"How do you start prioritizing your health again after falling off the bandwagon?"
Maybe you experienced a big event in your life, like a traumatic birth, the loss of a loved one, or a financial crisis, and you went into survival mode. Suddenly, cooking healthy meals, working out, or choosing cleaner products just isn't a priority.
Or maybe your life has gotten so chaotic that you haven't found the time to pursue your health goals because you're honestly just trying to stay afloat.
Whatever it is for you, there are often seasons where we aren't able to pursue our health goals as we had hoped. So how do you start making your health a priority again?
Where do you begin when you lack motivation or feel overwhelmed?
In this episode, Jordan answers a listener's question about how to start prioritizing your health again after getting off the bandwagon!

Is there something wrong with me? How many more wrong ones until the right one? Am I hard to love? Why is everyone else finding a spouse and not me?
These questions have kept many of us up in the middle of the night as we doubt and worry about never finding love.
Maybe you're not in a season of singleness, but there is another dream you've been waiting and praying for that still hasn't happened (but seems to be happening for everyone else).
Or maybe you're facing rejection, broken dreams, or failed relationships and can't understand how God is working.
In this episode, Jordan talks with Madison Prewett Trout about finding your worth in God, navigating a season of waiting, and trusting in God amid disappointing or confusing circumstances.

Do you ever feel like your life is so far from where you thought you would be or where you long to be? Maybe you struggle to be fully present or content in your present moment because you're so focused on the future.
Whether it's something as small as not having the time to keep your house clean because you're chasing after little kids, or something as big as longing for a spouse or a child, we often get stuck in our longings and feel disappointed in our circumstances.
So how do you press in right now when you're not where you want to be?
In this episode, Jordan talks with author Ruth Chou Simons about being present in your life and pressing into God even when your circumstances don't align with your expectations or hopes.

Have you been discouraged in your wellness journey? Maybe you feel like you're putting in a lot of effort, but not seeing the progress you hoped for.
Or maybe you feel like there's a million more things you should be doing in your health journey.
Perhaps you're so worried about achieving "perfect health" that you're stressed out and haven't been able to rest and enjoy your time (by the way, perfect health doesn't exist).
In a world where there's so much new information all the time - new trends, new studies, and new fad diets - sometimes it's important to go back to the basics and steward your body by focusing on nourishment, rest, and joy instead of trying to keep up with all of the latest biohacks.
In this episode, Jordan gives encouragement for your health journey, shares Biblical insights about health, and talks about foundational health practices that helped her get through the stress (and lack of sleep) that comes with having young children.

What does it mean to reclaim your womanhood in today’s culture?
Divisive and politicized, modern feminism and the call to rewrite traditional gender roles and fight for reproductive rights has increasingly become at odds with Biblical values.
So how can we take a deeper look at feminism and better understand its roots and messaging? And how does feminism compare to a Biblical view of womanhood?
In this episode, Jordan asks the hard questions as she speaks with former feminist leader Justice Kuehl who breaks down the history and the teachings of the feminist movement and helps us understand its implications and how it contrasts with a Biblical view of womanhood.

Our medical system recommends pap smears as preventative screenings but when a woman wants to have a baby, the medical approach is "Give it a whirl. We'll see what happens."
Fertility testing usually isn't done proactively or preventatively. Too often testing is only done once a woman has had multiple miscarriages or prolonged infertility.
But what if we took proactive steps to advocate for our health and did some simple tests before getting pregnant or experiencing fertility issues?
In this episode, Jordan shares what she wishes she had known before trying to conceive and what tests she would have done before getting pregnant.

Broken trust can be painful and cause you to question all your relationships with people and even your relationship with God.
Whether a family member betrayed you, someone cheated on you, a leader deceived you, or a friend hurt you, it can be difficult to move forward.
You may start to question if it's wise to trust that person again or if you'll be able to discern if someone else is telling you the truth.
You may even start to question if you can trust God when you're afraid of what He'll allow next.
In this episode, Jordan talks with author Lysa TerKeurst about what trust is made up of, what to do about broken trust, and how to move forward with ourselves, others, and God.

MRIs show that our brains physically change after having kids.
As a mom, your brain prioritizes the survival of your kids. It is subconsciously assessing potential scenarios and trying to figure out how to prepare for all the what-ifs.
But all these subconscious thoughts can lead to anxiety, fatigue, brain fog, and overwhelm - without us even realizing why.
So how can we learn to work with our brains?
In this episode, Jordan talks with "America's #1 mom coach" Hannah Keeley about practical changes that can help ease the burden of mom fog and overwhelm.
