The Balanced Blonde // Soul On Fire

There’s so much going on right now and things are feeling very heavy. For those of us who are so energetically sensitive, open, and engaged, it can be a hard time — yet a revolutionary time. Things are changing for the better even though they might feel dark right now. So today we are discussing shadow work on the spiritual journey, and diving deep into the details of what an awakening looks like. Jordan offers her advice on how you can do some of that inner work, find joy, and live your truth. In this episode, Jordan shares some of her thoughts about channeling, awakening, healing, spirituality, and waking up. She is still on the journey of waking up to her soul, her spiritual and psychic gifts— it’s a forever journey. She dives into deets about aliens, Pleiadians, Akashic records, 5D consciousness, angels, past lives, and more. And a bit of food combining, because we’re well rounded over here. ;) Jordan also spends time addressing questions from The Balanced Blonde community! She touches on manifestation, channeling spirits, fifth-dimensional living, and more. This episode is packed full of updates on Jordan’s life and advice for living a Soul on Fire life!!

Jasmine Leyva is a director, actor, and filmmaker responsible for the documentary “The Invisible Vegan,” which explores the problem of unhealthy dietary patterns in the African-American community. She talks about the opportunities of health and wellness enabled by a plant-based life in those communities. All of the prevalent documentaries in the plant-based community are made by white people — mostly men — and while all of these are important for the cause, Jasmine wanted to come at it from a different, important angle that hadn’t been explored before. She is so kind and has a loving spirit + she shares openly some of her life experiences, both beautiful + painful. Thank you Four Sigmatic for sponsoring the show!

Many of us have had struggles with body image. It can be so difficult to balance finding confidence in the skin we’re in, loving our body, but also wanting to look or feel better to optimize our health from the inside out. There has been so much body shaming on social media and IRL aimed at people who want to lose weight, get stronger, or feel better through exercise and diet. We have shifted completely from body positivity to pushing back against health optimization. Jordan shares her personal journey with body image and her experience being the focus of this public shaming, as well as the process of getting her power back. It is a candid episode that goes deep and also answers listener Q&A’s. It is PART ONE of a larger conversation on health, and next week we will release PART TWO!  We have a new sponsor for the show, Organifi! Jordan’s favorite product is their green juice. Their product is certified USDA organic, dairy-free, gluten-free, keto-friendly, soy-free, and 100% vegan.

Jordan has been on a water fast for the past 15 days, and now that she’s back she wants to share all of what she has learned during the experience. We use over 40% of our daily energy digesting and absorbing food, and this can be even higher for people with illness and digestive issues. But when you fast, your body can redirect that energy back into healing. In this episode, Jordan dives deep into the benefits of water fasting, the struggles associated with it, and how she sustained motivation to get through it all. This is a very intimate and deep episode and we hope it helps inspire others who are living with chronic “incurable” illnesses to share that healing IS possible! Jordan received so many downloads during this time and is so happy to be able to share them here with you guys. Thank you to our sponsor, HUM Nutrition! When Jordan was getting back onto her regular routine after her water fast, she used their supplements to help her get her strength back. You can use the code SOUL for 20% off of all HUM Nutrition products, and they’re shipping with no delays right now. Jordan loves their Daily Cleanse.
