  • For today's episode, we're bringing back a fan favorite! One of our most popular episodes from 2022, this episode explores the topic of metabolic health.

    With a society that’s obsessed with diet culture, even “healing” diets like Whole 30, Paleo, and Keto, we often love having easy-to-follow lists that tell us exactly what to eat and not eat in order to be healthy.

    But this has led to nutrition becoming overly black and white, with people often demonizing certain foods. Unfortunately, this way of thinking can lead to restrictive dieting, food fear, and even malnutrition and worsening health conditions.

    So how do we nourish and heal our bodies without succumbing to restriction and fear? How can we enjoy food freedom while also fueling our body with the appropriate nutrients that will help us thrive?

    That’s what Jordan explores in this episode with Kori Meloy and Fallon Danae as they discuss what it really looks like to nourish your body, restore your metabolism, and experience food freedom.

    Tune in to this powerful episode to learn about:

    Kori and Fallon’s own healing journey through endometriosis, Hashimoto’s, and restrictive eatingThe importance of nourishing your body to support your metabolismWhat it looks like to fuel your body with biologically available and restorative foodsThe harm of diet culture and following popular dietsHow many calories we really need and why most women aren’t getting enough

  • In a world with beautiful photos and Instagram posts, social media can often romanticize pregnancy and birth and create high expectations for what your experience will or *should* be like.

    And while birth is a beautiful and miraculous thing, it can also be intense, uncertain, and scary - despite even our best efforts to prepare, educate, and advocate.

    Whether your birth went exactly as you dreamed it would, or your birth plans were thrown out the window, every birth is a miracle and your birth story holds its own unique beauty.

    In this episode, Jordan shares her story of giving birth to her son, Shepherd, and talks about how she navigated a birth experience that didn't align with what she had originally imagined, but ultimately brought her the best blessing.

    After walking through multiple pregnancy losses, and through the fear of this pregnancy being yet another loss, God was faithful and gave not only a healthy baby but TWO babies. 🌈🌈

    Tune in to this episode to hear:

    How previous miscarriages affected her expectations for pregnancy and birthWhat Jordan did to educate herself about birth and advocate for herself in the hospitalWays she navigated decisions as unexpected challenges came up How she processed having a different birth experience than she had imaginedWhat it was like to have two boys born in the same year


  • When a child is diagnosed with an oral restriction, such as a tongue tie, there is often a lot of pressure to get a frenectomy done as soon as possible.

    Parents are told that if they don't do a frenectomy, their child will have issues down the road with breastfeeding, solids, sleep apnea, etc. ​​

    But many parents aren't given the time or resources to explore other options of care.

    So the question is: what can be done holistically to help address oral restrictions and breastfeeding problems - whether it's instead of doing a frenectomy, or in addition to doing one?​

    This episode explores the answer to that question as Jordan speaks with Midline Revolution - a group that combines chiropractic care, myofascial cranial therapy, and lactation consultation to help mothers and babies navigate issues like oral restrictions and breastfeeding in the first year of life.

    Together, they explore how to holistically treat tongue and lip ties.

    Tune in to learn:

    What an oral restriction isWhy a lot of medical advice is heavily focused on immediately doing a frenectomy and why might this not be the best first solutionHolistic approaches to dealing with oral restrictionsWhy many people aren't getting the outcomes they want from a frenectomyHow information overload is impacting motherhood and the decisions we makeWhat can be done to holistically support someone who has already gotten a frenectomy

  • It's no secret that women in our society are on the go all the time - whether it’s because we’re working, transporting the kids to countless activities, taking care of the house, or doing countless other activities on our calendar.

    The pressure to be productive has caused us to pursue hamster wheel lifestyles with little rest.

    On top of it all, we're often told that if we want the best health or fitness, we should cut calories, do HIIT workouts, and try intermittent fasting (spoiler alert: these practices are based on research done on men, not women, and can be harmful to women's hormonal health).

    But how does busyness and fitness affect our hormonal health? And how do our hormones change our mental health?

    In this episode, Jordan talks with hormone expert Alisa Vitti about the connection between our cycles, hormones, nutrition, fitness, and mental health.

    Tune in to this episode to learn:

    How the pressure to do it all and our busy schedules affect our hormonal healthThe importance of understanding that women are underrepresented in biological researchWhy popular biohacking strategies, workout programs, and diets aren't the best option for womenThe way caffeine affects our hormones and what to do if we're reliant on caffeineHow the knowledge that our hormones are cyclical should affect how we prioritize our tasksThe link between mental health and hormones and what practical things can we do to improve our mental health

  • Does your work matter for eternity?

    Many people don’t believe so, or they think that the only time their work has eternal significance is when they are actively evangelizing.

    But that’s not what the Bible says.

    While sharing the Gospel is an essential part of being a Christian, the Great Commission and call to evangelize is not the only commission in the Bible.

    And when we study the First Commission in the Bible, we begin to see just how valuable every part of our work is, whether it’s changing diapers as a stay-at-home mom, roasting coffee as a barista, or making financial decisions as an entrepreneur.

    In this episode, Jordan talks with the author of “The Sacredness of Secular Work”, Jordan Raynor. Together they explore how our daily jobs have intrinsic and eternal value.

    In this episode, you’ll learn:

    The difference between the instrumental and intrinsic value of our workThe problems that arise when the Church makes the Great Commission the only commissionWhat other commission(s) the Bible givesWhat the unabridged Gospel teaches us about the purpose we have in our workWhy you don't have to work in ministry or a "Christian business" to have purposeThe problem with the half-truth that “Earth is our temporary home” and how this affects how we view our work

  • So many women who face unplanned pregnancies feel like the church is the last place they can go to for help, whether they are afraid of being judged or they feel there will be no support for them.

    While the church may be pro-life and has the power to have a huge impact, there has too often been a lack of practical, spiritual, and emotional support for abortion-vulnerable women.

    As today’s guest says, “Pro-life is a stance. Pro-love is an action.”

    So how can we as the church empower women with unplanned pregnancies? How can we give real help that allows them to choose life?

    That’s what Jordan and podcast guest Amy Ford talk about in this episode.

    Amy is the CEO of Embrace Grace, a ministry dedicated to equipping the church to provide support to women experiencing unexpected pregnancies.
