The Gifts of Trauma

Choosing a Life of Love with Jordan Decker


Listen Later

Hosted by Kevin Young

Produced by J'aime Rothbard

Jordan brings love and hope to a world yearning for acceptance and authenticity. His courageous exploration of the power of self-love, invites us to unlock the depths of our own hearts and embrace our true selves. Most importantly, he reminds us that choosing love is not just possible; it's the key to both joy and resilience.

A testament to the human spirit's capacity for growth, Jordan's journey to acceptance of his identity as a transgender man affirms that we are all worthy of love and belonging, exactly as we are. His experience teaches us that self-acceptance is not a destination, but a daily practice, and that accepting ourselves fully—messy parts and all—fuels positive change.

An 'accidental advocate' for suicide prevention within marginalized communities, Jordan creates supportive, loving environments where everyone feels valued, seen and heard. His message of compassion demonstrates the healing effect of extending kindness to ourselves and others.

Jordan's words empower us to take responsibility for our lives, and to choose love, even when it's challenging. His childhood experiences remind us that our past does not have to define us; if we view every wound as a transformative opportunity, it can refine us. His view of life as "Earth School" invites us to approach each day as an opportunity to learn, grow, and become the embodiment of love itself.

Accept Jordan's invitation to embrace the power of choice and the practice of self- compassion. Open your heart to the endless possibilities that arise when you take full responsibility and let your own love-light shine.
