The Balanced Blonde // Soul On Fire

Ryan Holiday is an incredibly accomplished author of many best selling books that Jordan is a diehard fan of. Jordan has loved his work for a long time, having read all of his books, and it’s an inspiration to hear his story and share it on the podcast! He’s authored several best-selling books — “The Obstacle is the Way,” “Ego is the Enemy,” and “Stillness is the Key” — his newest book is “Lives of the Stoics.” He has such an effective, productive daily routine and he’s so efficient in his work, which he shares with all of us. Ryan is also a student and teacher of Stoic philosophy, so it was great to talk to him during such a pivotal moment in the world. He talks about how history repeats itself, and how we are not the only people to have been in this position. We have so much to learn from studying the great teachers of the past. Ryan’s books have changed the lives of so many people, and this conversation has the power to change yours as well. We also get into fun rapid fires with Ryan and learn more about his life behind the scenes!  Thank you, Four Sigmatic, for sponsoring this episode!

In the convo they get into everything from starting a business, working with friends and significant others, intermittent fasting, her history with orthorexia, how Human Design influences leading her team, shape shifting magic, and more. She even has the chance to toss some great questions back to Jordan! To celebrate four years of the podcast, Jordan is doing a giveaway!

Jordan manifested this one from the get go! Trevor Hall is a talented musician who Jordan has been a fan of since she was 14 (!!), and he is clearly tapped into something deeper in the universe. His music is pure medicine. They are joined in their convo by his beautiful wife Emory Hall, who was featured on Trevor’s latest album! She is an incredible photographer and writer with the voice of an angel… and it was so fun for the 3 of them to chat and go deep.  In this fun conversation, they talk all about the creative process, human design, dealing with everything going on in the world right now, and what it’s like to release an album in the midst of that. They go deep on what Trevor loves most about his latest album, who inspires them, how the pandemic has been, creativity, and so much more. These two are such a joy and feel right at home in The Balanced Blonde family! We have a brand new sponsor, Olipop! Olipop is a healthy soda that is so delicious, so good, and so healthy.

Jordan is celebrating her 30th birthday! With that milestone, she wanted to share all of the things she’s learned in her 20’s, all of the things that are no longer serving her that she plans to leave behind, the spiritual awakening she experienced in her 20’s, and to celebrate all those 1990 Libra babies! Time is just an illusion and age is just a number, so whether you’re younger or older, you’ll find something to relate to what Jordan is sharing.

Jesse Golden is the perfect guest for the 200th episode of The Balanced Blonde podcast! She is just a phenomenal human, a mom, a podcast host, a blogger, and the creator of The Golden Secrets skincare and lifestyle brand and blog — and she’s THRIVING with rheumatoid arthritis. Jordan is inspired by her to no end. They both choose to look at their illness as a gift, while still acknowledging that it’s very hard existing and living with it. Jesse dives into how she discovered dance and yoga, the lessons she has learned from being diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis, and the art of listening to your body. She GLOWS inside and out. She also discusses the healers in the spiritual realm that she has turned to that have helped her through her healing process. The girls get into love, workouts, spirituality, Starseeds, motherhood and beyond. We are so excited for you to listen and be inspired. Athletic Greens is the daily greens powder that Jordan is OBSESSED with. She starts her morning with some green juice every day, and when she’s not making her celery juice she’s using Athletic Greens. It’s full of 75 vitamins, minerals, and whole food-sourced ingredients. When you show athleticgreens.com/blonde, you receive a free vitamin D and K2 wellness bundle with your first purchase. Deep sleep is so important, and almost everyone fails to get enough of it. It is responsible for most of your body’s daily rejuvenation, repair, controlling hunger and weight loss hormones, boosting energy, and so much more. The reason people don’t get enough of this type of sleep is due to magnesium deficiency. BiOptimizers’ Magnesium Breakthrough is just what you need to make sure you’re getting the right amount.

Ruthie Lindsey is a true healing inspiration, an author, a speaker, a podcast host, and one of the most incredible humans. This Spring, she released her life-changing healing memoir, “There I Am,” her beautiful story of overcoming pain after being hit by an ambulance at 17 years old and then being the only person on earth to have a wire poking into her brains team. She identified with her pain story for many years because it made her who she is — but that is not who she is anymore. If you’ve heard her story before, this is going to be a different angle entirely, which we are so excited about. Rather than talking about her pain story, we focus on her healing journey to share that hope is possible, and how lovely and glorious and full of playful energy life can be on the other side of pain. We get into water fasting, ayahuasca, journal speak, plant medicine, shamanism and so much more. We can’t wait to hear your thoughts!  Thank you Four Sigmatic for sponsoring this episode! Jordan has been drinking their adaptogenic coffee since 2015, and it gives her the energy and alertness she needs without the jitters of regular coffee. Her favorite right now is the chaga, which is full of natural herbs that keep you alert, and the reishi, which helps to calm you down at night. You can visit foursigmatic.com/blonde to see all of her favorite products and use code BLONDE for 10% off your first purchase!
