Taking Up Space with Jordan

Let's challenge the idea that you needed to figure out your dreams in your twenties or experience one dramatic light-bulb moment.

We talk about divorce, my own dreams and how it was a gradual realization and that dreams emerge through curiosity and experimentation.

This episode is for the girlies that are feeling stuck, drained and maybe feeling that self-doubt creep in. Going after your dreams is a long and tough road, but that doesn't mean we should give up after setbacks or roadblocks.

Reset your mindset with these five steps, they aren't easy but they are entirely worth it.

In this episode I get honest about how I've been navigating self-doubt around my dreams and goals for myself. Self-doubt is something we all experience on our path to getting to our dreams, but do we ever really talk honestly about it?

I'm turning another year older and I am taking 32 to manifest everything that I want. So come along with me to chat about another year around the sun.

Are you ready for a first look of my second book? In my second author diaries I get you caught up on the future of what it looks like to be an author with a second chance.

Let's talk about why we need the reminder that a mile is a mile and it doesn't matter how long it takes you to finish it. Join me in this week's conversation on why your dream feels impossible until you begin to break it down.

I’m back after a much-needed two-month break! This week we’re talking about burnout, letting go of perfection and the Type A lifestyle, depression and mental health, learning to celebrate ourselves, the privilege of chasing our dreams, and what I want this next chapter of Taking Up Space to look like.

A little heads up: This episode includes a conversation about depression and suicidal ideation from [16:00 - 19:21]. Please take care of yourself and skip that section if you need to. 🤎

After almost three years of podcasting, I'm pressing pause.Not because I'm burned out.Not because I'm giving up.And definitely not because this is goodbye.I'm choosing to give one dream my full attention.Over the last few months, I've realized that every creative idea keeps pulling me back to the same place: writing. Between working full-time, writing two books, creating videos, recording podcasts, and trying to actually enjoy my life, I've learned something important...You can love a lot of things without having the capacity for all of them at the same time.In this season finale, I'm sharing why I'm stepping away from the podcast for the summer, what this next chapter looks like, and why choosing one dream doesn't mean the others are over.Thank you for spending the last few years with me. This podcast helped me find my voice, and because of that, I finally found the courage to call myself an author.This isn't the end.It's simply the end of this season.Have an incredible summer.I'll see you soon.💙 Follow along as I disappear into my author era:📚 Website: www.takingupspacewithjordan.com/authorera📖 Books: All Parts of Me 📱 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/takingupspacewithjordan/🖤 TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@UCGzwUEWXHaeU2oW6CnoGztQ

⚠️ Trigger Warning: This episode discusses estrangement, emotionally absent parents, family trauma, grief, and difficult parent-child relationships.

What do you do when the person you're grieving is still alive?

In this episode of Taking Up Space, we're talking about a type of grief that doesn't get enough attention: grieving a parent who is no longer part of your life. Whether you've gone no contact, have a complicated relationship with a parent, or are mourning the relationship you wish you had, this conversation is for you.

Together we'll explore the difference between the parent we had and the parent we needed, why acceptance is not the same as approval, and how healing doesn't always mean reconciliation.

If you've ever felt guilty for grieving someone who is still living, I hope this episode reminds you that your loss is real, your feelings are valid, and you're not alone.

Because sometimes the hardest goodbye is to the version of someone we kept hoping would change.

🎙️ Taking Up Space is a podcast for women who are building lives they love through self-trust, boundaries, healing, and personal growth.
