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 space for me to be my true, woo woo self. I love you all so much. Thank you for sending your questions, well wishes, and love and light. I can't believe that the next time I'm on the mic, there will be this magical baby boy by my side!  Thanks to Art of Tea for sponsoring this episode.

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 growing deeper everyday, and so much more. This is a good one, deep and juicy beyond.  If you've been calling in deeper connections in your life, then this conversation – filled with relatable advice, inspirational quotes, and teachings – is a reminder that you're not alone on your journey.  Thanks to Beekeeper’s Naturals for sponsoring this episode.

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,” pulls off the impossible feat of meeting us where we’re at while also inviting us to reimagine a new direction.  Thanks to Art of Tea for sponsoring this episode.

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.

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 led to career breakthroughs, sacred partnership, and so much more! It’s also a candid chat between two dear friends… Jordan cannot help but see Kim’s face shape shifting throughout the episode!!  This very special book and chat gives you the spiritual roadmap to tap into your own inner warrior and create the success, joy, and fulfillment that's awaiting you. We can’t wait for you to listen!  Thank you to Art of Tea for sponsoring this episode.

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 exercises that train you to be happy and achieve your goals. Plus, discover how your brain type dictates what makes you happy and how to cultivate micro-moments into your routine to increase your overall happiness.  There is nowhere in school where they teach you to question your own thoughts, so many of us overlook – or ignore – the red flags for brain health. Dr. Daniel is rewriting the rulebook to help replace behavioral addictions with empowering strategies to think and act smarter to better our brains and be happier people, achieving our goals and bringing them to life.

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 conversation, Mel gets candid on her professional and personal downward spiral in 2020, which saw her get fired from her dream job and threaten the future of the business empire she spent a decade building. She shares how high-fiving herself in the mirror gave her the strength to love herself through her rock bottom and the fascinating science behind the simple gesture that helps you become your own self-advocate.  Plus, you’ll hear the magic of Mel’s motivational wisdom in real-time as she helps Jordan make a call on an important decision (or two or three!!).  There is so much wisdom and tools for anyone out there suffering from anxiety or a lifestyle rut. But if you walk away from this conversation with anything, let it be that you have the power to be your own cheerleader and celebrate yourself, wherever you are in your journey.  Thanks to Obé Fitness for sponsoring this episode.

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 transcended from tragedy to triumph. Now she’s a shining light for others and has birthed her first book: The Healed Empath.  Her blend of psychology, science, and a dash of magic is guaranteed to inspire you to create space in your life for better boundaries, energy protection, and the emotional freedom to shine as YOU!

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 be the boss and content creator of her own brand and message. With motherhood on the horizon for both Jordan and Emily (they’re due three weeks apart from one another!), the conversation takes an inevitable turn to pregnancy -- and specifically, the realness of pregnancy. Emily reveals how she found out she was pregnant, the rituals getting her by (yoga, cold foods, and laying low), and the harsh realities of being constantly judged on her appearance online. We hope this conversation sparks excitement and joy and inspiration all around! Thanks to Obé Fitness for sponsoring this episode.
