In this episode of Rewrite the Rules, I sit down with Laura Ard, a coach and podcast mentor who helps women find their voice, especially in seasons marked by loss, change, and grief.

Laura opens up about her own journey through grief and how it reshaped her identity, her faith, and the way she now supports other women. We talk honestly about what it looks like to care for yourself while you are still healing, why community matters more than ever in hard seasons, and how supportive relationships can carry you when you feel unsure of your next step.

We also dive into the power of podcasting as a tool for healing and self-expression. Laura shares why using your voice matters, how telling your story can be deeply freeing, and why you do not need to have everything figured out before you start. This conversation is especially powerful for women who have felt called to share their story but have been holding back out of fear, grief, or uncertainty.

Laura also shares insights into her coaching approach, her faith, and how deep healing begins when you stop hiding behind others and start stepping into who you truly are.

If you are navigating grief, craving deeper support, or feeling a nudge to use your voice in a new way, this episode will meet you right where you are and gently remind you that you are allowed to rewrite your story.

Grounded, honest, and deeply encouraging, this is a conversation about healing, identity, and the strength that comes from being seen and supported.

In this episode of Rewrite the Rules, I sit down with Cyn, a movement specialist and coach whose story will completely shift the way you think about your body and your healing.

Cyn shares her personal journey through physical challenges and injuries, and how those experiences led her into a more holistic and intentional approach to health. We talk about listening to your internal gut checks, rebuilding trust with your body, and why mindset, faith, and self-discovery matter just as much as movement and nutrition.

This conversation goes beyond workouts and routines. We dive into functional medicine, the role nutrition plays in true healing, and what it looks like to stop treating your body like a workhorse and start treating it like a partner.

If you have ever felt limited by your body, frustrated in your healing journey, or unsure how to move forward in a way that actually feels aligned, this episode is for you.

Cyn’s story is a powerful reminder that healing is not about doing more or pushing harder. It is about paying attention, trusting yourself, and choosing to move forward anyway.

Grounding, empowering, and deeply encouraging, this is one you will want to come back to.

In this episode of Rewrite the Rules, Jordan sits down with Cristina Simmons, founder of Soul Story Collective, to talk about the power of storytelling, healing through writing, and what can happen when you finally stop waiting and start saying yes to yourself.

Cristina shares her journey from quietly carrying a dream of writing a book for over a decade to publishing a bestselling memoir, leaving her 9–5, speaking on stages, traveling to places she once thought were out of reach, and opening her own publishing company to help other women do the same. What started as a leap of faith into a mastermind became a year of radical transformation.

This conversation goes deep. Cristina opens up about her personal story, including childhood trauma, profound loss, grief, motherhood, cancer, faith, and the physical toll of unprocessed emotions. She shares how learning to process feelings instead of suppressing them changed her health, her confidence, and her entire life.

You’ll hear about:

• Why storytelling is both healing and world-changing
• How writing her book helped Cristina reconnect with herself and her faith
• What “doing it scared” actually looks like in real life
• Using movement, nutrition, and mindfulness to heal trauma
• Why getting in the right rooms can completely shift what you believe is possible
• How Cristina helps women go from a blank page to a published book in six months

This episode is for the woman who knows she has a story to tell, a dream she’s been sitting on, or a next chapter calling her forward. If you’ve ever felt different, restless, or like you were made for more, this conversation will feel both grounding and expansive.

Your story matters. And it might be exactly what someone else needs to hear.

In this episode of Rewrite the Rules, Jordan sits down with fellow Oklahoman and finance powerhouse Kate Adams, a fully licensed financial advisor in investments and securities, with additional insurance licenses and even a mortgage loan officer background. Translation: she’s the person you want in your corner when you’re ready to stop guessing with money and start building real financial confidence.

Kate shares how she originally planned to become an attorney, but a front-row view of corporate layoffs and the realities of trading time for money shifted everything. What started as an unexpected pivot turned into a decade-long career helping people make, save, and grow their money, minimize taxes strategically, and create wealth in a way that supports the life they actually want.

You’ll hear:

• Why so many people are afraid of investing (and what to do instead)
• How Kate helps clients build wealth and hit major milestones, including “millionaire status”
• The mindset shift that happens when you stop trading time for money and start getting paid on results
• What it’s really like to lead and train a team and why systems matter more than hustle
• How personal development and “getting in the right rooms” impacts business growth
• Kate’s simple, powerful advice for the woman listening who isn’t “there” yet: take the baby step

This is a grounded, empowering conversation about money, mindset, business ownership, and building a future that feels free, one intentional step at a time.

In this episode of Rewrite the Rules, I had the privilege to interview Monica Connolly, transformation coach, speaker, and unapologetic example of what’s possible when you stop surviving and start choosing yourself.

Monica shares her powerful health journey, including a moment ten years ago when doctors told her she wouldn’t survive much longer unless something changed. After years of doing “everything right” and only getting sicker, she found herself at a breaking point, exhausted, overwhelmed, and completely depleted from caring for everyone else while neglecting herself.

What followed was a radical shift. Through holistic health, healing unresolved trauma, and learning how to truly nourish her body and mind, Monica lost over 150 pounds, healed a heart condition she’d been told would require open-heart surgery, and reclaimed her energy, confidence, and voice.

In this conversation, Monica opens up about:

• What it really looks like to hit rock bottom and choose a new path
• How healing trauma was the catalyst for physical healing
• Learning to set boundaries after years of being the “yes” person
• Overcoming a lifelong fear of public speaking and stepping onto stages
• Why getting in the right rooms changed everything
• How she built a coaching business rooted in holistic health, mindset, finances, and relationships
• Launching a podcast to amplify stories that remind people they can change their lives

This episode is for anyone who feels stuck, burned out, or quietly wondering if there’s more for them. Monica’s story is proof that it’s never too late to rewrite the rules, drop the box you’ve been living in, and build a life where you don’t just survive, you thrive.

In this episode, Gaby shares a raw and inspiring look at her personal growth journey and the moments that shaped who she is today. From navigating life’s fragility to learning how to truly honor herself, Gaby opens up about the power of mindfulness, self-care, and choosing yourself without guilt.

Together, we talk about motherhood, resilience, mental health, and what it really means to build a life that feels aligned instead of rushed. Gaby dives into why community matters so deeply, especially for women who are tired of doing everything alone, and how those lessons led to the creation of the Mindful Rebels Collective.

This conversation is a reminder that you don’t have to follow the rules you were handed. You get to rewrite them, set boundaries that protect your energy, and build a life rooted in connection, emotional freedom, and purpose.

If you’ve been craving permission to slow down, take care of yourself, and trust your own path, this episode will land right where you need it.

In this episode, I sit down with the incredible Jen Mentesana for a conversation that feels equal parts soul-stirring and deeply practical. We dive into the journey of self-discovery, the courage it takes to use your voice, and the magic that happens when you actually trust your intuition instead of talking yourself out of it.

Jen opens up about navigating big career pivots, stepping into entrepreneurship, and what it really means to live in alignment instead of obligation. She shares powerful insights from her new book, Guided by Grace, unpacking how life is always dropping breadcrumbs, invitations, nudges, opportunities and how everything changes when you finally start following them.

We also explore the role of coaching in helping women rise, the transformation that happens inside retreat spaces, and the fulfillment that comes from building a life that feels true to who you are.

If you’re in a season of transition, craving clarity, or feeling that pull toward something more… this conversation with Jen will feel like the permission slip you didn’t know you needed.

She opens up about the 180 Method and the Light Method, explaining how they help people overcome limiting beliefs, heal from pain, and reconnect with their purpose.
