Is it unprofessional for a host to cry when she interviews a guest? Because that’s what happened when I interviewed writer, editor, and master crafter Jourdan Fairchild. I swear Oprah teared up a few times during her years, so I’m giving myself a pass. Jourdan’s story was just so damn moving!

Jourdan and I talk about leaving a big magazine career behind after falling in love, how losing her job at Daily Candy led her to a life-changing trip to Africa, and her new book that was inspired by her experiences there.

Jourdan proves that taking a risk, no matter how scary it is, can not only change your life…but someone else’s too.
