say, this conversation is an absolute favorite of mine and one that I learned a TON from. I will be going back to this convo many times over… and taking notes!   Also… TBB MERCH IS HERE! The Celestial Club Collection has officially landed SO THRILLED! We have: 2 sweatshirts, a tote bag, and 3 mugs that are filled with inspiring phrases, cosmic vibes & high quality magic. I haven’t been this excited about a launch in so long. Enjoy, and hashtag #notfromhere on IG when yours arrives! YAY!   Also, check out my new revamped, relaunched BLOG at thebalancedblonde.com! We relaunched on Monday — we now have an interactive starseed quiz, a free guided meditation, a free guide to spiritual awakening, new blog posts, new sorted spots to find the pod episodes + best of the show, + so much more!!
