The Balanced Blonde Podcast // Soul On Fire

Well this is certainly a special episode, and it’s a deep dive. This week on the show we have two of my best friends in the world Jenna Zoe & Krista Williams — who need no introduction! Not only have they both been on the show many times, but they both also have amazing platforms of their own. Jenna founded the MyHumanDesign app, website, podcast and beyond, and Krista is the co-host of Almost 30, Morning Microdose, the founder of The Life Edit & Making Tarot Modern.   They are both healers, teachers, authors, seekers, and beautiful souls inside and out. But most of all, they are incredible women who mean so much to my heart. We have all grown so much together over the last many years. In this conversation we discuss conscious friendships, how we all met, how to cultivate meaningful relationships, how to heal from codependency, how to avoid building resentment in friendships, navigating our 20’s and early 30’s, and beyond.   You can tune into both women on the show in these episodes to learn more abou

It was so special to have Julie Piatt aka Sri Mati on the show this week! I have been a fan of hers for a long, long time — and we WENT there in this conversation. We talk all things quantum, starseed, spirituality, and beyond. We also talk about sacred motherhood, relationships, and all about Julie’s new plant-based cheese brand SriMu.   Julie Piatt is a mystic mother, musician, artist, chef, author and healer who has lived her life immersed in devotion and expansive creativity. She is a wayshower of finding the divine in all life experiences. She shares her wisdom from a multitude of life events that she has experienced as processes of alchemical transformation. In her experience, her life has shown her that It is the ability to hold the divine perspective in all life brings before you that allow for the deepest access to the meanings that life is waiting to reveal to us.   This is a deep, juicy, expansive convo all around and I am SO excited to share it with you!   And we are hosting a wellness giveaway th

It was such a joy to have the fabulous Mari Llewellyn, Forbes 30 under 30 honoree, founder of Bloom Supplements, host of the brand new Pursuit of Wellness podcast, fitness & wellness inspiration. and an all around incredible human on the show today. It has been such a joy to meet Mari in recent months and I couldn’t be more honored to have her here to share her wisdom with you all.   Mari is the definition of a powerhouse. She runs Bloom with her husband Greg, she takes care of her physical and mental health better than almost anyone I know, she hosts her podcast, creates the best social media content, runs the workout app The Slay App, rides her horse every weekend (!!) & is always on the go doing the most game changing things. Most of all, I love that Mari puts her health and wellbeing first — and has transformed her life inside and out.   She lost 90 pounds through pure dedication and devotion, and has found healing from her struggles with Borderline Personality Disorder through rigorous therapy an

This is one of the deepest and most vulnerable solo episodes I have ever done. I just got on the mic and let it all fly. I felt like it was high time I share with you guys the journey I have been on with mental health, anxiety, panic attacks, and regulating my nervous system.   I do want to give a little trigger warning here that if you are doing with panic and working through reprocessing your own trauma, definitely tune into your heart to decide whether this episode is right for you to listen to at this time. We only touch on trauma here and there, and I am confident that this episode will help you feel less alone if you are going through something similar. But as always, your own mental health is what’s most important!   This episode is full of life updates, a mental health deep dive, what my last 12 weeks have looked like through my own dark night of the soul journey, healing, therapeutic techniques and tools that have helped me, and beyond. We also talk about the topics of feminine rage, the dysregulated

Today on the show we have the incredible Alli Schaper, the founder of Into the Multiverse, the Microdosing Collective & functional mushroom brand Super Mush. She is an expert on microdosing mushrooms, psylocibin, psychedelics, functional mushrooms, the legalization of mushrooms, and so much more. I am so in awe of her knowledge and the stand that she has taken for psychedelics, and I am honored to share her wisdom with you guys on the show today.   You guys have been begging for a full episode on microdosing for a long time, and it is finally here. This one is super special. We talk about what actually happens in the brain when you are microdosing, neuroplasticity and how to shift our mindset, the future of mushrooms and legalization, how/where to get them (to the best of our ability we share this…!), healing and more.   We have also both been on a healing journey from mold and mycotoxin illness, so we discuss this as well. For any of our fellow mold healing fam, we’ve got you.    Check out Alli on Instag

It was such a joy to have Tina Anderson, the CEO & founder of Just Thrive Health on the show to talk all things gut health, microbiome, immunity, probiotics & psychobiotics (yes, it was also the first time I had ever heard this word!!). We connected on so many levels, from natural living to spirituality, and there are some very special moments of this episode where her grandmother channeled through… and I am still not over it!   In this episode we talk about how and why probiotics actually work, how to find a GOOD probiotic, what the gut-brain axis really is, and how to be discerning when choosing products for our health and wellbeing.   Visit justthrivehealth.com and use code BALANCED for 15% off your purchase!!   AND WE ARE STILL HOSTING A GIVEAWAY !!

This episode was fully manifested, and you guys *know* that this is the VPR x TBB crossover we have all been waiting for. Scheana Shay has been a main cast member on Bravo’s Vanderpump Rules for an entire decade — and I really do feel it is something special to be in the spotlight for that long and still leave your audience wanting more the way that the VPR crew does.   It was so much fun to meet Scheana and we really hit it off on so many things, including motherhood, our mental health journeys postpartum, how she deals with negativity online, and how she has found confidence in her own skin after the last ten years on the show.   We also did a swap, so you can hear me on Scheana’s show Scheananigans talking all things psychedelics, Lyme, healing, motherhood, shape shifting, psychic awakening, and beyond! Give it a listen, and tell us your thoughts on IG about the swap!     AND WE ARE STILL HOSTING A GIVEAWAY !! To celebrate 300 episodes and to thank you so much for listening & being amazing for all thes

OMG you guys I had so much fun interviewing Dave Asprey for his second time on the show, and our first time doing it in person. I have been a fan of Dave since day one — as you’ll hear me gushing in the episode, I was an original Bulletproof customer, and Jonathan (my husband) was one of their literal first customers ever!   World-renowned biohacker and bestselling author Dave Asprey reveals how to maximize your well-being with the minimum effort, by taking control of your body’s operating system. We hit it off and talked all things living optimally, spirituality, veganism vs. non-veganism (you know he has thoughts on this!!), kale (LOL but really), how to bio hack your body and get the best results possible, postpartum, anxiety, minerals & heavy metals, and so much more.   If you want to lose weight, boost your energy, or sharpen your mind, there are shelves of books offering myriad styles of advice. If you want to build up your strength and cardio fitness, there are plenty of gyms and trainers ready to

What a dream it was to have my dear friend Jeannette Aranda back on the show, a full six years after her first appearance on TBB (TO THE DAY — you cannot make it up), and for her third time chatting here on Soul on Fire. Today’s convo was extra special and vulnerable, because we are touching base after all that Jeannette has been through in the last year and a half.   I want to commend Jeannette on her wildly powerful healing journey, her strength for her boys, and her rock solid vulnerability with her audience and with us today on the podcast. I really feel it is not often that we come across people as authentic, confident and true to themselves as Jeannette and I feel honored that she was open to coming on the show to talk about her path forward, even though there are still such hard days.   I personally am so inspired by her on a daily basis, and not just as a friend but as an avid consumer of her content and a forever fan, I was super thankful to be on the mic with her. I adore this human and I hope that

This episode was so fun, and the format was a total shock to me! Jonathan took the reins and got a handful of the most influential/interesting people in our lives to ask questions for me in this episode. It was along the lines of: “If you could ask Jordan ONE question, what would it be?!”   So in this episode with my husband being the killer host that he is, you will hear thought provoking (and fun, and sometimes hilarious!!) questions from everyone from Jenna Zoe, to Kenzie Burke, to my 82-year-old nanny (!!), Jesse McCartney, Trevor Hall, Khalil Rafati, my dad, Lauren & Michael Bosstick, Krista Ripma, my brother-in-law Adam, my starseed friend Chris, Lauren Roxburgh and more.    Each guest question stunned me more than the next, as Jonathan’s goal was to include an eclectic group of people that would surprise me!! I.e. not just my mom and my best friends. This is an incredible group of people that ranges from close friends and family to people that I deeply admire and do not know as well! So excited for

Today I am honored and thrilled to have my new friend, the phenomenal Dayna Kathan on the show! You likely know her from her time on Vanderpump Rules during Season 8 where she was a main cast member. We were connected by our dear mutual friend Courtney (shoutout!!) & I am SO glad we were because this conversation was destined to be.   What people likely do not know from seeing Dayna on television is that she is truly an empath, healer and a light worker. She has been diving deeper into her gifts, and she really blew me away. We kicked off this conversation by talking about mental health and our shared reality of anxiety, panic, hyper fixation, and beyond. We really dove right in!   We cover everything from Dayna opening up intuitively to paranormal experiences, her time on TV, and what she is doing now. Cannot wait to hear your thoughts!! And yes… we manifested this conversation, you guys! We have been talking about VPR x TBB crossovers *forever*!!!   We hope you love this episode and cannot wait to hear

Today I am honored and thrilled to have the incredible functional medicine doctor & best-selling author Dr. Stephen Cabral on the show talking all things HEALING from autoimmune conditions and beyond. I love his empowering approach to healing dis-ease, heavy metals, mast cell issues, and the rest of the tricky mystery illnesses we deal with today.   I was also honored to do the testing with Dr. Cabral myself and get a comprehensive panel shared with me in this episode. As always, I hope it can help you find more healing in your life and find your own root causes of imbalances and pain!   Here are just a few topics we cover in today’s conversation:   The new model of health & disease How to address the root cause of health imbalances How to move beyond bloodwork and do at-home lab tests to find out what is really plaguing YOU vs. the guesswork of trying to figure it out by trial & error What is a hair analysis, anyway?! How to read your own labs and empower yourself What the different outcomes of

Ahhh, I have been so excited to share this episode with you guys! Ever since I read Erin Falconer’s book How to Break Up With Your Friends, I knew she was a dream guest to have on the show. She is a therapist, best-selling author, a mother, and a wise human when it comes to all things boundaries and navigating friendships as an adult.   This episode isn’t just about how to break up with your friends, it is also about how to be a better friend. I learned such valuable information in Erin’s book about the science of friendship (and how important it is to our livelihood and wellbeing!), how long it takes to truly become someone’s friend, the difference between a friend and a best friend, and how many best friends we can successfully have without spreading ourselves way too thin — or just lying to ourselves!   Erin is the queen of navigating hard conversations, instilling boundaries, standing up for yourself in relationships and also auditing relationships to make sure they are still a good fit in the different e

Happy new year, my loves! So thrilled to share our FIRST solo episode of the year with you today… ah!! I can hardly believe it. Welcome to 2023.

I hope it does the same for you!   Let me know your thoughts on my latest Instagram — tell me your fave parts and what you want to hear more of for this year!!
